The comic originally ran for seventeen strips on Website/SmackJeeves from December 8, 2011 to March 29, 2012, but the archive was removed altogether in 2020, due to Smack Jeeves' demise. In the summer of 2022, the comic's archive was moved Website/TheDuck (after an unsuccessful attempt to host on Platform/ComicFury), and a rebooted second season began its 35-strip run on October 19. [[SequelGap Despite the nearly ten-year gap between the comic's two seasons]], the story makes no mention of the passage of time, and appears to continue on in a single timeline.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Dr. Marsala, who also seems to double for GratuitousItalian, not only has brown skin with rather curly dark hair, but also refers to Sigfred as his "Goombah" (no, not ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros that]]'' type of Goomba), which is an Italian slang term for a close associate, colleague, friend, or relative. Also on the Italian front is the fact that he is named after an Italian wine.

* BreakingOldTrends: Much of Scarbrough's work tend to border on DenserAndWackier, particulary his ''Steve D'Monster'' and ''WebVideo/MoronLeague'' [=YouTube=] videos. ''Vampire Girl'', while having its share of [[ActuallyPrettyFunny genuinely humorous moments]] is definitely DarkerAndEdgier in that it contains more thematic elements, such as a character undergoing a physical transformation and having to overcome obstacles and hurdles to achieve such. The comic even contains [[spoiler: mild language and ''death'']], which is highly unusual for Scarbrough, who often promotes his as being family-friend works.
Added DiffLines:
* CirclingBirdies: Vampire Hunter and Goofy Idiot Sidekick come down with a case of these as well as stars and other symbols after having a large metal door slammed into their faces as they attempted to run through an open doorway.
Added DiffLines:
* CueTheRain: Sigfred magically conjures up a rain storm in order to [[spoiler: block the rising sun as it begins to melt Levana's face]], AND is also able to cue the sun in order to [[spoiler: have the Vampiress, Saul and Paul meet their demise]].
Added DiffLines:
* DeathAsComedy: [[spoiler: Vampire Hunter and Goofy Idiot Sidekick dying from having a door slammed in their faces is played for laughs.]]
Added DiffLines:
* DeusExMachina: Sigfred [=LeRoy=] alone is able to magically conjure up a rainstorm [[spoiler: that not only blocks out the rising sun from bringing any further harm to Levana, but also opens a break in the storm clouds to have the sun vanquish the Vampiress and her lackeys]], and even call upon a witch doctor colleague of his in a snap to tend to Levana in her time of need.
Added DiffLines:
* EurekaMoment: Sigfred has two of these when he is able to figure what he has at his disposal in his arsenal of magic when it comes to helping Levana out of the situations she finds herself in, such as [[spoiler: the procedure that marries magic and medicine that will transform her into a mortal]] and using a strand of her hair so that her DNA will allow a white magic candle to literally light the way to where she is.
Added DiffLines:
* ExtremelyShortTimespan: A majority of the second season's central storyline takes place over the course of two nights and two days.
Added DiffLines:
* GrossUpCloseUp: When the Vampiress sentences Levana to face the ultimate consequence for her perceived act of treasion by transforming herself into a vampire, one panel is an extreme close-up of the Vampiress' mouth with saliva dripping from her fangs and lips.
Added DiffLines:
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Sigfred relies on this as he lures the Vampiress and her lackey into attacking him, waiting for just the right moment to [[spoiler: open the storm clouds he conjured up, thus allowing the sun to shine through and cook them]].
Added DiffLines:
* {{Irony}}: After Levana spends the entirety of the comic's run wanting to be transformed into a mortal because there are too many everyday notions that could potentially kill her (sunlight, garlic, the typical vampire stuff), and even being kidnapped by the supreme overlord of all of vampirekind who nearly sacrifices her for forsaking her birthright, [[spoiler: Levana receives a number of medical bills in the mail from the services rendered to her from Dr. Charmin, Sigfred, and Dr. Marsala to save her life... it's enough to have her scream "I WISH I WAS DEAD!!!"]]
Added DiffLines:
* KnowsAGuyWhoKnowsAGuy: In order find out more about Levana, Vampire Hunter manages to get her information about her (as a babysitter referal) from his aunt's dog's girlfriend's former owner's sister-in-law's ex-husband.
Added DiffLines:
* MinionWithAnFInEvil:
** Goofy Idiot Sidekick certainly lives up to his name and title, though to be fair, it's not so much that Vampire Hunter is evil himself, he's just more of an overzealous WellIntentionedExtremist.
** Initially averted with Saul and Paul, as they prove themselves worthy of being considered the Vampiress' most loyal subjects who carry out her orders without question. It isn't until they attempt to apprehend Laura and Sigfred that they comically collide into each other when the former two give them the slip, which leaves the Vampiress to comment on how she can never depend on her most loyal subjects to do anything right.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Pretty much everyday life is this for Levana once she becomes a mortal, and when considers just how restrictive her previous vampish lifestyle was, her enthusiasm in the mundane is justified.

