Mitheral
"Growf!"
He arrived in a stagecoach drawn by a team of massive black horses during a storm in the night and took up residence in the long abandoned castle. The place was said to have once been the site of dark sorcery by a necromancer or alchemist (depending on who one asks). He stopped by at the tavern in town well before the sun had risen to have a meal. He stood over 6 and a half feet tall, dark haired, with brilliant, deep blue eyes, and jet black hair. (The image gives an idea of his appearance. No tattoos though.) His servants never left the stagecoach.
He paid with gold when even silver would have purchased a small banquet dinner. Noone could even make change. He simply spoke in a quiet voice and said, “Then it should be enough to cover the bill. I bid you good day and take my leave.”
However fine mannered he was, the town is superstitious, largely uneducated. They are afraid the arrival of the Count may awaken old demons. Soon the people of the town will demand the Mayor take action.
NPC’s

Jalut
Jalut is a mute. The Count and Friday speak to him using sign language. He stands some 8 feet in height, powerful frame and is monsterously strong. He is devoutly loyal to the Count and protective of Friday.

Friday
Friday is about 4 feet in height and resembles a Hobbit. He always accompanies Jalut to town if they are sent for supplies to speak for the giant. (Note: Friday harbors a secret known only to Jalut and the Count.)
Your Character
I am looking for a female protagonist. She should be young, attractive and strong willed. She should be unafraid of superstitious nonsense. I would suggest she have an education. But truly I leave those details up to you. A well written CS will be required. I am not picky about the format. (I prefer a face claim. No animated gifs.)
Some possible suggestions:
Mayor’s daughter
Daughter of a van Helsing type scientist
Daughter of a military man, explorer, industrialist, etc
Use your imagination.
Posting
I am looking for a 3 paragraph minimum. I typically aim for a page or more myself. If I don’t manage that then either there isn't much to respond to or we are at what is the end of a scene and I may need to follow up with another post to introduce the next scene.
