Powers/Abilities:
Vampiric Physiology - Being a half-vampire, Vera ages slower than that of a normal human. Compared to most half-vampires, she actually retains the enhanced strength, durability, stamina, speed, and senses of a vampire. Consuming the blood of humans also increases her strength as well as allowing her to heal faster when injured. She can even summon bat familiars that will swarm around her and protect her like a shield. However, Vera does show an obvious weakness towards sunlight. She doesn't burn from it but she will become drained and become tanned easily if she doesn't cover her skin with enough sunscreen. She's not immune to crosses either. Holding or touching a cross can still burn and scar Vera's skin if she's not careful. The same can be said for holy water.
Personality: Vera is a calm yet confident young woman that has her own priorities in mind over that of others. That said, she rarely prioritizes anyone above herself. This can come across as both a good thing and a bad thing for her. She's always someone who makes plans without help from others and puts more important things at the top of her list to tend to over what she feels are "minor inconveniences". Doing this has made her efficient at problem-solving. She respects individuals who can deal with their own issues without assistance from someone else. This mindset of hers makes others view her as standoffish, especially when she's offered help and Vera shows visible confusion as to why anyone would need to help her. That said despite not being as emotionally open towards others she is friendly. And often takes interest in people who show a different attitude than others.
She doesn't allow insults from others to bother her either, for as many times as she's been called a "blood bag" and other derogatory terms used for vampires in a negative way, Vera is unphased by them. She does seem to dislike seeing others act rather weak should she view them as having potential within themselves. It's why she personally doesn't think much about the secondary gender system. Everyone is a person first and their secondary gender comes second to her. It's also why she doesn't focus heavily on finding a mate either. It may be something she desires but it isn't the main focus. Vera would much rather have casual flings than settle down. Feeling that she has all the time in the world to settle and isn't in any rush to bound herself to anyone. Outside of this, Vera enjoys hiking as it allows her to clear her mind whenever she's alone. She enjoys photography as well. Given that it earns her quite a bit of money which she uses to buy fancy clothing.

Face Claim: Fate/Apocrypha - Joan Alter
Appearance:
History: Vera was born to an Italian human woman who was an Omega and a nameless Vampire Alpha who was in and out of her mother's life before Vera's began. This made it so that neither had a real connection with him since he was never fully a part of their lives. It even hints that Vera's mother wasn't aware that her child's father was an immortal being which made matters worse for the woman's child. Those who knew Vera's mother felt that her very birth was corrupted and that she herself was tainted by evil and darkness.
As a child, Vera didn't understand why she was treated poorly by those she and her mother encountered. However, she was aware that something was very different about herself. The community was very vocal about it. Such as her unnatural hair and super pale skin. Another feature she had was unnaturally sharp teeth that Vera believed were normal. At least at first. Another instance was her constantly getting easily burned whenever she stayed in the sun too long, making her appear super tanned or even incredibly drained. This showed she was very different from the children in her community and they weren't shy about mocking her for it. Even down to the adults who were cruel to the poor child as they would push her aside the moment they saw her, saying such things like "no devil child is welcome here".
Things became worse when Vera became a teenager. She presented earlier than most at the age of ten and by the time she became thirteen, she was an overwhelming mess of what she felt to be a strange mixture of hunger and hormones. Vera discovered around this time that she wasn't fully human because she ended up attacking someone in the community who was mistreating her and aggressively drank their blood. Thankfully, she hadn't managed to kill them but due to that loss of blood, that individual was placed in the hospital and was in a coma. There was no doubt that this scared her greatly and she couldn't help but question her mother and ask her what was happening to her. Why was she drinking human blood as if it was normal? And why did it taste so good?
Her mother hadn't wanted to believe it was true but she had a feeling before her daughter was born that something just wasn't right. Not that she wouldn't love her any less because of it. But she told her that she had suspicions that Vera's father wasn't human but he wouldn't nor did he seem willing to disclose anything about himself. Much like any man she'd encountered before him, it was a one-time thing, and the next, he was gone out of her life. But she assessed that given what her daughter had told her, it was most likely she may have been a vampire. It would explain her sharp teeth and getting easily tired and tanned in the sun. But she also was stronger than others despite her smaller frame. The discovery scared her but it gave Vera an understanding as to why she and her mother were mistreated.
It was then that Vera decided that it was time to stop acting like a scared little girl and take matters into her own hands. She didn't have to resort to violence to put anyone in their place. No, having come to terms with the fact that she was different from everyone and that was something that couldn't be changed, she often used it to her advantage. Most of the time just being around made those in the community more nervous, especially when her features began to stand out more and she definitely took on her father's attributes despite having never met the man. But while Vera herself wasn't violent towards anyone outside of the one time she'd attacked someone for their blood, the community's response regarding her presence was more violent. They wanted her gone because they feared that she would corrupt and spread sin.
Vera didn't even care about how these people felt nor did she care about what they said. She began ignoring their insults and showing confidence in her acceptance of herself. This included occasionally hooking up with random drunk patrons at night just so she could drink their blood whenever she needed to feed. But she eventually grew bored of her hometown and decided to finally leave it at the age of eighteen. Deciding to hone her vampiric skills in order to protect herself, she's crossed paths with many that have constantly tried to take advantage of her only for them to regret it in the end. Her hands were stained with blood as she traveled across the country to find herself and somewhere to call home where she could just live and not be shunned. She found solace in the country of Japan and fell in love with the incredible beauty the country possessed. Wanting so much to encapture all of it. It's where her interest in photography began. Sure, her home country of Italy was beautiful but Vera found Japan to be breathtaking.
From then on, she'd decided to make a career out of photography with both modeling and landscapes. She would take on odd jobs that paid well in order to showcase her skills which took a couple of years for her to perfect. The language of the country, while confusing and a struggle to learn, Vera worked to show determination in wanting to remain in this country and take up residence here. That included learning the language. Now at age twenty-four, she's made quite a living for herself in Japan and remains in contact with her mother who stayed in Italy. Though Vera herself refuses to return to such a place where she was never wanted. It makes her happy that the two of them can still communicate while sharing her experiences with her mother who shows and tells her that she is happy for her daughter. Yes, for the first time in Vera's life, she is quite happy. Best of all, nobody cares that she is part vampire either.
