BIO: Carmen has a rare genetic disorder that prevents her body from maintaining blood properly. In order to counteract this, she must consume roughly half a pint of blood a week in order to function. Fortunately, her hollow fangs function much like hypodermic needles and her condition has also given her a near-immunity to almost any disease. She also has been "gifted" with some special natural assets. First, her figure, which borderlines on the impossible - additional to her skeletal structure, Carmen posesses something similar to an arachnid's exoskeleton underneath her skin, which helps support and reinforce her body (making her exceptionally strong, especially the four spider-like arms growing from her back, each able to lift over 100 lbs.), though it would be difficult to tell, even touching her body that it's there. Her second, and more important asset is the ability to use her second set of eyes to emit a hypnotic display of light and colour. Using her alluring body and hypnotic eyes, she is able to lure and ensnare "donors" into giving her a "vampire's kiss", draining a small portion of blood from them. Carmen does not take enough to harm her "victims", however... nor will they remember (or notice the near-invisible pin-prick marks left behind. They'll feel a little light-headed, but nothing that a few minutes' rest won't cure. Carmen also has the ability to produce silky webbing (as most spiders can). She can use this to create beautiful (and durable) custom clothing. Her standard "cocktail dress" is one such self-made outfit.

Carmen's parents died in a car accidend when she was young. She was left in the care of her loving (and wealthy) grandfather. The hourglass pendant she wears around her neck was a gift from him when she was younger. Carmen treasures this pendant so much, that she never removes it under any circumstance. After he passed away, Carmen was left to inheirit her grandfather's substantial estate, which would allow her to live comfortably. Still, she wanted to have a less sheltered life and live for the moment. So, using part of the inheiritance, she created a night club, "The Parlour" where she runs the business from the VIP room overlooking the dance floor. She also makes money on the side by selling her clothing designs. All in all, Carmen is a capable and talented businesswoman, despite her classy, yet fun-loving exterior. Just don't accept her invitation to go anywhere alone... it'll be a night you won't remember.
