Standing about 5'7", this woman's beauty is somewhat hidden beneath her practical clothing and the tremors and twitches that punctuate her every movement. Her pallor is accentuated by a red hair and faintly freckled complexion. Her hair is pulled back in a long braid that hangs down the middle of her back and out of the way to reveal a set of penetrating green eyes. She walks with a cane and is usual very quickly winded, taking long rests when possible. There is a largish fanny pack at her waist that seems to carry most of her needs.
Her voice is gentle and confident, and she is very concerned with the well-being of the people around her. For all her body's protestations otherwise, she walks with certainty and a sort of odd grace. There is an aire of certainty around her, as though despite her physical problems, the rest of her life is certain and comfortable.
You may sometimes see her in the company of a Great Pyrnese dog, who is a legally registered service animal.
Stacee is ever inch the model of the benevolent business woman. Her concerns with health issues, whole foods and the suuport of local industires are quickly gaining her some respect in the local co-op community. She makes every visible effort to fight her physical afflictions and go on as though she were little impaired at all by Gulf War Syndrome. Overall, it would be harder to find a more shrewd and concerned figure in the local business community.
Stacee drifted through the early part of her life, finally joining the US Army to get some personal direction in her life--and just in time to be shipped off to the Persian Gulf War. She remained there for 2 years, in various details and had fallen in love with a tank crewman by the name of Trent Kaufmann, who was killed two weeks before their wedding.
She came home from the Gulf and continued her military service until stricken by Gulf War Syndrome in late 1995 and was soon bedridden. After intensive alternative therapies, and battles with the Veterans Administration over the status of her disability benefits, she was finally able to care for herself well enough to moved from her parents' house in Youngstown, Ohio and move to Pittsburgh. She lived simply there, participating in a study at Carnegie MEllon University relating to autoimmune dysfunction.
In early 1999, she bought a Pennsylvania Lottery ticket and walked home, shuffling it into a pile of things on her desktop. The ticket was a prize winner, but it took her 2 weeks to find the ticket again and nearly threw it in the trash at that. A new winner of 10 million dollars, she immediately invested it in a few things to make her life more comfortable, like leaving Pittsburgh and buying the vehicle that came to make her life much easier, and invested in a small store called "The Fruited Plain" owned by some associates in NH. She remained a silent partner in the operation for a number of years.
It came to happen, through several odd circumstances, that she became pregnant with twins, and found out that she was Garou kinfolk. From there, her life becames blur of giving birth, falling in love with a handsome Silent Strider who disappeared during a dangerous raid in the Umbra. Two weeks later, she found herself pregnant again with his child. No longer wanting to be around the things that they had shared for that brief time, she picked up and left the area with her children and posessions(without telling the Garou where she was headed or why), heading north to take over full ownership of the health food store in Manchester.
