Maris Grieve

Maris Grieve, currently known as Star, is a Malkavian. Her mortal identity is legally missing and the case went cold leaving her fiance to look for her himself.

History
As a teenager she was kicked out of her home due to coming out and was left on the streets where she struggled to survive. To cope with it all she turned to drugs to numb the pain that she couldn't bear otherwise. She got lucky and manged to find some housing with other trans young adults and teens that were in similar sitchs. That gave her the chance to begin working to help herself.

While working at a coffee shop in The Valley she met Eric who'd come in for tea. The two felt drawn together and ended up talking in her off hours where the two could relate to each other and started a stable relationship. Some time later Eric ended up telling her all about his childhood and what he had done in special ops. That's when she informed him of her drug addiction and trans status. He was supportive and after he left for another tour she started going to therapy to kick her habit.

Life was good and the couple began to plan their future together. That's around the time Eric popped the question and asked her to marry him. She said yes of course and was over the moon, this was a life she couldn't have dreamed of when she was younger. The two also bought a house and planned to marry when Eric next returned from work.

While Eric was not in the country in the middle of the night she heard people break into her home. She'd always been a light sleeper since her time on the streets. She grabbed a baseball bat and went to confront them, finding a couple young adults in her home she freaked out and hit one. The resulting fray ended when one of them hit her with the bat way too hard and she passed out clearly near death. The kindred who had just been there to drink a bit of her blood freaked out and grabbed the body and left. Later in an alleyway they embraced her.

They did stick around for when she woke up and even fed her rat blood so she wouldn't lose it. Her resulting issues was near complete amnesia of her past and general forgetfulness and memory problems. She did not know who she was nor what she had became. Breaking into the house again seemed ill advised so the group whisked her away to teach her.

The kindred in question were a coterie named The Weird Sisters, two Malkavians named Luna and Sol. The Weird Sisters are a coterie allied with The Anarchs local to east L.A which is where Star would have to make her new home, unaware of her past and not wanting to return to whatever pain there was back there.

From time to time she'd spy upon her old home and the man who lives there. While she does not know who he is to her she knows he was important, in fact he was a touchstone of hers tied to the idea of letting the past go to focus on the now.

Personality
In her mortal life she was a kind and understanding woman who rarely judged others and could accept near anything from those she cared about. A bit of a broken bird however she was deeply troubled by her past and frequently experienced extreme emotional pain that she'd try to keep to herself. She never wanted to put more pain out there into the world, she had seen far too much to think that the world needed anymore of it.

These traits were slightly twisted by her embrace and the six years that have passed since then. Still overall nice and understanding with her troubled mind she's became very forgetful with memory issues and a desire to not remember. In her mind the present is the only thing that matters as the past was only pain and she knows that trying to return would only do more harm than good, and she doesn't see much of a future for herself.

Also she's went from harmless to willing to do what it takes to protect herself and the people she cares about. Not in a simple easy to digest way but in the way a mother bear protects her cubs, vicious and willing to spill blood. She's became a spy for the Weird Sisters handling the social things they can't, investigating threats and frequently betraying those pose any sort of threat.
