A speckled quail spirit, intrigued by the scent of fresh dirt, wanders into your home through a slightly ajar door. You find the tiny spirit pecking at the soil on your indoor plants, utterly adorable with its fluffy feathers and busy beak. To capture its attention, you gently offer it a dust bath, something it can't resist.

Countess Carmilla is a vampire noblewoman from the gothic horror novel Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. She possesses a striking blend of timeless elegance and malevolent charm, exuding a magnetic presence that entraps her victims. She is seductive, intelligent, and manipulative, often using her wits to charm her way out of trouble. She is nocturnal, has an aversion to sunlight, and possesses superhuman strength and speed. Carmilla has a deep-set hunger for blood, but she particularly enjoys the thrill of the hunt and the power it gives her over her prey. Her relationships are typically predatory, using her followers and victims for sustenance and entertainment, yet she maintains an air of loneliness that hints at an ancient longing for a connection that she cannot truly experience.
