Monica Hawthorne
Monica Hawthorne is a Homid Glass Walker Garou in North Carolina.
Overview
As a member of the Glass Walkers, Monica has no fear of technology but views it as a part of humanity's natural creativity and thus acceptable to Gaia. As a graduate student in engineering at the University of Chapel Hill, she attended several lectures given by Professor Camden Murdoch. Sensing something extraordinary about the gifted but decidedly eccentric professor, Monica looked more closely at him, drawing on her gifts to penetrate his mortal shell. Delighted at discovering a member of the rare race of faeries, Monica sought out the Professor and revealed herself to him.
Since that time, Monica and Duke Murdoch have maintained regular contact with each other. She is one of the few non-Kithain to visit the sidhe lord's laboratory and view some of his prized inventions. She is trying to interest him in the idea of starting up a small business to market some of his more durable creations. So far, Murdoch has declined her offer, fearing that his Glamour-infused machines and gadgets will not survive the Banality of the modern marketplace.

Monica is tall and broad-shouldered, with short dark hair and bright blue eyes. She dresses in stylish clothes, even when attending lectures, and usually carries a laptop computer and cell phone. As a wolf, she has dark brown fur and a stocky, well-muscled body.
Personal
Professor Murdoch's dream-tech may be just the solution to bridging the gap between the Weaver's creations and the Wyld's abhorrence of technology. She doesn't exactly understand why the Professor is afraid to release his inventions into the world. She would love to bring the changelings of the Triangle into an alliance with her fellow Garou. There are few enough of each group in the region that cooperation may spell the difference between defeat and victory in the coming war against the Wyrm... or Endless Winter, as the Professor calls it.
