Elizabeth Bathory
CharacterElizabeth Bathory is a vampire villain confined to the Dracul storyline of the Sailor Moon stage musicals, surfacing in just one production. Her name and grim conception come straight from the notorious Hungarian countess of the same name, long rumored to have bathed in the blood of young women.
Appearance
The musicals cast Elizabeth as a vampire attached to Lilith of Darkness within the Death Vulcan faction, and her home is split between Transylvania and Tokyo. Beyond that undead billing, the production leaves the fine points of her costume and features unrecorded.
Personality
Her conception leans on the dark legend of her namesake. Popular retellings paint that countess as a woman who bathed in the blood of maidens to hold onto her youth, and it is this monstrous, vanity-driven cruelty that the vampire role borrows for the stage.
History
Elizabeth belongs solely to the Dracul storyline, turning up in a single musical whose full title runs from a decisive battle in the forest of Transylvania through the arrival of new guardians protecting Chibi Moon. Her name honors a real Hungarian noblewoman of the Bathory family, imprisoned until her death for the murder and torture of many young girls. Her frequent depiction as a bloodsucker owes both to those crimes and to her ties to Gabriel Bathory, who ruled Transylvania as prince in the early 1600s. A comparable figure named De Brinvilliers later appears in the revised edition of the same arc.
