What is "The Vamp"?

Music to Listen as you read

A classic character type, the beauty who uses her feminine wiles to undermine a moral and upright man, for evil purposes. She's evil and evil, a liar and a sneak, and uses the good guy's sympathy against him, often with a sob story about her mother and some hospital bills or a Gambit where she's pretending to be a victim to manipulate others.

Unlike the Femme Fatale and the Mad Scientist's Lovely Daughter, she is rotten to the core, and will never be swayed from the path of darkness by love. (In eras where Make Up Is Evil applies, expect her to paint when no other woman does.)

The name comes from classic silent films, where this character is part of a standardized plot. A red-blooded American boy must choose between his familiar, cutesy-plain sweetheart and this plotter.

This was used in Greco-Roman mythology the Goddess of of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation known as Aphrodite or Venus was this.



Trust us none of the relationships that mortals or Gods have with her end well.

I like this article it really gives some good examples of a famie fatal and a vamp.

is the vamp a product of her environment or is she born that way?

At times I think it can be a survival method. and thats why she uses people.

Good job
