Shayla is a character I have RP'd in two diffrent story's before, I just move her along to the next story.   She is a serious poet, and writer, who has a no nonsense attitude towards the people around her.

Shayla never did get much background work.  She originally was embraced by a male vampire, in Indiana.  Shortly afterwards he died, leaving her no one to teach her.  Lucky for her a kind Torreador found her and taught her what she needed to know, and also taught her how to survive.  However, who was the Torreador who taught her?  He told Shayla that his name was Bonsai, but no one she ever talked to knew who he was.  Some just dismissed her story as that of a young vampire, or of a grief-ridden tale.  Everyone forgot about it, and Shayla never spoke of it again.

I haven't played Shayla in over a year now, she's kind of a dormant character.  I still have her stats sheet, which is  right here .  You need the VtMchar program to be able to read it correctly.  I can't remember where they are.
