=Character Information=

===Summary===
Louisiana Swamp-Witch on the run.

===Goals===
* Become a powerful mage.
* Resolve her bounty, whatever it takes.
* Get her parents out of that crappy old shack.

==Background==

Born and raised on the Louisiana Bayou just outside New Orleans, Miss Camille Auclair grew up in a little shack on stilts that leaked when it rained.

She'd sit on the porch and do her homework on a bootleg edusoft, watching Pa rip parts off the latest junker to turn up in their yard. In the evenings, she'd help Ma light the candles that kept the corpselights from coming too close to the house. It was her awakening that changed things: Her mother had been a minor aspected sorceress, her father a spark. Camille was the real deal, a full-blown magician. And a strong one at that.

The offers came in, scholarships and free rides. Her folks would've had to been fools not to take it. And so a teenage Camille made her way into the Big Easy proper to attend Delgado Community College's thaumaturgical studies course with a path to an undergrad. Her mother's beliefs had already shaped her tradition, and her up-to-now lackluster formal education left her falling rapidly behind in the hermetic focused environment.

Always sad to see talent go to waste. She dropped out after a few semesters of failure and turned to other options. She fell into crime easy enough, plenty of room on the dark side for a good mage with even a little bit of formal training.

It was, however, when she was on a job that things went south. A simple enough task: Cook a couple watchers, steal some trinket. Until she stumbled across the cages full of people in the back room. She couldn't ignore their pleas for help, and what should have been an easy job became a major fight. The building burned, the slaves stumbled into the night never to be seen again, and Newt had stuck a thorn firmly in the side of an up-and-coming Zobop Mambo looking to stake her claim in the Big Easy.

Word got to her that she was a wanted woman, and she reached out to a few friends looking for a way out of town. A fixer in Seattle answered and gave her the escape she needed; on the condition she'd be willing to work for her keep.

== Narrative Significant Qualities ==

===Positive===
* '''Mentor Spirit: Fire-Bringer:''' Known to Newt as Cernunnos, a manifestation of the Horned God, Fire-Bringer leads her toward a life of generosity and encourages her in her pursuits, and to do right even when it's hard.

* '''Sensei:''' Newt has been taken in as a student of one Morgan Crawford, High Priestess of a Goddess Wiccan sect within Seattle.

===Negative===
* '''Moderate Allergy, Uncommon (Matrix DNI):''' Newt suffers from a rare disorder that causes her brain to be incompatible with the form of neurological override used in DNI interfaces such as datajacks and trodes. This leaves her stuck using the matrix the old fashioned way.

* '''Gremlins:''' Electronics don't like Newt very much. Things just seem to always go wrong.

* '''Wanted:''' Newt pissed off the wrong crowd back in the Big Easy. No good deed goes unpunished. Mama Sanita, a Vodou Manbo associated with the Zobop and Tamanous metahuman trafficking operation in New Orleans, has placed a 25,000 nuyen bounty to have Newt brought to her.

==Summary==
The team is tasked with getting back someone's "Friend" who turns out to be his weak-forced ally spirit, as well as the bag that he stole from someone, that was stolen from him, and he wants it stolen back because that's his livelihood, stealing things. Can't have that, something being stolen from you.

==Background==
The Forked fangs are a go-gang, and tend to keep to their turf; yet when a lousy upstart tries to pull a fast one on them and lifts a bag from the forked fangs, they lash out and steal from the thief who'd dare steal from them, also thieves. Yet, the unsuspecting mage left his ally spirit in the bag, and spent the day bemoaning the loss of his possession spirit's body. Heading to his fixer to beg for an SOS, the individual scrapes the last of his liquid assets and hires runners to out thieves the thieves who outhieved this thief.

==The Meet==
The team meet the J crying behind a dumpster behind the Daze. Trying to patch him up, [[John Galt|John]] ends up prying and trying to put the squeeze on the puny low time thief. Whipping him up into a furor, they say that he needs to steal stuff for THEM to help get 'EXP' and some extra nuyen. He agrees, and gives a picture of the bag and the general area of where the bag is, given he had a stealth tag with the bag that was lost.

==The Plan==
Head on to the tracker, scout the area, get the loot. Simple as.

==The Run==
Piling into Hammerhead's van, the team heads over the area following the stealth tag. Finding the building's street, they stealthily drive around to find the building. Seeing some signs of life of the derelict building, they head to sneak in on foot.

John tries to speak with the guy at the front door, but after finding him blabbering too much, decides to instead control his thoughts with a spells. Being now lead to the target area, the trio sends in to the underground to mess with the gang propper.

Newt, staying in the car, ends up seeing an approaching spirit and traps them in a mana barrier. The spirit tries to escape, but is unable to do so right away. Meanwhile, hammerhead, Newt's spirit, and John head in for tense negotiations with the gang leader. He finds their attitude balsy, and hears them out. yet, when the plea is to have their J's belongings returned, they laugh it off with a "We took what was ours by might!"

John proposes that they should give the bag back anyway, and seeing the pluck in John, the leader mentions that if they can best their guys in a fight, he would let them have it. So, the team enters into a fight with the goons.

The rounds of combat go steadily with shots, spells, punches and thwacks being given to and from both sides; notably a pre edged attack from John nearly geeks the two mages, and in retaliation a CFA nearly geeks john. A spirit is taken out by Newt and his spirit, while the mage takes himself out accidentally when trying to resummons. Calling the embarrassment of a fight off, the leader sees that his team was woefully unprepared, and hands over the loot. Yet, seeing the strength of the runners, offers employment to them in the future if they wish (Not as gang members, just as potential contacts).

==Aftermath==
Opening the bag, the team is shocked and pleasantly surprised to see that the 'bro' that was missing wasn't a man at all, but was a possession based ally spirit of a low force for the mage in question. Returning it to the J, the lantern seemed happy to be back, and the J was excited, and handed over some hood ornaments to the team, which were pawned off for extra nooj.
