Biography[]

I know you have this misconception that all Anarchs are mindless thugs. I’m here to convince you otherwise.

Mortal Days[]

Anita Wainwright has been fighting The Man since the 1950s, when she was a student at the University of Illinois. She participated in several Freedom Rides with mixed-race groups on public buses to Alabama, challenging the enforcement of illegal bus segregation after Morgan v. Virginia.

Anita joined the Diggers in New York City and ran a Free Store in Chicago while writing for the underground newspaper Chicago Seed. Throughout her young adult life, she flitted from cause to cause, passionately believing in revolution through communal deeds — that helping the common man would lead to the overthrow of the rich and powerful.

During her time as a reporter for The Seed, Anita met a Black Panther named Theodore Dooley. They quickly developed an intimate relationship, which was the final straw for her conservative parents. After being disowned for refusing to end the relationship, Anita threw herself into activism, spurred on by Dooley's subtle encouragement.

Anita helped organize the Vietnam War protests at the Chicago Democratic National Convention in 1968. Police broke up the protests violently, and Anita lost sight of Dooley before being beaten by an officer.

After recovering, she searched for Dooley and found him days later in the basement of a Black Panther headquarters, drinking the blood of the cop who had assaulted her. Initially horrified, Anita quickly came to see the act as both literal and metaphorical vengeance. Over the next few nights, she convinced Dooley to Embrace her.

Kindred Nights[]

Initially, Anita used her newfound Kindred strength to focus on human causes. However, as the 1970s passed, she shifted her attention to reforming Kindred society. Her passion for change and thirst for revenge remained as strong as ever. She established connections with Anarchs across the country, often saying, “Think locally, act globally.” She spent nights making phone calls, writing letters, and traveling to meet potential allies.

By the 1990s, Camarilla control over Chicago was stronger than ever. Anita considered moving to the Anarch Free States in California but was stopped by the Lupine attacks that decimated the local Kindred population. She barely escaped with her life, but many of her friends, including Dooley, were not so fortunate. This tragedy intensified her desire for revenge, and she vowed to destroy the Lupines responsible.

Anita stayed in Chicago, carefully plotting her next steps. Over the years, she amassed information about the Lupines and expanded her network of contacts. She worked with Anarchs, independents, and even Camarilla members, sharing information to further her cause.

It was Anita who first received rumors about the Lasombra coming to Chicago. She attempted to trade this information with her Camarilla contacts in exchange for information on the Lupines, but by the time they trusted her, the Prince publicly announced the Lasombra delegates' arrival. Despite this failure, her contacts recognized the quality of her information network.

Anita now works with Marc Levesque, who helps maintain her network while pursuing his own revenge against the Kindred of Chicago.

Appearence[]

Anita is a Caucasian female of moderate size. She stands 5’8” tall, and weighs 125 pounds. She has auburn hair she often dyes or shaves down, and dresses casually in modern styles, although she tends toward a “retro” look that seems to cycle back into fashion from time to time.  She has a carefully cultivated appearance. Her dress, demeanor, and speech patterns are calibrated to give off the vibe of “young, brash Brujah,” but she knows what she’s doing. She can dial her revolutionary rhetoric up or down at a moment’s notice to suit her audience. 

Anita uses the identity of Patricia Dooley as her Mask, the widow of the deceased Theodore Dooley. Patricia is a private woman who occasionally handles charity work at the city’s children’s centers, her standoffish behavior enough to prevent most deep questions.

Roleplaying Hints: You follow the old maxim: "Only speak when you have something to say." While generally quiet, you can speak for hours about a subject that concerns you.

Haven: An abandoned store in South Chicago, which used to be her free store.

Secrets: B

Influence: Anita controls very little in Chicago but has excellent connections with anarchs in other cities. She has even developed a link with the Sabbat of New York. If anyone in Chicago wishes to get in contact with the national network of Brujah and anarchs, it must be done through her. If she deems someone deserving, Anita can provide that person with a valuable list of contacts in almost every major city in North America. This list would be highly prized by certain Camarilla figures who seek to end the Anarch Movement. Additionally, Anita can arrange transportation to the West Coast, the anarch capital of the world. However, she only shares such resources with individuals she deeply trusts and respects.
