Claudia/Introduction

My sire always told me that a burden shared is a burden halved but... if you really don't wanna talk about it... maybe I can just play you a song? - Claudia Elizabeth Preston

Born in Salt Lake City Utah on Valentine's Day 1971. She doesn't remember much of that place as her family moved to Houston soon after due to a job opportunity for her Father (engineer specialized in urban planning.) Her Mother (high school music teacher) got her into music.

Influenced into music at an early age by her Mother. Took to the violin. She can also sing and play piano and knows how to play other instruments, but right now is more gifted in the violin. Participated in school choirs and honed her skills in the violin. Enrolled in extracurricular music programs and private lessons for both the violin and piano, as well as singing lessons. Attended a school for the arts in Houston to help sharpen her skills.

Went to the University of Texas @ Austin where she majored in Music Performance with a focus on the violin.

Met her sire, Isabella Grace Whitman, aka "Belle" in her final year of school and was embraced. Spent about a year and 3 months under her sire's tutelage in Austin. Her sire is a prominent figure in the Camarilla, originally from Miami but spent years in Austin. An eccentric Toreador obsessed with the era she was embraced in (the 1950s) and would try to mold her childer to be like they were from the era. Claudia respectfully resisted and actually earned her sire's respect. After spending time under her sire's tutelage in Austin, her sire mysteriously had to go back to Miami and told her to return to her roots in Houston.
