Tommie had an idyllic life, carousing through the Camarilla court of San Francisco without worries as favored ghoul, pet, and touchstone of one of the court's Primogens, vying for her Primogen's attention and for the Embrace of one of the Toreador Roses at court.

That was her life until she was abducted by Fish, one of Primogen Lucien's enemies, and Embraced in an act of petty revenge, damning her to the curse of Malkav, which only worsened her already existing bipolar 1 disorder.

After the callous Embrace, Tommie is abandoned into the streets of the Anarch Free State of LA, destitute and with no allies, left to fend for herself and find a way back to San Francisco, unaware that the Second Inquisition is raining bullets and holy fire onto her beloved Court.

This is Tommie's 4th day as a vampire... She struts down the sidewalk of Hollywood, confident and determined, looking for signs of kindred unlife. She knows she has to learn about the vamp community here in LA if she wants any chance of returning to her court, but she's still wary of them. It's not out of prejudice, mind you, it's just a fact of life; she has heard from Lucien and the Camarilla that the Anarchs are like sharks, and Tommie right now is as vulnerable as a freshly caught chum salmon...
