*"I need more blood..."* - Bloodless

## Profile

### Identity

Assassin's true identity is **Bloodless**, an ancient vampiress who has the power manipulate blood. She bathes thrice a day without fail. She resides in Dian Cécht Cathedral while bathing in blood, she drinks her victim's own blood in order to preserve her youth through the use of torture.

She is first found by Miriam soaking blood in her bathtub behind some curtains, and then proceeds to battle her in order to steal the heroine's blood. But is ultimately defeated by her.

## Appearance

Bloodless resembles a young woman with pale skin and long black hair. Initially found naked, taking a bath in blood (presumably, to keep herself young), she assembles a red dress made of blood before fighting Miriam. Her dress becomes more and more tattered as Miriam damages her, although she would refashion it after some time. Across her neck is a slash that bleeds down into her dress and fuses her own blood with the blood she forms her dress from.

### Personality

She's an ancient vampiress whom obtains blood to maintain her youthful appearance, which she priorities above all else. As a vampiress who seems to love her beauty and bathing in blood, is worried about the lack of humans meaning less blood for her to use, despite that she can get plenty from different types of monsters she encounters.

Bloodless is sadistically torture-loving demon who likes toying with her enemies while she fights, all the while clad in a dress made of blood.

## Abilities

Bloodless is a vampire with numerous magic power and abilites. Of course as a vampire, she has the ability to manipulate blood at will. Her clothing, parasol weapons, and even attacks are all made out of blood that she's controlling with her magic. As Bloodless obtains and drinks more blood, she gains more power. This is further emphasized when her upgrades in magic are gained are implied to belong to various powerful demons. Bloodless is able to manipulate streams of blood, using it for various purposes, from creating dresses and umbrellas to generating a swirling vortex and localized rain.

Bloodless attacks as if she's toying with her enemies, all the while clad in a dress made of blood. Her attacks can hit multiple times that can deal massive amounts of damage to slow or immobile enemies and she has a number of ways to attack enemies above her.

She wields a red parasol created with blood magic, when her parasol pops open: this not only greatly increases her damage, but it also knocks back any enemies she hits with it and automatically blocks any attacks mid-swing. Once she'll open up the parasol, the parasol will absorb any normal projectile attack that hits it, such as bullets, arrows, thrown weapons and ranged magic attacks. But can be overpowered with much stronger magic. Not only does she use her umbrella as a melee weapon, she also regularly conjures floating umbrellas that function as attack drones.

Bloodless has has 100% Resistance to both Curse and Petrification, due to her possessing dark magic in the form of blood. She's naturally quicker than Miriam and more maneuverable, but her only resistance is directed to curses, petrify plus a mediocre defence against darkness. She has a resistance to light that's in the negative numbers, meaning she'll actually take extra damage from attacks based on light. For some reason, her special attacks seem to be ice-elemental in nature, likely because that vampires are undead creatures and are much colder before when they turned, but also that ice is merely frozen water, and thawing it out will make your ice attack a water attack. Her ice-based is likely her Splender Needle, due to them being as sharp as crystals.

Bloodless has a weakness towards water. She can take damage when submerged in water until she finds an upgrade to protect her from it. Possibly because of the water-soluble nature of her dress and the source of her powers, if she is drenched in the water, her dress would melt away merging with water as it's made with blood. Bloodless however is a frail to attacks as she relys on her umbrella for defense. Additionally, Bloodless's blood dress will rip little by little each time Miriam damages her, and she will be forced to restore it by absorbing the splattered blood in her room once enough damage is done.

Despite her vunerabilities, as she can obtain blood for more strength, she can obtain larges amount of Mana really quick. Even her Blood Steal now recovers her mana much more instead of her health. Her dress also regenerates in real-time as her mana recovers.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Bloody Storm: "Swarm of a Crimson Storm"**

Her Noble Phantasm is to cause a sort of tornado of blood to travel along the area towards to wherever her enemy is at, before retreating to the other side. An image of Bloodless's true face appears in the tornado just short above the tornado.
Coming in contact with the tornado will have the person shreded piece by piece, their blood being drained by the Countess.
