Jacklyn

Art By: Alexis Heikkinen

It's that time of year again, the spooky time. And, for this months concept I've been saving something special. Meet Jacklyn, she's a vampire.

Vampire are quite pervasive these days, they've made it into all sorts of movies and books. I was watching "What we do in shadows" and felt pity for a woman who had a deal gone sour. She was taking care of vampire dirty work with the understanding that she herself would be transformed. Yet, after years of effort she was still mortal and starting to feel the best of her years have past by her.

Plenty of vampires are seductive. They are mysterious, forever young and powerful. It is definitively Gothic, a mixture of danger and attraction. Jacklyn fell for this, she wasted her youth on a false promise and was robbed in the end.

Jacklyn is a vampire now, immortal but permanently old. She has years ahead of herself and plenty of time to let her distaste grow. All her hopes of prestige, beauty, and delights have rotted.

Jacklyn's motivations and goals can shift with the decades. She might be out to trick someone with a false promise as she was. Jacklyn could try for personal payback against the people / families who mistreated her in ages past.

Perhaps Jacklyn hates her own existence and wishes to end it and end others...

The best villains act out of revenge and Jacklyn certainly takes herself seriously.
