Charlene/Hooks

• Texan - This girl grew up in Central Texas. She wears boots and a Cowboy hat every day, and feels out of uniform if she's not wearing jeans and a button-down T-shirt. She has the accent, although it comes and goes from time to time.

• Blacksmith - There's something about a gal who can work with her hands, and Charlene's one of those sorts. She has a workshop set up near her house with a couple of good anvils and a forge, allowing her to make pretty much anything one might want out of iron, steel, or the like. Fae may want to stay away from this room, due to all the iron filings bouncing around. Lessons available.

• Wood Worker - Steel isn't the only thing Charlene works with, and Sawdust is cooler than glitter. Another section of her workshop has woodworking tools - enough for just about anything she'd desire to make. So far, it's mainly handles for knives and the like - and one good collapsible bow - but she could probably do a chair or something.

• Guitar Player - One thing that always accompanied Charlene on her wandering, aside from her hat, was her guitar. It's a great way to make money, instantly forms a tenable connection across language barriers, and helps her to relax when things get a bit hairier than usual.

• Storyteller - Galliard? You betcha. Charlene learns stories the way water soaks into a sponge, and she has no sign of slowing down any time soon. Need to know something about an ancestor? Charlene might know it. Need a tale to spur your characters to greater acts of heroism? There's a story for that. Mostly Fury and Get stories, though, although in her travels she's picked up deeds from just about every sept and tribe.

• Well-Travelled - Charlene has been to three continents. If you have a Garou or other sort and need an 'in,' you could always arrive and say you know Charlene since, well, she's been a lot of places.
