Vampire Disorder

**Vampress** or the **Vampire Disorder** is the Disorder of Bloodsucking and is manifested through the leeching of every drop of blood. She was the tritagonist and a central character in Part 1 of the *Hitman Runnerman Novel* Series.

## Appearance

### Fragmented State

The Vampire Disorder was found beaten to near-death on the coast of Qaqortoq, Greenland in the year 1975 and was sent to the United States in order to be put down and exorcised. In the year 1979, the preserved disorder was force-fragmented, which lead to 30% of it being exorcised. The rest of it was force possessed into a three weeks old girl from Romania, who lost her parents in war. Vamp grew like a normal human would physically.

Vamp was a beautiful girl, her face was often compared to that of a doll, even managing to stun Widow due to her appearance. Her skin was abnormally pale and due to the disorder she was possessed by, her fangs were dangerously sharp. She had long black hair and hollow green eyes, and was often seen dressing herself up in gothic fashion and glamorizing her face in makeup.

## Personality

Vamp was smart and confident, being raised by the government in order to be the ''perfect woman''. Her intellect was stressed on when it was said that she started developing speech practice at just two months old. At first glance, she was shown to be sassy and conceited, calling Graves and Jackie's shock to her reveal ''little minded''. She had immediately shut down any dirty thought that ran through Jackie's head, making it clear to him that he would not ever come close to feeling her touch. Unlike the rest of the disorders from the Alaska Experiment, she was seen acting her body's physical age, showing a keen interest in makeup, fashion, rock music and bands. Due to her human-like nature, she was also shown behaving in a mature manner, that of high emotional comprehension. An example of this is noted when she cried over Jackie saying that his duty as an executioner permitted him to exorcise her at any given time, feeling a sense of exclusion and loneliness.

Despite her confident attitude as a disorder, she was seen getting nervous over Graves and Jackie trying her cake that she made for successfully completing Wayne's training program, pointing to the fact that she genuinely did care for them and what they thought about her. She later barged into their room after ''shot-gunning'' the biggest one because of a nightmare, being too shy to tell them that she was scared, much to the guys' half-awake surprise.

Even with her telling Jackie that he would ''never feel her touch'', she became very clingy and attached to him. Vamp was frequently seen sitting on his lap, dressing up for him, asking him for advice on what type of makeup and clothes he would prefer and holding his arm, displaying a heightened sense of femininity and reliance. She was never seen sleeping with anyone else and would beg for him to return to bed each time he would get up. In public, to avoid bothersome male gaze and attention, she would often tell people that Jackie was her boyfriend, showing a stern contradiction to her first statement.

With her and Graves' relationship starting off comparatively okay, they got along well enough to act as comrades. Their dynamic got noticeably stronger when they were able to be vulnerable around one another, when she put emphasis on wanting to still be alive ''after everything was over''. She timidly thanked Graves for feeding her his blood to save her life, promising she would owe him later on. The significance of their connection is highlighted on further when she started bawling profusely after he had hugged her following a long day of work.

Succeeding her encounter with the Blindness Disorder through the events of the May 7th Incident, much like every other survivor, she developed intense PTSD and a severe traumatic response to common day occurrences. She fell into a sea of depression, being unable to stay alone without freaking out and feeling immense discomfort in sleeping without Jackie. Her paranoia was played up on more when she refused to let Annabelle out of her sight, assuredly being very cautious upon the Sorrowing Disorder's arrival.

After Jackie's death, Vamp was unable to properly process or comprehend any of what had happened. Her eyes ended up red from all the tears, as seen when Graves checked up on her. The following night, she sought security by sleeping with Graves, leading to a conversation about both of them not knowing what to do next. In fear of losing Graves, she gets on top of him and on receiving the signal to his consent, she bites his neck connecting their blood and conscious.

In her final moments, she apologizes to Graves for not being able to protect him and Jackie properly, showing an overwhelming feeling of guilt. During their last talk, she says she wished that she had got married to someone and lived a long life, a life without any regret or stress. After sharing her dreams, she says that she was stupid and that ''a dream like her's is too human for a disorder to have''.

### Pacts and Contracts

* **Graves Runnerman**: To date, Graves has made only one known pact with the Disorder of Bloodsucking. At death's door, the pact was made inside the hitman's conscious mind under the conditions that the Vampire Disorder would save him from passing by regenerating parts of his body and lending her sense of taste to his axe in exchange to kill the Mercy Disorder. The pact was not terminated even after Iris' death due to the Mercy Disorder's mutilated body parts being quarantined instead of exorcised.
