Dr. Meredith Kowalski

Description

A tall, angular woman in her late thirties with calloused fingers from decades of needlework and prematurely gray hair pulled back in a messy bun. Her clothes are always wrinkled and she has a habit of adjusting her wire-rimmed glasses while speaking. When she laughs, it's a startling cackle that seems too loud for her thin frame.

Backstory

Meredith was embraced in 1987 after completing her residency in plastic surgery. She'd been secretly experimenting with radical reconstructive techniques on homeless patients, driven by an obsession with understanding the limits of human flesh. Her sire, an ancient Tzimisce named Konstantin, recognized her potential and brought her into the clan. For decades, she's operated out of Murphy's bar, using the basement as both her haven and her laboratory. She maintains her mortal identity as a freelance seamstress, taking contracts from high-end boutiques while secretly using her skills to craft flesh like fabric. Meredith has been developing a new form of Vicissitude that can permanently alter vampiric forms, something that has caught the attention of both the Camarilla and Sabbat. She's been testing her techniques on captured thin-bloods, believing their malleable blood makes them perfect subjects for her research.
