“It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earth's dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be let alone; lest sleeping abnormalities wake to resurgent life, and blasphemously surviving nightmares squirm and splash out of their black lairs to newer and wider conquests.”
– H.P. Lovecraft
Overview
General info: Coral Garreau is, as many of her family tend to be, an extremely educated, wealthy sort of woman. She’s only recently arrived in town, the product of some far-flung branch of the family. Few know why she’s returned, and all she’ll say is that she’s decided to take an interest in her investments. Professionally, she’s a well-known psychologist, having written several well-received papers, and a surprisingly mainstream book on the subjects of sleep medicine, cognitive behavior and humanistic psychology. Between media engagements, she has been a traveling psychologist, working with the hardest and most disturbing cases, and having a rather impressive level of success. She’s apparently a major investor in the Green Door theater, and can often be found there, offering ‘helpful’ suggestions.
Family info: The Garreau family may not know her personally, but most know she’s been in touch with the family via email/phone/etc for some time. After recently helping one of the wayward Garreau clan, she seems to have taken a more ‘hands-on’ interest in getting close to the family, and has done so with surprising gusto. She bears a striking resemblance to ‘old auntie Cor’, a surly centenarian who was long ago put in a nursing home to spare the family, and is only visited by the most thick-skinned family members.
Lost Info: Coral is an Autumn Courtier, leaning more toward the ‘knowledge’ than the ‘fear’ end of things, though she certainly has been known to whip up a nightmare or two. She is a member of the Family of the Silent Night, and is known to be quite adept at dream-work of all sorts. She occasionally can be found working the goblin market, offering dreams of various flavors, fortunes bought and sold, that sort of thing. She is a newly minted member of the Freehold, and has been clear she plans to join the Watchers once she’s settled into Fate’s Harvest a bit.
RP Hooks
- Dreams - Coral is adept at working with dreams. Whether you need a nice night's sleep, a bit of healing, or someone to fight the dream beasties by your side, she can probably help.
- Madness - If you're crazy and you know it....or even if you don't, perhaps she can help. If you think someone needs a bit more madness in their life? Maybe she can help with that too.
- Goblin Market - Coral has been working the goblin markets for some time, though she's only recently gotten permission to set up shop at the Wild Roses. She trades in dreams, fortunes, prophecies, sanity, madness and memories, though she's always open to exploring other options.
- Theater - She's a major patron of the arts...Specifically the arts going on at the Green Door Theater. Though it's largely assumed it's to help out a family member with their pet project, she does seem to be taking a real interest in the workings of the theater, even if she has no real clue about such things.
- Fortunes and Prophecies - Need a bit more doom-saying in your day? How about assurance that you'll meet a dark and handsome stranger? She doesn't go in for the 'Madame Fortuna' theatrical route of such things, but she is known among the Lost to be a rather accurate predictor of fortunes, and possibly even capable of giving the strands of fate a little nudge.
- Garreau - She is one. Of course she is. Doctor. Crappy Theater patron. Disgustingly well off. Weird. She checks off all the boxes like she's playing a game of Founding Family bingo.
- Autumn - She is a member. Though she tends to lean more toward the knowledge collecting, she isn't opposed to getting her spook on. Most of her court learn quickly to never challenge her to a scare off. Nightmares are an insidious thing, after all.
- Family of the Silent Night - She is a Sister of the family, and well on her way to earning the title of 'Mother'.
