As the Chantry's Herald, Tracy gets out of the city far more often than anyone else there. She's had the opportunity to witness the results of the traumatic Ascension War in Seattle, the outbreak of plague, and the thinning of the Shroud.

Although her days as a pool shark are over, she still cuts a nice figure around the tables in the basement floor of the nightclub, and often relates her use of magick to a game of pool -- a series of apparently unrelated chance events, all adding up to produce the desired result.

Between those who have denounced Joshua's actions as the work of an insane and errant wizard and those who have taken his side, Tracy has to argue the chantry's case and deal with detractors she may well agree with.
