Hair Brown Eyes Hazel Race African American Nationality American Height 5'7, 145 lbs Build Curvy Gender Female Face Claim Nathalie Emmanuel History History Erica Lisette Angeline Dubois was born into a wealthy family of old money, the second child overshadowed by her older sibling, Eric. Growing up in Eric's shadow, she developed a fierce determination to prove herself and achieve success on her own terms. Her interests led her away from the traditional paths valued by her family, and she pursued a career in psychology, specializing in phobias.During a family vacation in the remote countryside when she was seven, Erica wandered off into the woods near their summer home. She followed a trail of glittering lights and melodic whispers, leading her deeper into the forest. There, she encountered ethereal beings whose playful demeanor turned sinister as the sky darkened. The spirits, mocking and malevolent, shoved needles into her eyes, telling her it was so she could "see." The experience was so traumatic that Erica's mind suppressed the memory, rationalizing it as a childhood nightmare. This encounter left her with an intense phobia of dense, dark woods and recurring nightmares. She believes that the spirits' actions are why she has a natural talent for Auspex and her Medium abilities.Erica's academic journey in psychology began during her college years. She became fascinated with the human mind and emotions, specializing in behavioral psychology with a focus on phobias. Her interest in fear and its effects on the human psyche led her to study dreams, exploring the intersection of fear and the subconscious.Her life took a dramatic turn when she met Angelique, a Tremere vampire who recognized Erica's potential and began to mentor her. Angelique became the mother figure Erica never had, guiding her into the ways of the Tremere and helping her develop her natural abilities in Auspex. As a ghoul, Erica enjoys the power and knowledge her new life offers, while being wary of the dangers and political intricacies of vampire society.Erica now balances her professional life as a behavioral psychologist with her duties and studies within the Tremere clan. Her primary haven is a well-furnished apartment in a high-end neighborhood, and she also has a secondary haven within the Tremere chantry. Her feeding grounds include a university campus and a medical center, where she can discreetly feed on stressed individuals.
