Sydney Rae

Name: Sydney Rae
Address: 330 Chelsea Ave, Winnipeg, MB

High Concept: Counselor, ex-White Court Junkie

Personal Struggle: Craves the high but hates the unholy

Where Did You Come From?
Raised in a family dominated by a violent father. Sydney learned early how to hide from his fists. At the age of 13, she was given an Ouija Board that upped her terror of “things that go bump in the night.” She grew up lost, lonely, and frightened, excelling academically but drifting through life seeking excitement and safety through the mystical and martial arts.

What Shapes You?
She was recruited into a Pentecostal church infiltrated by the White Court and explored the thrill of divine and dark supernatural highs. The sensation of divine love was bastardized, leaving her feeling misused by God and some indefinable evil. She tried to leave, but the highs and her fascination for “something out there” kept drawing her back. Finally, Hedy, a friend outside the church, frees her with a Renunciation. She becomes a counselor with a hate on for the White Court.
