“Waiter, waiter! More excuses to draw Striga please!”
It’s Nosferatober, so I gotta draw Nosferatu everyday… which means I have an excuse to draw Striga every day! Hooray! (Still suck at drawing tho)
Striga is OUR favorite Npc who is unlocked with level 100 nosferatu. And we, yes WE love her so much that I’ll bother to explain some of the ways I interpret her lore for everyone here, to whom Striga can thank for her totally existent doting!
Striga and Nosferatu were once very close to each other, back before he betrayed the Masquerade. Except Striga was no ordinary vampire… she was… a STRIGA!… which is a translation of the Polish word ‘strzyga,’ which refers to a woman born with two hearts, two souls, and two sets of teeth, who lived life the same as any other woman before death, where one of their souls went to the afterlife as normal, while the other one stayed in their body and was reborn as something no longer human that would have to consume the blood of humans to survive.
Upon hearing of Nosferatu’s senseless murdering, Striga impulsively came to his residence to confront him about it, intending to kill him. They very quickly escalated into a fight when she arrived, which ended in Striga’s death.
While draining the essence of Two-by-Two from his erstwhile kin, he felt an addling emptiness; no sorrow, no guilt, just that same tepid amusement of any other life he took. Nosferatu knew soon after he was to elude the vampires, lest he entreat his time’s second great extremity. Before eventually making it into the forsaken realm.
Striga, now reborn, was separated from a half of her she had grown quite fond of. Her second soul had died, and went to the afterlife. She returned to Dracula, seeking instruction. She was told it is imperative she ensures Nosferatu has an eye kept on him, to make sure he doesn’t jeopardize their race.
She followed Nosferatu into the Forsaken Realm, without the Spectre’s knowledge, as she found a certain way to come and go as she pleases. She wished to make sure Nosferatu never got the chance to harm the second soul of hers which left.
Yes, I am looking too far into this random ass npc. No, I do not care.
