[b]History Types:[/b]
[b]Positive:[/b] [i]Secret Organization:[/i] How you gained access to the organization is not so important than the fact that you did. Through it, you have more familiarity with the occult and the dark than you would otherwise.
[b]Negative:[/b] [i]Sickly Childhood:[/i] When you were far younger than you are now, you were constantly bedridden, and ill. You were unable to work your body in any way for very long, and for some time you were thought to die. You didn’t.

[b]Biography:[/b] Florence was born into a moderately wealthy French family, which was rather lucky for her. She was rather sickly as a child, so much so that multiple times doctors said she would likely be dead soon, yet she lived on somehow. This bedridden life left her with only books and school work (provided by a private tutor, as her parents felt that she was incapable of withstanding the rigors of a traditional school) to keep her company, which in turn led to her having no friends and a very reclusive personality. By the time she was in her middle teen years and no longer fell sick every few months, the various illnesses had taken a very visible toll on her: she was rather thin, her hair had turned prematurely grey (though she liked to call it silver), she had lost some hearing in her left ear, the sclera of her left eye was permanently reddened (though luckily without any noticeable loss of vision), she heard strange voices (though she wisely kept quiet about this), and she had a variety of scars from falls and accidents related to her general physical weakness. Florence continued with her private tutoring until she was deemed ready for higher education at the age of sixteen (as her tutor said, all that time spent doing nothing other than reading paid off in the end), and her parents were rather happy to pay for it to get her out in the world for once in her life.

A couple years later, after Florence had taken up an interest in the occult, she was approached by a man who shared that same interest. A little while later (after they had started seeing each other romantically, though it didn't last long) she was invited to a gathering of like-minded people. They called themselves La Ligue des Mystères Occultes, though most often just La Ligue for the extra air of mystery. Many of the people present in the group seemed to think that Florence's sick childhood and subsequent physical changes were the result of occult forces trying to contact her. When she opened up about hearing voices telling her all sorts of strange things they saw their suspicions as being confirmed and suggested all sorts of things to deal with them, varying from ways to banish them to ways to make a pact with them. Though the concept of communicating with these mysterious voices both thrilled and frightened her, she chose to go ahead with it. She simply couldn't fathom living without the voices, so banishing them was not an option.
 
The others of La Ligue had wanted to aid her with her efforts to communicate with the voices, but she ended up doing it in private solitude. It took many days and many attempts, but as it turned out communication was possible and some of the dark forces were amenable to making a pact with her. Florence had used a variety of items and methods to try to make this contact, but in the end the object that seemed to draw their attention was a small piece of silver metal about the size of a ring that had been made in the form of a Moebius strip, which she had commissioned from a jeweler a year prior simply because she liked the design. She took to wearing the object on a silver chain necklace thereafter, partly because it felt to her like that was her link to the supernatural forces she now called her ally and partly because she had originally intended for it to be a piece of jewelry anyway.

When she was twenty, Florence set out to travel around the world and learn more of the occult. La Ligue was a great starting point, and a decent amount of what they said did not meet with contradictions from her new friends in her head, but even the most believing members couldn't begin to grasp the magnitude of the threat posed by the dire warnings of the Old Ones waking. To be fair, Flornce couldn't really grasp it herself either, but none of the others took it seriously and so she set out with two vague goals in mind: to learn more, and to stop the threat from coming to pass. The dark voices provided some guidance, but mostly she wandered around Europe visiting various libraries and book stores and talking to any occult-minded folks she could find. Eventually she made her way to England, where her interest in disturbing subjects was noted and reported to the proper authorities. The proper authorities approached her and offered money, information, and a chance to save the world from the occult dangers she feared (though they very easily could have learned about this being her goal and used it as leverage just to get her on board), to which she agreed and found herself working for the British Crown.
