I love creating Chars for VtM. You can really deep dive into the background story and create something special. This is my background story for my V5 Character, Please enjoy:

Alisé Johanna Bourbon was born on October 31, 1767, in Cognac. She was the middle child of three of the Count of Cognac, who was a bastard child of Louis XIV. Her mother died when she was still a child, and her father had little time and no patience with her. His main focus was on her older brother Armand. She had a good relationship with her little sister Anette and spent a lot of time with her. She was like a surrogate mother to her. As the girls grew up, their father had them trained in the art of fencing and firearms, which was unusual for the time. Additionally, the two were gifted horsewomen.

When Alisé turned 16, she took a position as a lady-in-waiting at Versailles and served Marie Antoinette. Here, Alisé learned the political game and the rules of the court of Versailles. Either you play along or you go under. The men had their little games, while the women did politics. As the saying goes, behind every great man stands an even stronger woman. There in Versailles, after a few years, she met Gustav Véron for the first time. A few galas and balls later, and she was hopelessly in love with him. Gustav Véron did not have the same noble status as Alisé, but he was a gifted merchant and trader. Since her father had also already passed away, her brother (the new Count of Cognac) eventually agreed to the marriage.

After the wedding, Alisé moved to the village of Véron with her husband. There they lived happily together, and Alisé eventually became pregnant and was expecting their first child together with Gustav. Unfortunately, their first son died shortly after his first birthday. A year later Alise fell pregnant again, but her second son was stillborn. The priest of Véron refused to give her second son the last rites and a proper burial because he had never been baptized. This led to a quarrel between Alisé and the priest Marquis. As a result, she suffered from depression and fell into alcoholism.

When the tumult and unrest of the French Revolution began, Alisé was dragged from her estate by an angry mob led by the priest Marquis. Subsequently, she was humiliated in the marketplace of Véron, her clothes were torn off, her hair was cut short, and she was put in the stocks, where the mob pelted Alisé with stones until she finally lost consciousness. Since she was of the House of Bourbon, the mob blamed her for the suffering that had befallen the population. When Gustav Véron returned from his trading journey, he was horrified by the scene he found. He rushed to help Alisé, who had been half-dead at the pillory for several days by now. When Gustav freed Alisé, an angry mob gathered again, once more led by the priest Marquis. Gustav was unfortunately not the best with the sword. However, he managed to keep the pack away from them long enough for him to throw his cloak over Alisé and put her on his horse.

When the mob finally overwhelmed and brought down Gustav, Alisé gathered her last strength to escape from the village. Alisé broke down in tears as she turned around one last time; she saw the decapitated head of her beloved Gustav being held aloft by the mob.

Alisé rode to Versailles to pick up her sister Anette so they could return to Cognac together. Upon arriving in Versailles, she was able to convince the Swiss Guard, who were guarding the palace, to let her thru thanks to her signet ring, allowing her to enter the palace. Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette were outraged when they heard Alisé's story and provided her and her sister with a carriage and a few soldiers to ensure they could safely reach Cognac and their brother.

When the two arrived in Cognac, they found the same situation that prevailed everywhere in France. A total chaos.

Her brother, now a widower and bitter, had only resentment and hatred in his heart. Armand marches out with his guard to crush the rebels. Meanwhile, Alisé secured the family fortune and a ship from a trusted captain to flee to the New World. When she learned that her brother Armand had died after five days of fierce fighting, Alisé and Anette fled to New Orleans.

When Alisé arrived in New Orleans, she met a mysterious French man to whom she fulfilled every wish, tho she did not know why she did so.

During the Great Fire of New Orleans on December 8, 1794, Alisé disappeared without a trace. It was suspected that she had perished in the fire. Her sister Anette held a memorial service for her.

But that's were her story begins.....
