Sanctaphrax:
The Vampire Groupie works better as a template than as a single NPC in my opinion. In order to convert a human NPC to a vampire groupie:

-Add "Vampire Groupie" or some variation thereof to the High Concept.
-Add "Venom Addict" aspect if the groupie is affiliated with the Red Court.
-Add "Emotionally Dominated" aspect if the groupie is affiliated with the White Court.
-Add "Brainwashed" aspect if the groupie is affiliated with the Black Court.
-Add the following stunt (which may bring the groupie down to zero refresh, showing that they've lost their free will):
Very Tasty (Endurance): Each scene spent feeding on this character with Blood Drinker or Emotional Vampire counts as two for the purpose of alleviating hunger stress from the Feeding Dependency power. In addition, a character who kills you with the Taste Of Death trapping of Emotional Vampire or Blood Drinker may recover as though they spent an entire session healing rather than a single scene.

I'm not totally satisfied with the stunt, but it'll do.

As you can see, the generic valkyrie is substantially weaker than Gard. But this stat block does not contain all of her powers and stunts. Because of my uncertainty about which of Gard's abilities come from herself and which come from her job, I decided to leave most of the generic Valkyrie's refresh open. Possible powers and stunts include Inhuman Strength, Supernatural Recovery, Rune Magic, Marked By Power, Berserker, Rider, and Improved Supernatural Senses.
