Are they afraid of death? Do they have any regrets?

Yes and no to the first part of that.

She’s not afraid of death itself per se, just of the process of dying. Her brushes with death have been excruciating and terrifying, but she very much likes the idea of an eternal nonexistence free of pain and suffering.

Once I loved a girl named Marianne. Mar-i-an-ne.

I’ve loved before. Lots of girls. Sometimes boys. Mostly girls.

My love for Marianne was the strongest, though. It started with curiosity. Curiosity that was like fire in my stomach. The heat of Marianne’s body was like mine and the anger in her was like mine, but Marianne wore her anger like clothing.

Right on top of her skin, didn’t hide it at all.

Not like mine.

Sometimes we’d not get along but… we respected one another despite disagreements. That was nice. Stroke bruises from one another’s skin.

See if we bruise the same color, bleed the same color.

And we did. More or less. It was respectful, though. Sparring, not fights. The gentle caress of healing spells right after.

Vice :: What bad habits do they have? Is there something they would be ashamed of?

Umm probably drinking. She's not a binge drinker, nor an alcoholic by any stretch of the imagination but she does drink to avoid problems sometimes and that is something she's pretty ashamed of. Like "I should be able to deal with my PTSD like an adult damn it." Uuuugh.

Network :: Are they connected to the people? How much do they reach out to others?

Right now, she's not connected to anyone at all. She's been traveling all over the eastern half of the empire but whenever she starts to get to know people, she drops everything and flees to another province. She's nervous. Skittish. Probably a little worried about losing everyone she's ever known and loved all over again (she did not take the Brotherhood's destruction well at all).

Escape - What do they do to destress? How successful is it?

Climbing things he shouldnt If he's gotten very frustrated with himself while doing something he's terrible at (reading, for instance) he'll often go do something he knows he's good at, just to reaffirm that there's something worthwhile about him. Usually this means cooking or hunting.

Grudge :: How bad does an insult go over? Do they hold a grudge long?

In Therrant's point of view, it's simply a fact of life that he's a terrible, broken waste of space, so insults directed towards his person are unlikely to rile him. It's pretty much like telling him the sky's blue.

It might come off as him having a thick hide, but the truth of it is much more unhealthy.

His lips move and there aren't fangs in sight, there's nothing, it's a contradiction, a discrepancy between sight and smell; she doesn't like it.

His lips move and her eyes flick over teeth and eyes and skin and then fingers and clothing and feet.

His lips move and she realizes she hadn't heard a word he just said and Zophiwen realizes she's just been foolish and her apology goes like this: "Can you repeat that for me?"

Half-vampire cutiepies deserve nothing but good things.
