My underlying urge to create a sexy vampire character could be denied no longer! My fellow character-holic friends Melissa Miller, Kat Bongard, and Brianne Goetz all have creations for this world too.

AGE: 30

RACE: African-European -- vampire.

HEIGHT: 5'11"

WEIGHT: 139 lbs.

HAIR: Straight, soft, with wispy bangs brushed across her eyes. Longer strands frame either side of her face and taper upwards in a sloping cut so that her hair is short and choppy in the back. Her natural color is black (as evidenced by her eyebrows), but she dyes the top layer a creamy white-blond over a rich, bright green for a sort of funky "frosted" look.

EYES: Vivid emerald green. Typically she accentuates them with very dark, smoky makeup.

PIERCINGS: One barbell at the bottom outer corner of each eye (just above the cheek), three evenly-spaced barbells along each trapezoid (between her neck and shoulder), one in each earlobe, one through each nipple, and one in her bellybutton. Her jewellery is usually silver in appearance, but is actually made of titanium.

STYLE: Dark, gothic, bondage-esque, and elaborate. Like many of the nouveau riche -- as well as many artists -- Mikayla is a bit of an eccentric and enjoys dressing provocatively. Most days, she looks something like a punk or a dominatrix -- but with a certain elegance and stylishness well-suited to her nocturnal high-life and statuesque build. She likes accessories of all kinds, lots of jewellery, and mixtures of bright and dark colors. She is almost always accompanied by her beloved pet, Ambrose, a handsome white lion cub, who wears a spiked collar and walks obediently on a leash. Ambrose is her "familiar" and far more responsive to her command and affection than your typical animal would be.

PERSONALITY: For a vampire, Mikayla is surprisingly pleasant. Her enormous wealth has rendered her rather uncompromising, as she is accustomed to getting everything she wants, but the occasional display of snotty impatience or "assertiveness" cannot mask her underlying charm. She is friendly, engaging, confident, intelligent, creative, and seductive. Most folks like her... or at least respect her.

HISTORY: Mikayla originally comes from England... and from money. Her parents died when she was 20 and left her with an enormous fortune that she chose to spend on a lovely castle in the Swiss Alps, near the city of Chur, in which she currently lives and from which she operates her business. She is a massively popular erotic photographer and webmistress, specializing in sexy vampiric/gothic themes. She uses actual vampires as models whenever possible, under the guise of "good makeup and special effects" to the unknowing public. This has garnered the attention of actual vampires througout Europe, who are a bit divided on their opinion of her and her work -- is she shedding a dangerous and unwanted light on their secretive kind, or is she helping to bring them to the "mainstream" and dispel their monstrous reputation? (So that they may make peace with humankind... or get them within easier reach with their guard down?) Essentially, she has many supporters and enemies within the vampire community. All humans, on the other hand (including her own staff), are completely unaware of any real vampirism going on -- they think it's all just an eccentric artiste thing of hers. While the modeling/vampire world debates its opinion of her, however, she continues to enjoy unmitigated success in her ventures.
