Chloe and Olivia

[[In case of any first-glance confusion, Olivia is the red-head. Chloe is the one over-analyzing you.]]

A little about these two: Chloe Elos and Olivia Nostro are vampires living in a vampire ruled society, not alongside humans. Chloe is very smart, with several odd skills and degrees in language and literature. Olivia is likewise very smart, with a career in medicine and is a huge history buff. Chloe is a very overqualified, very bored house sitter, and Olivia is a doctor specializing in forensic pathology. The two of them are my Mystery-Solving Duo that mirror Sherlock Holmes and John Watson.

Fun Facts about Chloe: She is a hybrid born vampire, with a human father, and is cousin to a famous (fictional) human movie star, Robert Elos. As a hybrid, her eyes are not entirely red, and are instead a deep orange. Though she is cold like other vampires, she can still produce her own blood, but at 1/2 the normal rate a human can, so she is stuck with consuming more blood than a pure blooded vampire would. She cannot stand drinking fresh blood however, and always drinks blood slushies from her favorite (fictional) fast food place, Uni-Fang. She can see her reflection in mirrors, her image shows up in pictures, she can leave footprints, and has a shadow. Her only special vampiric trait is camouflaging/controlling her temperature. She finds game shows too boring and easy, doesn't care for animals or children, and finds it difficult to be in the company of a large party of others. Alternatively, she loves folktales, puzzles, antique figurine collecting, juicy revenge stories, and surprisingly isn't at all afraid of heights.

Fun Facts about Olivia: She is a pureblood vampire and is immortal for as long as she isn't murdered. It will not matter how long she goes without drinking blood, but she'll be very hungry, with her eyes, skin and hair diminishing in color. Though she rarely preys on humans directly, because she can't stand to see other creatures in pain. Her favorite blood is AB type, as she claims it's pleasantly tangy. As a pure blood, she doesn't cast a shadow, doesn't have a reflection, or leave footprints behind. Her vampiric trait is electricity resistance and manipulation. (She can't be shocked and she can control any electric devices or appliances just by looking at it and focusing)
She is also dyslexic, and has a bit of a gambling problem. She loves to collect glass birds, and shoes. So. Many. Shoes. Despite being a vampire, she has a soft spot for humans and other races, seemingly always looking at things optimistically. She has a strong sense of morality and is not afraid of much...well, except for maybe flying. She hates flying.
