Rainbow Lake

Background

When Rainbow's parents christened her Nellie, they may have had some uncomfortable intuition about her future. Perhaps they were hoping it would lend her a steady, sensible nature. But the sixties got into Rainbow's blood. She was a flower child, forever stoned in the pusuit of oneness. She changed her name and prepared for the Age of Aquarius.

Some people have said that Rainbrow's Embrace was a sign that even the Ventrue were affected by the magic of that time. However, the more practical reason was a desire by the London Ventrue to infiltrate the peace movement, which they feared was a cover for Tremere activies. After the collapse of Flower Power, Rainbow became a grave embarassment to her sire, who avoided her as much as possible.

This suited Rainbow fine. The company of most other Kindred, especially Ventrue gave her bad Karma. Many of them reminded her horribly of her parents. She travelled the country, visiting festivals and peace protests, trying to keep the hippy dream alive. Then, in 1987, she met someone special, someone with who she could share her dream and eternity. Over the camp fire, Roger's inner child spoke to her through the portals of his soul. Unfortunately, it was lying.

Roger has proved a bitter disappointment to Rainbow. Unwilling to believe her intuition could be so far wrong, she has convinced herself Roger is 'in denial' about his true inner self. The two of them moved to York after Roger got over his head in the Machiavellian politics of the London Ventrue. She likes the fief, mostly because it gives her the freedom to wander the countryside, seeking tranquility and strange herbs.

Totally uninterested in power or social staus, Rainbow is about as far from a typical Ventrue as can possibly be imagined. If she could ever get her act together, her views on equality and sharing would make her an anarch. However, she would never dream of imposing her views on anyone and prefers to spread her message of love through example.

Image

Short and 'cuddly'. She has long brown hair, which she usually wears free. She has several tatoos of mythical animals on her back and arms. If she owns any clothes other than kaftans and long flowing skirts and blouses, she doesn't wear them. Lots of jewelery, beads, runes and charms which she had collected over the years.

Rainbow is really really not with it. She is friendly, but so vague that it's hard to tell if she can hear you, never mind if she's listening.

Habitat

Rainbow's feeding restriction is 'people at peace'. She will feed only on those at one with their inner child, in harmony with the cosmos and, occasionally, stoned out of their trees. In pursuit of this, she teaches Tantric meditation and Yoga classes, from the members of which she draws her herd. Probably uniquely amongst Ventrue, Rainbow lives in a real Gypsy caravan. Roger bought it for her in an uncharacteristic fit of guilt.

Ultimate Goal

Spreading peace and light, man.
