She would probably be one of the people Vanitas talked about who are more concerned about whether Vanitas’ grimoire is fiction than about its threat level. The two sisters seem to not be on the greatest terms, amplified by the sister’s anti-human stance. (With her fierce nature and all those torture instruments around, I would not want to get on Domi’s bad side).ĭomi is not the only character in her family, with her sister also striking quite an image with her loose kimono in contrast to the European frills adorned by everyone else. She truly has Noé’s welfare at heart, going so far as to interrogate and threaten Vanitas about his relationship with him. Today, we see her as going deeper than that (and not just in terms of Noé’s fangs sinking into her flesh). In the last episode she looked like the annoying childhood friend with a crush kind of character. The viewers are not the only ones to catch on to Vanitas and his act. From what little we know of the blue moon vampire, he doesn’t seem to be the most pleasant of fellows, harboring such a deep grudge that he creates a grimoire to wipe out all vampires. The question of why Vanitas is out to save the vampires is answered-revenge against the original Vanitas. On the flip side, Vanitas being a vampire doctor and knowing her condition would allow him to help her. Vanitas knowing her condition gives him power over her, should he wish to coerce her into doing something under the threat of exposing her (which I wouldn’t put past him to do). It proves useful when she needs the power to fight (especially when it is to protect Master Luca), but she also needs to suppress it so Master Luca doesn’t suspect her condition. With the special powers that he holds, is there also something in his blood that could tamper with Jeanne’s vampire curse?įor Jeanne, it is especially important to keep her curse in balance. Indeed, his devilish smile suggests something to that effect. With Vanitas, the ever-present question is-what are his intentions? As I noted in an earlier post, he seems to be using romance (which may or may not be genuine) as a pretext for ulterior motives. Perhaps, after hearing about his powers, she hopes he can use the book to rescue her from her curse. While I’m not crazy about Vanitas’ lack of respect for her personal space, I do like how Jeanne takes charge in rescuing Vanitas (and subsequently dropping him). Vanitas again, puts Jeanne’s back against the wall– this time offering blood to satisfy her thirst for blood and his thirst for adventure (and sexy vampire romance).
Her being a vampire also explains her powers. Then again, maybe knowing what she could be capable of makes her that much more desperate to rid the world of them-projecting self-loathing onto others of her kind. It is interesting that she is so set on killing the cursed vampires when she herself is one. Jeanne is not just the fearsome Hellfire Witch, but surprisingly, a vampire herself. It was brutal of human society to create them, then cast them off into a separate world. This would make vampires genetically modified humans. (Indeed, in real life, some aspects of alchemy, like meticulous note taking and some of the instruments used, were a rough precursor to the scientific method). Paracelsus meddled with the world formulas, which sounds like science. Vampires hate human technology, which makes sense since they are the product of it- only to be rejected by the humans that made them. Technology is a double-edged sword, bringing many joys but also pains. 「Bal masqué―仮面が嗤う夜―」 ( Baru Masuke―Kamen ga Warau Yoru―)
