Maggie the Younger

BrainFireBob:
Most of them did. The youngest went back to being mortal with ripping tattoos. Depends on whether their mortal half could survive once the vampire half died. Rather sounded like aging caught up with them all at once.

Yeah, that was the reason that Hannah Asher had a revenge boner for Harry. We also saw a bunch of them after Chicken Pizza:


--- Quote from: Changes Chapter 49 ---The Red Court was dead. Gone. Every one of them. Most of the remains were little more than black sludge. That, I thought, marked the dead vampires. The half-breeds, though, only lost the vampire parts of their nature. The curse had cured them.

Of course, it was the vampire inside them that had kept them young and beautiful.

I saw hundreds of people on the ground aging a year for every one of my breaths. I watched them wither away to nothing, for the most part. It seemed that half-breeds came in a couple of flavors - those who had managed to discipline their thirst for blood, and thus carried on for centuries, and those who had not been half-vampires for very long. Very few of the latter had ranked in the Red King's Court. It turned out that most of the young half vampires had been working for the Fellowship, and many had already been killed by the Reds - but I heard later that more than two hundred others had been freed from their curse.

Thank you.  That's exactly the conversation I was thinking of.

--- Quote ---I think you're missing what I'm saying. If somebody got half-turned in Summer Knight, then they're a younger half-ramp than Susan was, so it's possible their ramp half counted as younger than Susan the ramp. They could still be a half ramp, or they could have succumbed to the thirst after Changes and become a full ramp.

I get what you are saying, however a half vamp, isn't a vamp, in fact as the Order of St Giles showed, more human than vamp.  Lose it and kill, then all vamp.  That is how the curse worked, it didn't matter that there might be more recent half vamps around, they don't count as vamps. Susan was the latest to become ALL vamp, thus she was the youngest, when Harry cut her throat, the dominoes began to fall.

Well actually they do count. Sort off. Their vampire part is killed by the curse so that must be somewhere in the mechanism.
