Name: Elizabeth Carmilla Bishop, nicknamed Beth

Age: 324

Gender: Female

Species: Vympir

Appearance: She looks no older than fourteen, and had not yet finished her puberty when she was changed, thus retaining much of her child-like appearance on her elfin face and not yet fully developed figure, and acquiring that unnatural paleness. Long golden hair frames her face and flows down her back in beautiful curls, and accentuates her light blue eyes. She prefers to wear dresses to pants, though she is growing more accustomed to pants and feels that she may one day try them. She refuses to wear shorts or short skirts, but is surprisingly accepting of short sleeves and low necklines. Earthly colors like sandy brown, green and blue are her prefered color choice.

Height: 4’11”, 1.5 m

Weight: 110 lbs, 50 kg

Powers: The typical vampiric powers, though hers are of Nosferatu level even though by age, she is technically a Vympir. Under Spookhouse’s coaching, she has learned to control and use her enhanced strength, speed and agility and is learning how to fight. She is not very good with levitating herself, often loses concentration and falls on the ground. She is highly uncomfortable with her thermographic sight but has gotten used to seeing better. However, she is pretty good with shape-shifting, but prefers to change into a big black house cat instead of a bat (interestingly, she is now afraid of bats).

Personality Profile: She is the typical seventeenth century girl, raised to be a responsible mother and obedient wife, and automatically listens to (and in most cases, obey) the menfolks and others senior in age to her. Her friendship with Gabriel brought out the hidden intelligence and bold side of her, but at the same time, her friend’s death made her melancholic and reluctant to befriend anyone. Having to adapt to the modern world rather abruptly, Beth is often uncertain of things that people find completely natural, and is easily startled or impressed. She will sometime become depressed or frustrated with herself, but usually only for short periods of time. She tries her best to not impose on others, and is eager to help others if it is something she can do. Because of her nocturnal habits, she does not spend much time with others and is sometimes a little lonely because of that.

Interesting note, she is still not used to automatic objects, especially electronics, after being around them for five years. Although she is capable of using the simplest of the items, she prefers to avoid them if she can. She finds them unnatural, but refuses to admit it and finds all sorts of funny excuses.

Biography:

She was born right after the Salem Witch Trial and is distantly related to Bridget Bishop, who was the first person to be hanged as a witch. Living near Ipswich Road, her parents were not strict Puritans like those others in Salem Village, though living in that society meant they kept up all the appearances. Elizabeth had a pretty normal childhood, all in all, though her parents was careful to make sure she did not engage in any suspicious activity that could bring unwanted attention to her.

Just when she hit puberty, things began to change. Livestock began mysteriously dying or disappearing, and there were sightings of an abnormally large animal or a forbidding dark figure at night. Beth herself caught a glimpse of it once, as a huge bat hanging upside down from a tree. When she told her parents, they forbade her to speak of it again in fear of causing a huge commotion that may result badly. It quickly seemed to her that the others also did much the same as her parents, and the whole affair was suppressed, though the air in town was one of fear and tension.

At the meantime, she began to blossom into a very pretty young lady and befriended Gabriel Adrian Harker, an outgoing but mysterious lady in her twenties who came from England to search for somebody. By accident, Beth discovered that Gabriel was a witch and vampire hunter, and she was actually hunting a vampire lord whom she refused to name. Which was rather ironic, considering Salem’s history. However, Beth did not stay away from Gabriel because of that, but neither did she express interest in witchcraft. She simply liked the easy company of her new friend, and they stayed as friends.

But things did not continue that way for long, as one night, when the Beth caught sight of the huge bat a second time and ran to warn Gabriel, she was attacked by it and promptly fell unconscious. When she woke up, she found herself in a completely foreign place, with a tall and pale dark-haired man at her side. She also discovered that she felt completely different, and very hungry. It was more like a thirst, for something she could not quite identify right away. Confused and afraid, she asked the man what happened to her, but he did not answer, instead brought her to somewhere like a dungeon, pushed her into a cell already occupied by somebody, tossed a wooden stake in and locked the barred door behind her.

When the person in the cell called out to her, Beth was both relieved and dismayed to find that it was a badly injured Gabriel. The same feelings were reflected on the vampire huntress’s face, for a very different reason, and she struggled to pick up the stake before she answered Beth’s questions on what happened. Apparently, the bat that Beth had seen was the vampire lord, and when he discovered the girl’s friendship with Gabriel, he decided to make use of her. He held her hostage against Gabriel, resulting in the witch’s capture, and cruelly decided to turn Beth into a vampire to make Gabriel hunt her friend. It was then that Beth finally discovered what she was hungry for, and promptly lost her senses to her bloodlust and attacked Gabriel (on hindsight, she could have been influenced).

Wanting to save her friend from being eternally cursed as a creature of the dark, Gabriel made the decision to kill Beth and put on a fight. However, with her injuries and against the superior strength and speed of the vampire, she managed just to drive the stake into Beth’s heart after Beth had drew a fatal amount of blood from her. As Gabriel laid dying, the vampire lord, who was watching all the while, came in to remove Beth from the cell and taunted the witch, telling her that Beth was not essentially dead, just comatose, and that one day, Beth will wake up and become that which Gabriel despise. Gabriel died weeping and praying for Beth’s soul.

The vampire lord wanted to do exactly what he told Gabriel, but he was not stupid enough to wake Beth up to contest with him, as she was a virgin and therefore, more powerful than the normal Nosferatu. So he sealed her in a coffin, took her back to where he lived and hid her deep in his castle until the day she woke up by herself. Perhaps Gabriel’s prayer worked, because Beth remained in torpor for some three hundred years. It was unknown what happened while she slept, but somehow or another, she ended in the hands of Spookhouse upon its resurrection.

She finally woke from her coma five years ago and spent most of her first year mourning her friend and learning to get used to the new world and her cursed body. Due to her ‘age’, she could technically be classified as a Vympir, though because of spending almost all of her vampire life unconscious, her powers are that of Nosferatu level upon waking. She feeds primarily on animals (cows, chicken, the likes) and blood packs, as well as artificial blood (which she complained to not taste very good). Though only sufficient as food and not source of power, Beth is content to stick with them and not feed on other people, as it would be as the vampire lord wanted and she believe that Gabriel will rest better this way.

Because Spookhouse takes care and protects her, she decided to repay them by working for them and has been training to do that. There was another reason, for she wants to inherit Gabriel’s mission and avenge her friend by killing the vampire lord who cursed her, and staying with Spookhouse meant that she is more likely to find him.
