Character Name: Vagabund Wertloser (the W is pronounced as a V)
Username: The Countess
Date of Birth: Unknown
Age: Unknown, early 30s
Gender: Female
Occupation: Tramp, ex-prostitute, town crazy
AI: Helena Bonham Carter
Appearance: Vagabund is small woman standing at only 5’2 with a 16 inch waist. She has grey complexion and dark eyelids due to constant sickness. Her face is thin with high cheekbones and a prominent jaw line. Vagabund’s hair is brownish-auburn (it was lighter when she was younger) with a natural curl to it though it is often knotted or fizzy. Her eyes are confused, frantic brown puddles of mud but with a wide, doe-like at the same time. Vagabund would have been quite pretty if misfortune hadn’t fallen onto her so harshly. She often wears ill-fitted clothing like huge trench coats, sweat pants, and sweatshirts. She owns only about 2 dresses and a pair of workboots she stole from a stage hand at the opera. She wears anything that's basically cheap and warm. Needless to say, being from the streets, she's rather unkempt (matted hair, dirty face, ect.).
Personality: Vagabund isn't an average person. She's vulgar, dishonest, untrusting, and very wary of certain situations. It’s possible that Vagabund is suffering from some kind of amnesia because she doesn’t remember everything from her past. Sometimes she’d be speaking and drop mid-sentence. This could also just be a way to block out unwanted memories. Most take Vagabund to be crazy, which she is. On the contrary to most people, Vagabund may seem like a child. She’s not familiar with many modern luxuries because she’s never had them. Vagabund is very untrusting of others that seem too sketchy for her (ironically, the sketchy ones are the bright, happy, friendly ones) and will often ask them the strangest questions to see if they’re truly worth talking to. Vagabund won't normally openly introduce herslef unless she wants to have fun with a person or takes an interest in them. Vagabund is very sexual and often picks up on inuendos even when there are none. She wouldn't mind being a prostitute again, but as of this point, she considers herself retired.
History: Vagabund Wertloser was born in an unknown location at an unknown time at an unknown part of Germant. For most of Vagabund’s life, she’s only known a whore house to be her home. At 13 years or so, Vagabund sought refuge at an abbey in the eastern region of Deidesheim, Germany. Nuns found her shivering, barely clothed, and speaking in tongues. Further more, she had no memory of who she was or where she came from. The inhabitants could only guess her past before she came to them "by the will of God", as they used to say. The nuns took her to a doctor for examenations. The doctor digonosted that she was mentally insane because of her ramblings. He also mentioned to the nuns that she had hemoptysis and with proper treatment, she die before she reached 40. The nuns took her in for only a short period of time. Since the girl came to them with no name, the nuns often called her Irregeführt, or misguided. At first, the nuns were patient with the girl and often reminded themselves of the hardships she must have gone through. The nuns even tried to train her for nunhood but they soon found that even as a young girl, Vagabund was naturally a vulgar and suggestive person who often disrupted Sunday Mass and the solitary nuns. It wasn’t long before Vagabund grew of age and the nuns were only too happy to show her the door.
At about age 18, Vagabund took up residence in an acclaimed whore house in Paris, France, Les Toiles Rouge, thinking to make a profession of her flirtation. The pimp, a drunken American who insisted on being called "Daddy", handed names out to girl's like Vagabund who were there because it was the last place to go. Her's became Vagabund Wertloser, a play on her heritage and her vulgarity. There she spent the flashiest years of her life. She wore lingerie with sequins, tassels, feathers, gems, anything to catch a man’s eye. In Les Toiles Rouge, she made friends because they were just like her. All of the other prostitues were outcasts like her. The “job” paid well for she was asked to perform her magic often but it changed Vagabund mentally forever. Her mind and sanity offically became a blur. But Vagabund loved what she did. She loved being racey and inappropriate all hours of the day. Her age unfortunatly caught up with her and in that particualr whore house. Daddy guess that she had hit into her 30's, which was considered to be old. And so she was sent on her way in her mid 30s. Because of this, she grew a great loathing for Daddy and hasn't sold herself since.
Vagabund’s been living on the street for the last 5 years or so and travels from place to place from time to time but enjoys being close to the Opera House in a comfy cardboard box.
Other:
Voice: Vagabund has a harsh German accent and has difficultly speaking English or French.
Illness: Other than her mental illness, Vagabund has hemoptysis that causes her to cough blood up randomly. She can't afford the treatments for it but it doesn't interfer with her life and will have it until she dies (most likely from it). Vagabund also smokes whenever she can and has severe lung and breathing problems.
