oh no, so Tula wasn't really taught about the clan's history and values and such? I have two follow up questions
1.) do you think Tula could have survived in the Sabbat if Evelyn had Embraced her there instead?
2.) what training and instruction *did* Evelyn give her? does Tula still keep any of that training?
She wasn’t really! Recently (like, in the very last thing I wrote for her, lol) she began to learn about her the history of her clan, but to her, it seems distant and bizarre, like myth. (I look forward to her finding out the hard way that it isn’t.)
I like to think Tula would have survived in the Sabbat, maybe even thrived in it, perhaps moreso than the Camarilla. She is keenly aware of her monstrous nature, and I could absolutely see her fitting better with an organization that acknowledges, rather than suppresses, this truth. Her need for belonging could be satisfied by the Vaulderie. And apparently she’s pretty good at diablerie, so that’s another gold star.
(There is an AU that exists where Tula was part of Silk’s original pack! It’s a lot of fun. …and occasionally very strange.)
And I think Evelyn, who was embraced into the Sabbat but later broke from her sire and defected (before her clan did), realized that Tula was better suited to the Sabbat, and I think that was one of the reasons she was so hard on her, and told her so little. Basically, Evelyn taught her the ways of the Camarilla. The hierarchies, the Traditions, etc. Names and significance of prominent Atlanta vampires, who to be wary of, who is and isn’t worth her time, how politics and power work among kindred. The importance of self control, manipulation, and obedience. To the Camarilla, but especially to her.
I always appreciate the questions! Helps me to better define different areas of her experience. Thank you for letting me ramble. <3
