Rebecca

She was a high ranking vampire that sees very little use in human life.

## Character Description

*“Rebecca looks at humans with a detached fascination that's ALMOST as unsettling as she is. A power player in the vampire hierarchy, Rebecca is probably more trusted by her enemies than her allies.”*

## Personality

Rebecca appears to be very strong and independent. She is quietly sadistic and authoritative, using the threat of death and pain to get her way. She seems to take interest in the most unexpected things, such as sex with a human without self-pleasure and Sheema, whom she caught stealing from her room; however, these also indicate that Rebecca is plotting unspoken plans. She may have always intended to kill her human lover, whether or not he managed to please her. She may be performing mind games on Sheema; from letting her leave with the plans to the bank, to saving her from Campbell and offering her a better life.

## Physical description

### General Appearance

Rebecca is a relatively tall, pale woman with red or auburn hair and dark eyes. She is considered to be one of the most intimidating Vampires by far in the series due to her regal demeanour.

### Wardrobe

Rebecca regularly wears dark clothes most notably tight leather pants.

## Abilities

Like Dmitri, Rebecca is known as one of the ancient vampires, meaning she would have all the common abilities found in vampires, including but not limited to advanced strength, speed, senses, healing and longevity. As an ancient, it is possible that she has more abilities uncommon in young vampires, but this has not been proven. However, Rebecca is extremely powerful as she was able to go toe-to-toe with Vanessa in what appeared to be a pretty even contest for a moment.
