Overview

Born in the Warsaw sprawl in Poland on November 20, 2063 to a generationally-loyal Saeder-Krupp family (and a SINner from birth as a result), Anna Lee is something of a prodigy though she has a deeply conflicted relationship with her childhood life. She is a graduate of the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts, where she obtained both her bachelors and advanced masters in 2084 at the tender age of 20. In 2085, she completed her PhD at only 23. One might think these achievements were expedited by nepotism, but she spent time during her studies interning at the Warsaw Uprising Museum (WUP), National Museum in Warsaw (NMW), Museum of Modern Art Warsaw (MOMA-W), and The Warsaw Grand Theatre and National Ballet. A solitary and waif-like, clumsy goth with few outside interests, she escaped into art and the pageantry of costumery from an early age. When she was old enough, she used the knowledge from her honed skills and internships to reproduce classical paintings with a high level of accuracy and precision due to her talents with developing colour and dyes to expertly apply them. Not limited to ancient paintings, this skill extends to historical knowledge and the ability to dye textiles for costumes or other attire for fashion or for other nearly imperceptible from authentic reproductions.

She left the Warsaw Grand Theatre and National Ballet quite soon after obtaining her PhD, eager to work at the SAM in the Seattle exclave on exchange from them. She was at the SAM for less than a month when she was killed by The Whistler during All Hallows 2086. Literally revived by the humanity and generosity of Chameleon and Song of the Brook, who also paid a couple of months rent for her help in hunting the mundane-stalking pied piper-esque monster who whistled and sung his victims intro drowning, she now will always answer their communications when they contact her. They also managed to largely preserve the museum and its art, which further endeared them to her.

Both of her parents are alive and relatively well-heeled back home. While most of her extended family serve S-K in various capacities as corporate executives and corporate lawyers, she is something of a black sheep and disappointment who expresses her silent disapproval. Having been given a taste of the rebellion for a cause through Chameleon and Brook and in their honour, she has selected the name 'Brookesia Micra' - the smallest chameleon species discovered - as her handle when dealing with those in the shadows and hung out her shingle as a contact for those whom her deep knowledge of history and art, costumery and period wardrobe, military and corporate dress, and above all dye creation and application might benefit. She hopes her status as a budding exhibitor will also display her dissent from her family and disapproval of the post-capitalist world. She partners with others to create, exhibit, and distribute where possible.

GM Notes

• Always responds to Chameleon or Song of the Brook
• She can be difficult to reach during business hours, but is good about responding at night.
• She requires introduction through another runner to take her as a contact in order to keep her professional life as clean as possible.
• She does not accept contact requests for S-K SINners or known collaborators.

Aspects Description

Aspect	Description
No Saedists	Does not knowingly work with anyone who even whiffs of Saeder-Krupp. If she is deceived into working with or for them or discovers she has accidentally taken on a contact who fits this description, she will: Bar the offender(s) from her services as long as they remain S-K loyalists. Require the offender(s) complete a Deadly or higher threat-level run against Saeder-Krupp interests and deliver her proof in addition to requiring new referral(s) to take her as a contact again. Drop her Loyalty to the runner(s) who served as the offender(s) referral(s) by a value of 1. If Loyalty is at 1, the runner who made the referral may accept an anti-Saeder-Krupp run of any threat level and deliver her proof in order to avoid having their own access to her services revoked as well. Automatically decline any referral from a player who is currently pending revocation and/or a run to avoid revocation of contact. Suppress this aspect for Chameleon or Song of the Brook exclusively, though she will be deeply offended.
Above Aspect pending approval. Please notify Thematics.
Million Nuyen Baby	Nepotism has its perks. She might hate Saeder-Krupp and have a strained familial relationship, but there are few who have as much connection to their work in Poland as they do. (+2 Knowledge Checks on Saeder-Krupp / Poland.) (+4 Knowledge Checks on Warsaw sprawl, particularly academic buildings/museums.) (+2 Active Checks to serve as a guide within the Warsaw Sprawl or a known academic building / corporate building/museum.)
History in Short Supply	Need to know something about the fashion of art or period wardrobe? Trying to mimic military garb from a certain period? She either knows how to help or has a contact who can.

(+2 Gear or Legwork Checks on Acquiring/Making Period or Military Wardrobe Pieces or Painting Reproductions or General Art Supplies) (+4 Knowledge or Active Checks on Pigment Creation, Manufacture, and Application.
Art of the Matter	Anna cares deeply for her work, and has an unforgiving eye for quality. This is a reflection of her appreciation of art and its history, as well as the underpinning ethic that has made her so good at what she does. Her status as an intern should not be confused for a lack of her own skill or merit. She simply is dedicating to building things herself as opposed to accepting the corpo-baby handouts. (+2 Knowledge Check on Art Appraisal (Paintings and Costume/Wardrobe Pieces).) (+2 Active Check on Forgery Appraisals (Textiles and Ink).) (+4 Active Check on Art Appraisal (Paintings and Costume/Wardrobe/Historical Fashion Pieces).) (+4 Active Check on Salvaging/Refining Botched Reproductions/Restorations.)

(+2 Knowledge Checks on Art History / Theatre History / Period Attire and Fashion (General, Theatre).) (+2 Gear or Legwork Checks on Acquiring/Making Period or Military Wardrobe Pieces or Painting Reproductions or General Art Supplies) (+4 Knowledge or Active Checks on Pigment Creation, Manufacture, and Application.)
Dark Primadonna	With elegance hidden under her daily art world attire and a lot of angst driven by her mother's foiled wishes, she holds knowledge of ballet happenings and has old contacts amongst her school-days circles. (+2 Knowledge Checks on Ballet.) (+2 Gear or Legwork Checks on Acquiring Ballet-related Attire or Items.) (+2 Active Checks on Ballet Dances or Mimicking Ballet or General Theatre Etiquette.)
