Know Your Kindred – Ana Rita Montana

Name: Ana Rita Montana
Clan: Tzimisce
Generation: 9th
Embrace: 1813

Ana Rita Montana believes herself to be a manifestation of the Virgin Mary, albeit a failed manifestation. Her sanity is unstable due to a terrible illness that brought on fever-induced hallucinations while she lived as a nun in a deplorable Mexican convent. She was raped by a groundskeeper while ill, but believed he was the Holy Ghost visiting her. She became pregnant, but the child was stillborn and Ana went from delusional to psychotic.

The other nuns feared if Ana’s condition was discovered the government would shut them down, so they dumped her into a shallow grave. It was there a Tzimisce and his dogs found her still alive and he Embraced her. She spent her early nights learning from him and the two became lovers. The two eventually parted ways with Ana still believing herself a Barren Virgin for the death of her child.

Ana maintains a haven in the apartment of a defrocked mortal nun. She appears before the other nuns as a divine vision and has collected a small cult of worshipers. Ana encourages self mortification and whips her worshipers with her flail-like fingers.

Ana appears as an imperfect Virgin Mary. She usually wears simple robes and her face is sculpted like a timeworn statue with small minute cracks and plaster hue. Additionally, she distends her fingers to the point each is three feet in length, like a chain. Ana spends most of her time Obfuscated unless it serves her to better move among the shadows.
