Carmilla grows close to Laura, taking advantage of her loneliness and naivety and making sexual advances on Laura that Laura somewhat reciprocates. This is the case when Carmilla comes to prey on the protagonist, Laura, by moving into Laura’s family home after a carriage accident. Carmilla uses her beauty and youth to deceive those around her, and as a result they often fail to see her true nature until it’s too late. A vampire from an old aristocratic family, she appears eternally as a beautiful young woman and preys on vulnerable young women to whom she is sexually attracted.


Carmilla, also known as Mircalla and Millarca, is the story’s eponymous antagonist.
