[To be honest, it's been a while since anyone has asked Scathach any intelligent questions about her species. So she doesn't mind all that much. Prepare for an onslaught of information that you probably won't understand.]

I was born shortly after Danu Talis sank--you'd call it Atlantis. It was a place of strong magic, and after that magic was released, it changed some of us young ones. My twin and I were born like this, somehow different than other immortals. Some of us were monsters. Others of us found we couldn't feel. [She paused.] In my world, vampyres--with a "y"--drink blood because that is the strongest source of emotions in a being. My clan evolved to go straight to the source. So no, it isn't a lifestyle choice.
