Angelika Domitus Schnur

House Criamon has been down on its luck for centuries. For some reason, most mages don't want to join the House that slips into Quiet regularly and claims it's a good thing. Angelika has decided that she's going to be the one to change that. She's determined to bring the Red King's Revenge back under Criamon rule (and incidentally, hers), to restore it to a new Spring, and to use it as a springboard for bringing her House back to the ranks of the major Houses.

Her results, however, have been minimal, as she hasn't even secured an apprentice yet.

Appearance
Angelika is a tall woman, standing 5'9" and most people would call her a bit overweight, though few would do so to her face. She has the confidence of someone who knows that she can handle anything thrown at her, and has perfected the 'don't fuck with me' walk. It absolutely doesn't hurt that she most often wears a tank top, when the weather permits it, and shows off her tattoos, and she has a lot of them. Almost every inch above her wrists and below her neck is tattooed in some way, and people swear that the tattoos are different periodically.

History
Angelika grew up in Kansas City as an only child fascinated by riddles. By the time she was a teenager she was playing with lateral thinking puzzle books and strange pen and paper games with the few friends she had. At some point, she came across a copy of Oracle: the Essence in a bargain bin and fell in love.

It contrasted with the World of Shadows games she'd seen before by being almost stubbornly hopeful about the world, particularly by claiming it to be almost infinitely mutable. Her first tattoo was of the symbol the book gave to magick, and she would annoy her friends by asking questions like "If Reality depends on people believing in it, then how did the first people come into existence?" and other esoteric questions that Oracle raised.

In her attempts to find the answers, the Primer Awakened her, and she was soon found by the Order of Hermes. Her mentor was disappointed but not surprised when she joined House Criamon at the end of her apprenticeship, allowing her to focus on the unanswerable riddles that she so enjoys.

Relationships
Viribus Mercurius - She is gunning for his job, so the two of them butt heads a lot, but many see it as almost a mentor/mentee relationship, just more antagonistic than most.

Zuleika Souad Ali - Apparently Zuleika, who Angelika calls Julie, is a former roommate. They are not on great terms.
