Amelie

Born of an inauspicious union of an MFA student and a photojournalist guest lecturer who skipped out of town, Amelie Laurent grew up as the mildly unwanted daughter of a working class couple in Hackney Downs. Her mother worked whatever photography gig she could get and her stepfather was a warehouse manager who frequented the pubs and bars. She went to primary school and secondary school in Hackney, and spent a summer refurbishing and repainting graffitied walls for an ASBO charge after being found with drugs.

Her social worker, Sophie Smith, helped her get clean and on a better path. She excelled at secondary school, taking and passing her GSREs by age 17. She studied French and German in her spare time, and was a member of her secondary school's debate club. Following that, she kind of disappeared from normal view.

What happened was that Amelie went through her First Change during a brief assault at a park. She contacted Sophie, who happened to be Kinfolk and brought her mate; together, the two of them brought Amelie to the Sept of the Glass Towers, where she lived for roughly two years while learning about her nature as Garou. Following her Rite of Passage, she returned to the Sept of the Glass Towers with her cub pack – now cliath pack – and the group took on Stag as their patron. They left for France, chasing down a Black Spiral Dancer pack that was rumored to be operating within Paris as human traffickers.

Amelie returned alone, a little more haunted than she was when she left.

Local (All): Amelie was born at St Leonard's Hospital and grew up in Hackney Downs. She was pretty wild in her youth, ended up serving an ASBO when she was in her early teens when she was also heavily involved in party culture. She managed to get on the straight-and-narrow and, except for a year and a half stint in France, has lived in London her whole life.

Sept of the Glass Towers (Garou): Amelie was a cub here, was given her Rite of Passage quest here, and remains here. She mentored under Pippin "Walks-Narrow-Paths" Walker when she was a cub.

Bacchus Dancers (Garou): Amelie was part of a pack of Cliaths called the Bacchus Dancers, packed under Stag. They went on some crusade or another, relocating just outside of Paris for about a year and a half. Amelie is the only one who returned.

Kinfolk (all): Amelie has two kinfolk who spend a decent amount of time with her. One is her former social worker, Sophie Smith, who still works as a municipal social worker and has guided many a wayward child to a better and more constructive life. The other is Jeremiah Ricklesworth who works as a paralegal for a local law firm specializing in defense law.
