Carmelita Alucard Loredana Teodora Margareta Tepes, is a non-pure-blood Lineal Vampire born into the Tepes Dynasty of Transylvania. She is the reigning Queen Regnant of Transylvania, and the Lunaculus of Eurodon. She is also a member of the worldwide Assassin Brotherhood, and the leader of the Transylvanian guild.

Carmelita is also known by her regnal name "Carmelita I," and was later given the epithet "Carmelita the Great" after her return from the Great Northern Aquilonis War. She also bears the nickname "Silver Bat", from which her personal knightly order draws it's name, but she dislikes being called by that.

Physical
Carmelita resembles her mother greatly. She has silver hair and pale skin, and is tall and slender.

Known Clothing
As Queen; in public, or at important meetings away from battle, Carmelita normally wears a silk long-sleeved, black dress with silver embroidering. During winter, this same type of dress is made of wool.

At balls, she wears a more elaborate black and silver ball-gown that leaves her shoulders exposed. She also wears matching long dress-gloves, silver earrings and a crinoline with the said dress. She also wears a necklace with a tear-shaped pendant displaying the Assassin insignia. Her hair is also tucked in a bun while wearing her ball-gown.

The crown she wears, when needed, is a silver tiara with a large ruby in the center and many small diamonds around it. Being married, Carmelita also wears a gold ring on her left ring finger.

Her Assassin attire is a Eurodonian-styled black Assassin robe and hood with leather armor consisting of spaulders, chest guard, vambraces and greaves that's been darkened for camouflage. Her personalized Assassin insignia is embroidered in silver on her shoulders. When in this attire, she ties her hair into a single braid down her back.

When going incognito, Carmelita wears a simple silk black dress (wool in colder times) with a grey sash and a grey hooded cloak and leather boots.

When leading her armies on the battlefield, she wears silver plate armor over mail. Her armor consists of an Armet with bat wings on the sides, a custom-made Cuirass that's been shaped for her breasts, Pauldrons, Couters, Gauntlets, Cuisses, Poleyns, Greaves, and Sabatons. Her personal insignia, absent of the Assassin symbol, is embossed on the front of her breastplate, and she wears a black cape with silver edges.

Personality
Carmelita grew up the first several years of her life sheltered and ignorant of the outside world. As such, she scared easily and often found herself in need of aide.

After joining the Assassins, her training made her grow more confident in herself, becoming a straightforward person, to the point that she was able to kill an opponent without fear.

Though a natural leader, Carmelita has no desire for leadership. She is more willing to let someone else take the reins, but her inability to defy her people leads her to fill the power vacuum instead. And as queen, unlike most other monarchs who normally let others run the kingdom in their stead, her reign is characterized by being more involved with domestic and foreign affairs. When in her own kingdom, she normally meets ambassadors personally instead of letting someone represent her.

Being a straightforward person, Carmelita had almost no spirituality before meeting her Ingodijan counterpart, and therefore was unable to call upon her past lives for guidance until that point.

She was also notorious for having a lack of confidence and self-doubt. Before and after her coronation, Carmelita expressed her feelings of unworthiness to be reigning monarch. After the Incident at Mount St. Fleur, it eventually reached the point that she, feeling as if she'd done little-to-nothing for the Alliance in the Great Northern Aquilonis War, decided to abdicate her throne. But her achievement of pulling Crepuscul from it's pedestal drove all such doubts from her mind.

As a wife and mother, Carmelita loves her family deeply. However, her love for them tends to lead her to act purely on blind emotion when she feels they are threatened. One example being, when her children were held hostage by the enemy during the Battle of Garvis, she almost gave in to the enemy's demands, and later trying to run off on a suicidal rescue mission, before being talked out of it.

Abilities
Carmelita is a natural leader, being able to come up with plans, sometimes on the spot, to hit the enemy where it hurts.

Thanks to her Assassin training, combined with her natural vampiric heritage, Carmelita is extremely agile, even for a vampire. This makes her a skilled free runner, and thus she can quickly navigate rooftops and other terrain with ease. She can also land lightly on her feet from a height of two stories.

Like all vampires, Carmelita possesses extraordinary healing abilities. As such, wounds and injuries that would normally take days, weeks or months to heal, heal within minutes, hours, or within a few days, depending on the extent of the injury. Carmelita also has enhanced hearing and sense of smell.

However, Carmelita is a Lineal Vampire, and therefore is still a mortal being, and can't survive fatal injuries. Examples being a fall from a higher height than her vampiric biology allows, or massive injury to a vital organ such as her heart. Also, being a non-pure-blood, she doesn't have the ability turn humans into vampires by bite.

As a Lunaculus, Carmelita has the ability to read a person's mind when she tastes their blood. This ability is normally only possessed by Progenitors, but Carmelita is the sole known exception. And when she taps into her inner self, she is able to spontaneously create and manipulate ice. Later on she discovered she also possesses electrokinesis.

Equipment and Skills
As an Assassin, Carmelita can expertly use many Assassin tools and weapons. Carmelita knows how to use a blade to efficiency, be it swords, daggers, or her signature Assassin Hidden Blade. Carmelita is also an excellent markswoman, and can hit a target with pinpoint accuracy using guns, arrows or throwing knives. With muskets and bows, Carmelita can accurately hit a target up to 300 meters away, depending on the quality of the weapon. However, she prefers arrows over firearms due to their unreliability. Carmelita also knows how to handle bombs, and craft them as well. Being an assassin, Carmelita utilizes the signature dual Hidden Blades, both of which are made of Xendrian Steel. Her bracers are heavily equipped, as she carries a hidden gun and dart launcher on her left, and a hookblade and a phantom blade on her right. Out in the field, Carmelita usually carries a sword and dagger, a belt of throwing knives, and a crossbow on her back. Over time, Carmelita dispensed the crossbow in favor of her phantom blade.

Carmelita is also capable of near perfect stealth. Even while her appearance would normally stick out, she is capable of hiding herself from view and maintaining stealth.

When Carmelita started out as an Assassin, she used a common Longsword as one of her belt-weapons. Upon a brief return to Transylvania during the Great Northern Aquilonis War, Carmelita plucked the legendary Xendrian Steel sword, Crepuscul, from it's pedestal. Doing so also relieved her of her doubts about her worthiness for the throne, and has used it ever since.
