Character Name: Schneider
Age: 18
Canon: Reverse 1999
Canon Point: Post Tender is the Night
Defining Events:
1. Breaking of faith: Schneider arrived in the United States as part of an Italian immigrant family and was immediately exposed to the violence and crimes that plagued Chicago throughout the 1920s. Although her parents were devoted Catholics and believed their children to be the same, Schneider's perception of "God" and "authority" were quickly blackened at the tender age of 12. With the loss of her faith in the government and religion, Schneider took up a gun and decided to make her own way in the world to protect her family. She called it the "pigeon trade" - a life for a life.
2. Kidnapping of Marian: Of her eleven sisters, Schneider was closest to Marian. For reasons unknown, they both pretended to be Arcanists, but only Schneider was successful in making a name for herself. When Marian was kidnapped, Schneider put everything aside to rescue her, even working with people she hated like Forget Me Not. This deepened Schneider's distrust in people and only reaffirmed one thing - she was the only one who could do anything to protect her family. And she would do everything that entailed.
3. Meeting Vertin: Her lord, the one person she wished she met before she was plunged into a mad world she could not win against. Meeting Vertin and learning of Vertin's compassion and devotion to people - even people Vertin didn't know, even people that were trying to kill her - was transformative for Schneider. It gave her a sense of hope, a sense that there was good in the world, and there were people worth having faith in. Even if it didn't change Schneider's fate, she was glad to have met Vertin.
She just wanted Vertin to remember her even after the rain would erase every trace left of her.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
Strengths:
Determination: Schneider is known for her sheer force of determination. Despite being the youngest of 12 sisters in a migrant family, it's Schneider who attempts to negotiate and fight for her family against various organisations, using whatever was in her means to keep them safe against the government and other gangs. It was this determination that made her an incredibly successful mafia boss at the age of 18.
Clever: You don't survive running a mafia group without being clever. Schenider is also very quick on her feet and is able to analyse situations and come to a quick conclusion based on the information she receives. She's also able to read between the lines and knows how to pick up on anomalies in information and when she's being deceived.
Charming: She's also a very charming young woman, able to successfully lead a gang of devoted men as a mafia boss despite her age and gender working against her in 1920s Chicago.
Weaknesses
Callousness:However, as a hitman for hire, she has a disregard for human life and could easily kill anyone if she was given a contract and number. The only people she cares for are her family and people she has taken a personal interest in.
Uncommunicative: She doesn't like revealing her true feelings or giving people information upfront. This often upsets other people and makes them angry with her, and she'd gladly goad them on rather than admit to any sort of vulnerability.
Distrustful: Schneider is full of trust issues; she doesn't trust her family to make the right decisions to protect themselves and she doesn't trust in anyone outside of Marian. She lies and deceives like she breathes, and sees no issues in this. As far as Schneider is concerned, it's her and her family against the world and she's the only one strong enough to keep them safe, even if she is the youngest and smallest of them all.
Inventory:
Inventory:
1. A bottle of perfume with notes of Mandarin, Bergamot Orange, Musk, Tobacco. An orange, alluring scent.
2. A white flower with a message embedded in its petals.
3. 4 magazine clips of bullets

A pair of red guns that are modelled after the Colt M1911. They're modified with arcanum back home, but they're just normal guns now.
Gacha Items:
1. A grey top hat with a floppy blue ribbon. It's a strange top hat belonging to a very brave person. My lord.
2. A worn out ledger: it's full of notes on finances with particularly odd notes on 'pigeon' trades. Lots of money has been exchanged for each pigeon.
3. A potted orange tree: It's not the first of its kind, but its been well taken care of. Maybe one day, it will bring prosperity to one's family.
