Pepper has lived in Samara for several years, now. Perhaps there are people who remember the first arrival of Miss Potts with the orange hair, the poised, polite woman come alone to open up a modest bookshop. Since then, she's lead an unassuming sort of life, proper by all intents and purposes; she attends church, contributes to the community, gives alms to the poor and small donations to the orphanage when she can. On the outside, she's everything a good, sensible woman should be.
Her secret identity is known only to a handful in Samara; a pureblood vampire waiting in the wings, hiding in plain sight. It is here, in arguably one of the most dangerous towns to a vampire, that she keeps an eye on both sides of the conflict, hunters and her own kind alike. She actively works to dissuade any vampire-related rumors, staunchly protecting their shared secret, that of the Queen's; but privately, she's weary of the hiding and the strife, yearning for the day when both sides could co-exist peacefully.
That day might never come, but she hopes. In the meanwhile, she keeps up the appearances; until death or until it was time to move to some other town. Whichever came first.
( ooc: ota, brackets or prose both fine! i'd especially love some cr with characters who already know (particularly other vamps/sympathizers) that she's a pureblood -- feel free to handwave it or comment to my event plotting thread so we can hash things out. C: )
