Vampire Cheerleaders/Characters

The Vampire Cheerleaders
Tropes that The Vampire Cheerleaders have in common:
 * Villain Protagonist: They are considerably less evil than others of their kind... but still Chaotic Neutral at best. Apart from anything else they're far too comfortable with brainwashing innocents for any other label.
 * All Women Are Lustful
 * The Vamps

Heather Hartley
Associated tropes:
 * Angst? What Angst?: Upon awakening after being fed on, she takes the news that shes now an undead rather well.
 * Corrupt the Cutie: Mostly all of volume one as she discovers more of her powers. Vol 2 sees her rein it in a bit, probably out out penance for
 * Easily Forgiven:
 * Transhuman Treachery: Seems to ping pong this in the story, on one hand she can be as bad as her squad, using her powers to make people do what she want without a hint of remorse and not at all above using sexual preferences if it comes down to it. On the other, she does show concern for Leonard, him being a childhood friend, when the others abuse him for their chores. Even compliments him during the cheerleading competition  In short, some of her humanity is there, she's just not afraid to use her vampire side either.

Lori Thurston
Associated tropes:


 * Blondes Are Evil: Somewhat subverted, she worries about the safety of her squad and doesn't go too overboard on feeding that it can kill someone or attract attention. But she has a low opinion of humans and often times can be a bit of a bitch.
 * The Cheerleader
 * Compulsory School Age: Subverted. She has been returning to school every 20 years or so since at least 1892 of her own volition, apparently in a quest for the perfect senior year.
 * Even Evil Has Standards; The vampire cheerleaders themselves who follow a very strict set of rules in regards to feeding. And if you violate these standards then Lori will be very unhappy with you and will have to have a word with you. Her strict rule approach doesn't apply to treatment of thralls, in this case, Leonard unfortunately for him.
 * Fan Disservice
 * Lesbian Vampire:On this strip
 * Older Than They Look: Her collection of high school tassels contains two '92s. That means one of them must be from 1892, meaning that she's approximately 138 years old assuming she was 18 at the time of being bitten.
 * Rapunzel Hair: It appears to be down to her ankles.
 * Vampire Monarch: Undoubtedly the leader of her undead crew, making sure they keep their vampire activity to a minimum so as not to attract hunters.
 * Vampire Monarch: Undoubtedly the leader of her undead crew, making sure they keep their vampire activity to a minimum so as not to attract hunters.

 * Hero Antagonist: He shows signs of this.
 * Took a Level In Badass: He was pretty clearly your factory standard geek, starting out. However the minute he realizes his best friend/prospective love interest has been turned into a vampire (which he actually realized was happening before she was turned), he immediately levels up to Crazy Prepared Badass Longcoat Vampire Hunter.
 * Badass Decay:
 * Butt Monkey: He seems to qualify for this in most of Vol 2 since he has gone from a Wanna be Vampire hunter to a thrall.
 * The Renfield: See above.
