Stranded
- Heidi arrived in Aleswich in mid-June, 2013, on business, escorting a shipment and to ensure that it arrived safely. After all Hell broke loose, she found herself stranded in small town Maine surrounded by monsters that want to scuff her shoes.
Black Market Flesh Trade
- There is a surprising market for the highly illegal here. It surpsied Heidi at least. But it brought her here. She held a brief name in arms dealing along with her late husband, but transitioned out of that to human trafficking with the occasional diversion into antiquities as the whim strikes.
Sparkle and Shine
- Gifts. Heidi loves them. Wants them. Demands them. Jewels, foreign cars, designer shoes, exotic furs. The more expensive, the more she'll notice. She is not easy to impress.
Underworld
- The real Underworld, as opposed to the criminal one. Heidi often makes trips into the depths to explore or learn new things.

| Mama Knows

|
xxxxxMama Nomzoma. She's the wisdom and the madness that has gifted Heidi with this second life and guides her through it. As the name suggests, she is a maternal creature, the kind that mothers an entire village with a tough hand. Despite the wild differences between Mama's world and Heidis, Mama has lead her host into the old tribal ways of ritual and ceremony filtered through the delusions of fever and a couple of centuries of death.
xxxxxThe gift that Mama Nomzoma gave Heidi is a rabbit fur pouch decorated with beadwork, feathers, and carved bone. It is filled with the bones, coins, bells, teeth, and other assorted baubles to throw and divine the wishes of the dead. It hangs on Heidi's hip, always, but is usually unmanifested in Twilight.

| Maddox Tremain

xxxxx"Is the man outside your current accessory?"
xxxxx"Maddox? In a way. Some women see little dogs in the window and decide they must have them. I saw Maddox. He is more a pet than an accessory. Well trained. Obedient. He keeps me company and minds my affairs."
xxxxxMaddox Tremain is one part personal assistant, one part driver, and one part translator. He might not always be with Heidi, but he usually isn't far away with his Blackberry in hand managing the boss lady's affairs. He looks as though he should be a freshman in college, but he's been groomed to a professional gleam and carries himself with the confidence of an accomplished businessman decades his senior.
