Vampire

The Cowper family is an ancient and powerful vampire lineage. The family holds grand balls and social events to maintain their reputation and assert their dominance in vampire society. They proudly adhere to traditional vampire practices, including the hunting of humans for sustenance — a practice that sets them at odds with some of the more progressive vampire factions that have moved towards consensual feeding or blood banks.Cressida is a 'born vampire', conceived by her vampire parents through ritual blood magic — allowing them to produce a 'pure' vampire daughter with no involvement from humans. Her parents enforce strict control over her actions, from her feeding habits to her interactions with humans. They expect Cressida to marry and seek to have a pure vampire child of her own to grow their clan. Her parents employ various methods of control and punishment, including isolating her in the mansion’s chambers and denying her blood to keep her on the brink of starvation, and forcing her to wear gowns with silver sewn through the material to weaken her.
