Reputation
Gianna is fun loving and freethinking. She is shrewd and values trust, loyalty and honesty. Known for an unusual affinity with birds and a very lovely voice. She loves to entertain and can be generous to a fault. If crossed she will give an opportunity to make amends, but she is no fool. Gianna is know to be a co-owner of the Lillies of the Valley with Helena Mohiam and property on Dorsoduro.

Known History
Gianna was present during the reign of the Mad Prince, though not a major player in the political arena at the time. Her sire, Aribella, warned her that she needed to flee Venice or Gianna would be the next target of the Mad Prince's terror. After much resistance Gianna obeyed her sire and fled to the Courts of Hell for asylum.

When word reached her of the Mad Prince's death and the rise of the Senate Form, Gianna returned to her home. In time she was persuaded to accept the support of other members of the Forum and serve as their representative in the senate. As a senator she has frequently not seen eye to eye with her fellow senators, particularly Celeste Borgia. Frustrated with the passivity and quiescence of her fellow senators, Gianna has at times gone off on her own to seek solutions to issues important to the betterment of Venice and her supporters.

Player Name: Wendi A little bit about me: I have been LARPing since 1998. I started playing Dark Ages in a mixed game with Vampires, Werewolves and Fae. Since then I have been on staff of several Vampire games and played in many others. I love the game and am always happy to rp with new people.

Coins in a bag are tossed heavily across the table…

“So, what’d she do first?”
“She went to the Medici Bank.”
“And did what in there?”
“I can’t go in there, idiot. But she was in there for three watermarks.”
“Doing what, I wonder. Okay, next?”
“Next she went to Minotaur’s to meet with Rinaldo Pazzi.”
“Ooh. And?”
“And they talked for a good whole watermark, before he kissed her cheek and gave her a pearl necklace with his own hands. I couldn’t get close enough to actually hear them, but I never saw the Patriarch rage, it looked like he was near tears.”
“Gianna Visconti can do that. And, what else?”
“She went to the Cloak and Stagger, I’m assuming to speak with Contarini.”
“And you can’t afford to go in there, okay. How did that one go?”
“She came out frowning, I would assume it did not go well. She didn’t do Borgia, that leaves just one.”
A horn of ale is plopped on the table before the spy continues. He drinks it down and sighs happily.
“I saw her meet with someone in a cloak in the alleys next to the Golden Bones. If it truly was the green and gold, oh the cat’s loose among the bushes now.”
