Biography
Countess Carmilla Elizabeth Bathory (Japanese: 伯夫人カーミライリズバウバウリ) was a member of the Nobility; the ancient breed of vampires that lived among Humanity for centuries until the devastating nuclear war that engulfed the planet. During that time, Carmilla carved a reputation for being ruthless and cruel with her bloodlust being so great that it offended the Lord of the Vampires. This king of the Nobility decided to end her reign and whilst she slept, he impaled her with a sword in her sleep thus leaving her body to rot whilst her spirit was confined within her haunted Castle of Chaythe. Over the centuries that followed, she remained trapped within her Castle but eventually learnt of the Noble Meier Link and his love for the Human Lady Charlotte. Seeing an opportunity to bring about her resurrection, Carmilla hired the Barbarois to protect Count Link and offered him shelter at her Castle. After learning of Meier Link and Charlotte's desire to reach the stars to live in peace in their forbidden romance, Carmilla sensed a means to bring about her resurrection. She paid the Barbarois to guard the couple and escort them to her castle. Once there, she used her powers of illusion to leave Meier trapped in his mind and drink Charlotte's blood. She takes Charlotte and gives her the kiss of Noblity, allowing Charlotte's blood to feed Carmilla and revive her physical body.
Overview
Personality and attributes
Her reputation led her being known also as the Bloody Countess due to the terrible acts she had committed.
She was known for her vanity as well as her bloodthirsty nature to the point that it repulsed the Vampire King himself namely Dracula. Her mindset was that she believed in the superiority of the vampire race as well as the Nobility. She believed that the humans were little more than cattle to them and were as inferior to them as their lifestock was to themselves. Thus, she believed in the maintenance and power of her species that was dwindling in later years. She further expressed her belief that the vampire spirit was eternal and she did not believe that their race would ever die. Furthermore, she expressed nothing but disappointment and disgust with those dhampirs that hunted the vampire race as she believed they were hunting their own kind to extinction. During such conversations with dhampirs, she claimed that such vampire hunters should feel shame at hunting their ancestors as she was one of the oldest of her kind.
Ruthless, cruel, and given to torture and blood letting she is known as the Bloody Countess. She for more than 5,000 years caused as much pain and misery as possible. She may not have always been as such, as the Sacred Ancestor came to love her at one time. The power she held along with the prestige may have corrupted her as the many years went by. With the betrayal of her lover, behind Carmilla's false compassion she has more than likely become scorned and indifferent to the feelings shared between Meier Link and Charlotte Elbourne.
She is very cunning and intelligent having been a ruler over the Nobility for so long she has access and may have been trained by the Sacred Ancestor in his technology, mystical knowledge, and the use of her own powers and abilities. This would make her far out match anyone in the Nobility in skill and mastery of all weapons, equipment, battle strategies, and implementations in real time scenarios.
Carmilla's ultimate goal following the death of her physical body was to acquire the blood of a Human which would allow her forms regeneration. Thus, she often tried to lull the innocent into her castle where she would try and tempt them with desires. Furthermore, during such meetings, she was well aware of her reputation and tried to downplay it by claiming that she was not the monster the people claimed that she was in order to lull others into a false sense of security.
