Character Info
Name: Marie-Sixtine St. Vincent
Canon (if applicable): Original
Canon point (if applicable): N/A
Background, etc: Marie is the youngest of seven children born into a wealthy family of type-A overachievers. By 'wealthy', this means 'ridiculous, tabloid, Rothschild wealthy', the kind of family everyone thinks is in the Illuminati, or maybe actually own the Illuminati. For example, the first Daily Mail article Marie ever had written about her was when she was twelve years old, and it was awful. Her father's English family attracts the most of this attention; her mother's side is Nigerian, and while they're still quite prominent in their home country, they're less internationally well-known.
The problem is that while they are not in the Illuminati, exactly, one of Marie's paternal ancestors did make a deal with a demon in order to obtain all their wealth. A thousand years ago, he made a promise, and that promise was one of his descendants...which has added up to mean Marie. While she grew up in incredible luxury, Marie was beset by night terrors (sometimes daytime hallucinations), spates of depression, and insomnia, in which she swore she saw visions of a mysterious and monstrous Pale Man. Her parents consequently over-protected her, robbing her of many necessary coping mechanisms for her emotions. She was alternately incredibly lonely and smothered. Most of her emotional output was channeled into the ballet academy she attended, where she made a few friends and dreamed of making it on her own.
Her family was not super happy, since they preferred their youngest and most fragile member not go into such a high-stress field (that comparatively paid very little), but after some struggle, they allowed her to pursue her dreams. At twenty-four, she's a soloist in San Francisco with a promising future ahead of her, if she can just put her childhood anxieties to bed. And maybe sort out her troubles regarding her relationships, which recently involves a terrible break-up with someone she discovered was interested in her just for her money. She's not nearly as much of a shrinking violet as other people often think, but she is deeply introverted, when off-stage, and sometimes naive.
As far as she knows, her old nightmares were just that: nightmares.

Upon arrival in Chicago, your character will find themselves in Rogers Park on the north side of the city, with an iPhone connected to a network that only seems to allow them to contact a limited number of people. Good luck!
