Apple
Apple is a tune vampire. She appears to be around the age of three or four years of age, although in reality she is somewhere around the age of 25. She weighs around thirty pounds, quite light. She is has no occupation...
Abilities
Being a tune vampire, Apple has the ability to draw others to her with the sweetness of her voice, made even more alluring with her childlike purity and innocence. For this vampire, her voice is her strongest asset, and being a child, she knows how to use it to get those things that she wants. She is also able to speak telepathically, although she is not able to read minds or hear the thoughts of others. What she can obtain from someone is quick images that are difficult for the young vampire to decipher; she does not usually trust that part of her skills, though.
Weapon
Apple has no need to carry a physical weapon with her. She will try to find other vampires to be her protectors for her. However, even this is not a necessary length, for her voice and her rapid healing abilities do not call for much necessary protection.
Accessories
She can always be seen with a small, childlike bag of some sort; she prefers to be covered in laces. What she keeps in these bags are candies and chocolates that she uses to lure her victims in when she is in need of a meal. It is a part of the childhood she remembers that she misses. Other than that, the bag is nearly useless and just adds to the presentation of her clothes.
She enjoys wearing small pearl necklaces and small gold earrings, although she will sometimes go without jewelry. She also can be seen with bows and other hair accessories that do nothing more than make her look more doll-like.
Appearance
Apple was an albino as a human. Thus, her eyes are a bright red, and although a somewhat disturbing feature, the warm hue is somehow pleasant and comfortable; they are large and walnut shaped. Her face still holds the baby fat that she had as a human, making her all the cuter to those who see her. Her hair which is a very faint strawberry blonde, more pink in color than anything, falls to mid back; her bangs arch over her brow, roundly framing her eyes. Her button nose and her small perfect lips are the features that really show off her apparently youthful age. Apple is short and stubby with the small cute fingers and toes of a human toddler, and her skin is soft and smooth, still bouncy and squishy with youth, its pallor is reminiscent of a porcelain doll.
Although she may appear innocent, the intelligent, adult light in her baby eyes may disturb the viewer, and for good reason. She may look innocent, but the reality is that she knows how to kill and how to hunt. The instinctual killer that is the vampire is there within her, held in her eyes like some secret that is just beyond reach. Her face is usually lit with a playful expression, though her intentions are not always clear.
Apple wears lacy dresses of intense brilliance that are reminiscent of the Victorian era. Such a style she chose with a purpose, for it merely emphasizes her doll like appearance and usually works to her advantage when trying to gain favor of the other vampires or lure the humans in. There are times, though when she will wear the modern fashions of child-wear, although it has to be in dress form. She will not stand to wear anything else. Her small feet are always covered by darling little shoes that click noisily when she moves. Like all human toddlers, the walk which may have held some grace in her immortal incarnation is tainted by the stiff and clumsy strides of a young toddler learning how to walk. She has never been able to perfect it.
Personality
Apple can be a very playful little being, with the same great energy that every toddler has—although her energy is indispensible. She enjoys playing games and jokes on people, or at least irritating them. She could talk for hours, her baby voice, bright like the ringing of bells, babbling on and on about anything she can think of. Clearly she enjoys the company of others and will actively go out to seek it, no matter what the situation or environment. She has a mischievous side to her that adds to the delightful personality she already has.
Although very playful and open, there is something disturbing about the vampire child. She is very sensitive and when angered or insulted will throw a tantrum like no other being could. Her screams filling the air, the pain in her mind is easily seen. Such sensitivity is not only a product of her eternal childish mind set, but also of the terrible events in her past that has caused her to run from her town without a family, without a maker. There are times when the child is in a dark mood. In such an event, the nature of what she is, that being a vampire, can truly be seen in her crafty eyes and her dark leer. Her angelic façade suddenly alters to reveal a child monster which seeks some sadistic outlet. However, if played carefully, such a mood will not be obtained.
Her mind wanders easily, distracted by the simplest noises and objects. Thus, speaking to her can be quite difficult, for it may not be clear as to whether or not she understood what someone was saying to her. Apple is still very much a four year old and nothing, not even time, can alter that. She is eternally a child, never to experience the pleasures of the flesh or the romance of love. She does not quite understand what she is missing out on in life, although there is something inside her which is stirred when she watches a man caress a woman or a couple exchanging a kiss. She will always have to wonder what that is like, no matter if she wants such an experience or not. A relationship with a child is not possible, and she has never met another vampire as young and undeveloped as she.
She is always seeking a family, having none herself. Perhaps this is the reason for her open personality and her clingy nature. Once she decides that she likes someone, it would be hard to get rid of her. She will always seek out those she loves and protect them as much as she can. Although small in size, her heart is big.

History
When Apple was still human, she had parents. They were hunters; she remembers that they were gone often at night doing their business of hunting. It was while they were gone that she would get a visitor. He would play her childish games and bring her candies and chocolates, always making sure that she felt loved, wanted. She didn’t know who he was, but she did know that she loved him, more than she loved he parents whom she hardly saw and hardly played with her even when they were there during the day. Of everything about this man, she remembered his smell. It was a strange rusty smell, with a hint of some sort of flower… at least that’s how she remembered it.
One night, the man had asked her if she loved him, and she had said yes. He told her, then, that there was a way for them to be together forever. She was simply delighted with such an idea. He was like a father to her, of course she wanted to stay with him. What happened next, she did not understand, still does not entirely remember. All she remembered was a sharp pain followed by an unbearable heat. Although young, she knew something was happening to her body, to her entire being. When she was able to consciously look around, everything seemed to have changed. The world seemed more bright, like she was in a wonderful playground.
There was chaos suddenly, a great deal of yelling. People were upset. She realized her parents had come home and discovered her and her father. Caught off guard, the slaughter was swift. She remembered trying to cry and failing. Her father was dead before her, and her parents seemed to want the same for her. How upset she had been. Although she did not kill them, they were her first meal. Being a newborn vampire, she had temporary super-enhanced strength and speed. Once she was done, she realized the full extent of what had happened. Although she was still four years old, she knew she was alone.
Afraid, and with no maker, she ran from her town, following the strong scents of what were beings like her father, she guessed, marking the similarities in the scents. Thus, she arrived in the city of Noctum. She didn’t know where she was going; all she knew was that she didn’t want to be alone.
