Biography

“ Faith isn’t about strength. It’s about surrender. Surrender and service. ”

Mortal Days

Franziska was born in the Dutch city of Rotterdam where she exhibited macabre tendencies. She’d often examine dead animals or visit graveyards. Her parents were concerned about her, putting her in therapy and attempting other methods of making their daughter “normal.” These efforts proved to be in vain.

At the age of eighteen, Franziska left home. With the sole exception of her younger sister, she never looked back. She committed to the study of death — a journey which lead her to Bircham International University in Spain. After obtaining a degree in thanatology, she traveled extensively throughout Europe as a specialist in a field which had few. During a guest lecture in Munich, she drew the attention of Anja Giovanni. The two cultivated a friendship which eventually culminated into a full-throated partnership. Franziska served as Mother Anja’s loyal ghoul for a decade before the Embrace.

Kindred Nights

In many ways, Franziska is a younger version of her sire. She is a disciple of the Cult of Death and Undeath and represents a new generation of younger, more technologically-savvy Hecata. Franziska tends to take herself way too seriously. Her rigorous attitude has led her to form her own cult, the Church of the Transcendent. There Franziska educates young women with an interest in the morbid and obscure. In the meantime, she serves as the spiritual heart of the coterie.

In addition to being a member of the Hecata temple, Franziska leads the Church of the Transcendent. As its Mother, she has access to a half dozen like-minded individuals all of whom believe in the transcendent aspect of life and death. With permission from the local Tremere, Franziska is a guest lecturer of thanatology at the University of Munich, teaching a pair of night classes each week. She has unrestricted access to the university’s archives and uses the campus to recruit members into her cult.

Appearance

Franziska is exceptionally tall with short black hair and pale skin. She has an athletic build, preferring a long fur coat when she needs to venture out.
