Semmy was a halfblood int agent so magically diluted she couldnt cast without floppy disks despite being an arcanist. This insecurity as well as the nature of her job, trained her to be so reserved she reveals very little about her desires and actively represses them.
She gets bitten by Valentina who is a Beyond which is a vampirelike pureblood arcanist.
The foundation pretends they will look after her but are obviously going to keep her as an experiment and have already put lethal countermeasures in case she defects from the virus which is changing her to the point shes now delirious and seeing a hallucination of an unwanted guide in the mirror that she doesnt realize is just her arguing with herself until the end.
She seeks Lorelei and Valentina to try and survive the highly lethal transformation, the latter wanting her to join her sire with the manus, the former demented enough to try and cure the storm afflicted rioting crowd in the storms eye. The events repeating in Semmels madness until she figures out what she actually wants and survives the transformation.
As a fun tangent, kakania tried prying into her mind with her mirror and it both failed (vamps have no reflection) and pissed her off enough to cause a fight between them.


tldr: repressed magicless glowie gets vamped and goes schizo to save another schizo while having the balls to reject both the foundation and the manus at the same time in the eye of a storm.

>What of her vampiric manners
Anything that isnt biological is just her being so much of a fucking DORK that she instinctively plays into the vamp stereotypes because thats all she knows about vamps
