History
Date of Birth: May 14th, 1553
Home: Paris, France
Family: Henry II and Catherine de'Medici (parents), Charles IX (older brother), Henry III (older brother), Francis (younger brother)
The Embrace: External Supernatural Trigger (as part of the Valois Dynasty, Margaret found herself in line to the throne after her brothers failed to rule, and she ruled well for many years; as her life began to wane, she joined the world-exploring search for miracles, particularly a Fountain of Youth; her search turned up only a dark magical ritual that restored her youth, forcing her to hide away in the last year from all but her closest chevalier bodyguard, but the Kindred targeted her for the Embrace rather than let her be burnt at the stake as a witch), 1615
Sire: Nithard
The Test: Trial by Knowledge (her Becoming was simple, and her brilliant mind easily demonstrated her acceptance and readiness for the Traditions and life as a Cainite, during which time she changed her common name to Sebille)
Comrades: Benoit Galantine
Key Event #1: Treachery (though she paid her dues to her sire, once released as a neonate, she immediately exited public Kindred life, having no interest any longer in politics of any stripe, and instead decided early on that she would take that most faithful knight, Sir Galantine, and help him find the true immortality she missed out on; their explorations gallivanted across Europe together, with the mortal accepting her existence as a vampire, until they came across a Cabiri one-time-use Spell of Life in the ruins of northern Greece)
Key Event #2: Awe & Wonder (she kept herself at a distance from other Kindred, even her home court of Paris, dabbling in and presenting some art as expected of her clan, but continued to be very disinterested in and avoiding of politics)
Key Event #3: Awe & Wonder (as her relationship with Benoit blossomed, she became content to treat undeath as a kind of permanent retirement from the throne, during which time she spent a great deal of time researching and comprehending the esoteric and occult, and acclimating to Benoit's cycles of life and death, during which she watched over his body)
Key Event #4: War (the Jyhad heated up again in Europe, with Anarchs pushing through France during the Revolution, so she and Benoit made arrangements to relocate to the New World, selecting New Orleans as their destination)
Key Event #5: Treachery (in her new American manor, despite the Camarilla's and even her own clan's support of slavery, she helped smuggle slaves out of the area, butting heads with the local Toreador Primogen, Michel Rochette, whose will she crushed through her sheer majesty)
Key Event #6: War (though New Orleans avoided direct Sabbat assault under the cover of the American Civil War, the city came under siege later in the 20th-century, and Wild Hunts cut down any elders caught loose in their path: Primogen Michel perished and Sebille nearly joined him, were it not for Benoit's dedicated heroism)
Transition: Shift in Nature (she strengthened her bond of love to Benoit and also submitted more to the "will of God", vowing to stay low off the radar in anticipation of the monstrous Endtimes that approach)
Significant Other
Name: Benoit Galantine, 1625
Nature: Romantic
Benoit
Weakness
Queen Nothing
Sebille's personal power has been launched by her insatiably curious and brilliant mind. And in Benoit, she has a powerful ally. But she will continue to find herself a target, no matter how she hides.
Likelihood of Corruption
Low.
Though an elder vampire who has dabbled in all kinds of blood magic, she keeps a moral center, and the chivalrous Benoit helps.
