I'll try to provide some starter intro info below.))Nora hopped off her stool and stretched. She didn't need to stretch, but the human habits she'd become accustom to using in order to fit in among humans hadn't worn off yet. She began cleaning up the art studio; the studio was available for all the Volturi to use, but Nora was the most frequent user. Art helped Nora cope with her gift - the ability to "see" other people's memories as well as store them in her own mind, alter them, or show them to others - by letting her get images out of her mind.
The gift had been what helped her become a guard when she first came to meet the Volturi at the end of the Victorian era. Nora hadn't come to the guard by herself - she had been brought by another guard after getting into too much trouble in the human world. Aro found that Nora's gift made her an excellent spy and he used an long term, extended mission as her repayment for her mistakes. Nora still completed extended, undercover missions for the Masters; she didn't hate the missions, but acting human was a lot less exciting than combat.
Actually, Nora had just returned from a 3 year mission in the southeast region of the U.S and was looking for something other than painting to entertain her. Luckily, she didn't have to wait long. There was a new vampire at the castle. Nora wandered out into the castle hallways in hopes of encountering the new vamp.
