Information Known by Kindred Society
Augustine is still relatively new to Kindred life, having been embraced 3 years ago. Alot of this time, 2 years in fact, she spent away from most other kindred, studying her new condition. This happened after a falling out with her Sire in Sydney, an event that is rarely spoken about. Augustine returned to the Sydney court in early October, 2006. She quickly found a place amongst the members of the court, being a voice for both her clan and her covenant.
Augustine seems to swing between whispering and speaking quite loudly. She whispered for four months after her return to court, but one night, immediately after finding out her Sire had left the Invictus for the Lancea Sanctum, Augustine started to speak quite loudly. She has very recently gone back to whispering. She did seem to find a happy medium for a while there, but all the death recently seems to have robbed her of her voice
Augustine is a member of a very close-knit family. The Skadhi's seem to have lost alot of members recently though. There is talk though that Nasya and Auggie are looking at rebuilding the family.
Augustine is a very social Nosferatu. She makes sure to try and talk to everyone, and make them feel as welcome as they can. She is very rarely seen sitting on her own. This has often gotten her in trouble, for saying the wrong thing to the wrong people, but she has gradually learnt the different ways to talk to different people. She can often be seen trash talking with the Carthians, only moments after talking with great respect to an Alder of the Invictus, an hour after talking science jargon with a Dragon.
Augustine has always very vocal about her dislike for the Lancea Sanctum. This has been attributed to many sources, and she seems to have taken her Sire's joining the Covenant as quite a blow. This dislike aside, she seemed to get along quite well with Bishop, and fellow Nosferatu Isobel Harker, going so far as to wear the Bishop's Rosary after she met final death. Auggie's dislike of the Sanctified seems almost as vehement as her hatred of the Carthian movement, something she declares loudly and often, getting herself in trouble more than a few times.
During her time amongst the Sydney court, Augustine briefly took on wardship of a gangrel named Tara. A named Diablerist, and Gangrel who seemed quite close to her beast, almost feral, Augustine fought long and hard to try and civilize the girl, and seemed quite distraught when she was told the news of Tara's demise.
Anyone who has spent time around Augustine knows that being around her makes your skin crawl. Touching her, or having her touch you makes your skin feel as though it is trying to crawl right off of your body. This doesn't seem to have stopped any of her suitors though, who seem to stem mostly from the Gangrel and the Daeva, oddly enough.
Augustine always wears a collar and a chain. In fact, she has been lead around court by it by certain members of her family, when they were bored. There is often whispers about just who put the collar about her neck. And it has changed, over her requiem. Original simple black leather, there was briefly a black leaher band with the House Strife emblem on it that followed that, then another one with what appeared to be claw marks, and now a red suede collar.
Augustine has visible scars that she refuses to heal. Visible claw marks are on the left side of her face, and when she wears a corset without a shirt underneath it, you can see claw marks on her back. These aren't the only scars the girl bears. It is rumored that she keeps one from every lover. There is a straight in the centre of her chest, and an M over her heart. There is also two different sets of bite marks, one in her shoulder, the other in her neck.
Augustine openly admits to having the same religious beliefs as the Circle of the Crone. Which is different to when she first came into the court and said she believed in God. When asked who she worships, she often just smiles oddly. Despite this, she is often heard arguing religion with members of the sanctified, with all the passion and knowledge of someone trained in theology.
Augustine has only introduced one of her childer to a court herself, and that is Rachel, the second youngest of her childer. Augustine bought Rachel to court in Sydney. This was the first anyone heard of her having childer, although, if you talk to her about it these days, she will confess to having a few childer, scattered about the place.
For a few months, Augustine introduced herself to people as Augustine Strife. She was, briefly adopted as a member of House Strife. There are a few rumors about why she left, but she doesn't seem too willing to discuss it outside of the Strife family, and even some of them seem to be confused.
Late in 2006, Augustine moved from Sydney to Melbourne, where she was quickly named Nosferatu Priscus. There have been many rumors about why she moved. Some say she knew about the DCU, others claim she refused to be a member of a court where Aaron Willmott was Prince.

Childe of Mikhail Skadison. Augustine is a little bit of an an oddity in her lineage, as she is one of the few that is not afflicted by the social ineptness that seems to plague them all. In fact, she is very much the social creature.
