Description
Dominique de Sade, a Vampire of the Crimson Moon, originates from the aristocratic de Sade lineage. Bound by a cultural taboo against twins in vampire society, her father randomly designated her as the legitimate heir, sentencing her twin brother Louis to death. Their grandfather intervened, sparing Louis for clandestine experiments while Dominique remained unaware of their twin bond, believing Louis her elder sibling until her sister Veronica exposed the truth posthumously.

In childhood, Dominique forged a close connection with Noé Archiviste, an orphan acquired by her grandfather. Alongside Louis, the trio shared an inseparable friendship, though Dominique’s unreciprocated romantic feelings for Noé strained their dynamic. This bond shattered when Louis, tainted by Malnomen, was slain by their grandfather after a doomed effort to rescue a cursed village child. Dominique later delivered a box from Louis to Noé, its contents—wooden stakes embodying Louis’s guilt—plunging Noé into anguish.

Louis’s death drove Dominique to assume his identity, severing her hair and adopting masculine attire. Convinced her survival wrongfully usurped Louis’s place and that Noé would have favored him alive, she spiraled into self-destructive despair, culminating in a suicide attempt thwarted by Jeanne.

As an adult, Dominique serves as a knight commander for Carbunculus Castle, wielding cryokinesis and a rapier. Fiercely protective of Noé, whom she deems overly trusting, she clashes with the enigmatic Vanitas. Her flirtatious demeanor masks deeper vulnerabilities, manifesting in a feigned betrothal to Noé and a turbulent bond with Jeanne, blending rivalry, protectiveness, and mutual longing.

Family interactions amplify her fragility: sister Veronica derides her perceived inadequacies, while brother Antoine undermines her authority. Yet Dominique pragmatically navigates these ties, occasionally leveraging familial assets like Veronica’s interrogation tools.

Her journey revolves around reconciling grief and fractured identity. After Jeanne rescues her from self-annihilation, Dominique tentatively acknowledges their reciprocal affection while wrestling with Noé’s platonic devotion. Her path remains marked by survivor’s guilt, a relentless drive to shield others, and the corrosive weight of self-doubt, each choice exacting a personal toll.
