(Seeking)
Zoie's a rusalka, a water nymph of Slavic origins, and she's not inherently evil, but through a life of trauma, can come across as such. Mafia indentured escort and forever young, you'd expect her to be soured by the life she's grown accustomed to, but she's comfortable - accepted, actually - the life she has, and wouldn't trade it for anything now. She's finally as close to happy as she's been in ages. (She thinks)
But that doesn't mean she couldn't be happier.
(hooligans)she runs a bit wild when off the clock, blends in with poor college kids and barflies, so she's just another street rat during the daylight hours. let's get into trouble.(victims)her nature has her luring out murderers and abusers to watery graves, and she carries her own ideals of justice. misunderstandings are likely, if you're an asshole and not one she owes anything to.
these i'll be a bit more particular about, as they'll be long term plots(mafios)the family she works for is established on the east coast, and they've let her take a holiday to brush up on her skills while raids and shit go down. she's got protection, but they might not enjoy having to trail her around. so there won't be too many of these. perhaps there could be previous owners coming to collect that could come into play.(desperation)there's likely to be someone who thinks she needs saving from her life, from the underbelly that's all she's ever known. maybe they want to give her a chance at redemption, a real job. white knights looking for their good deed of the day....or maybe, the complete opposite, and they want her for themselves; a collared killer with a soft temperament is rare. exotic pet collector of the oddest sort. maybe use her as proof that supernatural creatures can be good or bad. she's pretty pliable.
