History YMMV / Bit

* CompleteMonster: [[MonsterLord Vlad]], all but directly stated to be {{Dracula}} himself, was a powerful vampire master and Duke's former tormentor. Appearing to Duke as a dashing playboy, Vlad took Duke into his [[VampiresHarem harem]] where he stripped her of her free will, along with several other women; this process had them [[AndIMustScream completely aware of what they were doing but unable to do anything about it]], as they were [[SexSlave sexually exploited]] for decades. Duke eventually overpowered and seemingly destroyed Vlad when his hold became weak, and was warped by her experience into a ruthless vampire mistress herself. Kept alive through his still-beating heart, Vlad still has enough power to brainwash vampire hunters into going after Duke's group, having some killed when they outlive their usefulness. Restored by his only loyal bride, Vlad immediately drained her of blood and tossed her aside, before ripping out Duke's heart, accusing her of being ungrateful for all the things he's done for her.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: While it's never explicitly brought up, Duke's StrawFeminist philosophy, when combined with Laurel being transgender, reads as a specifically second-wave, trans-exclusionary brand of feminism, and her conflict with Laurel as representative of clashes between the second wave and the more intersectional, trans-inclusive third wave of feminism.
