I had way too much coffee while working on this copy edit, and over dinner, began to wonder: Where is the Black Court Elder?
Why, the place it would hurt Harry the most, of course.
Carmilla The first true Gothic Vampire
Major source for all following, such as Dracula, Lestat, Jean-Claude..
In the public domain, so can be used
Using her would be very geeky
Jim is a geek god royale with cheese
Shape shifter
Master of illusions
Can walk in day
Only revealed at dawn
Can fully pass for human otherwise
Small frame, dark hair, slight figure
May be hurt by normal weapons, but heals, with the scars fading
Very poetic, well educated, and intelligent
Lesbian
Often becomes romantically obsessed with her food
Has one strange weakness- whatever name she uses must be based on her true name (Carmilla Karnstein)
Her last pseudo name was MarcillaThe Shaggy was used by a being that considered him merely cheap labor
While he attacked several people, he made sure to kill Kirby, the man who took Andi away..
Oh Quack !
(click to show/hide) it’s Marci

Didn't Murph confirm her identity in Aftermath? Seems to me even an uber-powered vamp like Carmilla should be subject to threshold laws.

Not according to the original source books- although im not sure if the issue is even mentioned as a concept. Carlilla's carriage breaks down outside of the estate, and she is invited in. However, she feeds off panel sevral times on various young ladies in the village- as well as prior in the county- and they certianly did not invite her in, or even know she was there.
the first specific 'have to be invited in' is Dracula.
as to what her appearnce and weaknesses are:
--- Quote ---I may mention, in passing, that the deadly pallor attributed to that sort of revenants, is a mere melodramatic fiction. They present, in the grave, and when they show themselves in human society, the appearance of healthy life. When disclosed to light in their coffins, they exhibit all the symptoms that are enumerated as those which proved the vampire-life of the long-dead Countess Karnstein.
How they escape from their graves and return to them for certain hours every day, without displacing the clay or leaving any trace of disturbance in the state of the coffin or the cerements, has always been admitted to be utterly inexplicable. The amphibious existence of the vampire is sustained by daily renewed slumber in the grave. Its horrible lust for living blood supplies the vigor of its waking existence. The vampire is prone to be fascinated with an engrossing vehemence, resembling the passion of love, by particular persons. In pursuit of these it will exercise inexhaustible patience and stratagem, for access to a particular object may be obstructed in a hundred ways. It will never desist until it has satiated its passion, and drained the very life of its coveted victim. But it will, in these cases, husband and protract its murderous enjoyment with the refinement of an epicure, and heighten it by the gradual approaches of an artful courtship. In these cases it seems to yearn for something like sympathy and consent. In ordinary ones it goes direct to its object, overpowers with violence, and strangles and exhausts often at a single feast.
The vampire is, apparently, subject, in certain situations, to special conditions. In the particular instance of which I have given you a relation, Mircalla seemed to be limited to a name which, if not her real one, should at least reproduce, without the omission or addition of a single letter, those, as we say, anagrammatically, which compose it.
Carmilla did this; so did Millarca.
