Well... she's dead so... not too good. At first, even by vampire standards she's considered. She has been tortured by some vampire hunters for a while, which left her very weak, mostly form blood loss, but how the torture affected her powers is never really explained. She gets better though.

Fluid and gracefully. Sometimes she'll sway when she walks. She does love to dance after all.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror?
Very attractive and she knows it. She'll sometimes use her sex appeal to lure in her victims and even with her obvious insanity, people seem drawn to her and her beauty.

Very pale and possibly scarred from torture she had endured from her sire. There doesn't seem to be any visible scarring, but she always has on a lot of clothing.

Dark brown hair that's slightly thick but very manageable. It's originally straight but she'll sometimes wear it in curls.

Originally their blue, but when she "vamps out" they'll turn a cat like yellow.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
Not really. When she's wearing her human face she looks like a normal young woman. When she shows her demon face though, her forehead gets bumpy, her eyes turn yellow, her fangs stick out and she'll slightly resemble a very angry looking cat.

She'll have painful headaches when she's having a vision. When she's ill her head hurts a lot and she had lots of dizzy spells.

Rich Victorian casual. The colors are always dark. The brightest color she will wear is white or a deep red.

Sometimes they tightly fit, but usually they're nice flowing dresses and she always looks comfortable. Even if they did hurt a little, she'd probably like it.

She doesn't work, so yeah.

Victorian undergarments. But if she's dressed more modern I wouldn't put it past her to go commando.

Soft and child like.

She just says whatever comes to her head. No real filter unless she feels it wont be in her best interest to speak.

A little of both. In this day and age she would be considered very eloquent and articulate since she speaks in old English, but back in her time she would be considered simple, since she speaks like a child.

Street-smarts mostly but she has a lot of them. People often underestimate her because of her obvious insanity and frail demeanor, but she's actually very bright.
2. Does she think on her feet, or does she need time to deliberate?
It's hard to say really. Her mind is such a jumbled mess that it can seem impossible for her to hold onto a thought for very long, but if she really wants something she can and will put the effort into it. Often she'll get a pawn to do all the hard work for her, but usually she's just goes on a whim and lets the stars be her guide.

None really. Women weren't very educated back in her time.

Murder, mayhem, chaos and just all around evil? She loves seeing others in pain, she loves CAUSING people pain, she takes delight in misfortune of all kinds and if it ends in lots of blood;. she'll love it even more!

When she was ill, she was introverted and relied heavily on Spike to do everything for her. Once she was healed though she was very outgoing and playful.
7. Describe the character's temperament. Is she even-tempered or does she have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?

8. How does she respond to new people or situations? Is she suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
Oh so very enthusiastic to eat all the pretty new people.
9. Is she more likely to act, or to react?
Hm... it really depends on the situation. Sometimes she'll get bored and decide to poke the bear a little but usually she'll sit back and observe before doing anything.
