Caroline

"What are you talking about?! Why the faint of heart drivel? Elder, have you forgotten the law of our village? Once we have a contract with one who's come to seeking our aid--regardless of who they maybe--we must uphold the wishes of our employer or die trying. And I, Caroline, intend to do so, with aid of Mashira and Benge. I have a juicy tidbit for you to take to your grave. This carriage is bound for the Claybourne States."

Caroline is a mutated Dhampir and member of the Barbarois who works alongside Benge and Mashira as the female member of the trio. She makes her appearance in Demon Deathchase.

Appearance

She is described as a figure in blue who seems to frolic when she moves. The morning breeze rustled her golden hair and bore the aroma of her sweet perfume. Only D could detect something else. The foul stench of blood that drifted with it. She laughs very coldly when amused and the indigo dress she wore was an alluring and very unsettling deep shade of blue. She has a curvy form with round attention getting breasts. In the Blood Lust movie she appears to almost be wearing nothing at all with her body covered in an unsettling shade of green with golden streaks which gives shape to her voluptuous form. The cloth is either very tight or appears to be some form of body paint. Her hair is mostly the same shade of green with mixed in golden locks of hair. Her eyes are blue in the novel the same color as her dress, while in the movie her eyes are a wild gold pupil the same hue as her attire.

Biography

Like all the Barbarois, Caroline is a descendant of a variety of halfbreed demons, indebted to the Sacred Ancestor, who appears in their past as a savior. She first makes her appearance known to the Marcus Clan after Benge had initially tricked them with his Shadow Trap. They were signaled by Mayerling by a flare. They then take to delaying the  clan so he has enough time to reach the village.

She warns the clan that unlike her compatriot she will not resort to cheap pranks if she has to come to deal with them. Turn back now or die. They don't listen how ever and she is forced to back up those words a presses her assault. The clan respond in kind with Borgoff unleashing a type of poison gas from his arrow which catches her off guard. She is forced to retreat cursing them all the while. Back at the village she and the others are guarding the carriage preparing for the trip to the Clayboourne states.

When D arrives and is greeted by the elder she is disgusted by his tender dealings with the hunter like the other guards and feels that despite his ruling that D should be killed and the contract with Mayer held up as originally promised. She and the others call for all those who agree to attack now. They do but D cuts them down. While this is happening the Marcus Clan have sneaked up on the village and are observing. They press to attack sending in Grove on the assault. On his way in he over hears the conversation with D and obtains the vital information they needed which was the destination of the carriage. As Grove attacks the guards take advantage slipping out with the carriage the back way. While on the road they are pulled over into a location that Mashira has purposely taken them to. Mashira and Caroline eye up the forms of their retainers, seduced by their attraction they develop an overwhelming desire to have them. Caroline wanting Mayer, and Mashira wanting the girl. He conspires with her asking her if she would like to join him in destroying this so called eternal love they share and taking them for themselves especially since the Elder has now seemingly abandoned them and they can no longer return to the village after disobeying. She agree, the pair seek to include Benge in this betrayal but they eventually find out he was killed.

Later She ends up fighting both D and Leila Marcus in the Ancient Battlefield. Here she sets up an ambush for D. Leila shows up where she blasts it with a mini nuclear missile volley that turns out to not do anything as D had already severed the hand of Hercules/Apollo. She follows after him when he retreats suddenly on the verge of killing Caroline. She finds him where he had buried himself, but Caroline found him as well. After a brief scuffle with her she finds she is outmatched and begs her to spare D and kill her instead. Caroline laughs and scoffs that she has found her weak point and will kill D first, as she strikes, Left hand blocks the attack meant for D's heart and through strength alone she is unable to budge it because he is vastly superior. She yells: MASHIIRA?!?! Left hand scoffs and says she has the wrong guy, one of her compatriots must be one if his kind huh? Throwing her aside she tries to flee but left hand tosses a Wooden Needle so fast and with so much force the woman is thrown back and pinned by it. Leila pounces continuing the assault stabbing her several times with her Javelin. Convulsing in pain she bites Leila and leaves saying she will be under her control next time they meet. Leila resigns to her fate, feeling that she will be under her influence soon. , biting Leila at one point, but ends up retreating. She is killed when she returns and attempts to control Leila, not knowing Leila has a rare ability to resist. Leila pretends to obey and catches Caroline off guard as she stabs her with her own knife.

Blood Lust Movie and Novel Differences

Benge, Machira, and Caroline guard the carriage.

In the movie she doesn't have many lines, she has alot more to say in the book. Her personality is the same although the book adds to the fact she is ashamed of being a Dhampir, and comes to have an overt affection for Mayer along with scorn of his nature of being a true vampire and not a fake like she feels she is. This mix of love and hate drives her to want to destroy the relationship he has and take him for herself as he would not be able to resist her alluring ways. If he did then by force if necessary. Her powers differ in that the initial means to take control over something she has to touch it and transmutate her form into the object. Once transmuted she can manipulate the matter to take other forms and seems to add to its mass by transmutating surrounding objects into it to add more. The Novel depicts the bite is enough to control it and drinking of the life blood of the object. She is killed by Leila with her own weapon in the Novel while she is killed by Leila's knife being used as a lightning rod and blasted into her head catching her off guard killing her.
