A curvy Blonde with blue eyes, she is (typically) garbed in "Lara Croftish/Indiana Jonesish" active wear with utility belt in the field.

Notes
Translation into GURPS from White Wolf system.
This version does have the dependents, the first online version had. Baby Magelings while a handful, are worth little as dependents due to their point values. In fact they as player characters count as expensive allies due to their power levels and usefulness.

This the strange, non-idomatic translation, the strictly by the book version.

Doing college credit at a Robotics Lab at 16, she "awakened" at age 17 when she realized the lab techs & Scientists were rewriting reality as they (the Technocracy Iteration-X) saw fit...... So much for MIT.

New name, New place, Very New clothing style (down with Geek wear), "Annebelle Bethany" tries to avoid the Technocracy while becoming an Action Heroine. (They say those violent video games will warp you).

Due to the changes in her life since her awakening, Bethany now 20, has had to use a different name or two past her birth name. Annebelle Bethany is the name she used when she first met the cypherkiddies, so that is the name on her character sheet and the name they know her by. The "Cypherkiddies" are the precocious magelings Bethany is the current "mother" of.....

    Fraudulently adopted by "Elizabeth Heather Walker" (wife of ficticous Industrialist Jason Cornelius Walker on paper)
  • Edgar Thorp - age 9 {Virtual Adept} First one found, and the key to creating Mr Walker so the trio could be adopted from the various orphanages [Fronts for ????]
  • Hawk Siverspear - age 8 {Dreamspeaker} Far too swiftly put into a non-indian foster home after his grandfather died.
  • Desmond Wraith - age 16 {Euthanatos} Life has treated him badly - will the forces of death treat him better?
Why are so many children with potential, sudden orphans..? And why do all of the paper trails of the agencies involved lead to blind trusts and very dead ends ?

    Standard Spell Foci [may not needed at my level of Arete, but sure more fun & "scientific"]
  • PRIME - Sound maker Tricorder [it works for me]
  • MATTER - Small rock hammer (as used by gemologists & geologists & Geomancers Oh My)
  • FORCES - Compact with hinged Mirror & Mirror combo
