It needed eating so you ate it, you ate it.
Now it's revealing, revealing, revealing itself. ♫
+ history
Before Igraine was a vampire, she was an archivist. She still is an archivist; the plan, for when she 'becomes sixty-five', is to move away from her home town to 'retire' and take up a similar job in the same field under a different name. This is the loose plan she has for the rest of her future. She has only been a vampire for five years.
She was sired by her mother as a forty-eight-year-old. Her mother gifted this to her as a birthday present. She told Igraine that preserving her right then, in perfect health, would be essential lest she grow any older and potentially inherit adverse health conditions. Igraine's family has a history of dementia. Igraine suspects that her mother turned her so that she could keep her daughter close, able to look after her forever. She suspects her mother had always been envious of her humanity. She's never been able to get a straightforward answer out of her to date.
Igraine does not drink from humans. She isn't adverse to it but she's too aware of the consequences that accompany living in a small town. She doesn't want to start a mass hysteria. She thinks if she, upon her 'retirement', moved to London she could drink from humans safely, if she were smart about it. Until then she's fine to drink from animals. She prolongs the wait between meals, sometimes dangerously, because she feels most alert on an empty stomach.
As a vampire, Igraine has skin that is cold to the touch. She can go out in the sun, but it does burn her quickly. She can hear the heartbeats of humans, and feel them moving around her in a small radius without seeing them. When she drinks blood, these senses dull for a time. When she drinks blood, she can taste the life of the animal that gave it to her. All she can really have is blood, now, and she misses food very much. She loved to cook and eat good food, and this is what she misses the most from her human life. While she can eat tiny amounts of food, it doesn't taste good to her any more and too much of it makes her physically sick.
She has no idea if other vampires even exist.
Because she has changed in appearance (she aged slightly after turning, at a slow rate, before stopping altogether) she has had to dissolve some friendships. She does not often make new ones. Luckily, a lot of people she knew growing up have moved away and are easy to keep in touch with over social media and by post. All she had to do was stop using FaceTime.

Igraine is a watcher. She is very careful. She thinks about every move before she makes it and delights in the tiny details. She has a healthy curiousity for the world and questions everything she does not understand. Often, she will take notes or write down a reminder to look something up later. She loves to read. She will supply that word you're searching for but cannot find.
She is used to having things in order. She keeps her desk meticulously tidy and loves a good to-do list, or a system she can follow. She will get irritated with people for not following rules.
Igraine mutters underneath of her breath. She has a quick temper and isn't afraid to let it take her over. She becomes pedantic and impatient easily.

out of character
backtagging: Yes please. I have an odd timezone and I'm very busy, so I do most of my tagging like this
threadhopping: Absolutely
content i need warnings for but can play: Animal death/injury. Ironically
content i need warnings for and cannot play: Sexual violence
anything else: Because Igraine is a vampire and drinks the blood of animals, I'll be describing that act in tags/her hunger for human blood and what it smells like to her. If she eats food, it tends to make her physically sick (not immediately, but eventually). If you'd prefer for certain subjects to never crop up in our threads, lemme know
in character
physical affection: Yes. Please note that Igraine is cold to the touch, enough that a human would notice and think it was strange
physical violence: Keen, but Igraine is not a fighter. Being a vampire doesn't grant her any kind of special strength or speed or agility. I imagine it would be fairly one-sided!
flirting/romance: Yes. Igraine is attracted to women, but she is wary of intimate relationships
sexual content: Yes; Igraine wouldn't sleep with anybody under the age of thirty-five
psychic abilities: If you want to read Igraine's mind, go for it. She spends a lot of time thinking about books
magic/powers: She has heightened senses that allow her to hear heartbeats if she is close to them, and sense the presence of people without having to see them. These powers dull for a while after she has 'eaten'
medical information: Igraine is in perfect physical health, seemingly forever
offensive subjects/triggers: She can be casual in her regard of murder (animal or human). She has no moral issue with sustaining her lifestyle
