Cathy Saynesbury is a rank 2 Silent Strider Ragabash from Vancouver. [1]
Biography[]
Cathy was born on the road somewhere in Alberta. Her mother, a Silent Strider, was traveling the continent as an itinerant musician, and took the young Cathy along with her, raising the child entirely on her own. even before the "Garou gene" started to exert itself, young Cathy had caught the traveling bug.
When mood swings and other changes presaged Cathy's Firsting, her mother was overjoyed. She called several other Silent Striders together to help her care for the girl during the process and act as Inceptors for Cathy's Rite of Passage.
As soon as Cathy was through the rite, her mother gave her a choice: travel with her or go off on her own. She made sure Cathy understood that she was free to take either course, and that she didn't have to feel that he was disappointing, insulting or deserting her mother. After much thought, Cathy decided she would travel on her own. To this day, the two keep in contact on a very irregular schedule. Several years go by between meetings.
As well as a love of traveling, Cathy had inherited her mother's talent as a singer and songwriter. She supported herself as a musician as she traveled the continent, eventually arriving in Vancouver in 1983. It was here she met another Garou named Galen Hawes, who quickly realized she would be the prefect person to sit on the Council of Representatives. Although she didn't relish the restrictions it put in her wandering lifestyle, Cathy accepted the position, and has served her tribe very well.
Cathy supports herself by playing in folk and jazz clubs around the city, and has quite a following who appreciate her interesting and sometimes weird songs. She knows a lot of people in the music business, some of whom are influential enough to be classed as contacts. It was on her way to a small jazz club that, while passing the old Expo site, she noticed something was wrong with the area. Even now she still only has suspicions about the site, but she is slowly trying to gain knowledge about what is really going on there. Until she has some hard evidence, however, she won't bring up the subject to the Council.
Appearance[]
In her Homid form, which she almost always wears, Cathy is a woman in her mid-30s, standing about 5'3". She has a broad and open face, framed by long, straight dark hair. Her eyes seem to change color depending on the light, changing from green to hazel to gray tp a pale blue. They sparkle with curiosity and energy. Her features would be classed more as "pretty" than "beautiful". Her constant smile and easy laugh often lead people, on first meeting her, to consider her something of an airhead. On closer inspection, however, her sharp intelligence and intense focus become apparent. She's a good speaker, and an excellent conversationalist. In her Lupus form, she has the slender, long-limbed lines typical of her tribe; her pelt is long, however, making her look something like a saluki.
