Storytelling Hints

Bianca is very well-spoken and knowledgeable about the city. She can be a bit of a bore to those not interested in endless tales of San Francisco history, but can be fascinating to those who are. While she generally comes off as a bit of an academic, always with her nose buried in a book and somewhat retiring, she has a fierce temper. Specifically, she bears a deep and abiding anger at the MacLellans, as well as an almost paralyzing fear of the day they’ll come and kill the rest of the pack. She also resents the Silver Kings and their narrow view of the city, as well as their unwillingness to assist the pack against the Pure. Bianca has a secret crush on Jack which she’s managed to keep well concealed and is respectful of her mother, whom she deeply loves.

Background

Bianca was raised by her mother after her father was killed by the MacLellans. She was submersed in the stories of San Francisco told her by her grandmother and grew up with a deep love of the city and what it represented. It was dreams of the Barbary Coast and its spirits that alerted her mother of her imminent Change while she was at college. She finished her studies after taking a year off to come to terms with her new life, not difficult given her mother’s painstaking efforts to prepare her for it. She has served as the pack’s lorekeeper since the death of her grandmother and strives to serve her memory well. She was briefly married but got a divorce after two traumatic miscarriages and hasn’t dated since. She spends most of the time she isn’t attending to pack business working on various committees, working to preserve its history and protect its unique persona.
