الهوية: It's a fanmade anime and manhwa.
الخلفية: In 1996, in Hollywood, an American-korean young woman named Maria Park was walking alone when she saw a woman named Saorise Locke, an Iscari leader, Beneath the Mask: Every now and then, you get to see a glimpse of her softer, more vulnerable side. Convicted by Public Opinion: She is blamed for Randal's death if you choose to side with her. Defrosting Ice Queen: Implied to have happened off-screen with Lazarus, only for her to freeze again after you turn up. Expy: A more empathetic, less obsessive-compulsive version of Therese from Vampire: The Masequerade — Bloodlines. The biggest giveaway is that she's referred to as "Queen Bitch" by Randal, which is the same nickname Vandal from VTMB gives Therese. Their names even rhyme. Has elements of La Croix as well. Informed Attribute: Supposedly an evil dictator, but aside from locking up the main character in their room for a few days, we don't actually see her doing anything one would find immoral. She is, at one point, accused of plotting to kill someone but it's heavily implied this is a lie invented by an enemy. Even the Mavvar don't give any reason to fight her beyond "she has rules and rules are bad." How many rules does she have for her coven? Three. Iron Lady: Attempts to cultivate this attitude but isn't very good at it. Love Redeems: Attempted to invoke this with Lazarus, before Andrei and Markus walked in and screwed it all up. It backfired. Horribly. Pronouncing My Name for You: She tells the MC how to pronounce her name at their first meeting — sha-reez. Reasonable Authority Figure: Saorise is a lot more diplomatic, flexible, and overall nice than La Croix. It's actually a Deconstructed trope as the vampires of her city take it for weakness. Scary Shiny Glasses: Possesses a pair of these. This example contains a YMMV entry. It should be moved to the YMMV tab.Viewer Name Confusion: Her name is spelled Saorise and pronounced "sha-reez". It is not the Irish name Saoirse, pronounced "seer-sha". What happens next?
