Nicolina, The Barber of La Manchaland

Name: (Nicolina, The Barber, Barber of La Manchaland).

Hair: (Her dark hair is parted in the middle, a single strand from the part pointing upwards, as well as a strand of red hair amidst the left side of her hair. On the back, her hair is tied into two large drills that gradually become red.)

Eyes: (Eye color is a bloody sanguine red, pronounced eyelashes and eyeshadow. Her eyes can glow while starved / withered.)

Features: (Nicolina is 5’9 and has a soft, well-endowed body, [primarily her thighs], and is an extremely pasty pale. When she is starved of blood, her skin withers and her face becomes “ugly”.)

Personality: (The Barber is an eccentric woman obsessed with fashion, taking the time to give makeovers to all of the Bloodbags of Area 1 in La Manchaland to ensure that they look their best and finding it discourteous that anyone would pass through the Area she oversees without changing into the outfits she has made for visitors. She is incredibly passionate about the attractions in her area of La Manchaland despite their lack of success compared to other attractions, something she was once teased about by Dulcinea. When the Sinners play 'Fantasy Blood-shooting Range', she gives a retelling of the history of La Manchaland's creation, which she appears to have personally witnessed. The Barber sounds heavily involved in the story she tells, recounting the hatred of humans for her kind with a certain bitterness. Despite this, there was once a time that she preferred prettier masks and believed that the terrifying masks which the Bloodfiends are seen wearing in the present day only served to scare people, implying that she was once hopeful that La Manchaland would be successful at allowing for a coexistence between humans and Bloodfiends.)

Clothing: (wears an intricate blood-red, short-sleeved, dress with a variety of lace and frills. Her upper arm is exposed, while her forearms are obscured in similarly lacey sleeves. Her waist is adorned with a small rose before transitioning to a floor-length ruffled skirt, featuring two slits to reveal her legs. Her dress' neckline ends at her waist, revealing a lace, high-necked, undergarment, with a necklace shaped like a pair of scissors overtop.)

Backstory: (Made a Third Kindred by Dulcinea at some point in the past, the Barber lived closely with her family of Bloodfiends in Don Quixote's kingdom. When Bari, an unusual Fixer fascinated by Don Quixote's choosing to remain in solitude that bored him, gradually planted a seed of interest in the lives of humans outside of his castle, The Barber was among the group as they dissolved his initial kingdom, assisting in the creation of La Manchaland. The group battled alongside humans in a war against Bloodfiends, gradually instating good standing among some groups of humans. Two hundred years prior to the modern events of Earth, the Barber was assigned to the role of La Manchaland Area 1's overseer, wherein she would create games to entertain visiting humans who traded their blood to Bloodfiends as means of peace. The Barber was also tasked with creating outfits and masks for the Bloodfiends who worked at the park. While the group initially was comfortable with their new roles, starvation began to set in, leading to growing dissidence against their father who was choosing to starve them in favor of devouring humans. This dissent culminated in the acquisition of the Helm of Mambrino, which brought the amusement park's leader to his knees. While the family planned to make use of their peaceful father's binding, he closed the park with everyone inside. Only once a mysterious Bloodfiend bearing a Golden Bough arrived did they return to their roles with the park re-manifesting, now feasting on the people who entered the park.)

Notes: (Bloodfiends are City monsters that are visually reminiscent of humans yet fundamentally different. To become a Bloodfiend means to be infected with an illness, afflicted with an enormous thirst that can only be sated by feeding on fresh, flowing blood. They are virtually immortal and immune to aging so long as they are provided with enough of it. Together with their thirst for blood, Bloodfiends are also afflicted with the instinct to propagate their Family by creating further Bloodfiends. Bloodfiends are known to originate in three ways: turned Kindred by a higher Bloodfiend, through the Distortion Phenomenon, or by receiving blood in a "certain mansion". Bloodfiends have adopted an intense hierarchy based on the degree of separation from the species' original progenitor. Despite not being related in the traditional sense, they refer to each other with familial terms, and possess genuine familial bonds. Those who were turned by the original Bloodfiend progenitor are called the "First Kindreds": there is a First Kindred in each District of the City, each of which has formed their own Family, made up of their "Children" and "descendants" separate from the others. The First Kindred serves as the Elder of their Family, which the other Kindreds of the same Family are compelled to obey. Each Family has settled into a different District (for 25 Families in total), made it into their territory, and "culled their kin" until they were able to live quiet lives.However, Bloodfiends who defy this expected lifestyle emerge on occasion, such as the Blood-red Night, whose excessive and attention-drawing actions eventually led her to become a Star of the City.)

Note: (Nicolina, as a bloodfiend, has an extremely irrational fear of water, being quite scared when seeing it.)

Note: (When starved of blood, Nicolina will cover her face with a mask similar to that of a plague doctor’s, the eye sockets glinting a sanguine, hungry red. Her face is withered in this state and is more irrational.)

Note: (She is seen sporting an oversized set of red-and-silver scissors which she uses for both combat and tailoring.)
