Story:

Miranda "Randi" Bates is one of those rarities, a long lived Bone Gnawer hero. while pushing 65 and begining to slow down, it cannot be denied that Randi Bates is still an iron willed engine of garou destruction. Randi is not an alpha and does not give orders but when she puts her foot down she does mean it. While she isn't short fused her temper is fierce and her memory is long. Randi is a bit of a slow learner but she's learned much just by staying alive and keeping her eyes open

These days, Randi owns a laundromat and spends much of her time buried in a trashy romance. She often "aunts" young upptiy Bone Gnawers who think they can't be beaten.(Heh.) and at night she goes out with the old Ramblers.

One can see and hear a lot in a laundromat especially if one provides bone gnawers and kinfolk with laundry services in exchange for intel. Besides these services that she provides for her pack and sept. she also was in the army while young and became one of the first females ever to work in the motorpool. as such she can drive anything and fix quite a bit.

Story uses:

Old woman who can beat the snot out of you: Short of Kalindo, you're going to come up short against her and she will teach you the meaning of humility.

Early warning system: Want to know if the leeches are creeping around the neighborhood? Want to know if the sabbat are on the move? Go ask Randi. She hears this stuff.

Mechanic Extraordinaire: Want to know how to put a blower on a 75 GTO? Randi keeps up with automotive stuff and works out back of the laundrymat. If your wheels get jacked up while fighting the wyrm. go see Randi and she might be able to put it right...for a price.
