Krul Tepes

Krul Tepes 「クルル・ツェペシ, Kururu Tsu~epeshi」 is the third founder among the vampires and the one who turned Mika into a vampire.

Appearance
Krul has the appearance of a young girl, the same age as or possibly older than Mika and Yū at the start of the manga. She has long pink hair with a headband that resembles bat wings, red eyes and pointed ears. She wears a short black gothic lolita style dress with detached sleeves. She also wears a white detached collar on her neck with a red ribbon through it. She wears this near knee length black boots.

Personality
Just like all other vampires, she views the humans as nothing more than livestock. She seems to have distaste for Ferid Bathory, who claims to love her, but is only interested in her political powers. She does seem to be fond of Mika, such as when he entered the meeting room and she was shown to be bored, she smiled upon seeing him. However, a flashback showed that when she was trying to convince Mika to drink blood, she succeeded in making him drink her blood and she told him that from now on he can't leave her side and thus he is her dog and loyal servant. Despite this, she was shown to care for him, as she hugged him when he was crying.

History
Krul Tepes' past is unknown, but when the virus started killing the humans she appeared and announced the situations to surviving children. Later, when the children tried to escape, before Ferid and the vampires could kill a dying Mika, Krul sent them away and turned Mika into a vampire.

Natural Abilities
Being a vampire, she is far stronger than a human. Also, being the third founder of the vampires, she is stronger than the founders below her such as when she easily defeated Ferid, who is a seventh progenitor.
