Pamela is a self-made, enigmatic woman who is known for her extraversion, financial generosity, and incorrigible nature. She began her life with nothing and now has blackmail material on some of America's most prominent figures and money to burn, which in her terms makes her a success. She is nevertheless ambitious and grasping, using power largely as a way to secure her own safety and that of her employees, whom she does genuinely care for and will go to great lengths to protect. While her morality is questionable at best, she has her own code of conduct, largely based around people who are defenseless or who remind her of herself once upon a time.
Whatever she may have experienced, those memories are so forcefully buried she has almost no tells besides those protective instincts; generally they sharpen her, make her more focused. Momentum is vital to her as a person, like a shark or some other ancient, predatory animal. New ambitions are her way of carving a constantly evolving path, as well as creating a place for "ruined" people like her.
Resourceful, good-humored, and viciously unashamed of who she is, including her lust for life or the finer things in it, she is a diehard believer in her own independence and value, unaffected by the external judgments of anyone she doesn't include in her circle of trusted opinions. She is also conniving and intelligent, brutally vindictive when she needs to be, and rarely sorry for anything. When the rules of her aforementioned code have been broken, she is capable of shocking and sadistic violence; flexible as she may seem, the consequences for trespassing her boundaries are severe. As allies go, Pamela is one of the best to have, but she does expect quid pro quo.
Also: ENTJ-A, a personality type known as 'The Commander'.
Appearance
Overall she's very well cared-for, with a penchant for expensive jewelry that is barely kept on just the polite side of transparently nouveau riche. She sometimes wears Roses Vanille by Mancera.
Timeline
Early Life
Sometime in 2005, a nineteen-year-old in New Orleans, Louisiana watches her husband bleed to death over a card game-related conflict. Rather than call an ambulance, she walks away. She has no family and spent her childhood in care after being found on a doorstep in 1987; it's not difficult for her to disappear.The name of this girl doesn't matter now, but it might, someday.
Los Angeles
A young woman named Pamela Balfour turns up in Los Angeles, where she works for an ostensible 'escort agency' (really, he's just a pimp) for several years.
Her employer also meets an untimely fate, though it appears to be suicide. Balfour is known in supernatural communities for the special properties in her blood that function like a drug; a pleasantly hypnotic opiate in small doses, fatal in bigger ones.She cannot be compelled or have her mind read, so the details remain ambiguous, but she is also linked to the death of one of her clients, an old vampire named Paris. It's unlikely she killed him herself, but his death did conveniently come after he harmed her during a session.
East Coast
At twenty-five, she transitions to working in New York as an independent provider. She has by then been the mistress to several blue-blooded men (and one hitman she met back in Los Angeles, although 'mistress' is not really the term for how their relationship progresses; it took them eleven years, but they are married now), including a member of the distinguished Fitzalan family. She uses her earnings and little black book to begin her own escort agency, which proves enormously profitable in only a few short months.When New Cyrene legalizes sex work, she opens up an elite wing of her agency and two brothels there, both catering to different stripes of society. She also begins to explore the limits of her own powers, discreetly researching how she may improve upon them or learn more about their origins, forming new alliances in the process, including the head witch in charge of New York's powerful coalition coven.
