## Appearance

### Casual

Hemophila is a petite, fair-skinned Vampirean who is very prone to blushing and is frequently described as having a rather pretty face. She has slightly inward-tilting eyes, irises bright red and their pupils' thin slits. People can see her fangs in place of both her upper and lower canines. Her hair is a long pale, ash-blonde and is styled in drill-like pigtails, with smaller locks framing her face. Hemophila wears a UV repelling dresses and clothes, a veil over her face with a hood (Should she be outside to protect her from being burned by the sun’s UVs).

While inside, she wears what she sees as cute dresses and clothes.

### SIG Suit

A specialized S.I.G. suit that has been customized for her needs to repel UV radiation. The mouth section of her helmet opens for her to feed on the blood of her enemies. It comes with needle connected to tubes where hand size canisters are held on her arms and thighs for her to get a quick snack of blood for later should it be too dangerous for her to drink while fighting.

## Background

Hemophila was born sometime in 600 years ago as Vasilissa Absorbien, and was the middle child of Lord and Lady Absorbien's three children. At the age of forty, Hemophila, after accidentally attacking and began to drain the young man she was engaged with, discovered to be a Camazto, A Vampirean who cannot control their blood urges and was offered the choice of either a life spent in medical examination, or execution. Addicted to the process of draining, Hemophila chose to run. This caused Imperial Hunters, or Crusnieks, to chase her down.

For 400 years, Crusnieks chased Hemophila across Vampirean space, as Hemophila became more and more addicted to the rush she got from draining. On one planet, Hemophila corrupted an entire village and convinced them to worship her. The villagers offered their blood to her as sacrifices. When Samara arrived, Hemophila ordered her worshipers to attack the hunters in waves to cover her escape. By the time they were was finished, Hemophila had fled and only the youngest children of the village were left alive and unharmed.

Hemophila eventually left Vampirean space and traveled to find a place where she can belong. Hemophila is a Camazto, a Vampirean suffering from a rare blood disorder which causes her to kill her prey by draining them completely of blood, even other Vampireans. In turn she becomes smarter, more powerful, and deadlier after each draining. She has spent centuries as a fugitive from Vampirean justice, surviving by her wits, cutes, and cunning. Her powerful Blood abilities, and talent for dominating the minds of and killing of others, have kept her alive despite the odds until she was met by Thanatos who offered to assist her in her need to crave for blood and control it while allowing her to be safe from any who would harm her. And became Hemophila as a response. She trained under Thanatos like all the others until she became a member of the Thirteen Children of Thanatos, an event that literally made her jump for joy. As a member of the thirteen she does her job as efficiently as possible, but this can be overdone by her bloodlust making her to do more than intended.

## Personality

Hemophila is a very cheerful girl, who tends to act like childlike, joyous, and happy-go-lucky to the point of smiling even after having presumably killed someone, displaying apparent sadistic tendencies. This continues even when danger is imminent, as when someone was about to attack her, but it tends to stop when she is bored or annoyed. Hemophila is frequently seen blushing seemingly out of excitement rather than embarrassment, giving her a permanent look of what appears to be love sickness on her face. However, she has shown that she can easily be embarrassed, such as when she thinks people are coming on to her. With people around her she seems to act bubbly and nonchalantly where some may find this annoying.

Hemophila is obviously mentally unstable and has a very twisted perception of love and friendship due to her condition as a Camazto. Proven when, despite wanting to kill Gwen and Rei, she attempted to befriend the two girls as they fought, affectionately calling the latter by her first name and describing the former as "lovely". When talking to Gwen, she said that it was only natural to want to be like the one you love, to the point of literally become like that person. Later she further explains and compares that like how "normal" people kiss the people they love as "normal", she sucks the blood of the people she loves as this is her "normal", further showing her twisted understanding of love, which thus justifies her carving up and butchering "guys who are tattered and reeking of blood", as they fit the description of her ideal lover. Hemophila's interest isn't just superficial, as her questioning Isaac Shepard about what his values and beliefs imply, showing that although twisted, she does indeed want to know more about the person she "loves". Hemophila is quite courageous, or at least very confident when using her Blood ability. She also has shown a comedic and childlike demeanor when faced with different situations, such as when she was with one of her new siblings and insult their powers. With an enemy that she knows is weak she treats fighting them like it was a game. She also does not seem to like feeding on the blood of children as she says they’re too cute for her to feed on.

Like most of her allies, Hemophila has stated that she finds life to be difficult for the current world and wants to make it an easier place to live in. She looks up to Thanatos and sees him as her role model and true father; declaring a desire to kill and "become" like him (possibly in reference to her power). In stark contrast to her maniacal nature, Hemophila has shown a very supportive side as she comforts someone on her side or even children. By extension, she is shown to care greatly about her comrades and was enraged enough by Palindra's death that she initially wanted to kill Adam as payback. Hemophila is also shown to be prone to mood swings when she finds a target of "affection" (often Isaac) she is loud and cheerful. However, when an obstacle gets in between her and her prey, she shows a very angered expression, instantly switching priorities to kill whoever the nuisance is. This need and careless showing for love seem to stem from the fact that when she was discovered to be Camazto everyone became afraid of her thinking she would be a monster who will kill them to satisfy her hunger.

In the past, Hemophila was noted by her family and former classmates to be, "a cheerful, reasonable, well-mannered girl" whose subsequent turn to a life of crime surprised everyone who knew her. However, her own recollections imply that this was merely an act she put on to try and fit in with what society deemed "normal." She believes the way she acts presently is her own normal. Thanatos theorizes that her twisted personality came off as a result of her blood condition, thus prompting a natural inclination towards it, and by proxy her non "normal" behavior, which was later emphasized due to societal norms. Hemophila loves her adopted family so much that gives the ones who joined the Thanatos’ children before her, despite their age difference, the affectionate “Big Bro” or “Big Sis” before their names. And for the younger or newer ones she affectionately calls them “Lil Bro” or “Lil Sis”. Should she be injured enough to hurt her or outmatched she’ll start losing control, becoming more frantic, obstreperous, and aggressive, dropping all manner of her cheerful demeanor until either someone comes to her aid or she finds a way to win.

* **Silver Poisoning**: As a Vampirean, Silver or silver like elements are deadly to the vampireans and the barillus ‘virus’ in their blood if it doesn’t destroy their brains or their hearts.
* **Lycanpoid blood**: The blood of Lycanpoids are poisonous to Hemophila, even with her being a Camazto. This is likely that even the very blood of the two species want the other dead.
