~Alexandra (Sandra)

Book: Dracula: A Love Story

Alexandra, who prefers to be called Sandra, meets MC when she rushes to meet about paintings. Depending on the choices the player makes during the taxi scene, depends on how Sandra treats her during the next time they meet. Sandra mentions, later on, she hates being called by her full name because her father would call her it when he was angry. Depending on your previous choices she can come off as flirty and playful or jealous and slightly mean.

Interesting fact:

A girl from a small Romanian village, daughter of a miller and a housewife, Sandra has always been ruthless to herself when it came to her studies. It had proven fruitful. Numerous diplomas, praises from teachers and a prestigious foreign internship in her last university year. There, the talented and tenacious girl was also noticed. They decided not to let her go, and upon completion of the internship, she was offered a job. She stayed to the delight of her colleagues who already loved her for her light and cheerful disposition. But Sandra didn't feel proud. Somewhere deep inside her, a cold, distant voice still echoed, so similar to the voice of her father: "This is all meaningless, you've achieved nothing, Alexandra."

Vlad in season 1:

AITA for letting my intrusive thoughts win and whisking away the girl i’ve loved forever away to live in a castle together and let her restore art while I lie about my true identity even after multiple suspicious encounters.

Fresh red blood dripping down its claws and fangs.

A feral grin. No trace, no shadow of anything human in its eyes.

Only the endless darkness

Noe:

- honestly never thought he would ever be a father

- fakes an air of ease around laia

- he’s actually shit scared-

- misses his parents a lot and wishes they could have seen him as a father

- but he knows internally that they’re both extremely proud of him :’)

- will hold his child in the strangest ways just to see them giggle

- this nearly gives laia a heart attack when she sees them

- but they both know that noe will never compromise his child’s safety

- loves calling his child offspring for some reason

- “LAIA OUR OFFSPRING IS CRYING” - noe

- will get into daily diaper changing fights with laia

- they both look to shove the baby into each other hands as soon as they get a whiff of a smelly diaper

- when that fails - they both get into elaborate rock, paper, scissors games that usually ends with noe losing

- laia claims she beat him using ‘psychology’ but it’s really just him purposely losing - he loves his wife

- when the baby cries at night it’s always noe, he never wakes up laia and lets her sleep

- somehow some sort of baby whisperer

- makes vlad come over every weekend because the baby needs ‘peaceful vibes’

- vlad agrees, it’s a noe + laia child, chaos reigns in that house

- as the child grows up, noe is more of a friend to them than a father

- imagine gilmore girls but with noe

- makes them cool tools and lets them tinker around his workspace

- teaches them to never be prejudiced to any group of beings - laia snorts at this remembering noe’s hate for humans

- that child is attached to noe by the hip literally will not let him go, follows him everywhere

- raises an extremely snarky and curious child

- noe himself is worse than a teenager so his child just skips that whole stage

- tells his kid to beat up any bully and to stand up for himself and his friends

- laia hates that and teaches them conflict resolution instead

- noe’s behind laia’s back rolling his eyes and yawning at her speech, thus effectively distracting the child and drawing laia’s ire

- very surprisingly the stricter parent if they do something really wrong

- will remind them how privileged they are to have the life they have and that they shouldn’t do anything wrong to throw it away

- always makes sure to organise monthly trips for his child with all his aunts and uncles ( aka leo, sandra and vlad)

- does not trust babysitters at all and will drag them everywhere

- loves giving them dating tips but freaks out when they get a partner

- usually ends with him silently sobbing about how they’re growing up too fast

- laia is torn between consoling him and laughing at him.

Sandra: quality time <3

- Loves to go on long walks and cycling trips with Laia

- Laia’s always lazy but will push herself out the door for Sandra

- Once they’re out Laia can’t help but marvel at how pretty Sandra looks in her sporty outfit - the two quickly start a game to see who can make the other blush the fastest

- They both win-

- Sandra’s lately always busy with her newfound supernatural abilities

- Laia can see how stressed Sandra is by the way her eyebrows are slightly knit together and her shoulders are stiff

- Laia’s wants nothing more than to relieve whatever invisible burden Sandra is constantly carrying around

- She takes one look around the park they’re at and spots the jackpot - couple bikes!

- Laia drags Sandra over and rents one for them

- Sandra can’t believe her eyes and almost bursts out laughing as they mount the bike - they both soon realise how silly it looks

- Nevertheless Sandra loves it, how can she not? It’s her two favourite things combined - cycling and spending time with her beloved

- They set off quickly admiring the sights and almost crushing a few poor ducks who came onto their path

- After the duck incident, Laia claims she’s scarred for life and drags Sandra off to a secluded spot under a tree for them to take a break and have a mini picnic

- Sandra set up most of the food but let Laia handle making the PB&Js - which is something Laia is very proud of btw

- After they eat, Laia can see Sandra stare into space again

- Not wanting to lose her girlfriend to the evil work stress demon again, Laia pulls Sandra down onto her lap - and starts stroking her hair

- This is Sandra’s personal little heaven, if she could freeze a moment in a little time capsule like Noe, she would definitely choose this moment

- Her girlfriend’s hands in her hair and the wide expanse of cloudy sky above their heads.

- Getting comfortable Sandra looks into Laia’s eyes and recounts how busy her weeks have been

- Laia listens attentively, never stopping her fingers even though they start to ache

- Sandra always had her sister there for her but for some reason she always felt different… almost alien at times.

- Sharing was a new and difficult concept but ever since she revealed her past as a cop to Laia, she felt different. She felt like she could tell Laia anything and she would listen.

- Truly listen, not just hear her but actually listen to her.

- The two spend the rest of the afternoon trading stories, making silly jokes and cloud gazing - their hands interlocked between their bodies.

Leo: acts of service <3

- Due to usually being the one who takes care of others, he secretly loves being taken care of and likes to take a break.

- Laia gets all hyped up when she gets to take care of Leo.

- He lives for all the little moments he has with Laia

- Mainly because the earlier moments with her were filled with high stakes eventful days - and they could not enjoy a ‘normal’ start to their relationship, which leads to him enjoying the simpler side to relationships.

- Finds beauty in the most mundane activities.

- His favourite activity is doing the dishes with Laia - it’s simple and peaceful and he gets to hear his favourite thing in the world: Laia’s rambles

- Laia rambles on and on doing the dishes and gets all annoyed by her hair coming in her face, she attempts to push it away with her hand while hoping to avoid getting any soap on her face - can’t ask Leo for help because his hands are equally soapy

- She fails and gets soap on her nose

- But at that moment, she is the literal definition of perfection to Leo

- He washes his hands, wipes away the soap from Laia’s nose and gently takes her hair in his hands to tie it up.

- They go on regular grocery trips that usually consist of Laia wanting to fill the entire cart with all her cookies and chips - Leo limits her to one of each (they’re trying to be economical).

- She pouts and tempts him with his favourite snacks instead - he gives in because honestly how could he say no to that face.

- Laia always wants to hold all the bags because she wants to take care of him as much as she can.

- Ends up only being able to carry all of them halfway back home and then they split the bag between them instead.

- Laia makes it a priority to get Leo breakfast in bed as often as she can, usually the food is burned but she is making progress - Laia can’t cook even if her life depended on it.

- But he’s so touched by the effort, he makes sure to pepper her face with kisses every time - sometimes they end up getting ~carried away ~ and the food lays completely forgotten on the nightstand.

- Occasionally, Leo wakes up to the blaring loud fire alarm.

- Walks into the kitchen and the blissful sight of a guilty looking Laia standing over a blackened pan greets his sleep-filled eyes
