“ | You wanna know what my problem is? Alright, I'll tell you what my problem is, you ready? You are my goddamn problem! Anyone who would lay it down for some cape in an ivory tower deserves what they get! ―Damsel in Bloodlines 1 | ” |
Damsel is a character in Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. She is a Brujah vampire, and member of the Anarch Movement, based in Downtown L.A.
Background
Early life
Not much is known about her past. All that is known is that she has a deep seated hatred for Sebastian LaCroix and his sect.
Events of Bloodlines
Damsel is present at the protagonist's "welcome" to Kindred society and the execution of their sire, sat with her fellow Anarchs Nines Rodriguez and Skelter. Afterwards, she is seen talking to fellow Anarch Ash Rivers.
Events of Bloodlines 2
Damsel spent the last decade establishing the Anarch Free State in California before moving to Seattle to increase the Anarch influence in the Pacific Northwest.
Personality and Traits
Damsel is aggressive and passionate, both trademark Brujah traits. She can come across as grating to others, but she is well respected by some of her fellow Anarchs. Her passion comes across in her hatred for the Camarilla and her faith in Anarch values. She refers to the Camarilla elders with the term "cape," like other Anarchs do. She is not above respecting and admiring other people, but only after they prove themselves worthy.
