History PlayingWith / LesbianVampire

* '''Reconstructed''': A vampire slayer who happens to be a lesbian herself kills a bunch of vampires, calming the mob by pointing out sexuality doesn't factor into morality.
* '''Played For Drama''': Alice being both lesbian and a FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire is at odds with her more conservative (on several levels) vampire elders. She is forced to live on her own as a result, able to neither rely on her vampire clan due to her refusal to compromise on her identity nor easily able to find friends among humans because [[WarmBloodbagsAreEverywhere she's a vampire]].

* '''Enforced:''' [[ExecutiveMeddling Studio executives demand]] for Alice to be a LesbianVampire in an attempt to shoehorn LesYay moments into her upcoming film.

* '''Downplayed''': Alice will bite men, but approaches biting them with as a straightforward, nutritional thing. Feeding from women is a much more intimate affair.

* '''Parodied:''' A OneGenderRace of female vampires endlessly lusts after ordinary human females, and only male humans such as Bob can stop them via raping them and likewise [[CureYourGays converting them over to a sexually straight way of thinking]].

* '''Deconstructed''': An angry mob sets out to burn all lesbians, thinking that all lesbians must be vampires.

** As people born in the middle ages, vampires have rather [[HeteronormativeCrusader old school]] [[DeliberateValuesDissonance values]], Alice included. They consider homosexuality abominable and [[HypocriticalHumor unnatural]].

* '''Discussed''': "LesbianVampire...insert [[IncrediblyLamePun tasteless]] joke about oral sex and periods here!"

* '''Justified''': Women bleed every month. Rather than going to all the trouble of biting/killing someone, [[FridgeBrilliance isn't it much more pragmatic for Alice to just seek out menstruating women, to ensure a steady supply of blood?]]

* '''Subverted''': ??
* '''Double Subverted''': ??
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': There are no vampires.
* '''Enforced''': ?? %% An Enforced Trope is one the author HAS to include despite not wanting to.
* '''Lampshaded''': ??
* '''Invoked''': ??
* '''Exploited''': Alice employs a form of misdirection with this: whenever people get the feeling she's hiding something, she comes out as lesbian and most investigators assume it's just that (provided plausible explanation). This gives her the added bonus of knowing just who is poking their noses into her business.
* '''Defied''':

* '''Played For Drama''': Alice being both lesbian and a FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire is at odds with her more conservative (om several levels) vampire elders. She is forced to live on her own as a result, able to neither rely on her vampire clan due to her refusal to compromise on her identity nor easily able to find friends among humans because [[WarmBloodbagsAreEverywhere she's a vampire]].

* '''Played For Drama''': ???

* '''Straight''': Sangria seduces and ultimately bites Alice.
* '''Exaggerated''': Sangria has a whole harem of young women that she's "turned".
* '''Downplayed''':
** Sangria will bite men, but slakes her 'other' thirst with women, and feeding from them is a much more intimate affair: she approaches biting men the way one would eating a Happy Meal.
** She's not metaphorical about being a lesbian. She will suck blood from either gender, but goes to singles bars for women when she wants to get laid.
* '''Justified''':
** Sangria was a lesbian or bisexual before she got vampirized.
** In this setting, vampires need blood that comes specifically from virgin women, [[IDidWhatIHadToDo in order to survive]].
** You know, women bleed every month; rather than going to all the trouble of biting someone (and effectively killing her/him), [[FridgeBrilliance isn't it much more pragmatic for Sangria to just seek out menstruating women, to ensure a steady supply of blood?]]

** Sangria is straight, but [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer every girl she meets falls for her and begs to be bitten by her]].
** Sangria bites a guy.
** Vampires have rather [[HeteronormativeCrusader old school]] [[DeliberateValuesDissonance values]], Sangria included. They consider homosexuality abominable and [[HypocriticalHumor unnatural]].
* '''Gender Inverted''': Vlad seduces and ultimately bites Bob.
* '''Subverted''':
** Sangria is bitten by Vlad and considers biting her human boyfriend.
** Sangria does bite other women but only sees them as a food source and considers having sexual relations with them to be bestiality
** Sangria [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday considers herself straight]] and views even ''feeding'' on women to be too sensual, so dates and dines on men exclusively.
** Sangria isn't ''actually'' a vampire. She's just a phlebotomist who happens to be a lesbian.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** But, in this setting, a vampire can only survive on the blood of [[VirginPower virgin women]], so Sangria has no other choice but to seek ''those'' out instead.
** Sangria can survive on anybody's blood, but is currently stuck inside a [[GirlsBehindBars women's prison]], which forces SituationalSexuality and makes women the obvious target of choice as they're already easy pickings (not to mention a cellmate who's RIGHT THERE). Sangria shrugs and takes the path of least resistance.
** But she certainly looks the part: she's an EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette, she works an evening or night shift, lives in a creepy old house on the outskirts of town, has an inexplicable foreign accent and social anxiety, hates (or is allergic to) garlic, and tends to stare at people's veins and is maybe a little ''too'' good at her job. It ''does'' help her pay for dates with Alice, though.
* '''Parodied''':
** Sangria seduces women who are on their periods and gets her supply of blood ''that'' way.
** Sangria is a {{Butch Lesbian}} or, alternatively, has a thing for these. Or both.
** She's "experimenting" with just drinking womens' blood.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Sangria initially considers herself straight, but is under the impression that vampires can only survive on the blood of virgin women. Turns out that it's virgins in general. Ironically, Sangria finds this out at about the same time that she comes out as pansexual.
* '''Averted''':
** Sangria is a human, lesbian or not, and stays that way.
** Sangria bites anyone in a rather vicious and totally nonsexual manner.
* '''Enforced''': GirlOnGirlIsHot meets HemoErotic.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Alice, your blood is so tasty..."
* '''Invoked''': Sangria learns that vampires can only subsist on blood taken from virgin women, and needs to seek those out or else she'll "starve".
* '''Exploited''':
** AliceAndBob are vampire slayers, and Alice feigns attraction to Sangria to put her off guard.
** Sangria employs a form of misdirection with this: whenever people get the feeling she's hiding something, she comes out as lesbian and most investigators assume it's just that (provided plausible explanation). This gives her the added bonus of knowing just who is poking their noses into her business.

** Women eat garlic and bring crosses to ward Sangria off.

* '''Conversed''': "I wonder what happens if a male vampire bites a man? Does his victim "turn" gay like that too?

** Sangria may have become a vampire. Few days later, women were attacked with bite marks as evidence.
** Sangria is a vampire who frequently gets LesYay moments.

* '''Played For Drama''': Any relevant vampire and romance plot around Sangria and her victims and/or love interests.
* '''Played For Laughs''': Sangria fulfills nearly all the humorous lesbian stereotypes, even the more obscure ones. She meets Alice at a Music/TeganAndSara concert, and on their third date, she picks Alice up in a U-Haul. When they arrive at Sangria's HauntedCastle, Sangria tells Alice she needs to "come out" to her, and Alice says, "Um, hey, CaptainObvious, I'd kinda noticed --" "No, [[VampireVords vait]], not that! I'm a vampire."
