Merits and Flaws

Merit: Legendary Intelligence (+3): Girl's a smartypants. It almost makes up for her laundry list of mental issues. ...almost.
Merit: Eidetic Memory (+3): Exactly what it sounds like. She's got perfect recall.
Flaw: Derangement (Manic Depression) (-2): Seneca suffers from crippling mood swings which often affect her ability to function. Take penalties to Temperance and Conviction, respectively.
Flaw: Vice (Addiction) (-2): A while ago Seneca discovered a certain bordermarch in the East, containing a spring with waters from which she can have her assistant distill a tonic that can keep her "spells" relatively infrequent. However, it has this tendency to shift locations and the route is not the safest in the world, making it a bit more difficult to obtain than something more common like heroin (though she is a heavy binge drinker, she only goes that far when things are really bad).
Flaw: Nightmares (-3): ....ahahaha she is never going to have any willpower.
Flaw: Unbidden Oracle (-2): Seneca has been plagued with disturbing insights into the workings of Creation since her childhood, an intimate connection to the Loom that has persisted beyond her Exaltation. It doesn't exactly help her reputation in the Bronze Faction as the Manse's resident crackpot.

Personal Record

Personality: Mercurial. She's odd even for a Secrets, spending weeks as a social butterfly and then months as a complete hermit. When caught on a good day, she's observant, dry-witted, and reasonably amiable. Most of the other Oracles agree that something is definitely off, though.

Appearance: She might be pretty if she didn't usually look drawn and haggard, like she doesn't sleep enough. Vivid green eyes, curly (more like frizzy) hair a faded red color, usually pulled in a loose ponytail. Wears a light coat over a corset top and tunic beneath that, fitted leathers, knee-high lace-up boots. Very simple, very innocuous.

History: (tomorrow because I'm exhausted.)
