Description
Carmilla is a vampire serving in Backbeard's Western Yōkai army, featured in the 2018 anime. She has pale white skin, long wavy black hair, red irises with yellow sclerae, pointy ears, red nails, and black lipstick. Her usual attire consists of a dark blue cape with a red underside and white trim, a matching one-piece suit, and platform shoes. When hosting movie screenings, she wears a dark blue blazer and foulard with less extreme heels.
Her personality blends strategic cunning with extreme loyalty to Backbeard. She displays sadistic tendencies, taking pleasure in overpowering and tormenting opponents like Neko-Musume, whom she tries to convert into a collared pet. Carmilla exhibits vanity, reacting with intense anger to being called an "old lady," and uses deception through false promises to manipulate foes. She also shows loyalty to allies, employing a recall stone to rescue Victor Frankenstein during their retreat after Backbeard's defeat.
Her history involves missions for Backbeard. She joins the invasion of Japan to recover Agnès and the Ring of Arcana, tormenting GeGeGe Forest yōkai in bat-swarm form. Later, she orchestrates a Halloween trap at a movie theater, using a dimensional-shift stone to isolate young women—including Mana and Neko-Musume—in a parallel dimension to convert them into vampires, a plan thwarted by Kitarō and Agnès. Carmilla deceives Nezumi-Otoko into turning the GeGeGe Forest against Agnès and pursues Mana during the Brigadoon Project, attempting to amputate her finger to steal the Ring of Arcana. Following Backbeard's defeat, she flees but commands global vampiric yōkai to gather human blood for his resurrection, including infiltrating Japan on Halloween to collect blood barrels.
Her powers encompass immortality, enhanced strength, and regeneration, though a direct strike to her heart reduces her to a weakened bat form. She can transform into a flock of bats for flight, evasion, or stealth, with one bat retaining her consciousness. Carmilla hypnotizes victims through eye contact to induce trances and converts young women into vampires by biting their necks. Those transformed gain physical enhancement but lose free will, reverting to normal if she is defeated. She extends her fingernails into claws for combat. Her equipment includes Adel's magic stones: an indigo stone for dimensional shifts, teleportation stones for retreat, and recall stones to transport allies.
Carmilla originates from Sheridan Le Fanu's 1872 Gothic novella, where she is an ageless vampire noblewoman targeting young women. The anime adapts key traits: her attraction to victims, the heart-strike weakness (omitting decapitation), and thematic mirror use. Homaging the novella's title *In a Glass Darkly*, she employs a mirror pocket dimension to hide or ensnare opponents. After Backbeard's resurrection using Fuji's energy, she continues in his service.
