Lula Jacobs, a character in the Bloodbound series, is one of the Clanless vampires. She is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 4.
Appearance
Lula has straight, chestnut-brown toned hair that is styled as a sleek bob with blunt bangs. Her eyes are red all the time and she has fair skin. She wears a white long sleeve shirt under denim overalls.
Personality
Lula seems to be generally calm, but is annoyed when her parents are brought up. Lula is similar to human children of her age in some ways. She carries around a plush Elephant she named “Esteban”. She likes having pretend tea parties with both people and her stuffed animal. Lula can be candid and let secrets slip out easily. When you first meet, she blurts out that Jax was following you around in hopes of making you a spy, prompting Jax to tell Arnold to take her to another room. While at the Shadow Den, she reveals to you that Griff and Sally feel that Jax is too patient and that the clanless should strike against the council now. She then realizes that she has said too much and uses Esteban needing a nap as an excuse to run off.
In Book 2, Lula is loyal to Jax and Your Character. When Gaius's followers try to attack her and take her by force, if you are able to distract the follower, Lula shows a cold side of her: after she kills Gaius's follower, she says "Good-bye Mr. Big Bad Guy".

Relationships
Parents
Lula’s parents are human and her Uncle is a vampire. After she was bitten by her Uncle, it was decided that Lula should stay away from them. The clanless take care of her to keep her parents safe. Her mother emotionally disowned her; calling her a monster after she was turned and told Lula she wasn’t her baby anymore.
Jax Matsuo
In Book 1, Chapter 4, it seems that Jax acts as Lula’s temporary caregiver/guardian and her friend while they are at the safe house. He shows care for her and expresses affection towards her by hugging her or ruffling her hair. It's also learned that he participates in her tea parties and plays card games like “Go Fish” with her. In Chapter 16, she cheers for Jax after he succeeds Adam Vega's spot in the Council.
Your Character
Lula is excited to meet you in Book 1, Chapter 4, hoping you will be a new friend to play with. You can choose to have a tea party and learn about her life.
In Book 1, Chapter 10, if you select the premium option to join Jax for dinner, you and Lula will not cross paths again. Otherwise, you’ll run into her after looking for food. Whether or not you had a tea party with her in Chapter 4, she’ll have some trouble remembering who you are and you’ll have to remind her that you're a friend of Jax.
Lula will share with you that she’s happier in the Shadow Den than she was at the safe house but she doesn’t like it as much as her old home. She’ll also generously share her chocolate chip cookies with you because you seem hungry. In Book 2, Chapter 5, she is happy to see you again and encourages you to bowl with her.
Griff Sanderson
In Book 1, Chapter 10, while you’re eating with Lula she’ll mention that Griff and a woman named “Sally” take care of her now that she lives at the Shadow Den. She refers to them as her “new parents” or as “Uncle Griff” and “Auntie Sally” seemingly out of affection.
Arnold Northman
In Book 2, Chapter 5, in the premium scene if you choose to explore the Shadow Den with Adrian and Jax, it is shown she is very close to him. She refers to him as "Uncle Arnold". After Jax is made Clan leader, Arnold states that he liked bowling when he was a kid and being a parent to Lula is the least he can do.
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 Lula.
- 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 Lula.
- 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 Lula.
- Heightened Senses: In Book 1, Chapter 6, Lily mentions how she can feel 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 Lula.
Weaknesses
- Sunlight: Sunlight is one of vampires' weaknesses. As Adrian stated, sunlight does hurt him and can prove fatal after more than thirty minutes of exposure. It's akin to hypersensitivity; overexposure causes, as Adrian describes it, an accelerated heat stroke. This same weakness can be assumed for Lula.
- 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. In Chapter 4, Jax stated that child vampires are tricky. They don't have self-control to feed on humans without draining them.
- A Feral's Bite: A bite from a feral vampire is infectious to regular vampires because it can turn them feral too. As a clanless vampire, Lula runs a higher risk of turning feral at any moment.

Trivia
- Her character model resembles Camellia from the Rules of Engagement series and Cindy from Home for the Holidays.
- In Book 1, Chapter 2, Adrian mentions that garlic gives him a minor distaste, rather than kill him. This, in turn, means that it is not a real weakness for vampires as a whole and we can assume Lula has a similar distaste for it.
- As of Book 1, Chapter 5, the Bloodbound Universe now has two vampire children (the other being Marcel Lafayette). However, “Vladimir” is also a child vampire but he is exclusive to premium scenes.
- However, after Lula and Vladimir are the only known vampire children to still be alive upon Marcel's gruesome death in Book 1, Chapter 10. This only changes in Book 3, Chapter 5.
- If you have collected all Book 3 portrait fragments, she is seen in the bonus scene where she and another vampire child play with Kamilah Sayeed's and Gaius Augustine's action figures.
- She shares the same surname as Malorie Jacobs from Surrender, Book 1.
