Canelle Tornade

Formed from hundreds of stories of heroes, true love, and tragedy; made in the image of fantasies of freedom, power, and passion; and birthed from a very public mental breakdown, Canelle Tornade remains Catherine Porter’s longest lasting persona.

Early Life
Canelle Tornade was abandoned as an infant on the steps of a church in Vrailumiere. She was “rescued” by a kind-hearted gypsy women in her 40s, who raised Canelle as her own, teaching her how to dance,wield daggers, and manipulate men in order to make it in the big city. Canelle’s stories suggest that she was often hungry, neglected, and placed in dangerous situations particularly unsuitable for her age. As she reached her early teen years, Canelle became a reliable source of income for the woman. Eventually, Canelle caught the attention of a wealthy business man. She lived with him and received an excellent education for several years until his wife finally managed to kick her out.

With years of stability, education, and the names of several other businessmen under her belt, Canelle was able to make a decent living entertaining and providing companionship before she joined with the party. Despite the abuse in her childhood, Canelle remains bold, cheerful, and fiercely loyal to the gypsy woman’s memory.
