Imported Pages/Richetta Massaro

Appearance
Upon first glance one sees that Richetta Massaro is a moneyed individual. Always dressed her best and never seen in anything less than the finest Italian designers, she is an intimidating sight to behold. Any aristocrat could easily peg her as Old Money. She maintains the appearance quite deftly, while still embracing her (let's say "flamboyant") Jersey Girl flare. She is polished at all times from her Sergio Valente hair, to her Louis Vuitton toes.

She is of average height and build with firey hair that changes subtly with the seasons. It's reddish-brownish-blondish yet somehow always fitting to her tightly-reigned, and thinly-veiled temper.

Personality
The Jersey Girl accent tends to storm out when Richetta is agitated, which needless to say, is often.

Although at first glance she appears spoiled and privileged, Richetta's history proves her to be far from it. Like any attentive Italian mother she is protective, shrewd, cautious, calculating, and always prefers the long game. She has an nack for finance, investment, and social structure. Certainly, these traits are due to her challenging mortal life. She is confident, brazen, and unabashedly charming when pursuing her goals; and ruthless when crusading.

Her family, and The Family are the two most important things in her existence. To anyone who knows her beyond aquaintance, this is obvious. Vampiric society is a close third, as it merely helps solidify what she can provide for her progeny.

Mortal World
Among mortals, Massaro is a known, respected, if not slightly feared name. Richetta herself is a savvy Financial Investor and Business Consultant. Her husband and ghoul Victor, is the presumed head of The Familia Massaro in New Jersey. His is the face that mortals fear. He is the one that mortal law enforcement both works with, and despises. To all supernaturals (and a few very insightful mortals) however, it is plain to see that he is merely the beard of the boss. Richetta Massaro has ruled the mobs of New Jersey for decades, which would explain their organization, stability, and placidity since the 1950s. Her three sons (also ghouled until prepared for the embrace) are well-known figureheads within the mob. They are the Hands of the internal law. There are rules to functioning inside The Family, and her boys enforce them.

To mortal society, the Massaro Family is an odd amalgamation of matriarchal rule among patriarchal pride. The Massaro boys are vigorous, but not the sharpest tacks in the box. Each generation needs a strong woman to reign them in. When the family is blessed with a girl (which is rare) She is given her mother's names and is raised to carry them flawlessly. When a generation lacks a natural born female, wives are chosen VERY carefully, and specifically trained. Or at least this is what the public has been lead to believe for the past century. In earnest, Richetta Massaro has played the part of herself, her mother, and her grandmother. She was orphaned as a mortal child and after bouncing around between foster homes until the age of 16 she landed in a boisterous, overcrowded, Italian home. A poor young man named Vic stole her heart and worked relentlessly to provide a future. She joined the Army at the age of 17, and eventually wound up a nurse in France in 1944. It was there that she met her would-be Sire. An Italian by birth, Invitus by embrace, who saw a sharp and clever addition to the First Estate, in her. Several years later when the war was over, the small, modest but thriving Massaro family of New Jersey got to meet their Italian "uncle" for Christmas. His visit was planned, his gift was everlasting, and his blood would help Richetta and her husband create an empire for their children. As well as bring balance and stability to a suffering post-war underworld.
