DESCRIPTION
She's a frumpy-looking old woman. She comes up to about five feet tall, but she always is hunched over and looks shorter. Her greying brown hair is a tangled mop with bits of leaves and twigs stuck in it. She watches the world from a pair of sickly, yellow eyes. Her mouth is full of yellowed and blackened teeth, many broken into sharp points. Her many layers of clothing are generally a muddy-brown and are ragged. She wears a handbag hanging from a shoulder, containing metal bits and bobs. She has a length of something (burlap?) hanging like a cape on her back that has feathers roughly sewn on it of colors ranging from raven-black to hawk-brown to owl-white. She speaks with a definate slovakian accent.

HISTORY

She was born in 1879 in Poland. There she lived a quiet life as a housewife and herbalist. She was a sort of healer for her area, dealing mostly with healing the injured livestock of the local farmers. Her husband was killed defending their land against the germans in World War One.

It was when she was nearing her fifteith birthday, she was taken by a passing witch and inducted into the ranks of the Gangrel vampires. At first, she did not want to believe it. But the job was done, and the witch eventually convinced her to turn away from her mortal self and embrace a new life.

The witch taught her a few of the things she needed to know to survive. Primarily it was how to take in the earth as a bed to hide away from the harming rays of the sun. She was also introduced to the very basics of the art of 'Spoiling'. But her sire departed soon afterward, to leave the childe to depend on herself.

Fend for herself, she did. First living off whatever animals she could find; she grew adept at speaking to them and getting them to do what she wanted. Later, when her appietites grew towards people, she perfected her animalistic abilities towards scavenger birds and pirds of prey. Ravens and Owls were her favorite helpers. World War Two rolled across the landscape. She spent much of the time hiding on the edges of towns. It was then that, clutching her few belongings, she braved a water-crossing to the New World.

She originally landed in New York. But the climate did not suite her. She began wandering southwards. She stopped wandering in Florida. The swamplands gave her ample places to hide, and yet the thriving people did not immediately discount her for her appearance or abilities. During this time, she awakened her sire's blood within her, and became a Vedma witch. She began working on the magics of her blood, eventually producing the effects of Zagovny that she still practices today. She also began trading secrets with the Ordo Dracul; she shared her occult knowledge from the old world, and they helped her develope the power of Spoiling. It soon became apparent that she could help them in other ways, since she often could find things, or make the lives of a rival very discomforting.

But this was not to last. Not long ago, a well-to-do vampire had used his political clout to get her to leave, eventually convincing another gangrel to pass the word to her. She recieved the message and quickly found out her network of friendly people had begun to realign themselves in relation to her. She decided to move far away, in hopes that she could find fresh people to re-establish herself with.

* * *

She ended up in Saint Louis, trying to ply her trade. The local Ordo Dracul initially welcomed her to their ranks. it was in trade for her knowledge of Spoiling with one of them that she learned her Auspex. But not all was to remain well. They wished her to speak their oaths of fealty and meld her to their cause. She refused, and thus was cast out from their gatherings.

A year passed, to the day, when she saw fit to leave the broken shell of St Louis. Much of the kindred who had lived there had fled for one reason or another. Where there are few Kindred, there is no distress for her to feed upon. So she took her owls with her and began to wander again.

* * *

She walked north, to Toronto Canada. There she found some of the people who she met in St Louis. One group was a mixed-bag of Dragons and Invictus, calling themselves "the House, Blue Convolvous". They courted her or she courted them (it's hard to say), and eventually she came to join them in a similar fashion to how she belonged to the Ordo Dracul.

The time eventaully came, where a shift in power put pressure on Luba to leave. This same pressure was applied to the rest of the house, who then decided to move to Rio de Janerio. Luba was late in leaving, mostly because of the long travel involved, and so was able to speak with Exodus.

Exodus, a once-grandmaster of the Dragons and now senior-most Gangrel of the area, decided to go home to Salem. Luba followed.

* * *

She watched as Exodus took up her previous activities within the Dragons. Luba was re-instated to the Ordo. Somewhat immediately Luba's talents and inclination was recognized by the rest of the local Dragons, and she was made their Kogioan. Tis was to replace the void left by the death of the previous keeper of the Dragon's secrets.
