Sleek and sinuous, the patrician vampire cuts a lithe figure in fine court attire, her coat a tailor's masterwork adorned with glittering samite the color of moonglow. For all her finery, there is something otherworldly about her features: they are too fine and unsullied by blemishes, and there is an ashen pallor to her skin that cannot wholly be concealed by powder and paint. Thin white fangs peek from between her blanched lips, giving her the appearance of being on the edge of a knowing smirk.
