DERANGEMENTS:
Personality Disorder: Jorun, a personification of when she was mortal, and a darker side, which is still being developed (The Nameless One).

Intolerance of Mental Tampering: Finding out someone was tampered with, causes her to near frenzy, and become violently angry. (probably not a true derangement, but i didn't know where else to stick it.)
HISTORY:
Autumn was born September 17, 1745, under the name of Jorun Furuholmen, in a small village near, Oslo, Norway. Born into a family of powerful witches, she began her training in the art of witchcraft, from the time she could walk and talk. By the time she was 7, she excelled at everything she was taught. She was taught such things as: candle making, soap making, leather crafting, how to read runes, how to heal with herbs, how to grow and plant, and many other things. By the time she was 8, she had learned the basics of everything that her family could teach her. It was thought that the magic just came naturally to her.
The next two years were pretty uneventful, she spent her time hoaning her skills, and playing. On her 10th birthday, she left home, to be trained by the most powerful witch in the country. She lived with her mentor for six years, until she had learned and surpassed the talents of her teacher, perfecting what she could. Once finished with her training she went home.
Now one of the most powerful witches in the country, she began recieving requests. The next two years were busy. She was called on by kings and Queens, and other high officals. Many often overlooking the fact that anything other than Christianity was considered to be Devil worship. Often they were desperate. She always helped anyone who needed it, no matter what.
Despite those facts, she always came home. Her father was the head of the small village. She helped her mother take care of her very sick younger sister. Her two brothers had their own homes and families. It gave her much pride to say that she could help and spend time with them.
Her small village seemed to resist the spread of Christianity. Mostly because her Father would take take control of the situation. He would give the Monks that came to them, food and a night to rest. The next morning they'd be escorted to the borders of the village, by the warriors of the village. It was always done in a polite, but threatening mannor.
About a month after her 18th birthday, she went on an overnight sojourn to gather some much needed herbs and roots. Unknowing, that she was being watched by a very powerful vampire, she went alone. The vampire, Lady Kier Navakov, a russian Malkavian, followed Autumn. Forceably claming her, Lady Nabakov, dominated her mind. Autumn confused and believing to be Tremere, never went though the madness.
Autumn was wisked away to a remote castle in Germany, and locked away. She tried to excape, but was brought back several times, by Lady Navakov's Nosferatu bodyguards. Autumn soon learned that when a Nosferatu wanted to find something, they found it. After her last escape attempt, Autumn was locked away in the dungeons.
Living in the dungeon, she was alone. She never saw anyone except her sire, who kept dominating her mind more and more, and the ocassional ghouled servant. The servants provided her with the viate she needed to survive, usually in a chalice. The only friends she had were the mice and the rats that also resided there.
236 years after her embrace, she was found by a sympathetic unghouled servant, who did not care for Lady Navakov. Helping Autumn escape and buy the necessary things needed, she sent her to the United States. The city of Necropolis to be exact.
On her arrival, she was lost and confused. Not having any money, she lived in the crypts at the cemetery. Asking around she found out the proper ways of the city. That she needed to present her self to her Clan elders, and to the Prince. She immediately did so. Sill unknowing of her true clan, she presented herself as Clan Tremere.
Eventually she got over her shyness, and unease, and made many friends to the dismay of the Tremere. She also fell in love, and tried to hide it from her clan, knowing that such emotions were frowned upon. She was found out, and brought to Regent Altier. Regent Altier baffled to her behavior, did a blood test. The results were that she was of Clan Malkavian, not Tremere.
Regent Altier promptly erased her mind of the domination, and of any clan knowledges and disciplines she knew, but not of her friends or of her past, amazingly enough. Free of her domination, she was free to explore her true nature for the first time. She did so, and continued making friends. Not long after, she went through the madness that had been repressed for so long. Surviving it, she lived happily with her love David Staufer, until things went wrong.
Unable to handle the attention from other males, they often kissed her, despite protests. As she had be heavily protected by her family, she just didn't know what to do. That caused her and David to fight. He seemed to forget her innocence, and her nieveity.
After he was captured by the Sabbat, she begain working desperately through her pain of not having him, to get him set free. Once he was free, things just got worse. He locked himself away, and a night when she was lost in a derangement, she fed from another Kindred, upon doing so, which he felt, he left her. She not remembering what happened, was crushed.
If it was not for her friends, pushing her, she would have died, or went into a very long topor. She refused to feed, denied on what she was hooked on most, David's blood. She became almost ill at feeding. She couldn't sleep, she refused to function.
Thinking the woods might help her, she recieved permission from Jarl Powyll, to enter Swope Park. Once there, she began renewing old friendships with several of the Gangrel clan, whom she had not seen in awhile. Though some of the clan were wary of her. She was Malkavian after all. She also came across Hawk.
