Biography
Virginia Abernathy was born April 30th, 1922 in the area that is now known as St. Rose, within St. Charles Parish, Louisiana, just outside of the city of New Orleans. Her parents were Patrick Abernathy, an English immigrant and shoe-maker, and Adelaide Abernathy, a French-Creole native of New Orleans proper. Her mother died in 1937 and her father fell into depression and alcoholism before ultimately passing away, as well. This lead Virginia to set out at 15 to work in the bars and lounges within neighboring New Orleans.
Virginia lived as a lounge singer through the 40's. Her average singing ability was augmented by the enchanting voice she had been gifted since birth. It was her voice in 1949 that drew the attention of Alfred Hancock, a 10th Generation Toreador originally from Manchester, England. Alfred took her as a lover and blood doll, partly for his own inspiration but also out of the desire to inspire jealousy in his rival and ex lover, a Nola Malkavian named Elizabeth Tanner, who Virginia coincidently resembled in some ways.
Virginia served as Alfred's ghoul for the next two years and acted as his personal entertainer and performer at court events, including one for Doran, the Ventrue philospher and Prince of New Orleans. On Christmas Eve, 1951, Prince Doran granted Alfred permission to embrace Virginia into Clan Toreador. It was the very next day when Elizabeth Tanner, still jealous and spurned by Alfred's rejection two years prior, enacted her revenge.
Virginia was attacked just before sunset on Christmas Day when a servant and ghoul for Elizabeth Tanner, Henry Delacourt, tracked Virginia down near her apartment in the city and attacked her with a knife and quickly overpowered her. Henry stabbed her throughout the chest and throat several times before leaving her for dead once it appeared that the vitae in her veins had been spent. Through sheer will and fortune, Virginia survived the next hour until the sun had set and she was found by Alfred, who quickly embraced her on the spot on Christmas, December 25th, 1951.
The attack by Henry Delacourt shattered her already fragile psyche. Henry was destroyed by Prince Doran himself as punishment to Elizabeth Tanner for the unsanctioned attack and the Malkavian, cowed, seemed to give up on her plot of revenge... for a time. The next few years were trying for Virginia as she struggled to adapt to her new existence while suffering from the pain and trauma of her embrace. Alfred quickly grew impatient with his progeny when her previous allure and inspiration was replaced with fear and anxiety, though he never released her from his protection before his final death in 1955.
In 1955, Prince Doran was assassinated by an unknown assailant after confiding to allies his plans to turn New Orleans into Carthage reborn. Elizabeth Tanner resurfaced during the ensuring power struggle preceding the rise of Marcel Guilbeau as the new Prince of New Orleans. Tanner tracked Alfred and Virginia down at the former's haven and ambushed them. Alfred was destroyed quickly after being taken by surprise but Virginia managed to turn the tables in a rare show of strength and wit. Virginia avenged her sire and destroyed the Malkavian, Elizabeth Tanner, before burning her remains to ash.
It was this act that finalized the break in her fragile psyche. Virginia Abernathy fled and hid deep within the recesses of her own mind and a new persona emerged spurred by her deep fears along with a sense of remarkable opportunity. Virginia 'BECAME' Elizabeth Tanner from that evening onward while her true identity was assumed destroyed alongside her sire in the aftermath of Doran's fall.
Over the next few years, the Malkavian Elizabeth Tanner resettled in Boston where she thrived under Prince Quentin King III. In the early 1960's, a chance encounter and sudden threat from a visiting kindred from New Orleans resulted in the emergence of a new persona, that of The White Queen, a darker and more sadistic version of her that was fueled by the rage and hatred buried deep within her psyche. The White Queen would remain and steer Elizabeth Tanner onward from there on out, emerging when the latter lacked the strength or will to do what was necessary to survive.
Years would pass before new opportunities presented themselves to Elizabeth Tanner and The White Queen. The collapse of the Anarch Free State in 2000 allowed the Camarilla a foothold in Southern California. Elizabeth left Boston for Los Angeles in late 2001 and quickly joined the famed coterie in Hancock Park, the first non-Ventrue member in it's history.
She (and The White Queen) both served the Camarilla and Clan Malkavian obediently over the years until 2020 when a chance encounter with the Malkavian Sveta Serova resulted in the mental re-emergence of Virginia Abernathy for the first time since 1955. The resulting chain of events lead to the false 'Elizabeth Tanner' persona's mental breakdown and the ultimate merging of both persona's: Virginia Abernathy with all of her memories and experience developed over the years as a Malkavian. The White Queen would remain as a separate persona and dark side of the newly emerged Toreador.
Tanner kept the name as a final insult to her long dead rival and embraced her true heritage as a member of Clan Toreador. In the time since, she has risen to the rank of Whip of her clan and assumed the role of Chancellor for the Camarilla of Los Angeles. There are rumors that The White Queen has since merged in to the whole, leaving Virginia/Elizabeth as an amagalm of every shattered persona she has become over the years.
