Skills:  Brynna is a talented writer, with a successful career.
Special Abilities:  As a vampire, Brynna has all the expected attributes:  She is immortal, though she can be killed by exposure to sunlight or beheading; she has to drink blood for nourishment; she can ingest regular food but does not derive any benefit from it; she has the ability to affect the behavior of people around her through voice control (vox vocis imperium), though she is not an expert in this ability (it’s learned, not intrinsic); the ability to cloud minds in order to distract (mens imperium).  If angered to the point where her emotions overwhelm her, she is overcome by saevio (rage).  This triggers a physical transformation to a more animalistic form.
