[b][color=546887]Biography:[/color][/b] 

[color=#cccccc]In the early 1800s Spain's colonies in the region now called the Americas began fighting for independence, one by one. Even prior to the spirit of independence reaching Mexico, Spain's hard-pressed navy could not spare ships to bring supplies to the missions, presidios, and pueblos north of San Diego. Thus, in the dozen years that followed, local authorities relaxed restrictions on trading with non-Spanish merchants so that the colony could survive, and Californians became accustomed to contact with sailors, traders, hunters, and trappers from England, France, Russia, and, of course, the United States.

In 1821, Mexico achieved her independence, and word of this event reached Alta California the following year. The colonial policies of the republic were to be quite different from those of the Spanish monarchy. Not only were Californians allowed to trade with foreigners, but foreigners could also now hold land in the province once they had been naturalized and converted to Catholicism. Under Spain, land grants to individuals were few in number, and title to these lands remained in the hands of the crown. Under Mexican rule, however, governors were encouraged to make more grants for individual ranchos, and these grants were to be outright. Most important, the new Mexican republic was determined to move to "secularize" the missions, to remove the natives and the mission property from the control of the Franciscan missionaries.

It was the process of removing the natives and the mission property from the Franciscans that led the Kindred Eva to the remote mission in which Yanci lived. Eva's mortal eyes and ears reported signs of abuse and trauma of many of the women and girls at the mission; that very night Eva appeared at the mission. There she stalked and lurked, eventually finding her way to the singing of a young Yanci in a locked tiny bedroom, creating a night's sky on pieces of scrap with little more than charcoal and shading. The mysterious woman asked Yanci through the door's cast iron covered small window (the only window of any kind for the locked room) why she was locked in. What she had done.

Yanci replied she was born a woman, and pretty, and the Franciscans accused her of sin. The woman asked what sins, and Yanci confessed Satan had created her to tempt the Franciscans. So they locked her away, until they visited her at night, when no one saw. There they "blessed" her. Eva closed the window without a word. Soon after that Yanci began to hear the screaming. When Yanci heard the key entered into the door's keyhole, she quickly stood next to the bed, as ordered when the Franciscans entered. Instead of the cruel monks, it was a beautiful woman resplendent in the kind of clothing Yanci had never seen before. The woman offered Yanci her hand, and though she hesitated, something deep inside told Yanci to take it. She did, and never looked back. 

Yanci was taken to a rancho near the sea, in what would in modern nights be Malibu. There Eva would embrace her, and teach her. Though other Kindred in the area seemed cruel or blunt, there was a true artfulness to Eva, both in demeanor and spirit. Where the beast within seemed to dominate most others Yanci ran into, there was always more to Eva. Through Eva she met Christopher, a child to Yanci, but yet Eva's sire. In Eva the Kid found the mother he never knew, and in Eva Yanci found a friend, a sister. While Christopher toyed with cruel men, Eva focused him on the surrounding area, on what could be. Once Christopher the Kid saw the surrounding land as a blank canvas, inspiration and motivation came. Their work truly then began. 

Over the years Don Sebestian was named Prince, a Camarilla Prince, though as isolated and far as they were...it was Camarilla in name only. His rule was simple, but civil enough. It lasted as long as he held the Kid's favor. When famed Anarch Jeremy MacNeil arrived in Los Angeles, the Kid found a new favorite. In desperation Don Sebestian came to Eva, who immediately asked him to leave. With no ally in Eva, Sebestian turned to force MacNeil out of California by force. His actions did nothing but polarize the Kindred community against him. MacNeil did his best Braveheart impression, and the Anarch Revolution in California was on, secretly supported by Christopher the Kid; picking his new favorite over his old favorite. 

Nearly all would believe Jeremy MacNeil the new Anarch leader of this new "Free State." That was no accident, by then Christopher and Eva had started their newest project after Los Angeles had finally begun to become what they had envisioned. Hollywood, by 1944, was already established...but there the Kid and Eva clashed. Christopher was happy to leave Hollywood at where is tood in 1944. To him, the painting was complete. Eva disagreed. Christopher's departure from Hollywood left a void; a void Eva used Yanci to fill. Yanci became instrumental in forming Hollywood unions for everything from stunt pilots to studio hands. Meanwhile Eva worked with Hollywood to assist in World War II, aware of the Kindred politics at play behind it. 

Once WWII ended, the status quo returned. The Anarchs began enacting their grand plan, all but MacNeil unaware of the true powers of the area. While Yanci and MacNeil became relatively friendly, Eva and MacNeil were icecold: a result of MacNeil slandering Hollywood and it's role in the city. To MacNeil, the city would be better off without "the types" that Hollywood brought. To Eva the Scot was stuck in the past with no vision for the future outside his fanatical drive for Anarch freedom. Eva couldn't relate: she had never, ever, known the real reach and strength of the Camarilla or the Sabbat. Aware of the changing nature of the LA streets, Eva asked Yanci for a favor:

Go undercover, allow Eva to make Yanci's prescence be that of an 11th Generation Brujah Anarch. 

When the Camarilla made a new push into the city behind Sebastian LaCroix. It did not end well for LaCroix, and the fallout created a political tinderbox in the Kindred world. Though the Anarchs would once again regain control, they once again did so simply because Christopher the Kid supported MacNeil, and Eva was too preoccupied with Hollywood to care, so long as Los Angeles itself (her first work of art) wasn't in true danger. Again the status quo returned, and time marched on. [i](The first WoD game on the Guild events.)[/i] 

The Kid became unstable just years later, and publically announced himself to the Kindred world. The move forced Eva public, as she claimed the title of Baron of Los Angeles. While Eva had helped keep the Kid stable, not even she could help him anymore. At this point, Eva realized there was no saving Christopher. It had come to conflict between them. In the Rants that followed the 11th Generation Brujah Anarch Catlin Monroe that seemed to be friends with everyone revealed herself to be the 7th Generation Toreador, Yanci. She spoke on Eva's behalf, explained her task to make sure Eva never lost touch with the Anarchs on the LA streets. That she never lost sight of her city from any ivory tower. 

The voluntary honesty helped, Yanci will tell you. Others will say Yanci's honesty and passion in the Rants won the Anarchs over enough to keep Christopher from dominating them, and turned her into a true Kindred leader. Where many young Anarchs were uneasy about Eva, they at least trusted Yanci not to screw them over to the Camarilla. They all knew she hated the Sabbat, in large part thanks to their religious zeal. Yet none of them knew much Eva, so Yanci told them. Christopher turned to Eva in his crazed paranoia, having lost all touch with reality, accusing relative unknown Henry Locke of being villain and spy. 

Before the larger battle of Christopher and his vs the Kindred who saw Christopher for what he was, the real battle begun. In the basement of a Malibu mansion burnt out from a recent wildfire, Eva finally turned on Christopher with Yanci, and Henry, by her side. The events that followed have never been made clear, or public, but the result was clear: Christopher the Kid was no more. Eva went into torpor, many assuming she diablerized the Kid, though everyone seems to have their own opinion on her motives. In her place Yanci was named Baron of Los Angeles and San Diego, just in time for the widespread fighting to break out. [i](2nd game events.)[/i]

The fighting cost Eva and Yanci dearly: all of their coterie but Gwendalyn Vance met Final Death. After the betrayal of the Anarch Baron of San Diego switching sides to the Camarilla was met with violence so quick, so sudden, other Kindred assume that the Kindred who helped created California had secret allies in San Diego that were playing the newly minted San Diego Prince. Whatever the process, Prince Tara met her final death, and Yanci returned to Los Angeles as the Baron of Los Angeles and San Diego. [/color]
