I think some sort of variant (that could feed off positive emotions) would be a very cool thing... but that's kind of the mortal schtick.  We are uplifted and empowered by our love, by our joy.

We mortals are those "positive emotion" whamps!

Since when is good old fashioned "lust" a negative emotion? ??? Nothing negative about it, all of the Raith victims die with a smile on their faces.. ::)

Malvora fear
Skavis despair

Are there other Houses in the White Court?  Wrath/hatred seems a "gimme," an easy emotion to whamp-ify.  Greed, maybe?

Or were there such Houses, but they lost whanppy-wars and are no longer known?

There is a House in Paranet Papers that feeds on Wrath. The Marinos. They're based in South America poses as a Crime Family. They're one of the factions scrambling for power after the Red Court fell.


--- Quote ---The dead man had clearly beaten her
badly and she had fed on his wrath. The rage of
his beating had only strengthened her, fueled the
demon within her

--- Quote ---Wait, she feeds on rage? I know we speculated that there might be WCVs out
there who ate anger, but Alejandra’s actually
found an entire secret family of them?
Maybe. She claims the Marinos are
unaffiliated so, yeah, it’s possible
they’re wrath-eaters. It’s also possible
they feed on fear like a certain family
we already know about, and Alejandra
just misinterpreted what she saw.
Honestly, it’s hard for me to imagine that Lara
Raith doesn’t know about these guys. If they’re
operating down here, I ’d bet it’s under her
watchful eye, if not by her explicit permission.

--- Quote --- A family of White Court vampires lives
here—the Marino family, natives all—nearly ten
vampires, though they keep their nature a secret
from both mortals and supernaturals alike, and
they are not affiliated with the White Court
proper. I stumbled upon their secret when I first
met Eva and realized what she was.
We have been observing them since the
Red Court’s destruction, and since that time
numerous White Court vampires have visited
the Marinos, but never for more than a few days
at a time, and never in groups larger than two at
a time. If the White Court is up to something,
it seems the Marino family is involved in it.
Perhaps they are preparing to take their place in
the White Court

They've got a corrupt politician in their pocket as well, there's an entire page on him but he thinks they're just a crime family.

  There was a fanfiction speculating on that a while back.

It doesn't have to be, of course.
But it's much easier to slide down that ramp to a really bad place, than if it were genuine love.
(n.b. many people mistake mixes of [other things]+lust for "love," when it isn't)

And the Whamps are past masters of nudging people onto that slide.

Conspiracy Theorist:
The Beige Court, they feed of boredom and frustration and are headed by house Colin Robinson.
