Anne Bronte

Background

Member of the Leeds Toreador group, she has forgiven her brother Branwell for her Embrace. She enjoys the social whirl of Toreador life which she feels makes up for her isolation and tedious life as a mortal. For a Leeds Toreador, Anne is rather modern in her dress and speech.

Anne has little contact with Emily. She doesn't understand her sister's passion for the Moors or her anachronistic dress. She avoids Emily, partly because they have little in common any more and partly because Anne doesn't want to damage her standing in Marie's eyes by associating too much with a friend of Anne Cartwright's. The only place they regularly meet is the Bradford Mechanic's Institute Library, which is regarded as neutral ground. However, Anne still reads her sister's books and also writes herself. Anne's books are mostly biographies of kine, for the research of which she find her Presence and Auspex very handy.

After Marie, Anne is probably the most socially ambitious Toreador in the fief. She is very concious of status and position, even for a Toreador. She is usually one step ahead in the prestation game and can always be relied upon for an accurate assesment of who is on the way up or down. In Elysium she is often referred to (affectionately and not so affectionately) as 'the Harpy'.

Anne would dearly love to become the Toreador Primogen of the fief. However, the only way for this to happen is if Marie leaves the fief, dies or becomes the Prince. Anne feels that the last option is by far the most likely and would be willing to help Marie in any way she could. At the moment, Anne is working on her own position. She hopes that soon she come to be regarded as an Elder in the fief. She is rather jealous of Anne Cartwright who achieved her own rather early recognition as an Elder by 'founding' the Bradford Toreador faction. Anne Bronte feels that this is not really playing the game.
