Mother Pasta

Mother Pasta is a Homid Ragabash Bone Gnawer. She moved to Australia from Calabria, Italy with her parents in the late 1940s.

It is only a matter of time before she acts on these urges. ^[1]

Biography[]

Mother Pasta emigrated to Australia from Calabria, Italy, with her parents in the late 1940s. After many years her father found work on the Snowy Mountain Scheme, and the family's home became a corrugated iron shed in Jindabyne. It was here that Mother Pasta, then known as Maria Condotta, was sought out by the Garou. A number of Bone Gnawers lived among the laborers, and, sensing that Maria was of their tribe, made themselves known to her. Maria had always felt an outsider; among the Garou she felt that she had found her rightful place. After her transformation, Pasta, as she was now known, stayed in Jindabyne for many years, marrying a Kinfolk boy and working closely with the Bone Gnawer representative of the Jindabyne Council. Father Meat-and-Three-Veg was also the leader of a large Sydney Bone Gnawer sept; as he grew older, he groomed Pasta to inherit his position. Today she is leader of the Rocks Sept and hold the Bone Gnawer chair at Jindabyne.

Unknown to all, Mother Pasta has become unhinged by grief over the death of her husband five years ago. Her great love of pasta has been replaced by a growing desire for human flesh, ideally that of small children. She has practiced stalking children as they walk home from school, as well as streetkids. To date, she has not yet out her fantasies into action, but it is only a matter of time, Should her psychopathic nature be discovered, Mother Pasta's actions will be exploited by the Shadow Lords, who have long maintained that the Bone Gnawers are unfit to sit upon the Jindabyne Council. Although a suitable successor exists, in the form of Melbourne's Scratches-at-Fleas, it would be difficult to convince him of his worthiness. Meanwhile Mother Pasta nods and smiles, all the while coming closer and closer to acting out her insane fantasies.
