Overview

A free spirit who spent her days hanging out in a local cat cafe, Queen Elizabeth XXIII is destined for great things. She is well-connected to the local spirit community, and has found some runners who have taken her in and offered her a warm place to stay and some tasty milk (with a side of karma). She has been known to enjoy the finer things in life, particularly high-end sashimi. She is currently Force 6, but she is growing stronger, day by day...

The self-proclaimed Queen of Seattle, Elizabeth XXIII is a free spirit with deep roots in the Seattle spirit community. She spent several decades removed from the mortal world, but has recently decided to take an interest, as she finds the corps to be entirely repulsive and deeply disrespectful of both her rightful claim to the city and to the rights of spirits and mortals alike. Her original master is unknown, but he was presumably a Druid from relatively soon after the Awakening, as she seems to have been around Seattle for several decades. She believes that the exercise of power, as shown by the corps, is gross tyranny, and a true Queen will reign based on the admiration her people have for her and that admiration alone. She takes the pets that humans give her as a sign of their fealty, and therefore considers the power of the corps to be an illegitimate challenge to her rightful reign.

Aspects Description

Aspect	Description
Hungry Free Spirit	For every full increment of ¥4,000 owed to her for services rendered, Queen Elizabeth demands at least 1 karma, replacing nuyen at a rate of 1 karma for every ¥2000. EG, a debt of ¥6,000 could be paid a 1 karma and ¥4,000, 2 karma and ¥2,000, or 3 karma, but not with nuyen alone. This has no effect on debts below ¥4,000. The karma is delivered via a ritual conducted by the Queen's Steward, Tatsuo, who holds her spirit formula and will defend it with his life. Lizzy does not expect payment up front, and will happily wait until a run is over to take her due, but any unpaid debts decrease Loyalty by the amount of karma owed if they are not paid back after the end of a run.
