History

Born, Klavdia Romanov, Camille adapted her name after a performance of the theatrical version of The Lady of the Camellias, a stage adaptation of the Alexander Dumas’ novel in her early teenage years. Having grown up in Vladivostok, Russia she was no stranger to outspoken men and the tough women that called them their own. At an early age she was drinking and swearing, and by the time she was 13 had her first tattoo. Her father worked for The Ministry of the Railways, and was gone for months at a time, leaving Camille with her mother a dressmaker who simply couldn't get her little girl to be just that. Always in trouble and out of reach of her mother, Camille found her family in the local port theatre that for so many years entertained the port city. Despite a failed attempt at attending a wizarding school Camille did her best to practice what little magic she had mastered. It wasn't until the death of her mother did a teenage Camille learn that growing up was never easy, especially if you had to do it too soon.

The death took a great toll on the family, and Camille was forced to spend what was left of her childhood traveling the countryside with her father, a conductor. Having never had a good relationship with the man who sired her, Camille found herself in a bit of purgatory. His drinking got heavier and his sanity started to slip. She knew she could remain no longer. Unable to return to school, Camille took to the tracks without ever looking back, and spent the next few years with a traveling performing troupe that dabbled both in classic stagework and modern movements that saw them all the way to Moscow. However, the loss of a bet soon had the performing troupe under the care of a raven’s black wing, and Camille a seat next to their King's throne; here she realized she wasn't alone with only having ever been half trained in magic and hides that fact from everyone. It is unlikely she will ever fully be schooled in the art of wizardry, but that doesn't mean she can't drop kick you into getting what she wants.
