Maaka, Karin
Summary
Karin Maaka, the central protagonist of the series, is a unique vampire born on October 13, 1987. Standing at 152 cm with measurements of 89-52-77, she belongs to the Unvampire race in the anime adaptation, while the manga classifies her as a Spring of Psyche. Unlike traditional vampires, Karin suffers from polycythemia, meaning her body produces an excessive amount of blood rather than requiring it from humans. Her blood levels spike dramatically when she senses the unhappiness of others or becomes embarrassed, leading to frequent nosebleeds and subsequent anemic symptoms like light-headedness. These episodes often force her to visit the school nurse’s office for rest. Instead of draining blood, she injects her surplus into others, which has the beneficial effect of making her victims feel remarkably lively and positive.
