Rina Yui

- Addressing Spencer Marick, A Night Time Stroll

Rina was born into the Yui family, a small servant family of a somewhat powerful lord, in 1899. Her family enjoyed a moderately enjoyable life, with their master feeding, clothing, and housing them well, or at least as well as they could expect for their station. As they were one of his oldest servant families, with Rina and her siblings being the 5th generation to serve him, they received most of the leadership positions among the servants. Rina found she enjoyed the position of servant, and was rather good at it, and ended up being given the prestigious position of personal assistant to his eldest daughter.

The family itself had attracted the attention of one particular Khaibit vampire, who had been watching them for 3 generations, quietly waiting for one of them to show true potential for the calling of his kind. He found Rina to be the first to meet his standards, as she was the only to show actual pride in her position, and not just parts of her work. The vampire had long since forgotten to care about gender or social standing, and, upon receiving permission, simply Embraced Rina and brought her into the fold of the Khaibit.

Rina was at first resistant to the idea of abandoning her family, friends, and job, undeath or no undeath. So, her new sire simply destroyed everything she had been attached to, pulling several strings in the government to have her old master exiled, her family executed, and her place of residence destroyed. His childe did not react as he had expected, as she did not immediately abandon everything that no longer existed, but railed against him and attempted to escape several times.

Seeing this and being unwilling to attempt to change her mind more, her sire used it as training, putting her in increasingly complicated prisons and forcing her to attempt to escape by any means necessary. As she received this training, she improved, learning Disciplines mostly by herself, and practicing the inborn physical Disciplines especially. This training continued, improving her and teaching her important skills, lasting 20 years, until she actually managed to escape, evading his skills and finding refuge as far from him as possible, with the Invictus.

Though she appreciated the way in which the Invictus was organized, and liked their mentality, as it had already been drummed into her during her mortal life, Rina had a hard time adapting her new skills and the role drummed into her by her parents and her sire. Stealth, subterfuge, and other skills important to spies and assassins, which she had learned in her apprenticeship, were prized in servants of members of the Invictus, not members themselves. Eventually, however, after several months of flailing about, trying to find a place within the covenant, she was approached by a man calling himself a Shadow. He offered her a place in the Knightly Order of the Black Book. He knew that her skills would be highly prized within the Order, and she would find membership to fit what she was looking for.

She followed him far into northern Canada to the home of the Order, the Fallen Cathedral, where she would spend the next 15 years being tested and indoctrinated into the Order's beliefs and mindset. At the end of her training, she was given her own black book in the Order's ceremony of entrance, fully inducted, and given the title of Shadow of the Order. She was then sent with an outbound team of newly-inducted Shadows to the chapter house in Chicago, from which she has moved several times, having resided at most of the major cities in the United States at one time or another. Her latest assignment has been to Sacramento, with a group of others meant to establish an Order presence there, and possibly create a new chapter house.
