 This didn't just attract wraiths. Malkavians flocked to her, and she welcomed them. She needed both patients and staff for her fantasy, although it is unclear at times who is which. Each night, they play out the same scenes, a twisted game of analysis and torture. These volunteers, and even the morbidly curious and disturbed who have braved a visit, are usually safe from more permanent therapy, but that does not hold true of involuntarily committed guests. The Giovanni, and even the Tremere, have called upon her services to 'cure' those who don't see situations the same way they do. Because of this, and because those who aren't committed are usually left unmolested, she and her coterie have been afforded a surprising amount of protection.

+==== Aisha della Passaglia ====
+{{aisha.jpg?200}}
+**Sire:** Paola della Passaglia (Giovanni Revenant Bloodline)
+**Clan/Bloodline:** Caitiff
+**Gen:** 9th
+**Allegiance:** Giovanni / Lydia Miliner (Regnant)
+**Age:** 61 | Ghouled: 1980 | Embraced: 2010
+**Apparent Age:** 20
+**Hair color:** Black/Green underlayer
+**Eye color:** Amber
+**Merits:** Coldly Logical, Concentration, Benevolent Domitor, Multilingual, Medium (Nightmares only), Revenant Disciplines (Auspex, Necromancy, Fortitude)
+**Flaws:** Tic/Twitch (Smoking), Nightmares, Seizures
+**Road/Path:** Humanity
+**Background:** In Life: Daughter of Asian and Italian immigrants, Aisha's family came from a line of witches that caught the interest of the Della Passaglia family in the 15th century as they began setting up operations all over East Asia. Primarily used as ghouls, they eventually moved back to the United States to pursue family interests, and so Aisha was born in the Americas at the cusp of the information age.
+She became fascinated with writing and investigative journalism, using everything at her disposal to learn more about the world. Early on this led to her contributing to a few media pieces for the family, highlighting their generous charity contributions and fund raising efforts. Her intuition however, told her that something was very wrong. Stories didn’t add up. Some of the charities were just shell corporations that funneled the money to other corporations of dubious origin. If the family was in the business of money laundering, what other secrets might they be hiding?
+Her aptitude in discovering the truth led her down the dark path of her family's secrets and those of the Giovanni. Eventually she dug too deep for her own good and was given an ultimatum: Become a ghoul and study necromancy, with embrace in the cards if she excelled, or sink to the bottom of the ocean with brand new cinderblock shoes.
+It wasn't much of a choice, so she turned her talents to investigative work for the family while struggling with the utter addiction that was vitae. She was given to the Milliners as an assistant in all their affairs for three decades, and was eventually given a proxy kiss by a relative of the Della Passaglia family, infamous among the top minds of the family for breeding ghouls into highly observant revenants.

+In Death: Being a gifted student with a love for problem solving and the three decades she had to study necromancy as a ghoul couldn’t prepare her for the cruel twists fate had in store. The embrace didn’t go as planned. She was reborn as a Caitiff, and deemed an unfortunate disappointment by the Giovanni family, despite the protests of her sire who knew how talented Aisha was. After a short time under Paola’s tutelage, they shipped her off to New York to assist Rolando Giovanni, who saw fit to bind her into Lydia’s care.
+Despite being a Caitiff and treated poorly by other members of the extended Giovanni family, there are some that recognize her unique talent and may want to use her as their own tool to reshape their personal fortunes. Even a Caitiff of low generation could be very powerful, and Aisha was lucky enough to be given the proxy kiss by an eighth generation member responsible for overseeing one of the eastern revenant families.
+Aisha has no love for her extended family save Lydia and her sire, Paola; most are disgusting brutes with their heads stuck so far up their asses they turn a blind eye to all kinds of horrible crimes committed by their proxy kin. However, some treat her kindly, and they did teach her that there was more to the universe than what she could see in front of her. A whole reality that almost no one could perceive, filled with danger, excitement, and the forgotten knowledge of their ancestors. A place that faith alone failed to reach, but when combined with magic could open the threshold. For that gift, she is obligated to do as they wish.
+Aisha suffers from a unique condition among kindred since her embrace. The grand mal seizures she occasionally experienced as a mortal became much worse. But there is a second far more terrifying change. Every night before she awakes, she is locked in terrible nightmares without fail. In these nightmares spirits and wraiths show her many disturbing things. Sometimes she sees flashes of their past, their present, or is herself hunted in an inescapable labyrinth by creatures that defy description.
+As part of her personal studies, she is currently in search of an artifact rumored to be somewhere in New York that would let her see effortlessly into the Shadowlands, and perhaps more...

 From then on Zurine was mostly left alone, except for rare visits by her sire to impart strange knowledge, little of it relating to her place in the world, the masquerade, or other kindred. Once she was dragged before Elysium in Seattle and found worthy enough to live outside the city. Those brief visits from her sire were filled with nothing but rebuke, pain, and disappointment. Then the mysterious woman would be gone, not to be seen for years.
-After a decade of growing tired with her sire's bullshit Zurine left, and has been searching for a place to call home. First she went to Los Angeles by herself, and now New York. But this time she has friends and for now a home wherever her small pack leader Chloe goes.
