* PayEvilUntoEvil: While plenty of vampires like hunting and/or making chattle of innocent people, Dracula has made it his modus-operandi to hunt people who have it coming, {{Vampire Hunter}}s being the easiest to find. While Lisa would prefer he didn't kill at all, she much prefers that he keeps his rage towards self-defense.

* AscendedExtra: In Season Two of the show, there is mentioned of an old village healer who was running out business from Lisa's more effective medicine, so she told the local church that she was a witch, but is otherwise never seen on-screen. Here though, she was the first to suffer Dracula's rampage for his wife's near-death, being made an example of to the rest of the village.

--> '''Dracula''': They tried to burn her alive, and so I think I will leave you alive also. I will spike you up that you might live for hours. Or, mmm. The rain shows no sign of stopping. Perhaps I will force your mouth open to the sky. You cretins like to baptize your witches with fire, but of course, you are a good, faithful woman, aren't you? So let us see how long until you drown.

* MoodSwinger: When Dracula and Lisa decide to court a relationship, he offers to wear a muzzle (though Lisa likens it more to a torture device) designed to keep vampires from biting people. He compares the will to feed in vampires to human libidos, can come suddenly without warning and that while he is usually TheStoic, he doesn't trust himself not to attack Lisa at any given moment.

Mother would never forgive it. It would be more than she can bear, and it will only drive them to further and fiercer witch-hunting.

* NotSoDifferent: Trevor is under the impression that all vampires are AlwaysChaoticEvil and sees whatever humanity Sypha sees in Lisa as nothing more than a ruse. Lisa responds in-kind by attacking him, seeing him as exactly the same as the people who tried to kill her for accusations of witchcraft; just another man who wants to kill her for "her own good".

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In Chapter 2 of ''Hunger'', Lisa finds Dracula healing after a VampireHunter threw holy water in his face.

* AntiHero: Alucard has a much stronger moral compass than his father, but he is also willing to kill the people responsible for his mother's near-death and he isn't above conning a merchant by "selling" his magic sword if it means providing for himself and his mother.

!!This fanfic provides examples of:
* DoesNotLikeMagic: Being a woman of science and humanist thinking, Lisa abhors magic and its tendency to throw out logic and its arbitrary rules out of principle.
* ForWantOfANail: The biggest divergent from canon is that [[spoiler:Dracula returned just in time to save Lisa from the witch-hunt and turn her into a vampire to heal her wounds.]]
* IHaveNoSon:
** When Dracula loses his temper and kicks Lisa out, he says to "take your half-breed ''bastard'' with you." It is not until after does he regret it.
** Inversely, Alucard takes his mother's banishment than she did, refusing to even talk about him for any long duration of time.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Dracula has a history of making every RoaringRampageOfRevenge a spectacle that only escalates the problem, this being one of the reasons Adrien offers to do it in Targoviste instead.
--> '''Adrien/Alucard''': That is why we do not need you— you— ugh, [[MythologyGag appearing in a cloud of flame or raining blood from the sky or tearing apart the entire population and posting them on pikes outside the gates]].

* VegetarianVampire: Being a doctor, a humanitarian and a freshly-sired vampire, Lisa refuses to feed on human blood, be it fresh or in stores. After she grows used to her new state, she decides that she would not be against feeding on animals, regarding how "[a] wolf still deserves to eat." Since humans are vampire's nature prey, animal blood leaves a bad taste in her mouth.
