Physical Description: A tall woman, standing at 5’10”, which is aided by her tendency to wear either stilettos heels or platform boots, Kameo has pale skin and long black hair which is always kept in impeccable condition and she prefers to have it loose and straight but has it up in a bun whilst working and will also change it as appropriate for formal gatherings, be it a collection of loose curls or an intricate up do. She has striking dark eyes, preferring to keep them darkly shadowed and made up most of the time. She has a fine, almost delicate facial structure, fine bones and high cheekbones, something she uses to the best of her advantage, people are less likely to suspect a shrewd negotiator and powerful mage beneath a delicate front. Slender bodied, with long legs and a modest bust she pulls of most looks well, be it an elegant evening gown to a suit, most often preferring the ‘corporate goth’ look for business.
Personality: Kameo keeps up a front of the cool calculating femme fatale at all times, sarcasm and dark humour also present. She plays the part exceeding well, having practised it since her early teens, usually coming off as a bitch to those who don’t know her particularly well. She has to be very comfortable with you to lower the front and reveal the world weary, some what jaded, thrill seeking and at times insecure woman that lurks beneath.
History: The only child of her property tycoon father’s second marriage, after her mother’s death when she was 5 Kameo was raised with an army of nannies and everything a child could want, except the attention of her father who had quickly moved on to marriage number three. She was schooled at an exclusive English all girls boarding school, the source of her clipped English accent even though her first language in German; it takes a great shock, surprise or large amounts of alcohol for her to revert back to her German accent or even speak in the language.
It was at school she first anglosized her last name, deciding Duskmantle was more romantic the literal translation of Nightcloak. She excelled at History and Economics, also playing on the hockey team. Her first interest in the occult came from a friend who dabbled with magick and invited Kameo to join her, quickly finding she was talented at the manipulation of light and shadows, Noctomancy.
She went to Cambridge, getting a degree in History, studying her craft all the while. After graduating she returned home to Germany, living at home for a short while, not getting on at all with wife number 4 who attempted to get Kameo to enter society, now that she’d finished her education it was apparently her job to go to parties and find a nice rich man to marry.
Disagreeing with this assessment of her life, Kameo moved away to establish her own business, taking a couple of her father’s watches as her start up capital. Starting up a small antiques shop was fun at first but soon Kameo became bored with running her business. And quickly so did meddling with the politics of the Mage’s Council. And so she decided to get thrills another way, breaking and entering into museums, galleries, private homes, stealing art, priceless jewelery, anything that was guarded by state of the art security systems. The pieces usually found undisturbed, with a small note saying they needed better security. And this is how she continues, running her shop by day, master thief by night.
