She was a practitioner of forbidden arts. The elders decreed combat should only be fought with tooth and claw, or perhaps the sword. Of course, such weapons would be harmless to her fellow vampires. She pursued the art of the stake.

If she would prey on her own people, she would cull the worst to preserve the herd, as a gardener prunes a branch.
