HistoryShe was born in 1985 to Alessandra Piangi, a Bonegnawer kinfolk living on the streets of Rome. Who her father was? Well, Alessandra wasn't quite sure, but it was most likely one of the members of the mainly-Bone Gnawer pack "Guarders", following The Great Trash Heap. The theurge of the pack (Gossiper) claimed that he saw something in the newborn child, and he tied a spirit to her, a Trash Spirit. She grew up on the streets, and when she was ten, her mother was murdered, and though she didn't know of the Garou that watched over her, they found her mother's killer, made him regret things really much, and then continued keeping an eye on Sophia. As for the girl, she had learned the harsh ways of street fairly early, and after her mother's death she joined a street gang for protection, and with her new brothers and sisters, she developed. She cut her hair the first time when she was eleven, down to a whopping 6mm, to seem less attractive and more of a threat. She followed it up with piercings and tattoos, and it seemed to work. Though, it was partly, most likely, due to the Guarders, who came back from time to time to check up on her. When she was fifteen, she had developed enough for some people to not let themselves be discouraged by her combat boots, odd behaviour, tattoos and piercings, and four men decided to jump her to have some fun. Well, to make a long story short: She bit the leader in a sensitive place (hey, he shouldn't have put it there to begin with!), they started beating her, she frenzied, but instead of ripping them into pieces, she stepped sideways, much to her own surprise. By that time the Guarders had been called there, and the Ahroun (Chews on wires) got slightly pissed that someone had dared to attack his (maybe!) little girl, and ripped them into pieces. She was allowed to tag along with the Guarders, and they teached her the ropes in Garou society until they sent her off on her Rite of Passage, which was really just a simple task; she was to find a pure spirit and bring back. She managed to find a stray-dog spirit and brought it to the pack, and things were celebrated with a great party, and she was officially a Cliath. One of her fathers (the Galliard, Silences the Drunks), gave her a bag that he told her to take good care of, it'd hold all her Loot, Stuff and Junk. She promised him that she would, and set out on her own adventures. By that time she had turned 16. Her new playground became the Umbra, and she loved learning to know the spirits, listening to them. In a way, she became detached to the real world, only hopping into it to gather new Stuff. From time to time the Guarders stopped by, or another pack of werewolves, and she was happy to share her news with them, and what the spirits were up to in her little neighbourhood, and then she started having dreams... The dreams led her to a new world, Altamont, where she will be looking for her new life. |
