Princess
down the darker and darker stairs, where blue is darkened on blueness
even where Persephone goes, just now, from the frosted September
to the sightless realm where darkness is awake upon the dark.

Physical Description
Few have ever seen the ravaged face of the Nosferatu Princess beneath the lace and veils. Layers of Victorian era frills cover the slightly built woman and only her clawed hands are seen.
Personality
Watching, always watching. Listening, always listening. Princess is always in the background, ready to give a word of advice or to prompt the correct etiquette. Her voice is crystal clear and bears a slightly Germanic accent
Story
The Childe of the monstrous Gaston the hunter, Princess was embraced in Bavaria around the turn of 18th century. The Child of an important Nobleman of the Hapsburg family, she was educated and raised to be the wife of a King or at least a Prince. Her skills were honed to run not only a large house, but to aid her future husband in the running of a country. However the serious wasting disease that claimed her life soon after her 15th birthday changed all that.
Brought to America By her sire, in 1846, she served the noted Archon as his seneschal and personal assistant for many years. When Gaston was charged with leading the Camarillas war against the Sabbat in Gotham, she settled into a more stable life for the first time since her death. Since than her organisational skills have served The Cities Primogen well and Montoya and his cohorts came to rely on her for more and more. Princess spent half her time among the myriad sewer folk and half secreted away with Montoya and Ettienne while her sire concentrated on his more militant efforts. When the Gangrel Primogen and his brood were slain in the horror of three years ago, Gaston took the reins of Sheriff and leader of the Anubi Ghouls. Over those years, Princess was to take more and more of the responsibility for the Primogen’s council duties and became the voice of reason and a favourite with the younger Vampires.
The recent and sudden disappearance of Gaston the Hunter has lead to Montoya’s appointing of Princess as Nosferatu Primogen. None except for the Undead girl herself doubt her abilities.
