• Important Extras

  NOTES:
  - habs would be considered any good alignment, despite her surroundings and company
  - she wears the human glamour (see gallery) in public; her gargen truth is greatly unknown
  - she (glamoured) wears many different costumes, but they're functional, so she can still act as hostess
  - she cannot drive. she has a driver that will take her places.
  
  REPUTATION:
  - habs is very widely known as a charitable and pleasant woman
  - her baked goods have won a few honorable awards, but she still gives them out for free, to guests that stay at her spooktacular bed and breakfast, the spook chateau
  - she has an adopted child, victoria (but some say they've seen another child running about- there's a rumor she has more adopted children that she's hiding from the press)
  - her (glamour) face has appeared in ads of multiple sorts, and she's performed a few interviews
  - there are some who suspect she, herself, is one of these 'supernaturals' running around, but there's no proof and the rumor is generally squashed when it comes up
  - habs runs a small, legal, petting zoo and adoption farm outside of her castle, behind the pumpkin patch. there's everything from rescued cats and dogs, to birds and, out of the way of guests but visible to admire, bats.
