Jewel

Jewel always wanted to be a criminal. She watched the Wire, Scarface, Breaking Bad, and Tarantino flicks over and again growing up. Money wasn't her motivator. She just got off imagining herself commiting high profile crimes like those in the movies. Her desires weren't the fault of a horrible childhood, either. Jewel was adopted and didn't know her birth parents, but her foster family was well off and always kind. She had lots of friends and got good grades in school. The other kids saw her as the geeky Asian girl; someone to tease and copy homework from before class. But, secretly she craved the thrill of being bad and breaking the law. It started with minor stuff like shoplifting and growing and selling weed. She was only 12 then but quickly got good at her trade. When she graduated highschool she was taking enough to live off and then some. Then she met her ex husband, Amari. He was with a heavy gang, called the Corpse Crooks. They were wanted for felonies involving drugs, theft, TMV’s, assault, and robbery, and property theft. She wanted in but the Corpse Crooks was men only. Women were only around to put out, prostitute, and be homemakers. Jewel refused to do that. While Amari never hit her, he was sexist and verbally demeaning. She got fed up and left him and the Corpse Crooks to start an all girls group. She sought out women that needed protection and to heal from abuse. Being in a gang gave them family and a sense of belonging. One night, Jewel had thought she'd landed an incredible drug deal for her girls but found out too late it  involved a secret underworld scene of vampire gangs in Southern California.

She was embraced by an enterprising Brujah clan Sabat member that night who wanted to add some muscle to his own group. She quickly rejected the ideals of the Sabat and fled her sire. Jewel is currently a middle man for several kindred crime outfits, collecting boons and protecting investments. She is politically neutral and works with several different factions to negotiate deals.
