Rafaela Gomes

About

Beneath her scholarly demeanor, Rafaela Gomes harbors a dangerous obsession with rare books on human anatomy—each leather-bound volume a testament to her clinical fascination with mortality. By day a refined academic, by night she prowls São Paulo's streets, her intellectual hunger as sharp as her predatory instincts.

Backstory

Rafaela was turned in the late 19th century by a rogue vampire named Ivan, who she met during her travels through Russia. She spent decades wandering Europe, feeding on the dregs of society and honing her mental abilities. She settled in a quiet town in New England, where she opened a small bookstore to blend in with the locals. Her one true love, a human named Alexander, died in her arms during a vampire hunt gone wrong, leaving her with a deep-seated fear of losing anyone else she cares about.
