I like the idea of the circus is a protection of sort for the monsters and magical creatures within. The idea being they are always on the move, so the local hunters can't get a hint of where they are. It is also providing secret services to the secret magical world at large. A place where werewolf can by potions to help keep their wolf selves under control, magical spells and totems to keep creatures looking like humans, that sort of thing.

Reactions: Mousetrap
A few points: Red head with pretty much all that it implied. She is the troublemaker type who seem to hold nothing sacred or seriously, costing through life doing the bare minimum, just enough to justify her presence. Hedonistic and cynical, though likes to have fun with others, keeps everyone at arms length. She is smarter than what she appears to be and likes manipulating people and the odd pranks. Not as heartless as she appears, but it takes a lot of digging to find that side of her.

Very nice!

I was thinking of using Adella but I am using her already. I'm sure my other RP partner won't take any offense because she is really my only vampire character. I may try my hand at creating a new vampire, I'll let you know how that turns out.

Brief History: Veronique was born as part of a French Romani tribe. Living as a Traveller was not easy, scrapping by a living by any means including crime and trading with the constant suspicion of outsiders and threats of violence from other fellow tribes. However, it was a close nit community which, though not soft or particularly affectionate, was protective with each member tribe being family in all but name. She had many brothers and sisters as well as aunts and uncles, she did not need to like them, but they had her back, and soon she did theres. She was barely walking when she was put to work for the tribe, taking part in both the tribe's legitimate and illegitimate business, making her fast on her feet, tough and street smart in no time.

However, there was more to the tribe than met the eye, deeply traditional and in tune to the more magical side of the world. Veronique was closest to it than most with her mother being the tribe's witch and spiritual head. Veronique's mother practised magic and not that faux spirituality of curses and hexes outsiders believed to be practised by the Romani. Techniques of elemental magic and alchemy, among other abilites, passed from mother to daughter for generations always used for the service and protection of the tribe. When Veronique turned sixteen, it was her turn to learn the arts from her mother. However, tragedy struck before she could get the full education.

A long-running feud with another tribe turned heated which drew the attention of the outside world to the tribes. Particularly the fighting drew the attention of certain group aiming to either destroy or collect the magical elements of the world. In the chaos that followed left both tribes destroyed, with all surviving members including Veronique, scattering. She wondered alone for a while, still hunted by the secret group. Serving by the skin of her teeth and the abilities taught by her mother. Eventually finding her way to a travelling circus welcoming to people like her. Her skills and knowledge becoming useful as performer as also the circus more secret services.
