{{quote|''Anything for ''you''...''}}
 
A young woman found dying in an understaffed clinic. The only way to save her life is to feed her your blood- guaranteeing your own ghoul servant. {{spoiler|If she stays with you to the very end, she's kidnapped and brutally murdered by the Sabbat. There are patches that avoid this, but they vary by version and methods.}}.
 
* [[All Just a Dream]]: A Malkavian can send her off by Dementating her into thinking the time with you was all a dream. Doing so nets you ''both'' a masquerade redemption and a point of humanity.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: What she eventually becomes under your influence. This is especially apparent if you play as a Malkavian.
* [[Gainaxing]]: In her third, [[Stripperific]] outfit, she's clearly not wearing a bra.
* [[Happiness in Slavery]]: Pretty much her entire existence revolves around this once she becomes your ghoul.
* [[Ill Girl]]: How you meet her.
Line 571:
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Arguably, your treatment of her can be this for you.
* [[Single-Target Sexuality]]: Heather isn't so much bisexual, probably, as she is [[Player Character|you]]-sexual.
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: If you save her and don't speak to her upon returning from the Dane (basically only possible for a Nosferatu, as they arrive Downtown and enter the Venture tower via the sewers), she'll disappear and only show up {{spoiler|in time for the Sabbat to kill her. The implication is she's been stalking you all this time.}}.
* [[Video Game Caring Potential]]: You can care for her, help her, and reassure her.
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: You can take her money, feed from her, and verbally abuse her.
Line 588:
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Uses a lot of these when injured.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: He may not look like it, but he's nearly sixty. He's also one of the only few people you can put your complete trust in.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: The Malkavian PC[[Player Character]] calls him "Fleet-Footed God" because [[Classical Mythology|guess why]]. He seems okay with it.
* [[My Master, Right or Wrong]]: For all that he has to be a fully bound ghoul, he's remarkably clear-headed about his situation. Contrast with Knox and Heather.
{{quote|''(On LaCroix)'' Just so you understand, my loyalties are all but written in blood, so my opinion of the guy is moot.}}
Line 616:
* [[Keet]]: Knox is bouncing off the walls in just about every single scene you can meet him in.
* [[Motor Mouth]]: Maybe ten minutes after you receive a lecture about hiding your vampirism from humanity, talking to Knox sees him realising what you are and refusing to shut the hell up until you remind him it's supposed to be a secret.
* [[Not So Harmless]]: It turns out he actually used to be a ''bounty hunter'' -... one of the reasons Bertram hired him in the first place.
* [[The Renfield]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: To Knock of ''Nosferatu.''.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: "Oh ''man''!"
 
Line 624:
{{quote|''Here again? What's the matter? Can't bring yourself to tear into the neck of some quote-unquote "innocent?" All that blood out there, and you have to buy the prepackaged stuff!''}}
 
Therese Voerman's ghoul, Vandal runs the bloodbank in the basement of the local clinic, using his position to secure choice bloodpacks for his demanding mistress. Unfortunately, as altruism appears to be running low these days, "donations" of blood come from the clubbers, vagrants, and Thin-Bloods that Vandal kidnaps.
 
* [[Axe Crazy]]: Apart from the techniques he uses to supply his mistress with blood, he also lets slip that he was planning to kill his coworker Phil before Lily tore his throat out.
* [[Blue Eyes]]: A very unnerving set, too.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: A dark example, needless to say.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Mocks everything he can think of, including his own miserable situation if you Dement him.
Line 635:
* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: After freeing poor Lily from his torture chamber, you can threaten to drain him of all his blood unless he agrees to sell more bloodpacks to you. And ''God'', it's satisfying.
** If you're a Malkavian, you can also [[Mind Rape]] him to the point where he breaks down in insane laughter. And boy, does he deserve it.
* [[Knife Nut]]:
{{quote|Guns make people cocky; they never appreciate what a skilled hand married to a knife can do. All you have to do is get close enough to cut off the trigger finger... or their face.}}
* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: In the event that you manage to help one of his captives escape, one of the options for getting him to sell you blood again is to tell him a story of ultraviolence from your [[Multiple Choice Past]] -... resulting in a ''very'' excited Vandal.
* [[Psycho for Hire]]: Therese keeps him on a ''very'' tight leash.
* [[The Renfield]]: Unlike most, however, he's bitter, cynical, and very much aware that he's a slave. Also, though he's too cowed to dare attack a vampire, he's very dangerous to humans.
* [[Sarcastic Devotee]]: He hates Therese, but cannot disobey her.
* [[The Social Darwinist]]: He has great respect for vampires who embrace the Beast and "feed upon the weak.".
* [[Soft-Spoken Sadist]]: Played with. His voice is very high and soft, and he rarely yells, but most of his dialogue ''seethes'' with barely-constrained rage.
