 She's maternal, but the type of mother who wants strong, empowered children, so she is not a protective person. She pushes people to take risks and get out there. If she's faced with someone telling her about a problem, she goes immediately into telling them how they could fix it, and will not suffer someone feeling sorry for themselves.

-Danielle was an Oakland-born daughter of a secretary (her mother Wilma managed customer accounts for Foley's) and a debt collector (her father Antoine, who worked for a furniture company) and had two older brothers (Sean and Michael). She was the last child born: Wilma was holding out for a daughter. She admired her father's care for his community. Among her memories, she counts all those times that her father would cover for his debtors who couldn't afford to pay, and how they would absolutely insist on giving him ''something'', sending him home with hand-sewn clothes, or big blocks of government-issue cheese and flour. Seeing the debt and poverty of her community alongside the solidarity and charity of her father was a foundational experience.

 = Overview =
 Mama is a Gangrel who is Oakland born-and-raised who spent some time in her formative years of unlife in Montreal first, a follower of the Path of Caine. She's focused on disciplining the Bay Area Sabbat into a more careful tribe in the wake of the digital age. She is a firm believer in using the Ritae to unite the Sabbat across all of its idologies. She started a rebranding of the local Sabbat as 'family' because she believes very strongly in solid, nuclear units as a societal building-block. She's very strict about the importance of the Silence Of The Blood (the Sabbat version of the Masquerade).
