Physical Description
Gender Female (she/her)
Apparent Age 20s

Willow Reed is an urban artist and explorer who is part of the Wardens werewolf pack but spends most of her time doing her own thing. She was an art student until her First Change lead to her dropping out and going to ground. Jack Crow found her when she was trying to understand the whole new world she was dealing with and recruited into the Wardens to keep her and the herd safe. She appreciates the pack but has always been independent and took to urban exploration as a way to deal with endless uratha energy, plumbing new places to decorate with her tags and fell in with the Vault Rangers to have a comparatively normal social network and to keep an eye on them.

Willow's art usually takes the form of stylised neon landscapes and symbolic objects without any words on them, vaporwave/witch-house art in graffiti form. Stylised wolves and moon imagery abound with uratha glyphs rendered in spray paint rather than clawstrokes. She is responsible for most of the grafitti art that decorates Dekker Street Station, especially the memorial wall.

Description

Whipcord lean and tan, dark hair undercut. Wears hard-wearing denims and hoodies, all well-patched and reinforced in places for urban exploration and concealing identity.

Storytelling Hints

Willow is acerbic and sharp-tongued but rarely unfair with her words. She is very slow to let anyone see beyond her prickly exterior and has no time for fools or people who need babied.

Blood & Bone: Gremlin and Lone Wolf. Willow is a one-wolf wrench in any system she takes offence to.

Chronicles

Under A Killing Moon

Willow is part of the pack who took in the four dream-haunted nuzusul, though she continues to remain at the periphery of pack activities except when it suits her otherwise. She was present when Atlas, Jerome and Michael completed their Rites of Passage and swore the Oath of the Moon, and sparred some with Jerome during the week when the three were licking their wounds after clashing with Campbell.

Connections

  • The Wardens: Member of the pack. As close as she can be to a group, but still likes her own space.
  • Vault Rangers: Nominally a member, mostly to keep an eye on them and distract them from where they should not go.
  • Miri: One of the Vault Rangers. It's complicated. Willow is trying to distract her from Dekker Street as nonlethally as possible.

Abilities

  • Urban Explorer (7 dice, 9-Again): Talented at the urban wastelands of Blackmouth through a combination of athleticism, stealth and bravura.
  • Guerilla Artist (6 dice, 9-Again): Skilled grafitti artist with a knack for getting into places she should not be
