[*] In an attempt to mask the smell of cigarettes often clinging to her clothes, Stef will wear a sweet, fruity perfume most of the time. Those supernatural entities with sharp noses will not be fooled, though the parfum is a pleasant one to smell.
[*] Her taste in clothes have always been very feminine, enjoying dresses, skirts, and bright or pastel colours. While she won't allow her current condition to turn her into a stereotype, Stef does wear more dark colours these days in order not to stand out too much. 
[*] With vampirism halting any further development of her body, Stef has taken to dressing more maturely to counteract her short stature and baby face. Make-up, less childish clothing and heeled shoes are common items of clothing for her.

Stef is currently being paid under the table by Nicodem for work at The Slye Fox. Whether it's washing dishes, cleaning workstations or helping prep food, Stef is kept out of the way in the kitchen, and she appreciates it that way.[/INDENT]

After meeting Nicodem, Stef gained entry into The Collective. She understands the membership is more out of pity and learning control than anything else, but she's not complaining. Stef will take all the help she can get.[/INDENT]

Despite the many changes that have undergone Stef's body and mind, she was very pleased to discover that some things stayed the same. For one, her natural [color=#3379b9][b]creativity[/b][/color]. With a wild imagination and tendency to day-dream, Stef works out her creative mind by way of art. Having always been a budding artist from the day she could hold and scribble with crayons, she spends whatever spare change she has (after household and clothes) on art supplies. Although she's more practised in watercolours than anything else, she's a fan of the bold, vibrant colours often found in chalk, oil pastels and oil paints. Painting has always been a nice distraction for her, though these days it's more necessary than usual. Nightmares of the attack and her own monstrous acts often plague her sleep, and so she often looking to her sketchpad or easel in an attempt to distract herself from thinking about it. However it leaves her tired, and with an already hot temper, she tends to be [color=#3379b9][b]irritable[/b][/color] throughout the day, snapping at people when they bother her. Other days, she'll just be [color=#3379b9][b]quiet[/b][/color], too anxious or just too exhausted to speak to many people. Despite this, Stef does have good days where she'll be pleasant to speak to, and her [color=#3379b9][b]childishness[/b][/color] begins to show.

Amongst her need to both look older and seem more adult, Stef attempts to act mature at most times in her day-to-day activities. However, her natural childish [color=#3379b9][b]playfulness[/b][/color] always seems to shine through via immature pranks and jokes, giggling scandalously at indecent or black humour, and revelling in the most teenage behaviour of breaking the rules of society, having the occasional temper tantrum, and holing up in one of her hiding places to avoid others and making sure nobody sees her [color=#3379b9][b]vulnerability[/b][/color].[/INDENT]

The life of Stefani - or Margot, as she was known - was quite unassuming up until her transition into vampirehood. Belonging to a modest home in Edgetoun, she didn't really do much to stand out amongst other girls in her neighbourhood. This mundane life suited her just fine, with the most exciting prospects of her life involving travelling to Scotland to spend some quality family time with her Aunt Christiana, Uncle Will, and brood of cousins. Being an only child, it was amazing for her to be thrown into the hectic life of her extended family every summer. Four cousins of varying age and gender made for plenty of entertainment, even in the isolated town they lived in - but the summer of 2018 was more exciting for Margot than usual. Thanks to a generous bonus in her Aunt's wage packet, the entire family was treated to a trip to Europe. While her parents couldn't get the time off, Margot was more than welcome to go along anyway, only happy to both spend more time with her cousins, and of course, get to bask in the sun and ancient wonders of Greece. For the most part, it was a glorious holiday for the family. But as the second week came around, this peace was shattered.

Walking down the cramped, darkened streets to get to various destinations never cowed the Whitewood's, even in the darkness of late evening. They believed in safety in numbers, but as they soon found out, even the largest of human company meant nothing against a creature of the night. The attack was over quite quickly, from what Margot could remember. Julianne was the first to be jumped, her shrieks prompting an attempted rescue from her twin, only for Maria to be struck down too. Will and Christiana told the remaining children to scatter while they ran to the aid of their daughters, but Margot didn't make it very far before the screams behind her died out. After a brief flash of pain, Margot died too. 

