Character
I solemnly swear that I accept the responsibility for my own actions.
Hawsie is the twenty-third true successor of the blood line of a powerful enchanter as reckoned by the detailed gemologies of the family. This enchanter took the name of Brunanburh after serving King Æthelstan in the great battle of Brunanburh where the King won a great victory. They were amoung the many groups practicing within Briton and for a time was part of the ill-fated House Diedne. The main line perished with that house (or escaped with it) but a cadet line survived and prospered. When the Verbena Tradition was formed through the efforts and charisma of Nightshade and William Groth the Brunanburh were amoungst the last to join and will certainly be the last to depart; a certain stubbornness persists in the line. Firmly situated within the Garderners of the Tree they carried on their strict search - an inheritance from the wyck they surely draw blood from - for the true incarnation of the grail of Bran the Blessed.
Things were on track for Hawsie. Heir to the sleeper fortune of the family and the secret magical lineage and already awakened at a relatively young age thanks to relentless preparation. The certainly of her path was challenged when she entered an old and supposedly elite boarding school whereas a series of unfortunate events resulting in some allegations of that -somebody- set a fire in the St.Bacchus's School for Girls. But that was really the fault of the vampire ghosts, wasn't it?
