Wendy Havers

Louise-Brooks-1920s-flapper-fashion-stylePhd Student of Cryptoanthropology under Dr. Halper, Professor of Sociology and Cryptoanthropology, at Miskatonic University. Originally obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology from Boston College and transferred to Miskatonic U to switch fields to Cryptoanthropology. Her thesis work is the study of re-occurring themes in coastal Indian societies of the New England area. The year before last she had taken a holiday to coastal North Carolina to study sites once held by the Croatan tribe of Indians. While there she discovered a viable excavation site and upon returning to the University convinced her Professor to lobby for an expedition to the site to excavate it. At the time the department of Archaeology had been looking for a new dig to take their students on, and so Wendy lucked out and her expedition was formed up and dispatched the next year.

Wendy is the daughter of William Arthur Havers, a wealthy bond speculator whose estate is in Cambridge Massachusetts. Wendy’s acceptance into Boston College and then Miskatonic University came with large endowments provided to the schools by her father, who dotes quiet extensively on his only daughter. Wendy’s mother spends most of her time in Europe on extended holidays, but has been home since the outbreak of the war. Wendy has three brothers, all older than her. Charles is a colonel in the Army, he has not yet returned from the European theater, and has a wife and three children. Phillip is a banker who lives in Boston, he is married and has several children. Will is something of a problem child, he has no wife and has never settled on an occupation, instead bouncing from scheme to scheme and wasting his father’s money on wild nights and fast women.

Wendy is 5 foot 4 inches tall, slender build, with a strong chin and prominent nose. Brown haired, brown-eyed. Her demeanor does not give away her upbringing, she is somewhat bookish and shy, and a little awkward during “official” occasions. She enjoys to read, much more so than most contemporary women, and spends most of the free time in that occupation. She also enjoys walking and hiking. She has always been interested in Indians, from the stories told to her by her father and tutors to the “more enlightened” (considering Eugenics is becoming a widely accepted field of study, enlightened refers to the rendering of the Indian as doomed to be a savage by his genetics and natural selection) “scientific” endeavors of the present day. Wendy is very intelligent and knowledgeable, in general and specifically about anthropology.

She wants to teach after she obtains her doctorate. That and get married and have children. Recently she has spent a good deal of time with her brother Charles’ kids while he has been away for the war and this has sparked a desire in her to start her own family, although that desire is currently only a smoldering set of coals, not a roaring fire. Her plan at the present is to marry only after she has completed her schooling.
