What clan would most likely embrace a redneck/hillbilly?

I'm going into my first campaign as a player since 2012, with the storyteller choosing V5. Normally I'd go for Hecata/Giovanni as I've always liked the whole neromantic vampire mobster thing the Giovanni got going on, but the Storyteller is letting me use *In Memoriam* to make an Ancilae whose a mentor to the rest of the PCs, since the other players will all be brand new to VtM.

I had a few different ideas for characters, but I ultimately wanted to use a culture/subculture that I am familiar with. Which caused me to land on Rednecks and Hillbillies since I'm redneck on my grandpa's side and hillbilly on my grandma's and grew up in that sort of environment. So I could use stories my family shared with me or even stuff that happened during my childhood as inspiration. So I know I want to do a redneck or hillbilly vampire.

The question is what clan should I go with? The campaign is going to be an Anarch campaign that's set in Chicago (the storyteller recently got Chicago by Night). Originally I was going to make my vampire someone very skilled with the fiddle who encountered their sire (a toreador) and won a fiddling competition against them, resulting in their embrace. Kinda inspired by *The Devil Went Down To Georgia*. But my mind keeps telling me that a Toreador wouldn't embrace a hillbilly/redneck and that there has to be a better option (Clan wise) for the character.
