Lady Constance Racovita

Lady Constance Racovita is a character written by Zahhak for the Supers, Inc. canon.

Early Life
Lady Constance was born in Wallachia in the December of 1070 AD to a peasant family. At a young age she demonstrated a very mild magical talent, and was taken in by a hedge-witch, who taught her to read and write, and taught her a few simple spells. Constance's desire for power far outstripped her magical talent, and she turned to investigating darker, stranger arts. Fifty years later, upon her return to the village where she was born, nobody recognised her. She had stopped aging at thirty and her straw-blonde hair had turned dark. Her skin had turned deathly pale, and her canines had grown long and thick.

Career As A Vampire
Lady Constance Racovita spent nearly a millennium sinking her claws into the ruling houses of Europe. She has disposed of those who oppose her by sending her catspaws and puppet dukes against them or tearing them apart with her sword and her claws. During the fifteenth century she turned her first Wallachian ruler: Vlad Tepes, better known as Vlad the Impaler or Vlad Dracula. The young vampires she created suffered from her flaws with greater intensity although, in the same way her vampirism progressed, they gradually built up a greater resistance to sunlight, holy symbols, and garlic. Lady Constance herself often walks abroad under the sun.

Appearance
Lady Constance Racovita appears to be a young woman of about thirty, with ashen grey skin and burning red-orange eyes. Her hair is long and black, so dark it almost looks like a hole in space. Her armour is tough, lightweight plate armour covered with a black lacquer and edged with silver. Her sword is bound in black leather and gleams dully.
