At my regular friday club Dragons Keep UK we are 10 weeks into a year long Call of Cthulu and I have only just gotten round to printing and painting my character mini...
Bunty Rothschild - Heiress and Supernatural Investigator
Bunty's Story
Her early life in the Hamptons was idylic, being the daughter of the extended Rothschild family the world was her oyster as long as that meant marrying into one of the other rich families that Daddy knew.
Whe she was 16 she was packed off to Paris to study at the famous Sorbonne finishing schools. However, far from the withering gaze of her father she developed a rebellious streak that even the legendary Madame Guillaume couldn't tame out of her.
With the outbreak of war she and her American classmates were shipped back to the USA like refugees. Her father being far too busy with the business of supporting the war effort left her to live in the family's 5th Avenue apartment overlooking Central Park.
Of course Bunty was soon getting up to mischief and found herself fronting various high society illicit parties on behalf of the Italian Gandolfini Syndicate. Her taste for risk and danger often saw her accompanying the boys on a rum run and her skills with the Chicago Typewriter made her invaluable to Don Luigi.
Unfortunately, her success came to an abrupt end when the syndicate fell under the beady eyes of Izzy and Moe, who operated the New York office of the famous untouchables. She was lifted by the cops in a sting operation and only managed to avoid incarceration due the sworn testimony of her Uncle and New York State Supreme Court Judge.
Tired of his wayward daughter's antics, her father gabe her an ultimatum. Either she married into one of the respectable wealthy society families or she got herself a job.
Whilst Bunty ruminated on the two equally unnatractive options facing her, fate had other plans. A chance reading of the New York Tribune classifieds saw her embark on a steamship to Lima, Peru.
