Description

MORTAL
Sloan is a rather plain young woman in her early 20's. Thin, pale and only a little more than 5 feet tall her only striking feature is her dark wavy auburn hair. Her eyes are pale gray except just around the pupil where they are a yellowish brown. She is dressed in a practical pair of tan khakis and a white blouse. Her black harness boots are well worn but neat. A small flashlight hangs from a brass ring on her belt. The only jewelry she wears is a silver pentagram with a peridot gem at its heart.

FAE
In the light of the Dreaming Sloan becomes thinner and paler. Her auburn waves become darker; the color of dried blood. Her eyes become dark and weary. She wears old-fashioned clothing. A dark green jacket with sleeves that are big and puffy at the shoulder and become tight around her slim forearms and a large white lace collar. This is worn over a white vest and a high-necked blouse. Her waist seems impossibly narrow, accentuated by the small bustle of the long green skirt. At her neck she wears a brooch. It is a simple flower carved from black onyx with a small pearl at the center.

CONCEPT
A pre-Chrysalis sluagh who has seen ghosts all of her life. A skilled observer of life who captures its wonder on film. A skilled photographer on the verge of international fame. Her future seems so bright, who knows what will happen when she chrysalizes.

YOUTH
Barbara was a shy child, preferring books to people. When she was about 5 years old her father let her snap some pictures with his camera. Barbara was hooked. With a camera she had a purpose. She had a skill that people admired. The camera also separates her for people. Photographers are outsiders looking in and most people don't care. A photographer can flatter their subjects, fed the vanity of a pretty face or capture moments that are too quickly lost. Barbara learned to hide behind the lens of her camera. As she grew older her father set up a darkroom for her. Barbara's skills as a visual artist grew, took flight, but her social life became non-existent. She is never without a camera. Barbara has Scotomaphobia (a fear of blindness) because her entire existence is defined by how she sees the world. She even has nightmare in which she is blind.

JOB
Barbara is currently working as a freelance photographer/artist. Her cousin Moyra, an art agent, has been successful in selling Barbara's work.

GHOSTS
Barbara has always been sensitive to ghosts. In fact it is something she has learned to live with quietly. As a child most people did not believe her. Barbara and the ghosts of Edinburgh have coexisted together, neither interfering or bothering the other. Fortunately or unfortunately that has changed. Last May Barbara did a photoshoot for a story on Wicca. She was impressed by the group, enough to join them. She has learned the basics of modern witchcraft, casting circles and calling quarters mostly. During the coven's Halloween ritual, Barbara was asked to call the western quarter. Everyone said it was their best Halloween yet. Barbara on the other had was left with the feeling that life was never going to be the same. And it hasn't been, apparently the local ghosts who she had been seeing all of her life have taken a new interest in her. The increased attention from the ghosts has actually caused her to travel, first to Kilkenny, then London and now Paris.

WHEN BARBARA MEET AN ESHU
Barbara loved Scottish dancing, she never passes up an opportunity to attend a ceilidh. One day she was at a ceilidh, and was drawn to take the picture of a black tourist. The tourist was wearing bright blue and green silks. Her skin was creamy smooth brown and her eyes a sparkling blue. The woman was smiling and laughing. Obviously a good dancer, but out of step with the locals. Her eyes following the feet of others as she tried to learn the steps. Barbara took the picture, catching the movement and laughter of the woman and a few of the other dancers. Barbara knew the picture would capture a perfect moment. After the dance Barbara introduced herself to the woman, whose name was Dashawn Williams. Barbara told her that she was photographer and she would like to send her a copy of the picture. Dashawn was very interested and asked to see Barbara's work. Barbara still does not know why, but she took Dashawn back to her place. They talked till dawn about Barbara's work and Dashawn's travels. Dashawn made several cryptic comments about Barbara being 'asleep'. Dashawn offered to show Barbara the 'world' (Barbara still thinks she meant something deeper than just travelling). Dashawn left Edinburgh at the end of the week and Barbara saw her off at the airport. Dashawn's parting words were about Barbara looking her up when she 'wakes up and dreams'.
