Timeline
-Avery Park was born on July 19th, 1994 in Belle Glade, Florida

The First-Change In 2018 Avery attended a camping party out in the woods after an Improv show, with her best friend and crush Joan Porter. Avery and Joan both got a little more drunk than they intended to in such a public setting while “celebrating” a successful performance. As the two walked out of the woods to get a ride home, a group of muggers descended upon them demanding their valuables. The last thing Avery remembers is the group surrounding them. The next morning Avery and Joan awoke nearby each other, covered in the blood and torn remains of their attackers, they had experienced the first change together. (Joan Porter was a Stargazer Ragabash) Luckily, a small group of Garou were nearby Belle Glade on their way to a caern shard they were looking for in Georgia, and were informed by a spirit of what had taken place. Unfortunately, none of them were Fianna, but they were familiar and taught Avery some things about her tribe. One of them however was a Stargazer like Joan, and taught both her and Avery about their ways

Rite of Passage, the First Challenge In 2019, the group were able to determine that the shard caern was hidden deep within the swamps of Georgia. Joan and Avery’s Rite of Passage challenge would be to venture into the dangerous rural swamps and wilderness and take back the shard caern from the alligators or whatever else had occupied it. They discovered a strange reptilian monster that had been twisted by the Wyrm, and had to eradicate it from the shard caern, which had nearly been turned into a full desecrated Pit. Luckily the small number of Garou that had taken them under their wings had the knowledge and ability to restore and cleanse the shard caern.

The Second Challenge Unfortunately, their second challenge was not one they intended to take on so soon. A few months later, in 2020. Agents of the Wyrm attacked the caern shard, this time assisted by strange supernatural creatures with fangs and faces like corpses (a group of Sabbat “Cainites”/Kindred). A Garou was killed, and another injured, but Joan and Avery stepped up and fought off the assault, and Avery healed their injured comrade with her first use of Gaia’s Touch.

Disaster Strikes If only that had been the end, but only a few months later the undead that had attempted to raid the shard caern with the agents of the Wyrm returned. The group of Sabbat Vampires slaughtered most of the few Garou who remained protecting the place of power, and kidnapped Avery, Joan, and the last of the Garou who had helped foster them from cubs, a Wendigo Ahroun named “Ghost-Stalker of the Night”. The crazed Vampires tried to “break” the three of them, to turn them into war hounds for one of their crusades. They did things like starving them and forcing them to fight off alligators, with some passing mention of “weeding out the weak and testing the strong. Joan fought back a little too hard during one of these incidents, and while pushing her one of the kindred frenzied and killed Joan without meaning to in a use of excessive force. Avery’s best friend, and maybe the love of her life (but she never got the chance to try) had been ripped away from her. The blood boiled inside her veins and Avery reached a heightened state of rage that she had never experienced before. She was able to break “Ghost-Stalker of the Night” free and together they lashed out against their tormentors and eviscerated every single vampire that was there at the time. Ghost-Stalker of the Night was badly wounded, but alive. But worst of all, in their absence the shard caern had been fully desecrated and turned completely into a Pit. He told Avery he had heard about another group of Garou in Miami, but he needed to return home to the north for now. Avery mentioned that she had to tell the stories of their fallen comrades, that their songs should never be allowed to be lost to time. It was then that he dubbed her “Speaks for the Dead” and she finally got her deed name. (Now in game current year): Soon after Avery, still traumatized from all that had happened, moved down just a little bit South to Miami
