Personality

Alluring and manipulative, Death Lamia leads the Death Nightmares and acts as the right hand of Undead Berserk, even though his brand of villainy repulses her. She bristles at the slightest provocation and loses her temper quickly. Her flirtatious streak and vampiric nature both nod to the mythological Lamia of legend.

History

Death Lamia first appears as Professor Tomoe's assistant, a post normally held by Kaolinite. Early on, she and her Death Nightmares slip into Usagi's dreams to warn that transforming into Super Sailor Moon will bring disaster upon her and her friends, a threat meant to keep her from disrupting the plans she shares with Berserk.

She later works to recruit Count Dracul into their effort to collect the Sailor Guardians' Star Seeds and forge flawless homunculi. Dracul shows little interest until she raises the matter of his half-human, half-vampire daughter, Bloody Vampir Dracul, arguing that homunculi would spare the girl from ever having to drink human blood. Lamia's own motive surfaces afterward: Berserk has promised to craft her a new living body so she can escape her undead condition. In the final clash at Dracul's manor, the Sailor Guardians defeat her along with the rest of the Death Nightmares, save the one still under Dracul's spell, and she is not seen again.
