Augusta Finley, Toreador

Augusta was born in Marianna, Florida. She earned her bachelor's in American Studies at Florida State University. Her master's program was also in American Studies, with a focus on race, ethnicity, and gender theories. Her thesis was called On the mysticism of race and gender in the post modern American-kingdom. She later received a doctorate of Philosophy at the University of California, San Diego. By that time, Augusta was turning 50 something and had already become a prominent commentator on higher education, sexism, and religion and its intersections to race, class, gender, and violence. She is among the few kindred who were offered the embrace and turned by choice. She felt she could do more to help society without the time limits of a mortal life. Augusta's sire mysteriously vanished shortly after he turned her. She loves him and continues to look for him. Augusta is currently a freelance writer and speaker operating in the San Diego area. Though her lectures are always late at night, she still packs the building. She finds recent events and politics in the United States very concerning. Augusta has a fashion line, but donates profit to charity. She runs a night club named Mirror, that is known for being inclusive of LGBT and employs several other Toreadors. She has a well known relationship with Jamie Holbrook, former Camarilla Harpy.
