Sephany was born in 1979, the only child to a single unemployed mother who had lost everything. Her ex-husband had striped her for everything she was worth and they lived in a slum in Texas. The house was abandoned except for the junkies who lived in the basement and allowed Sephany and her mum to live there under condition that they worked to acquire money for their fix as well as themselves. Sephany as a baby somehow managed to avoid the social services and wasnt even born in a clean environment. School was very important for Sephany and she quickly became top of the class but kids would taunt her about her not-so-clean clothes and where she lived. She dropped out at 16 at the threat of the junkies and started working. She worked as a midnight cleaner for a while at the local Wal-Mart for under minimum wage, She was forced to give these wages over to the junkies. As she became older Sephany became sick of this and realised that like this, her life would mean nothing. As a consequence she started bunking off work and since she had no contact number they couldnt get her. The drug-addicts soon found out as their fix was running low. Sephany started hearing whispers of how they were going to deal with it and became scared- still only 19 she woke up one morning to find her mothers dead corpse beside her. They had overdosed the mother in the night. Sephany left the small possessions she had and headed out on her own late that night. Scrounging on the streets what little money she had Sephany knew she had to get away, she got on the next bus to Necropolis, the middle city in Missouri. When she arrived, she started off all right. She had managed to get a grand total of $100 from social services but declined their offer to move her into a hostel. But after the first week her money started to get low, no one would employ her due to how she looked after her childhood. Messy hair and yellowing teeth at 21, Sephany turned to prostitution- living at a different guys house each night only to be chucked out the next morning. Spending her last dollar at Shadows bar on a glass of water she curled up in a booth and started to cry, hating how she couldnt change anything. She would have died undoubtedly, in a week. Suspicious murders were going on across town and she hardly had the streets as a secure living place.
It was then that the devil shined a light her way. Sephany, through her haunting at Shadows gained the attention of Beltaine, the member of a Brujah pack called the Death-Wings. Seeing Sephany as his next potential meal he feigned feelings of love towards her. Sephany, needing this sort of attention that she had always craved but never received jumped right in at the chance that someone- liked her. Beltaine took her to the Hotel and they booked a room for the night. It was as they sat there that Beltaine realised he wouldnt be able to kill this one, and as she started to die he Embraced her. Unfortunately this brought the whole world down on both of them. The Camarilla soon found out that Beltaine had violated their Tradition. Beltaine and Sephany were hunted mercilessly. It was during this get out of the city that they got separated. Sephany remained in the hotel room he had let her until they threw her out, not understanding the thing she had become. Eventually she ended up, half-starved at Shadows and wandered towards the Lake Smithville woods- there she was attacked. The Death-Wings found her body and over the best part of a year they fought Final Death off her. These nights Sephany mostly stays back at their clubhouse waiting on Beltaine and doing what shes told.
Eventually after a few years of neglect and being hunted by the Camarilla this pack of Anarchs was called in on a proposition. All they had to do was to take out the threat to the Camarilla in Carmen City and their name would be clear and Sephanys Embrace illegally would be overlooked. All they had to do was to kill Tael Neotai, head of the Black Phoenix family who resided in the hotel of almost- the same name.
The assassination attempt failed. The clubhouse that had moved to Carmen for the plot to take place was raided unsuspectingly by the Dark Phoenix himself. Sephy did her best to try and get away but her love for Beltaine was shattered right in her face as he was killed by Tael and Sephy was taken back to the hotel in exchange for her being allowed to live. Sephy, convinced that if she went running back to the Prince would solve her problems, tried her hardest to get away. But the immense power was too much. Her place ended up being left in a dark room tied up, with Tael waiting for her humanity to break, for her to realise the bestial nature of the hunger. Sephy went the wrong way, each hunger pang only made her more guilty of what shed done, what shed become. After begging Tael to kill her Sephy was put into torpor while he was on his honeymoon. Returning he woke her up and her humanity had dissolved enough for him to trust letting her go. Only condition, hed keep her safe in return for her servitude. For an Anarch whod lost all, it was hardly a tough price to pay. Shed die either way.
