Bennia Ruthven

Bennia Ruthven is a Noble pure-blooded Vampyre and a member of the Dracula Faction, a male-dominated Vampyre faction, that was previously in a civil war with the Carmilla Faction, a female-domination Vampyre faction, and the Tepes Faction, a fellow male-dominated Vampyre faction.

Appearance
Bennia has a doll-like appearance with long wavy light purple hair, shining orange eyes, and a beautiful face similar to that of a Western doll. She also has a pale skin tone similar to that of a corpse.

She wears a red dress worn by princesses back in the Middle Ages, with an ornamented head-dress. In Volume 23, she appears at the Pendragon Residence wearing the Kuoh Ryuu Academy girl's uniform. She also wears light pink nail polish on her fingernails and toenails.

Personality
As a pure-blooded Vampyre noble, she originally had an extremely arrogant, noble, and selfish personality, often discriminating against those who are not pure-bloods, such as herself, although she was capable of acknowledging someone's strength, even if they were outside her race. However, sometime after the chaos caused by the civil war in her homeland and Drakon's actions, her personality has revamped, as she becomes much more calm, sweet, sensitive and kind, ultimately dropping her discriminatory and arrogant attitude, although she maintains an amount of stubbornness.

Bennia is seen to act flushed and embarrassed at the mention of Arthur, showing that she has fallen for him, showing a more shy side to her personality. Similar to Robertina, she previously looked down on Arthur, but overtime she developed feelings for him. She can be quite clumsy with trivial things when nervous, as shown when she tripped and dropped a tray with teacups by accident.

History
Bennia was born into the House of Ruthven, one of the highest ranking noble Vampyre families of the Dracula Vampyre Faction. At one point she's chosen as the envoy to recruit both Nanao Tepes and Casper Vlad to their side for the Vampyre Civil War.