Added DiffLines:
* NightAndDayDuo: Levana and Laura are this when Levana was a vampire; while the black-haired and dressed-in-black Levana was usually stoic and chronically depressed, the blonde and brightly-dressed Laura was Levana's main support network during her vampire plight.
Added DiffLines:
** Dr. Charmin pointing out that Laura was particularly emotionally involved in Levana's medical procedure was because of their friendship and the care that she possess for her friend is so much like a similar iconic scene from ''Series/Mash'' that Laura remarks that such a forced pop-culture reference isn't helping.
* {{Slapstick}}: A few moments throughout the comic, namely Vampire Hunter and Goofy Idiot Sidekick having a door slammed in their faces as they attempt to run through an open doorway, as well as Saul and Paul crashing into each other head-first when they attempt to apprehend Laura and Sigfred when they pull away at the last second.

Added DiffLines:
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Dr. Charmin notes that [[spoiler: after Levana's face had been melted by the sun when she had been turned back into a vampire, she suffered the equivalent of third and fourth degree burns, and that the best that medical science can do for her is to debride what of her skin had melted off as well as radical reconstructive surgery to her face, all of which would leave her in excruciating pain]].
Added DiffLines:
* TravelingAtTheSpeedOfPlot: Being a wizard, Sigfred is able to just pop in and out of the places he needs to be in the blink of an eye by magic. In fact, when he brings Laura along with her for such a travel, he warns her that it may leave her disoriented given that mortals are not used to such, and we see that his traveling with her looks very much like traveling through time and space at super sonic speed (specifically [=1/1,000=] of a second.
Added DiffLines:
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Vampire Hunter is a threat to Levana's existence by profession, even though Levana never did anything to him to warrant him hunting her down to rid her from society, nor does he even understand that she doesn't want to be a vampire, he still sees himself as somebody who serves his country by extreminating vampires, all of whom he sees as evil and sleazy - neither of which apply to Levana whatsoever.

* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: Something of a RunningGag throughout the second season of the comic, in which whenever Laura requests something specific of Sigfred, only for him to respond, "Dang it, woman, I'm a ''magician'', not a ''[=mind reader/miracle worker/medicine man=]''!"

* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: A unique variation, in that while in captivity, the Vampiress remarks to Levana on just how beautiful she is, and even suggests had she remained a vampire, some "lucky male vampire" would have been very happy with her as his life partner, [[BreedingCult thus contributing to the perpetuation of their species]].
Added DiffLines:
** She also spends a majority of the comic's second season in a tight black dress and tied to a stake.

Added DiffLines:
** She, Laura, and Sigfred have another one as [[spoiler: the sun begins to rise over the horizon while Laura and Sigfred fend of an offensive from Saul and Paul, which leads to Levana's face beginning to melt.]]
Added DiffLines:
* PrecisionFStrike: The Vampiress holds the distinction of being the first character to cuss in a Joseph Scarbrough Production, after she witnesses her minions, Saul and Paul, end up crashing into each other in an attempt to apprehend Laura and Sigfred, and mutters, "[[ItMakesSenseInContext Oh bloody hell!]]" in response.
Added DiffLines:
* VillainousBreakdown: The Vampiress not only sees through Laura's attempts to employ a little psychology to convince her to spare Levana's life rather than sacrifice it, but she does ''not'' take kindly to being, "Defied and inveigled," in such a blasphemous manner.

''[[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Vampire_Girl Vampire Girl]]'' is a [[WebComic webcomic]] [[MiniSeries miniseries]] that debuted December 8, 2011 created by Joseph Scarbrough. The comic centered around a vampire girl named Levana, who lives a life of irony, in that she doesn't want to be a vampire, as the life of vampire comes with so many limitations, such as having to avoid fatal sunlight or garlic, hat Levana finds her very existence to be a burden, and wishes to find a way to make her a mortal. Meanwhile, when word of her existence gets out, a pair of determined, yet incompetent modern-day [[VampireHunter vampire hunters]] make it their mission to hunt her down and destroy her.