Hawk and Autumn had a strange relationship. She persued him, while with David, mostly to flirt and tease him. He ran, in his shyness, causing her to persue him more, out of curiosity. When the Gangrel moved to Swope, she lost contact with him.
Upon finding him again, he begain in his own way, to try to get her on her feet. Between him and her other friends, she began to get better, to have a renewed spark in unlife. She also found her heart, drifting in his direction, and strangely, his to her. They begans seeing each other, and it soon became clear, that this odd couple, worked very well. They seemed to compliment each other, and add to one another.
She became his mate, and in that strikes a fear in other men's harts. His icy cold glare, and overly calm demeanor, sends shivers down their spines. They learn to leave well enough alone. Being far more understanding than David, Hawk and Autumn had a relationships with BJ Miller, who lived with them, and Rori Windwalker. Hawk's Childe, Kaylie, seems to fit in there somewhere as well, for him.
She was happier then, except for a few things that plagued her thoughts. She continued making friends, helping people, and maintaining her duties as Malk Clan Enforcer.
Autumn became a force to be reckoned with. She became friends with the Primogens of the Nosferatu, Brujah, Toreador, the Jarl of the Gangrel, and even the head of the Catiff. She never made much headway with the Ventrue, and the Trememe, were Tremere.
Yet, that didn't stop her from having friends in each of the clans. Many of them elders, or ones in high positions. Autumn didn't seek them out for that, she was just good at making friends. She earned their respect and trust. In helping them with various problems, she also emassed many boons, for her unselfish acts.
After a couple of months, she was approached by Magus Vanyel Astin. When she was asked by him, to become one of his deputy Sheriffs. She accepted, only to find that the Malk primogen and whip, were pressuring Magus Astin, to take another as his deputy. She also at this time, became under severe mental stress. In that time, Magus Astin felt it best to take the other as his deputy.
Upon finding out that she lost it due to the pressuring of the Primogen. She was, in the least, very mad. She promptly contacted him, and let him know her feelings on this matter. In an attempt to patch things up, he contacted the new Keeper of the Esylium, Regent Clare Altier, about Autumn becoming one of her Deputy Keepers. She got the job.
Happier then, always doing her duties as Deputy Keeper, and spending time with Hawk, and their loves, and taking care of her numerous animals. She continued day to day, with little difficulty. Until she found out the plan of her Primogen, to find and tamper with the minds of the DevilDogs. They were supposed to be adopted into the clan, but instead were to be used for strong arms and protection, after the mind alterations.
Unknowing to her, she took the tapes of this to the Prince, only to find out, all access codes were changed, and the tapes blank. Having no proof, the Primogen was not punished. SHe also told the Leader of the DevilDogs. She was removed from the Asylium, for a month as her punishment. The Primogen believing that everyone deserves a second chance.
During this time, the Primogen and Whip, and others started pointing out that she had never been, nor ever would be Malkavian. This hurt her deeply, being deined her blood. What she was, and what she felt inside.
Around the time of that month being up, the Primongen committed suicide. Him and Autumn were becoming friends again, on some level, and started talking at times. This struck a blow with her, and while mourning him, she was confronted by the new Primogen, about her return to the Asylum.
To her shock and horror, the new Primogen accused her of giving clan and camarilla information to a garou. She denied it, knowing it not to be true. The current Sheriff gave testimony on this, as he was with her when she was talking to her friend. The Prince was called in. She was immediately locked up in NormSec, his business, where she was kept for about three months. She was hurt by what had been done, and was sick and disgusted. She felt she was forced away, no longer wanted. She was never one to walk away from her family, no matter what. She felt she wasn't given any choice in the matter. She went "anarch", though to her the name had no meaning, other than it was a very bad name put on her.
Despite this seperation from her family, she continued to help them. No matter what was needed, weather she'd be hurt or not. As long as they ended up safe, thats all she cared about. She'd never turn down anyone who needed help.
The new Primogen was disturbing. Auttie knew very disturbing things about her. When her an Autumn were "friends", she'd torture her. Literally. She once was nearly exploded by her and her lover. Autumn, from swope, did what she could to help her family from the menace that was their leader.
There was a new prince. An old friend of Autumn's. Auttie took to following her when she could. She once met with her in the cover of darkness, despite being banned from the city, and told her what she knew. The malkavian primogen was created. She was sabbat, masquerading as Camarilla. It was just a small step in helping rid the clan of the menace that pagued them.
After her lock-up at NormSec, she found that Hawk and her were drfiting apart. She didn't seem to hold his attention anymore. He did teach her better skills with her dagger, though. She worked hard to bring up her skill level, even managing to help in battle against an infernalist with it.
