Verboten Magic - While Jodessa comes from Hermetic backgrounds and teachings; she is lured by the knowledge of the forbidden fruit. Her deviant and pagan ways while often viewed as Wiccan or Druidic blur the lines of Tremere decency. Wiccan beliefs often tie into the Triple Goddess (aka the Maiden, the Mother and the Crone) which some Tremere historians assume to be Lilith, the other prominent Wiccan god figure is the Horned One (which is feared as a type of infernalism).

Researching the Taboo - In the past, Telyavelic Tremere spread from the main clan to learn the magic of eastern European pagans (which resembled Koldunism in some ways), this animistic Thaumaturgy was called Sielanic and they were primarily located in Lithuania and Poland - not that far from Germany. Jodessa claims to be just a researcher, trying to uncover lost paths and rituals for ... historical reasons. Also living close to the borders of Mexico, the temptation of recovering artifacts from House Goratrix might exist.

Germany, Berlin - Born and raised there, this was one of the few cities that had two Princes due to the wall and separation of West and East Germany. The wall was magically enforced with Thaumaturgy, yet came down in 1989. Jodessa was born 4 years after this historic event. Yet, it still takes years for things to normalize and she witnessed difficulties with the two sides becoming one again.

Black Rose Anarchs- There were really only two Anarch groups in Berlin. The Final Reich a Neo-Nazi organization with some allegiance to the Sabbat; which was later removed. Then the Black Rose Anarchs. These Anarchs espouse very basic anarch ideals – equality, tolerance, liberty. The Black Rose Anarchs reached an agreement with the Prince of the city, as long as the Black Rose achieved tangible benefits for Berlin and did not offend the titled Kindred of the city, they were permitted to stay. -- European Anarchs are a bit more temperate compared to their American cousins, but they still desire to create a Anarch Free State in Germany.
