Sanguine lives on the streets,
or, more commonly, in the apartment of whomever she's drained to the point of
unconsciousness and mind-wiped into remembering her only as 'that awesome babe
I hooked up with last night!' She remembers her family, ever so vaguely, and kinda resents them for naming her Bebe,
among other things, but finds the memories of her childhood increasingly fuzzy,
and sometimes, downright wrong, with strange conflicting details, such playing
in the snow in the backyard, and tracing her fingers along frost-patterns, and
the wood-stove in the corner, despite *also* remembering growing up in Florida
and not ever really seeing snow...
She is afraid that all of the memories that she has been
leeching off of her victims is beginning to confuse her own true memories, but
the truth is far more sinister.
In any event, she's appears as a lithe young woman in her
late teens or early 20s, who wears far too much mascara and affects a 'goth' look, even when it is increasingly out of fashion.
Her eyes are dark brown, almost black, but when she is actively detecting
life-force, which she can choose not to, but rarely does, they burn like ruddy
coals, so she usually wears shades to conceal this 'feature.' Her brown and
white hair is dyed flat black and spiked upwards, and her skin is pale from a
life lived entirely at night, frequenting any sort of hotspots where she can
'score some action.'
She is a common sight in these venues, and many a man
remembers her as being a 'sure thing,' although they often find themselves
instinctively shying away from a second taste, since they may have forgotten,
but their bodies remember the toll her last visit took upon them, and muscle
memories never forget. When she finds a sucker to take her home, she never lets
him past first base, engaging her mutant power in the form of a crimson blade
of energy that extends from her fingertips. Thrusting this blade into the
unsuspecting would-be suitor, she taps into his life-energies, draining them
into herself and giving her a rush like no other. At the same time, she often
connects to his mind, removing all memories of how their little tryst ended,
leaving her romeo unconscious on the bed while she
helps herself to whatever is in his fridge, and watches TV until near sunrise,
when she saunters out, fed and sated.
She has developed the ability to fling these blades of
energy at people, but they lack the intensity that she can bring to bear at
touch range, and they do not convey any sort of vital essence to her, only
causing it to 'leak out' and be lost. She has recently discovered that her
'blades' seem to affect machinery as well, draining energy from them as readily
as a living target, much to her surprise, but she has become pyschologically addicted to the whole process of hunting
and feeding and preying upon the minds and bodies of her victims, thinking of
herself as some form of vampire, that her actions are necessary and that she
will die if she does not 'feed' in this manner. As a result of this belief, she
hasn't yet really processed the notion that she can drain a car battery to the
same effect, and never actually 'hunt' people again.
She encountered her best friend 'Wolfpack'
(whom she calls 'Beth' in her mind, but Wolfpack
doesn't acknowledge the need for a human name, when they aren't in mixed
company) in the woods, hunting a deer. With her enhanced senses, she felt the deers life-energies dwinding as
the wolves made the kill, dragging it to the ground and choking the life from
it before beginning to feed. The wolves only belatedly became aware of the
silent witness, and backed off, surprised that anyone had 'snuck up on them,'
(which actually Sanguine hadn't, she'd been standing there the whole time, and Wolfpack was too absorbed in the hunt and kill to notice
her on the ridge). A snarling threat display turned violent when Sanguine began
to chuck blades of energy at the approaching wolves, and Wolfpack
had taken her to the ground when a blade of energy sliced linked their minds
sufficiently for Sanguine to realize that she was fighting a living person, not
a group of animals. Wolfpack was similarly stunned,
as a part of her mind, a sixth of her current self, was drawn forth into
Sanguine, forming the beginnings of a permanent Mental Link between the two
girls.
