Still Falling Carmilla
The First Vampire — a pure Others-clan demon who invented bat-to-vampire transformation, founded the eight pledged demon clan realms, and withdrew into a private lifeforce pocket centuries ago. Heaven still fears her from the Year 9 rampage; most of the world believes she is dead or inactive while her true tier has grown far beyond public belief.
Appearance
- Height: ~161 cm — short next to May; presence reads larger than stature
- Hair: Long brunette
- Skin: Glowing lifeforce read — lit from within, not warm human color
- Build: Slender, graceful carriage
- Face: Graceful, mysterious — progenitor stillness rather than warmth
- Eyes: Red, glowing — secrets held in the gaze
- Mark: Does not wear Carmilla's Clan Symbol; she owns the design (May, Gu Xian are carriers)
Personality
Pre-fall bat temperament persists: enjoys sleep and nesting in her pocket realm. Trouble-averse, not fight-averse — avoids drawn-out escalation that might wake Heaven's hidden upper tier. Centuries without public appearance reflect nesting preference, not weakness.

Abilities
| Topic | Rule |
|---|---|
| Lifeforce realms | Sustains pocket and Portals by lifeforce — no Magical Crystals; no other demon replicates this |
| Pledge sense | With May, knows every pledged member's Level and location |
| Vassal rescue | Instant teleport to a direct vassal in mortal danger (Year 9 for May) |
| Conversion | May assign any rank below hers on her turns — not locked to 1:1 |
| Combat | True Vampire Title; dark magic and lifeforce offense — see Bloodline — Demon |
Relationships
May — direct vassal; turned her BC 2658; shares tribute; enforcer across eight clans.
Sekhmet — approved May's rescue at Year 1988; Feline clan real loyalty toward Carmilla.
Daniel — nearly killed at Year 9 rampage; grudge unresolved but May talked Carmilla down.
