RP Hooks
Danse Macabre - Aisling is a Kindred, a fact she does her level best to never expose.
Masquerade Master - She eats food, has a glisten in her eye, breathes at all the right times, and even does that thing where her body twitches ever so slightly as her heart beats in her chest. Maybe she's not a vampire at all...
Art - Aisling is the curator of a moderately sized, exclusive art gallery in Bloomsbury, though her name isn't bandied about in the high halls of art she does have an exceptionally modest level of influence in the area.
Event Coordination - Are you wanting to host an event but don't have the time to hire the caterer, organise the furnishings, chastise the decorators, and meticulously hand-craft the invitations? Aisling might be your girl.
High Society - Lower-high society, but it still counts!
Sire - We keep in semi-regular contact, though he has his many fingers in as many pies as he can manage. The less I know of his affairs the less I shall have to roll my eyes. <3
