Background:

                    Emilie Leila ''Nefertari'' Durand was the daughter of a french archeologist and an egyptian woman (her surname was given by her father, at her birth: ''The Beautiful has come''). Her father always took her to the archeological sites he was searching, with his friends from the Louvre Museum. But the last site was in truth a battleground between Followers of Set and Assamites. Her father was murdered, and soon after, she went back to her mother's family.

The family never likes the idea of the wedding between a non-muslim man and one of their women, but the mistake have been made, and a daughter have been conceived. The mother was soon married once more with a man who soon became too interested in Emilie, which was called by now by her second name: Leila. Her mother soon saw this growing ''interest'' and threatened her husband. He simply killed her.

Few years after, Emilie/Leila discovered that her incestuous father had killed her mother, and was planning to kill her, too, as she was in age of being married, and as the father couldn't risk her to talk about the guilty relation they had.

Emilie fled in the night, and thought about living on their own. But in a fast-growing islamic integrist country, her only option was to be married, and as she wasn't pure anymore...

The pale man who took her with her simply used her as his sexual slave, and as prostitute for his gouvernment customers. But even before she tried to escape, the pale man was killed by a black panther, who was looking Emilie with murderous hatred. But instead of killing her, the panther fled.

A strange looking man, bald and dark skinned entered then the room where Emillie was packing what she could take with her in her flight.

Looking at her, smelling her, he told her she was Kinfolk, and that was surprising as she was visibly mixed-blood. She didn't understood what he was saying, and when he approached, she defended with a little blade she had scavenged. Cutting the dark man deeply in the arm, she was surprised to see no Blood. He called her a wild she-cat, and with a smile, and faster she could imagine, he went behind her and incapacited her.

He she awoke, she found herself on stone floor, much like the floors of the temples she used to visit with her father. People were around her, some with ancient-egyptian clerical garb, others wearing clothes of different styles and culture. She speak french, she heard one say. They asked her if she knew about hieroglyphs, and she answered yes. They asked her what she knew about ancient egyptians, and how she knew it. She answered her father had told her a lot about Egyptians, but she would not tell it to them unless they told her where she was, and who they were.

One, with the white linen robe, told her they were the Basthemet. ''The Daughters of Bast?'' answered Emilie in her imperfect Ancient Egyptian. ''The Handmaiden of Bast'', corrected the woman in linen, smiling at knowing this young woman knew some of the Ancient Egyptian. Then they explained all. How they were the children of Gods, how Set and Osiris fought, and how Set and Horus reached a tentative truce and how under this truce, the Two-Lands prospered, and how, by the Treason of Nefertiti, the Gods of Egypt were destroyed by the Childer of Set. The Gods had Childer, too, and some could still be brought back from the Kingdom of the Dead. Bast was one of those.

Then, one of them asked her if she wanted to join them, in total equality, with no difference of sex or race. This philosophy was totally different from the behaviour she saw in the young of today's Egypt, bred in islamism and poverty. She said yes.

Then she saw the dark skined man. He told her she was to become Felys, the Basthemet Childer. And that she was to go to France, and met with a Gangrel, a Vampire with bestial abilities not so different from the Felys'. This Gangrel, called Diane, could, perhaps, help them. She was to meet her, and reach an alliance pact with her, against the Followers of Set who would resume their attacks should the Childer of Bast be discovered once more.

The Embrace was exstasy, and by joining the Felys, her viewpoint of life changed. Others had profited of her. Now she would be her own master, and make profit of her unlife as she could. She learnt that the pale man who had used her as a prostitute was a Follower of Set. And those who killed her father were Assamite. Since then, she hates them and do what she can to weaken any Kindred of those Clans.

She went to France, and while she searched for the fabled Gangrel, she learnt to use her powers, and learnt to defend herself in the city grounds. She found the Gangrel in Lyon, and fought with them for some time. Then she discovered by chance a man from Paris who was dying from car accident. On a whim, she decided to save him and make him her Childe. Thus, Fred was Embraced.

Her arrival in Paris was well remarked, as she discovered a man she had seen years before in Egypt. The arab man was in truth an Assamite, and was clearly stalking someone. She followed him in a cemetary when she was attacked by surprise. The Assamite fought well, and his Quietus Discipline was deadly indeed. Just when the Assamite was to use his blade to remove Emilie's head, she trust her clawed feet into his belly and thus incapacited him.

The Assamite was trying to heal Aggravated Damage with the little blood that remained in his system, and Emilie was awakening from the effects of Quietus. Then arrived her Childe, Fred, with two other Kindred, one of them a beautiful but feral-looking woman with white-blond hair and ice-blue eyes. The Assamite was staked, and Emilie was healed with the powerful Vitae of Diane, the Lady of the Gangrel.

She had fought well, Diane told her, and by stalking the Assamite, she had protected her own Childe, Marianne, who was, by evidence, to be killed by the staked Assamite. The interrogation of the Assamite gave no results, but Diane's opinion on Emilie had won her and her Childe the right to stay within the Gangrel Clan. since this time, the two are talking about the Alliance, and how protect Gaia from the Wyrm and its servants, the Tremere, Assamite and Followers of Set.

Destiny

                    Emilie Leila will be the link between the Gangrel and the survivors of the first Childer of Set.

She will be behind the Alliance between them and the Clan Gangrel, for the destruction of the source of Corruption of Paris, and ultimately, of quest for the destruction of Set himself.

Appearance:

Age:	42	Hair:	Black	Height:	1m59
Apparent Age:	17	Eyes:	green-brown	Weight:	50Kg
Date of Birth:	1963	Race:	Caucasian (mixed French/Egyptian origin)	Sex:	Female
RIP:	1980	Nationality:	None	Esprit:

                    Emilie is a young girl about to become a woman, and with the eyes of someone who had lived much, and suffered much more. But like the felines she learned to love, she accept her lot, lives her life, making profit of every moment. So her beautiful middle-eastern features, green-brown eyes and taned skin that only slightly paled with the Embrace are lightened by her generous smile and her seductive stare.

She is beautiful, wearing the tight clothing that pleases her most: Torn light-blue jeans, black tight bodies, and egyptian-inspired steel jewelery. She learns to master the Katana, as she feel she will need a weapon against the Assamite, her forever enemy, so she is never found without it far from her.

Role Playing:

                    She smiles a lot, a mysterious, seductive smile. Her voice is soft and pleasant, and she likes to play. Any game will interest her. Mental games, but physical too. She likes athletics, as well as chinese chess and Reversi/Othello. Most of all, she likes riddles

But another side of her is less pleasant. Like the Gangrel from which her Bloodline spawned, she is a hunter. A deadly, feline hunter who likes, too, to play with her prey. And this is rarely pleasant for the poor creature becoming her mouse...

Notes:

                    Emilie is a Felys, and being such, her Bloodline Weakness is to have a malus of +2 on the difficulty of any Rötschrek Roll.

She created a Childe on her way to Paris. His name is Fred.

Actual Aim:

                    To complete the Alliance, and make herself and her Bloodline accepted by the parisian Gangrel. Defending her parent Clan from the Setites, the Tremere and the Assamite.

Rumours:

• She is not Gangrel (True) but Caitiff (False).
• She is Sabbat (False).