Not long after that, her and Hawk grew further and further apart. He spent most of his time with Rori, or locked away in his workroom, leaving her to her own devices. She grew sad, distant, and very hurt. Finally she let him go. She broke off the relationship, and wandered around lost and hurt, sleeping where she could find.
In the middle of all of this, the current Primogen was taken from power and destroyed. A new one stepped in. A dear old friend of Autumn's. Harlequin sought out Auttie. He made it clear that he wanted her back. That he needed her in the clan. He had been watching. He knew the work she was doing to help those in the clan. He made sure she knew, that he knew that.
Somewhere in all of this mess, she met Jacob again. Jacob was a ghoul to someone else. His domitor left the city and left him behind. He remembered her. She never thought that ghouls were beneath her, always treated them as equals. He came to her. He was going to die. Auttie got permission right then and there from both the Prince and her Primogen to first make him her ghoul, then make him her childe.
Another Gangrel, built her a very small log cabin, on a few parcels of land. A home she could call her own. She started a small shop, selling items that she's makes, based on what she learned as a child. Jacob was a great help on paperwork.
She spent a lot of time at Swope Park still. Although she was hurting from Hawk, she wouldn't leave friends again. Although if Rori or Hawk was in the main place the Gangrel gathered, she would sit outside of it, in the woods, and would just listen. Of course it would piss him off, but she didn't care.
A Gangrel had been watching her from afar. He noticed her pain. He sent his ghouled wolf in to break the ice. It was not hard to notice that Auttie loved animals. As she had a ghouled chipmunk that always seemed to be hiding in her hair, or the mice she kept in her pockets.
They became friends. They'd take long walks, and talked. They'd goof around, and he showed her something. Hawk was always cold and standoffish to her friends. He always acted above everyone. Thorliev the Wolf, was different. He treated all of Auttie's friends with respect. Her whole clan, in fact. Even if he didn't like them, he'd at least show Auttie respect, by interacting with them.
Their friendship grew slowly. They took their time. Eventually, they fell for each other. They were the perfect compliment for each other. They took the relationship slowly. Took some time to really get to know one another. He moved in with Auttie in her cabin. Though he could earthmeld, he decided he'd stay with her.
In October, Thorliev and Autumn were handfasted, with Morgan presiding as the Godia. Thorliev left for business about a week after the ceremony. It left Autumn dispondant, and impatient for his return. She threw herself into helping her clan, the gangrel, and her shop. She was always busy, and had little time to think about Thor not being there.
She nearly became primogen twice within her clan. She had the influence, and the backing of most of the other clans, including the Tremere. That backing had little baring inside the clan though. Most saw her as more Gangrel than Malkavian. Most didn't understand what that could have done for the clan.
She was denyed both times, but the last Primogen made her Liason to the Gangrel. An ambassador of sorts. It was the perfect choice, considering the Jarl considered Autumn to be Gangrel in all ways but blood. She was also named Clan Lore Keeper and Elder. Her life centered on friends, love, and standing beside her two clans.
Then Necropolis became under attack of a foul creature. In the end it destroyed the whole of the city. Autumn moved with Thor and his childe Shianna, to Detroit. She wasn't comfortable there. She didn't like the city. It wasn't home to her. She stayed for her mate.
Due to her lack of focus in the city, she was barely aware of her mate and childe leaving. Until she thought one of her pet mice ran away. She deicded to follow it. She took all of her animals to help. She travelled a long way. Mostly on foot. Until she found herself in a new place. LA, to be exact. Most likely it was due to the bonding of her mate. The call of the blood, and needing to be with him that brought her out. In her mind, it was the mouse. She'll be surprised to find them there.
She thought she spotted her lost mouse (really it was probably back home under the furniture), go into a strange building. A spider museum of sorts, but all of the spiders were alive. There she encountered a strange man, by the name of Dr. Adrian Malcom. He prefered to work with his spiders.
Concerned about him, as he rarely showered or ate, she decided he needed her help. He decided he didn't need anyone. She found a long lost friend in the city, who helped her break in so she could give him some food. Unfortunately things soon got out of hand.
Her friend's derangement, made her think that Adrian was someone else. Coming back with her ghoul to question him. Auttie was bringing a present by to leave on his doorstep, when she saw the door was open. She heard the yelling, and one of them punched him. She came up to defend him.
She made them back off, and she made them back away. While she tended to Adrian, they went downstairs. They began feeding. Auttie tried to stop him from going down, but didn't get there in time. He saw what was going on. Instead of letting him end up being destroyed, she took the only other option she could. She ghouled him.
A new city, a new ghoul, a new ghoul, a new life, with old friends, her mate, his childe. Hopefully this new city will work out, as Detroit never did. Hopefully she'll come to find this place home.
