5’5”, medium build, with midthigh-length blackhair, large and drooping brown-black eyes
During her time in the convent, she sported the traditional habit of her sect, though she did not crop her hair like many of her cohorts, instead choosing to plait and pin her hair so that it would fit under the veil
After being sent to the church in Nottingham, she was no longer able to complete her confirmation, so she was no longer allowed to wear her habit

Her chosen clothes are currently very similar to the habit
Floor-length black gown with a low waistline (common for post-regency fashion), high neck covered by a locked posture collar, and sheer gloves
Often trades the cross lock on the collar with a medallion of St. Denis, Patron Saint of Frenzy and the possessed, on days when her hunger is the worst

Wears heavy white makeup over her her already pale skin to explain the pallor of her skin

Heavily blushes her cheeks and over her nose to mimic the healthy glow she had as a child
Draws over her small beauty marks so they are still visible over the makeup
Wears two Crosses of Saint Peter under her eyes

Parents noticed homosexual tendencies, wanted to set their only daughter on a less sinful life

Was pressured by parents and Sisters to pursue taking the vows to become a sister
Began her Candidacy at 17, was sent to recently founded Liverpool Convent (1842)

Attacked just after her 18th birthday, turned by male vampire she was sent to watch after
Tried to hide the wound and the change that was happening to her, however the hunger became too strong to resist

In a moment of weakness and bloodlust, she attacked (but did not kill) many of her Sisters
Enter Hunter, a vampire hunter called to this area by the Abotess due to the male vampire attacking many of her nuns and sisters
Sabine, covered in blood and half out of her mind, fell to her knees in front of Hunter and the Abotess, begging them to kill her

Hunter, struck by the desperate young woman on her knees, decided instead to satisfy their intrinsic need to dominate and control, having always wanted someone who could be completely devoted to them
Hunter convinced the Abotess that since she did not kill any of her sisters, that she should be spared

“She should be made to repent for her actions, yes. But to be put to death for something she cannot control? That is not power that you nor I possess, Abotess.”

Did not kill Sabine, instead promised the delirious woman that she could be forgiven if she completely devoted herself to ‘God’

Sabine agrees, desperate for any way to be forgiven for her actions
Soon, Sabine comes to understand that it was not God but Hunter that she had pledged her devotion to

Was permitted to stay in the convent so that she could be less of a threat to others around her, but her sisters do not trust her and she is effectively shunned by those around her
She is then sent by the Abotess to a new church in Nottingham, where she could be watched over by the reverend and Hunter, who claimed Sabine as their ‘responsibility’
She and Hunter were put to work, caring for the sick and injured, and this is where Hunter first revealed their taste for human flesh

As Sabine was tending to someone near to death, having suffered a grave injury days before, Hunter grabbed their arm, lifted it to their mouth, and, much to Sabine’s horror, bit deep into the pale skin and ripped away a large chunk, sinew stretching and snapping like bands.
With a wide, satisfied smile, they swallowed the bloody flesh. Sabine trembled across from Hunter, both from the shock of watching someone she considered (unrequitedly) a friend commit such an act of violence, but also at the blood that poured from the wound and streamed sloppily down Hunter’s chin and neck.

Though she is now unable to complete her confirmation due to her ‘condition’ she still retains many of the habits she picked up during her time in the convent

Taking long, contemplative walks through the city and around the grounds of the church
Veiling when within the main chambers of the church
Reading old texts and working to translate them from Latin to common English
