Nora Quinn
Played by: Boujee
If you ever find yourself in a fight, especially one with the odds stacked against you, you might find yourself wishing you had Nora Deirdre Quinn by your side. The Irish Brujah came to the city with her younger sister, the Gangrel Eve, to find their brother, the Caitiff Patrick. The youngest Quinn had been MIA for a couple of months. With Baltimore's infamous affinity for Apocalypses, the two women expected the worst. After finding Patrick, discovering their nerdy little brother had become a bit of a bad boy and street racer during his stay in the city, the Black Sheep Quinns found themselves in trouble after taking a bribe from some mages to break the Masquerade in exchange for boosts to their power.
The three Quinns briefly went on the run before surrendering themselves to the Queen's judgment in the hope of surviving. They didn't get off easy, being pressed into the Seneschal's service to act as enforcers for the Queen's laws. Having spent most of her unlife as a bounty hunter and enforcer for hire, Nora took to the assignment warmly. She patrols the Old Town area, now promoted to leading a team consisting of fifteen women, with three of them fellow vampires. Nora also works closely with one of Baltimore's Archons, Count Lucien Corbin. She accompanies him on some assignments elsewhere in the city.
Nora's only Childe is her brother Patrick, a Caitiff, and her coterie consists of the three siblings. She is also friends with Lucien, a Mokole named Corvina Jager , and sees the Seneschal, Corinthia Banner, almost as a maternal figure. Her girlfriend is Dr. Arianna Lupei, Dracula's Childe and heir. The two women are among the few unproblematic couples in the city; both devoted to the other. Nora may be reckless, coarse, and at times inappropriate, but she's fiercely loyal to those she loves.

Personal history
Nora and her two younger siblings, Eve and Patrick, grew up in a rough neighborhood in Dublin, Ireland. Early life was especially harsh for them, the Quinn family being poor and their parents undeserving of that title. Their mom was never affectionate, barely even acknowledging her children, and left when Patrick was only two, Eve was six, and Nora was 10. Their father was a raging alcoholic and an abusive asshole, spending much of his time drinking or beating on his three children. Nora, seeking to keep the worst from her younger siblings, would intentionally antagonize Niall in his rages, causing him to turn his fists onto her instead. Despite this, Niall hated Patrick, especially for being nerdy and weak, raging over the slightest offenses. Nora finally snapped one day when their dad broke Patrick's arm in a drunken rage. 16-year-old Nora jumped Niall and beat him to death.
As the oldest, Nora took to the streets to earn money for the three to survive. She joined a local gang where her controlled temper and affinity for violence allowed her to rise through the ranks. What money she made Nora used to provide for her younger siblings. The three Quinns would stay together in this manner until their paths split when Nora went off to join the Old IRA and fight in the Irish War of Independence. Her fiery passion but cool head under fire caught the eye of an Irish Brujah, Seamus Gallagher. He Embraced Nora and inducted her into the ranks of the Brujah as an enforcer and bounty hunter, both for supernatural and mundane groups. Eight years later, she reunited with her siblings. She discovered that Eve had been turned by a Gangrel four years after they split, which resulted in all three being 26 years old biologically. Not wishing for them to lose Patrick to time, and herself being a thin-blood and unable to sire, it was decided that Nora would turn their brother. It was some time before they noticed that the youngest Quinn was, in fact, a Caitiff, resulting in Nora trying to protect both her siblings from vampire Society.
The Coterie split shortly after an event in Boston where Eve was captured and tortured by the Camarilla. She diablerized the one who tortured her, eventually moving on and becoming an Ahrimane. Patrick likewise split from them, seeking to find his path and somewhere he could be whoever he wanted to be, free from persecution. While the siblings remained in contact over the years, Nora found herself lonely and miserable without them. With Patrick falling out of touch, Nora jumped at the chance to rescue her brother, notifying Eve to come to help her.
Once in the city, the sensual and flirtatious Brujah struck up a romance with Dr. Arianna Lupei. She also had a brief fling with a werelizard, Corvina Jager, which faded into a simple friendship. She and Aria's relationship briefly had a rocky moment when Nora went on the run with her siblings. The three siblings had accepted a deal with two mages Mary and Steven Williams, to break the Masquerade on camera in exchange for enhanced power. As reckless as ever, Nora thought nothing of throwing a car three city blocks while on camera, and Eve demonstrated her ability to shift into a wolf. After turning themselves into the Queen, the Queen used her impressive Dominate abilities to order Nora to kill Eve's surviving grandson. The younger Quinns responded by later that night staking Nora to get the grandson to safety, faking his death. They then sought to find someone with the ability to erase the compulsion from Nora's mind.
After successfully doing so and unstaking her, Nora briefly had Aria alter her appearance until things calmed down enough, and the mainstream media forgot about her antics. Now, Nora is in service to the Seneschal as her enforcer, leading a team of women called the Gorgons.

History
There are only two people Eve trusts in this world: Nora and Patrick, her siblings. She is fiercely protective of them, but also wants to keep her shit as her shit and is often stand offish or lies to them out of a misguided attempt to keep them out of the line of fire from her own fucked up mind. Nora can't help but play the protective older sister, and is constantly having to pull Eve out of whatever funk she's gotten herself into (Eve is far less mentally stable than her sister, so this happens far too often).
Nicknames & Petnames
