Hi Roberto. Great idea to have private chat threads!
I'm happy to play a secretary (might improve my typing in RL). I notice that secretary isn't listed as an occupation in the character sheet creation thread, but it is listed in the Investigator's Handbook, so I'll use that book for reference if it's ok.
I probably won't have time to do this until Monday, but should be good to go after that
Cheers,
Jon

Oh Yes, feel free to follow the Handbook.

Appearance & Personality: Tall, thin and severe-looking with black hair cut in a sharp Eton Crop. Speaks with a cultured Bostonian accent. A spinster and something of a 'bluestocking', she can seem quite aloof when first encountered. Ivy is intelligent, has a dry and laconic sense of humour and is always ready with a withering put-down. Thin-skinned and easily irritated, she does not suffer fools gladly and is formidable when roused. Friendship is not something that comes easy to her but she values professionalism and hard work. She is also very shrewd, having learned to read people and spot subtle signs in order to anticipate her client's needs.

Background: 'Poison' Ivy, as she is known to her colleagues, hails from an ancient Bostonian family that can trace it's ancestors back to some of the first English settlers in America.

Brought up in the stuffy, hidebound and 'old money' atmosphere of New England's elite, this academically gifted and headstrong woman caused a minor scandal when she eschewed the traditional life of the debutante. On her 21st birthday she announced to her horrified parents that she had grown bored with her life of easy privilege and had decided to 'stop shilly-shallying about on a horse all day and do something constructive instead.'

Deaf to all entreaties and threats of disinheritance she embarked on a series of secretarial jobs; her level-headed attitude, no-nonsense personality and witheringly dry wit more than compensating for her lack of vocational training. By the time her family's fortune was squandered on a series of bad investments, her career was such that she could support herself financially.

By the mid 1920s she had secured employment in Portland, Maine as a clerical assistant to the city's police force, catering mainly for the investigative bureau. Unable to stay behind her desk for long, she has a reputation for overstepping the mark and getting involved in interesting cases. Her assistance has earned her the respect of many a detective, while those that try to clip her wings soon get the sharp end of her tongue and discover exactly why she's earned her nickname!
