Lovecraft fame), "a place where a powerful being sleeps to be awakened to unleash great destruction."

Timberwolf.
Brief History:
A history of violence stretches back to the day she was brought to this planet; born into what could be the very first widespread organized crime family, she came into vast wealth and power simply by birthright.
With direct connections to the steadily spreading La Costa Nostra, the girl was raised in luxury while steadily learning just how powerful it meant to be part of the L'Renouille family. She was respected. Feared. Anybody that spoke against her was cut down and never heard from again, and she'd never seen a day of punishment for it. To her, this is the perfect life.
However, it was at a very young age that she discovered what it meant to have lycanthropy, another trait of the L'Renouille family. An already violent girl, she was known to simply explode into fits of rage, and none could act against her or so much as scold her in fear of her family. To remedy her outbursts, her fathers' final gift to her was a one-of-a-kind violin from the most prestigious of craftsmen, the name itself a legend. She took a liking to the instrument immediately, and it became somewhat of a trademark, later taking her into famous concert halls to perform alongside other musicians as though she was just a humble performer. Her new hobby did wonders for her wild temper, keeping her a very cold, calculated and precise woman.
In her twenties, she immigrated to Goldwyn with a few associates to oversee new business ventures in controlling various trade routes. Her wealth purchased her all the help and resources she would need for any task she would call for. With the passing of both her father and mother back home, it became her duty to help the family rise to power overseas.
Recent ventures in a large merchant town have brought her in contact with a rather loyal associate, Desha, who remains somewhat of a right-hand-furre to her, perhaps the closest thing to a friend that Victoria will ever have; the only furre that doesn't take offense to Victoria's viscous attitude even toward her own 'family.'
Other notable associates include Vicart Severus, a royal knight-turned-arena-duelist that has served under her employ as a guard of sorts (under the public eye) for at least five years, and Ars Almadel, a possessed violence-crazed teenage girl who shares the same misanthropy she does, who acts more of an informant due to her vastly unreliable nature.
Anything else we should know?
Any furre can freely assume they already know or have heard of Victoria, especially scholars or bounty hunters. If not for her violin performances, she could quickly be identified as a wanted woman with an absolutely wild bounty over her head, though most know that her death would bring repercussion. She is assumed to be a "most wanted" character, and absolutely notorious.
Pros:
All associated with lycanthropy: extreme fits of strength and stamina; near limitless wealth in her possession; extremely intelligent; a prodigy with her instrument of choice, the violin.
Cons:
All associated with lycanthropy: uncontrollable 'changes' or bursts of rage, a maddening bloodlust, loss of reason; is void of the ability to use or control any sort of magic (thus losing some effectiveness on her, positive or negative); her fame often leads to countless furres she's never seen in her life randomly taking up arms against her; a generally frail appearance not befitting of a notorious criminal.
