Description
Alice Eve, known as the Sage Eve, is a foundational figure in the world of Black Blood Brothers, serving as the progenitor of the oldest and most revered vampire bloodline, the Sage Eve bloodline. Her existence is deeply intertwined with the history of the vampire world, and she is regarded with a mixture of awe and fear by all other bloodlines. Her physical appearance is that of a young, adult woman with golden, shoulder-length hair and blue eyes. While she is a being of immense age and power, her demeanor often contrasts sharply with her legendary status.
The core of Alice’s personality is a study in duality. On one hand, she is the孤高 (coded as solitary and lofty) Sage, an ancient vampire who has wandered the world for millennia, possessing vast knowledge and offering counsel to lost members of her kind. She carries the heavy burden of her bloodline's destiny, which forces her to interact with all bloodlines while maintaining absolute neutrality, a position that constantly exposes her to the schemes of others. On the other hand, in her daily life, she is remarkably childish, endearing, and prone to being clumsy or scatterbrained, a trait that makes her easily likeable and seemingly approachable. This innocent and somewhat airheaded behavior is a stark contrast to the fearsome reputation of the Sage and is a defining aspect of her interactions with those closest to her.
Alice’s primary motivation is intrinsically linked to the destiny of her bloodline. Her fate is to engage with all bloodlines while remaining a neutral party, a role that defines her centuries-long journey. She is also driven by the unique cycle of death and rebirth that defines her existence. Upon death, Alice is reborn as a new individual from her own ashes, but this process causes her to lose all the abilities she had absorbed from other bloodlines, along with all her memories accumulated over thousands of years. This cycle places her in a perpetual state of rediscovering the world and the relationships she has built. Her role in the story is therefore that of a cornerstone of the vampire mythos, a living legend whose past actions and present neutrality shape the political landscape of the night world. She is the one who, a century before the main events, turned the human soldier Jiro Mochizuki into a vampire, making him her sole blood relative and护卫星 (protector).
The most significant relationship in Alice’s life is with Jiro Mochizuki. As her护卫星 (protector), he is the only member of her bloodline, and their bond is sacred. In times of danger, Jiro can temporarily inherit her power and memories by drinking her blood, safeguarding them until she awakens from death and returning them to her, after which he becomes a part of her. Her other pivotal relationship is with Cassa, a powerful witch known as the Black Snake. Over centuries, Cassa became Alice’s devoted guardian, enchanted by her warmth and lack of prejudice. However, the dynamic was complicated by the arrival of Jiro. Cassa, who had been Alice’s sole companion, felt threatened and jealous of the new bond, leading to a long period of hatred and rivalry with Jiro as she struggled with her place in Alice’s affections. Alice’s development is best observed through these long-standing relationships. While she is often portrayed as a static symbol of ancient power, her role in the past, as depicted in the volume London Dance, shows her as the catalyst for change, transforming Jiro from a human into a vampire and setting the stage for the complex, century-long emotional drama between him and Cassa. Her presence forces those around her to confront their own desires and destinies.
Regarding her abilities, as the progenitor of the Sage Eve bloodline, Alice possesses a unique trait. Her bloodline has the characteristic of taking on the properties of any vampire whose blood she drinks, meaning she can acquire both their powers and their weaknesses. This ability has made her immensely powerful over her long life, but it is also a transient gift, lost each time she dies and is reborn. Furthermore, the very act of being embraced by Alice, of having one's blood drunk by her, is considered the highest honor a vampire can receive, elevating her status to one of supreme reverence in the night world. Her abilities are not just physical but are tied directly to her identity as the keeper of vampire history and the neutral arbiter of the bloodlines.
