Lenore

— BASICS —

— FIRST IMPRESSIONS —

APPEARANCE A petite young woman with vibrant red hair in a mass of curls down her back. With her red eyes, pointed ears and sharp teeth, she doesn't easily pass for human unless she's veiled (though she does quite like veils).

CLOTHING Lenore is almost always wearing gowns, as luxurious and lavish as she can afford, and a tasteful (but still lavish) amount of silver jewelry.

DEMEANOR Sweet-tempered and gentle, Lenore defaults to either warm friendliness or helpless innocence. She's generally eager to please and genuinely interested in learning as much as she can about others. Her mannerisms are literally those of a medieval princess, and she is accustomed to courtly etiquette, which she falls back on as a default whenever she's uncertain. As she relaxes, she increasingly shows a dry humor and may also show hints that she's used to (and seeks) having power over others.

AURAL Link

OLFACTORY Canonically described as having a scent "like jasmine and wine."

— SKILLS —

VAMPIRE PHYSIOLOGY Lenore has superhuman strength and speed, though she is weak compared to other vampires in her canon. She doesn't age and is not harmed by human diseases or most human poisons. She is, however, harmed by holy water and holy weapons. Silver and garlic are not a problem, nor is water (as long as it's not blessed). Sunlight is extremely fatal--vampires in Castlevania hit by sunlight die instantly.

BLOOD DRINKING Lenore needs a certain amount of blood in her diet to live, though Castlevania vampires are explicitly shown to be able to eat human food and live off of animal blood without a problem.

REGENERATION Like other vampires, Lenore is able to heal quickly. She can heal bruises and shallow cuts at will, deeper wounds in a few days, and severe injuries in a few weeks.

TORPOR At will or in times of near-mortal injury or shock, Lenore may enter a state of torpor. In this near-comatose state, she can be mistaken for a corpse and has no signs of life, though her physical state does not deteriorate and she has no need of fresh blood (though starvation will set in after about a decade in this state).

BAT SWARMING Lenore has the ability to transform her body into a swarm of bats, which allows her to evade opponents and travel swiftly.

AIR MIMICRY Similarly, Lenore can transform her body into mist, allowing her to phase through certain obstacles (such as prison bars).

LEVITATION She can hover a few inches off the ground with no difficulty and no time limit (as long as she's not in a starving state). She can move in any direction up to human running speed but for no more than an hour.
