Tara Kearney

Tara was the prince (former Baron) of San Diego and a former supporter of the Anarchs.

Biography
Tara belonged to a family of settlers in the American West and was forced to bury her entire family as a result of the hardships of life on the frontier. Her sire embraced her near the borders of Texas and trained her to fight against injustice, a task that seemed dull to her. She left her sire, determined to built a family that would not fall victim to the dangers of the West. She claimed her own domain in El Paso, surrounding herself with various neonates. During the Civil War, many of these left, as Tara was against chosing a side and many of them desired. Left alone, Tara began to expand her holdings, but was forced to abandon El Paso as she was unable to cope with changing economy. She went to Dallas, but the local kindred considered her to inexperienced and had her watched. Covertly, she studied finances and amassed herself a fortune. When the second Anarch Revolt began, Tara sensed an opportunity and called her brood together, traveling to San Diego and participating in the following battles. She claimed the city as her domain, a claim that the Anarchs tolerated as long as she didn't demand something of them. When San Diego grew, more and more Kindred settled there, until a gang of Anarchs ousted her, forcing to flee to Oceanside. In the constant infighting that followed, Tara waited until her enemies had weakened themselves enough and returned, forsaking her anarchs ties and pledging loyalty to the Camarilla. Many anarchs consider her even today as a traitor, but Tara was soon faced with other problems, as the Great Leap Outward arrived in her city and Cathayans began to undermine her influence on the mortal population.

In 2004, after the death of Sebastian LaCroix, Tara also assumed the princedom of Los Angeles. Her reign, however, was short and she was assassinate by a Thin-blood, who wanted to make the city a safe haven for his kind.
