Gypsum

"The urge to destroy is also a creative urge."-Pablo Picasso

Life
In life Gypsum, was an artist. She grew up with a love of art. Always asking to be taken to museum, doing well in art classes on the compound. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the compound rules at all. It was all focused on the next life, the eternal one, and there was the ever present "Shepard" to keep them on the path to that.

They all followed the path of harmony there, and it truly let her paintings and her soul blossom. She was so excited it was her turn to she the Shepard in person on her 16th birthday.

Embrace
The Shepard, or truer to his nature Shepard Erikson, was a Toreador, who had developed a cult in the Pacific Northwest, as a recruitment tool. He got to choose bred with whom, and who got to meet his embrace, he had been waiting to taste Gypsum for some time now. Gympsum didn't scream. She sat there painting until enough blood drained from her she couldn't anymore.

Unlife
In unlife she remained with Shepard and his self made Coeterie for some time. Unfortunately around the 1950's Shepard had entered into a Torpor, with out a proper leader she found her self traveling. Eventually landing in the ever growing Pittsburgh area of the late 1950's. She always remembered Shepard's teaching's about how the Camerilla saw him a break in the masquerade and never trusted the Camerilla, always using her art hidden in public to send messages to other dissenter.

It was when the revolt started she knew she could be a of use. She gave information on the Camerilla toreador and even help lead some of the ambushes.

Eventually at the end she found her self in charge, she was the leader know and she taught the other Toreador, how to be free. Felix was basically a walking social plague after the Camerilla failed after all, and she knew all about freedom Until Jamie Lain entered the picture, who showed them how to tow the line between freedom and subservience. She was slowly pushed to the side. Still respected but no longer the leader.
