 was there that Ramona’s unlife truly began.
Tanner, the Kindred that turned Ramona,
finally revealed himself in the Big Apple. He saved her
from the Final Death and decided to play the part of
the responsible sire. In response to the major threat
posed by Leopold, known as the bearer of the Eye of
Hazimel, Tanner organized the Gangrel of New York.
He was strict and controlling, but he provided stability
to the young Kindred, especially after the second
deaths of her friends from LA. For a short time,
Ramona knew peace.
The levy always breaks for Kindred, eventually.
The bearer of the Eye reemerged and destroyed her
new family. Ramona and her grandsire survived,
but the neonate did not stay with her last remaining
blood kin. She ran and ran, until fate again caught up
to her. She was given the chance to help avenge her
fallen brethren and quiet the memories of that night.
Through pain and strife, she managed to cut the Eye
from the face of the bearer and cause his Final Death
at last.
These nights, Ramona has wandered back
to the city that made her, L.A. She’s joined with
Anarchs, having felt the volatility of the Sabbat and
the callousness of the Camarilla. Still, the wandering
Gangrel has not put down roots, and continues to
seek her place in these hectic nights.
