Advantages
Backgrounds
Arsenal 2
Resources 2
Connections 1 (Special Operations): She still takes tea with old friends who know other people who have openings for musicians. :3
Connections 2 (Intelligence Directorate): Sable is of subaltern rank, but her duties pertain to information gathering and the occasional quiet troubleshooting rather than gathering armies to march. Then again, she's been working for the Directorate since she completed her compulsory duty five years ago...
Breeding 3 (Sable is of uncommonly good breeding, making her sterility all the more disappointing to her family.)
Reputation 2: Publicly, Sable is well-known in the city as one of its finest musicians, rivaling the famous troubadours of Great Forks. Not-so-publicly, everyone in the department with the clearance to access her files - there aren't actually that many - knows about her past. A lot of her work still falls beneath the umbrella of her army designation, "First Field Force special auxiliaries."

Personal Information
Appearance
A very attractive, poised woman with a soft voice and a ready smile. Her breeding is obvious to most who know what to look for: she has long, straight silvery-blue hair that shines like a waterfall in the right light, blue-green eyes, and pale, iridescent skin with the sheen of fresh-water pearls. She tends to favor simple strings of pearls as jewelry while on stage, and often wears them in her hair along with water motifs in her clothing; while she was raised with the usual Lookshyan disdain for baubles, her work has taught her that they can be an effective tool as much as her hidden jade needles.
While she tends to wear elaborately patterned gowns and robes and semi-sheer silks, her less-than-regulation attire still barely approaches the frivolousness of a Dynastic social butterfly. ...though of course she'll rise to the occasion if a party calls for her to look her best.
History
Sable was the youngest of three, the only one in her household branch of Gens Bukane to Exalt at the age of 13. Her breeding was uncommonly good and her family had high hopes for her; she was intelligent and clever and in her salon already showed an aptitude for both the performing arts and a notable subtlety in social situations. During one of her lessons a man with hair the color of maple leaves in autumn watched her, someone she didn't recognize. He spoke with her parents, and at the age of 15 when she enlisted she was handed over to Taizei Yushoto Goro and began her training. Her place would not be in the officers' school as she had assumed, but in the First Field Force's elite special auxiliaries division, known colloquially as the rangers.
Training was tough and missions were even tougher. Sable was swift and graceful and clever but lacked much physical strength, and so her capacity in fangs was largely as an infiltrator. Rather than discourage her from her music lessons, her commanding officer encouraged them, for she provided her teammates excellent cover. She wasn't the sort to become a career officer, though, and so with her compulsory tour of duty served, she took her pension and adopted the civilian's life, becoming a well-known troubadour and junior attache to the Lookshyan embassy in Nexus, traveling across the East to catalogue and archive the folk songs of cultures whose music might otherwise languish in eternal obscurity.
...or at least that's the official story. Most would be surprised to know that Bukane Sable is still employed by the Seventh Legion, simply not in its military branch. She is an operative of the Intelligence Directorate, a liaison between the Adjutant-General's Embassies and the military, and what might be even more surprising is that with the right clearance, you'd find out that she still reports to her old commanding officer...
