Description
A self-described "nerd-for-life", Yvonne Lunair is a Hermetic mage who specializes in entropy and forces. The door to her room in the chantry house is identified by a Joker and a Queen of Hearts taped to it, as these cards basically sum her up. When she's not changing the resident Cultist's marijuana plant into a tomato vine, she's usually in the chantry library translating classic literary works, studying steganography, or working on cryptography problems. Her favorite movie is Darren Aronofsky's π.
Yvonne is a regular at local and regional poker tournaments, and sometimes travels back to the States to play and visit her father.
She loves Nutri-grain bars and anything from a coffee bean.

Background
Yvonne came from a modest background, having been raised by her car-mechanic father since she was 12. She was born in Phoenix and graduated at the top of her class, knowing six languages fluently and the highest-ranked math student. She began her college career at UCLA, double-majoring in English and mathematics, with hopes of becoming a influential professor. After a few friends from her Contemporary English Literature class introduced her to the leisurely pasttime of poker, she discovered what she thought was a natural talent. She began playing poker online and entering a few local tournaments, and was soon invited to tourneys in different states. After accruing a generous amount of winnings, she decided to leave UCLA and become a professional poker player. She continued to collaborate with her statistics professor on scholarly journal articles via e-mail correspondence, and attributed her poker successes to her strong affinity for recognizing probabilities and patterns.
She awoke during a poker tournament in New York City. After that tournament, she was approached by a group of Technocrats who attempted to capture her for re-education. She was rescued by Eduardo de la Baile who awoke during the rescue. They were led to the House of the Rising Sun and mentored by the chantry until Damien Allen sent them, along with London Morris, to London, England. There, they formed the Treehouse Club cabal.
Paradigm
True to her pedagogue nature, or perhaps due to watching too many after-school programs from the '90's, Yvonne really does believe that knowledge is power. She views the world as a giant mathematical logic problem to be read, observed, analyzed, and figured out. By educating sleepers and teaching them to use their environment as a tool for solving problems, she believes that one day, everyone can see that reality is a pattern of patterns. She also feels that everyone is entitled to their own Walden Pond.
