more context is needed — English Rose has requirements for a) appearance (petite, fair colouring) b) nationality c) personality (only her nationality was mentioned and personality somewhat brushed upon)

* EnglishRose: Despite appearing to be Romanian at first glance, Ilona reveals she is actually native from Oxford and that she moved alongside her father to Eastern Europe, where he died during UsefulNotes/TheFallOfConstantinople. She fits this trope due to being modest and pure, capturing the heart of [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Justin]].

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: At first glance, Vlad looks like a straight example (having superhuman strength, teleportation, turning into mist, wolves, bats, mind-control, etc), however he doesn't display the typical weaknesses. [[DaywalkingVampire Sunlight doesn't appear to harm him]] (but then again, his literary counterpart wasn't either, only merely weakened), and nobody ever mentions wooden stakes, garlic, crosses or the like. The only way to defeat him is to return his medallion back to his tomb after a fairly complicated ritual has been performed.

A 2003 horror movie with Creator/BillyZane, Creator/BradDourif and Francisco Quinn as the titular character.
In 1447, Vlad II Dracul of Wallachia is betrayed by Iancu de Hunedoara of Transylvania, who orders his execution before his sons [[UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler Vlad]] and Radu. Before his death, he hands over his medallion which belongs to the Order of the Dragon, a monastic order from which he belonged to him, and he now passes it over to his son. Vowing revenge on the people that betrayed his father, Vlad becomes a monster that would kill and torture thousands, being transformed into an immortal and cursed creature, a vampire.
Fast forward to present day, and four foreign exchange students are sent to Romania in order to write their respective thesis on Vlad the Impaler. What they don't know is that their dean responsible for sending them is also a Order of the Dragon member, and they end up coming across Vlad's medallion, which inadvertently displaces him from his time period and brings him to the future. With Vlad now unleashed into modern times, the students must seek the Order's help to find a way to defeat him.