It didn't take long after waking up in the dead of night to realise several things in quick succession: One, her family was dead. Their corpses were either strewn across the street with hers, or were missing completely. Two, her attacker had not been human. With the strength and speed required to take down eight people in seconds, they had to have been something otherwordly. Three: Her attacker was a vampire. How did she know this? Because now she was one as well. Tanned skin now pallid and cold, dull teeth now sharp enough to tear flesh like butter, and a whole new world that was once silence now unleashed on all five of her senses. With these realisations, Margot came to a decision. She couldn't go to the authorities, not like this. By dawn's first light she had retreated back to the family hotel room, cleaning herself up and scavenging whatever money she could find. By the next evening, she had made her way to the nearest dock, deciding that a boat would be easier to sneak onto than a plane. She had to get back to London somehow, without avoiding questions. Her parents would understand, and they'd keep her in hiding, for sure. 

As she stumbled across a lone stowaway, hoping to get to London like her, Margot discovered the news from him. Not all of her family had died. He recounted the story that the three youngest cousins had fled to safety, and Julianne was revived at the scene once police had been notified. However, her Uncle was still dead, and four were classed as missing - her aunt, the two eldest cousins, and Margot. It was wonderful news to hear some of her family had escaped her fate, but she couldn't risk going to the authorities yet, not with what she was. She instead remained with the stowaway, who promised he'd help her get to London as it was her first time "catching a ride", as he called it. Finding a cargo ship bound for Britain, the pair snuck into the cramped lower decks, and began their ten day journey. It seemed like it would be easy, but as the days ticked by, a gnawing hunger grew in Margot's stomach. No amount of food could sate it, and she found herself laying awake at night, trying to ignore the thumping heartbeat of the man who helped her. By day four it became too much to bare. Day ten the cargo ship arrived at it's destination, Margot fleeing the ship before it docked, and leaving behind the torn apart corpse of the stowaway.

She had hoped to slip away in the darkness and make her way home, but as she fled through London and neared the familiar boroughs of Edgetoun, she realised she was being followed. Not by humans, but by things like her. Her mind was a mess of panic and fear, and as she found herself blocked off in an alleyway, wondered if now she was truly going to die. When the even scarier Russian guy showed up, she was ready to meet her maker, only for him to tell the other two to scram and actually being nice to her. Before she knew it she'd been given clean clothes, a place to work, an introduction to a collection of vampires who could help her out, and even a comfy sofa for her to sleep on until she got on her own feet by Nicodem. Things definitely back to look up after this chance encounter with the ancient vampire - she met her "guardian angel" Aoife who welcomed her into her home so she didn't have to sofa-surf all the time, and a few months after that she discovered in the news that her parents had adopted the now orphaned cousins in her family and moved away to America for a fresh start. She could begin to shake off the remnants of her old shattered life, and even took up a new name - Stefani - in order to move on. All that's left now is to remake herself, starting with controlling her bloodlust. After that, maybe finding out who exactly did this to her, and what their motives were in murdering a child.

After Nicodem kindly let her have a job here, Stef spends quite a lot of time working in the kitchens. It's a safe, human-free place for her to relax, keep her mind occupied, and even earn some money to help out at home. She also likes to hang around in the front too, She also likes to hang around in the front too, when the bar is shut or just opening. It's kinda fun, being amongst all different kinds of creatures.

[b]Edgetoun Museum of Art[/b]
When not painting herself, Stef likes to browse other people's art, either to admire and or examine the work to see if they've used an interesting technique that she'd like to try out as well. There are also variants of art styles found at the local museum, and after having spent so much time on landscapes, Stef is looking to branch out and looks for inspiration.

[b]Prospect Park[/b]
It's generally abandoned, and is a nice place for to walk or run when she has pent up energy or just wants some time to herself without risking the harm of anyone. While she's getting better, slowly but surely, at controlling her bloodlust, sometimes Stef just needs some fresh air without holding herself back around others.
