[Chiyako]

Alicia von Vulf
Origin: Prodigy (Scientific genius on the run!)

Values

• d4 Honor (Lies are locks and shields but to promise something is to give truth to that thing at a future date.)
• d4 Glory (It is only occasionally useful to stand out, but sometimes it is necessary.)
• d4 Passion (Love, affection, and lust are strange weaknesses of mine which both confuse, perplex, and excite me all the same.)
• d4 Justice (Rarely is the law of man fair and often is it necessary to carry out the law by one's own hands.)
• d4 Power (Knowledge is power and power is a very useful, often necessary tool.)
• d6 Truth (Truth is knowledge and knowledge is the most important thing in this world.)

Relationships

• d4 Aldert Helsink (Worrisome. He must not find me. I should be safe here, but that is never a guarantee with nobility. I must prepare for his finding me. I will not go quietly.)
  • Current heir to the Helsink noble clan. A large man in peak physical condition, only a little older than Alicia. He doesn't take 'no' lightly and tends to get his way one way or another. Of decent intelligence. Courageous, albeit with some hesitation when it comes to monsters. He was raised to believe the von Vulfs as monsters. Taught skills to bring low the last 'Vampire' of the east. He has people at his disposal. While he seeks justice for the death of his grandfather and the debilitating injuries of his father, he is an honorable man who keeps his word, and not as evil as those who raised him. It is unknown what he might do if he actually managed to locate Alicia, although she has no intention of finding out.
• d4 Edmund Blackwood (Dangerous! A man of unending lust and a seeker of women's hearts! It is a weakness of mine. I must be careful around him.)
• d4 Kojo/Carlo Amankona (Relatable? Strange rumors follow this man. But then I would know all about the dangerous effects of strange rumors, wouldn't I? We might be kin, in a way.)
• d4 Millicent 'Missy' Fisher (Unknown. Is she an academic? A trickster? The paranormal is a fascinating area of study, but how much of it is real? How much of her is real? My curiosity grows.)
• d4 Millicent 'Millie' Gerenhart (Talented. A fellow academic mind that has drawn my interest, albeit in an area I am not completely familiar with, but then this only enhances the curiosity.)
• d4 Saha Sky Eyes (Mysterious. A woman who seems somehow out of place. I cannot get a good read on her. There are mysteries here which I intend to explore.)
