Shelly
“It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.” -Philip K. Dick
Family has been in Los Angles for long as anybody can remember... probably going back to the Spanish missions if anybody cared to try and trace it that far. Shelly was the daughter of a single mother (a seamstress) with a father neither of them ever talked about. Had a latchkey childhood well after that was socially acceptable parenting strategy, but what else was her mom to do if she wanted to pay rent? It gave Shelly plenty of time to read and read and read and read.
All that reading led to a scholarship to a fancy private high school they never would have been able to afford otherwise. The school wanted diversity, but it's hard fitting in when everybody knows you're the poorest one around by far. To try and fit in more, Shelly ended up selling a bit of drugs. It worked for a while. Until one of the other students got busted with drugs and narc'ed on her. Her locker was searched the next day and more drugs than she ever carried herself were found. Expulsion was immediate, the legal trouble dragged on and put a stop to any hopes of college she had.
No college, no high school degree, Shelly had to do something to help with rent. She started giving tours of LA. Tips were not great, but alright. One day some friends got the bright idea to explore a supposedly haunted asylum. Didn't get too far before some signs of blood and sounds of someone moving scared the friends away. She laughed and kept going. Turns out... it was haunted, but that was no ghost! And that's when Shelly's life-plan really got derailed... into some unlife plans.
- Tour Guide: There's always someone wanting to explore LA's most haunted locations, real or not.
- Puzzles: They're fun! They're frustrating! They're sometimes both at the same darn time!
- LA Native: Grew up in the Valley. Went to a fancy private school on scholarship awhile ago until she got into some trouble.
- For Camarilla Folks: only a few years out from under her sire's supervision. Mostly because he was crazy enough to get himself killed in a very embarrassing and preventable way.
