History
Date of Birth: July 18th, 1982
Home: Palermo, Sicily, Italy
Family: Speranzio and Sofronia Volante (parents), Ennio (older brother), Cecco (younger brother)
Death: Personal Tragedy (as a wealthy and perhaps spoiled daughter of an old Sicilian mob family, she expected to be married off to a "gentleman" of repute, and found herself with a "direct descendant" of Il Confessore; they moved to America together, where he ghouled her and let her in on his secret of being Kindred; she accepted it and loved him faithfully, though her spoiled attitude only became worse with the infusion of vitae; during a mutual argument, Rutger lost control and the Brujah elder killed his beloved young wife, sorrowfully burying her in his mansion's courtyard), 2009
Mentor: The Mask
The Test: Trial by Influence (Masquers, who dominated the wraithly politics of the necropolis, Reaped her and taught her the basics of the Underworld, yet she barely afforded them attention, for she was single-minded in somehow returning to the Skinlands)
Comrades: Rutger Aurelius, Lucretia Priore Giovanni, Deimens Tors
Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (through sheer will and desire over the course of three years, Nicia managed to Rise all on her own, reanimating her body and digging out of the grave Rutger dug her)
Key Event #2: Personal Tragedy (she confronted her husband, prepared to somehow punish him savagely for his frenzied murder of her, but upon finding him still in deep grief for her loss, she forgave him)
Transition: Shift in Purpose (puzzled but overjoyed by her return, Rutger welcomed her, and they rekindled their marriage and fiery romance; Nicia settled back into this wealthy and elite life, now brought closer into Rutger's affairs and circle of Kindred friends)
The Shadow
Appearance: The devil on Nicia's shoulder is pure hunger, greed, and pain. It seems like it ought to be easy to ignore, but so many things make her angry enough to listen...
Trigger: Whenever it sees the chance to better her and itself through the destruction of another.
Aurelius Residence (Haunt)
Location: Rolling Hills, Kansas City, Missouri, United States
Structure: Mansion
Stock: A grand mansion with numerous spare rooms (and a spacious master bedroom she often shares with her husband); most windows are heavily curtained, but she hardly minds. The opulence of it all compensates.
Traits: Haunt 5
Significant Other
Name: Rutger Aurelius, 2001
Nature: Volatile
Rutger
Weakness
Italian Temper
Nicia isn't quite as cliché as some might assume, that she's a "fiery" Italian dame. Whatever angry temperament she has shown has always been a consequence of first Brujah blood being fed to her, then the travails of her spiteful Shadow. The clichés write themselves, whether she wants them or not.
Likelihood of Corruption
Average.
Her willfulness is both benefit and bane.
