Overview

Anna is a professional businesswoman who provides magical items, knowledge, and paraphernalia with a more well-to-do look than most. Despite her corpo look and demeanor, Anna is actually quite the loyal and friendly Talismonger and treats her customers and Runners very well regardless of who they are or where they come from. Skills and Nuyen are good no matter who they come from after all. Anna believes in keeping relationships with those she has business with well and alive and is not the type to easily betray those she considers prized patrons. However, when she feels cheated or ridiculed, Anna is very quick to make her displeasure known in various unsettling fashions.

Less known about her is that Anna is quite the admirer and sympathizer for drakes in the Sixth World - particular free drakes just trying to live a life without servitude or being hunted around every corner. In fact, Anna's wife is a Drake, but this information is highly secret and almost nobody actually knows this. Anna is very protective of her wife and anyone who threatens her is quick to discover just how far Anna is willing to go to get rid of them. Having lived with a drake for some time has given Anna some insights to some tells and signs as to whether or not someone may be one. She never actually knows unless they tell her outright, but if she suspects someone is a drake, Anna will offer them a "special service" and ask them into her private office. There, if they let her know that they are a Drake, Anna offers them special services and protection and is much more favorable towards them as patrons and Runners who work with her.

Aspects Description

Aspect Description
Awakened Fixer Anna is Awakened and favors Runners who are also Awakened, but she is more than willing to be a Fixer for anyone who respects her, her business, and her clients. Anyone willing to work with Awakened is worth consideration after all.
Awakened Philanthropist Anna is fairly known to be very helpful and respectful to the Awakened community in particular, and there are many magical individuals who trust her immensely. As a result, Anna has many connections with the Awakened and otherwise magical individuals. Anna gains a +2 bonus to Networking Checks related to Awakened individuals
Big Stick Diplomancy Anna is quite fond of taking care of would-be problems herself with direct methods. However, casting spells within her businesses is rather unprofessional and tends to make a mess, so Anna has quite the knack for Weapon Foci. Still very effective and cause relatively less mess. As a result, Anna has a much easier time creating or obtaining Weapon Foci and gains a +2 Bonus to Gear Checks for Weapon Foci.
Drake Sympathizer If Anna knows you are a Drake, she will offer you her protection in return for favors. If you are a Drake Runner in need of a safe place to hide, Anna will offer you a place in her safehouse in return for a Favor. The level of the Favor is based around GM Discretion. This offer is not extended to Non-Drakes.
Hocus Focus While she sells any manner of magical items or supplies, Anna is rather interested in Foci and has a few ins for getting a hold of them more easily. Anna gains a +2 bonus to Gear Checks to obtain Foci.
Talismonger Anna is a Talismonger and can act as a possible supplier for all things magical and alchemical in nature.
