Thin blood assistant, Catherine Acero

Catherine isn’t quite a vampire, but she’s not human anymore either. She is called ‘thin blooded’, her vitae so diluted by generations of time that she feels the curse of vampirism less than others. Her body sometimes seems alive with faintly working organs and a pulse and her hair and nails will grow. She doesn’t fear the sunlight either and on occasion will eat food. But, Catherine is also weaker than other vampires physically and unable to tap into the supernatural abilities of the clan bloodlines. She learned a few alchemical tricks to work around this though, and can mimic some abilities with a little effort.

Though most kindred will persecute the thin blooded, especially the Camarilla, Catherine is an assistant to a powerful kindred and thus protected. No one is certain who her employer actually is, but bad things tend to happen to those who wrong them. She tends to business on their behalf during daylight hours, moving effortlessly between the two worlds of kindred and man where they cannot. Catherine also travels frequently between her birthplace of Los Angeles, CA and the city of New Orleans, LA. Scheming kindred with political aspirations in both cities would really like to know what reasons her boss has for her business trips and if it’s worth investing their time in too. Before this, she was an amateur fashion model and surfer on the West Coast and later a grad student studying anthropology at the University of New Orleans.
