Serafine Dupont

Serafine Dupont, a character in the Bloodbound series, is a Vampire with psychic abilities that rival Scholar Jameson. Although she is mentioned in two earlier chapters, she is first seen in Book 2, Chapter 7.

Appearance
She has light brown skin, curly shoulder-length brown hair and brown eyes that turn red as a vampire. She wears a red/fuchsia corseted-blouse, black pants with a black belt, and gold jewelry (three strands of necklaces and double-hoop earrings).

Personality
She says she is too much of a cynic to stay smitten with Adrian's idealistic dreamer qualities.

Background
According to Adrian, Serafine has been a pirate, an adventurer, an assassin, and even briefly a queen. She was in Paris during the time that Gaius, Kamilah, Banner, and Marcel lived there. In the 1800s - a couple of years after the United States Civil War ended, she lived in New Orleans for a few years.

Adrian Raines
In the 1800s, she met Adrian in New Orleans. She was in a tavern and "accidentally" spilled her drink on him to start a conversation with him. At that time, he was an ex-soldier who needed something to do; she offered him employment and companionship. Even though she did not want anything to do with Gaius, she took a liking to Adrian.

Kamilah Sayeed
In Chapter 8's premium flashback scene, she welcomes Kamilah to the ball held in the Crypts, happy that the latter could attend.

Gaius Augustine
In Chapter 8's premium flashback scene, Gaius introduces her to newly-turned Adam Vega. She compliments Gaius for having "a tendency for pretty creatures" and dances with Vega until the knights of the Order of the Down attack them. In the 1500s, their relationship ended badly.

Your Character
In Chapter 7, Adrian takes you and Jax to a Paris apartment, where he introduces the both of you to her. Before she delves into your mind psychically, she gets to know you as she considers the psychic process to be personal.

In Chapter 8, you have the premium option of bringing her along to the Crypts. If you do, she will help your group fight the Cryptoferals. When you kill a Cryptoferal with the Book of Blood, she comments that it was "amazing. And... strangely attractive?" Back at the apartment, she invites you, Jax, and Adrian to visit her nightclub. Serafine also offers you a premium outfit to wear to the club.

Powers and Abilities

 * Immortality: In Book 1, Chapter 2, Adrian confirms that he does not age. Thus we can assume the same can be said for Serafine. She states that she has been a vampire for 700 years.
 * Super-Strength: In Book 1, Chapter 2, Adrian confirms that he is strong enough to lift a car. Thus we can assume the same can be said for Serafine.
 * Healing Factor: Accelerated healing is an ability that vampires possess that allows them to heal from physical injuries at supernatural speeds. If a vampire uses their blood such as when Adrian was done feeding on Nicole, they can heal the bite mark as well. Thus we can assume the same can be said for Serafine.
 * Heightened Senses: In Book 1, Chapter 6, Lily mentions how she feels the slightest air currents, how she can even see the tiniest pores in Your Character's skin and can hear the water running through the pipes three stories up. Thus we can assume the same can be said for Serafine.

Weaknesses

 * Sunlight: Sunlight is one of the vampires' weaknesses. As Adrian stated, sunlight does hurt him describing it as painful and will be fatal if exposed to it within a half an hour or so. It's akin to hypersensitivity or accelerated heat stroke. This same weakness can be assumed for Serafine.
 * Decapitation: Dismembering or manually removing the head of a vampire will result in instant and permanent death.
 * Heart Extraction: Removing and subsequently destroying the heart of a vampire will also result in permanent death.
 * Unquenched Bloodlust: When Adrian first became a vampire, he felt the powerful thirst for blood which no amount of water can relieve. In the brief period where he resisted the urge, Adrian experienced severe discomfort whereby he eventually gave in to his instincts. It is unknown yet how long a vampire can remain thirsty or what the extent of pain is when this need is unmet. When vampires don't consume blood for extended periods of time, they tend to give in to their instincts and attack the nearest human nearby in order to suppress their thirst. Newly turned Vampires like Lily are the ones most affected by this problem.
 * A Feral's Bite: A bite from a feral vampire is infectious to regular vampires because it can turn them feral too.
