* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Getting possessed by dark magic can turn you into one. [[spoiler:According to WordOfGod this doesn’t make her a real vampire since her power is entirely dependent on Dukes cane and she will turn back to normal if it is taken away. This also means sunlight won’t kill her, but it does cause her a lot of pain]]

However, Missi was originally just a normal girl who happened to wander into the mansion, and was subjected to a game of cat and mouse with an immortal vampire, only managing to kill him through a fortunate case of CueTheSun. Had Duke left her alone, she never would've obtained his cane.]]

* HoneyTrap: How Missi ultimately overcomes Duke in the first video. During their one-sided dance, she spots light peering through a curtain in the hallway they're in, and proceeds to play along with his dancing, even giving lewd facial expressions to lure him over to the curtain, and let his guard down. Once she has an opportunity to grab it, she yanks the curtain rope down, and causes light to flood the hallway, and then knocks Duke into it with his cane, frying the elder vampire.

* MilkingTheGiantCow: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]]. Duke is a vampire, and a man of nobility as a result. He's prone to making these sorts of gestures when speaking, as shown in some of the animation tests Daria has done, and when he's singing, ''he performs''.

The short was highly acclaimed, and a sequel came out the following year, giving a short detail of Duke's situation after being killed, all to the tune of another Voltaire tune, "The Land of the Dead."

The first short, "The Night," was released in 2016 as a graduation film for the Skenkar School of designing and engineering. Missi has a fateful encounter with Duke when she decides to slip into his mansion to read a book one eerie night, and a major game of cat-and-mouse ensues. This ultimately results in Duke's seeming demise, and Missi being possessed by his magical cane, all set to the tune of {{Music/Voltaire's}} "The Night."

The short was highly acclaimed, and a sequel came out the following year, giving a short detail of Duke's situation after being killed, all to the tune of another Voltaire tune, "The Land of the Dead."

Later that year, a third short titled "The Resurrection" sets in motion the feud between the two vampires.

The three shorts can be viewed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WsZ2fUXbZg here]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ltx-pmjdAAI&t= here]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcy5AUvm7iE here]].

----

!!Tropes that appear in these shorts:

* TheCorruption: Duke's cane is confirmed by WordOfGod to infect anyone who wields it with both immense power and an overwhelming desire to do evil.
* FangsAreEvil: Before being corrupted by Duke's staff, Missi is a normal woman. After? She sports a nice set of chompers. Duke [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzags]] this, as while he's clearly amoral, he seems more mischievous than malicious.
* NearRapeExperience: Towards the end of The Night, it ''seems'' like this from Missi's perspective. But one thing that should be noticed is that Duke never makes a full sexual advance until ''after'' Missi begins her seduction ploy.
* MickeyMousing: Duke does this a ''lot'' when he's singing. His NoodlePeople anatomy only furthers this, as he's often bouncing around and slinking across the screen in rhythm to the songs. [[spoiler:Missi bounces and sways to the rhythm too, when it's her turn. It's a wonder if that's a side-effect of the cane's power...]]
* MsFanservice: Downplayed. Missi ends up getting a brothel dress within a minute of her experience with Duke, and sports it from then on. And ''boy'' does she sport it well! But it's partly from magic, and more a case of SheCleansUpNicely than anything.
* NoodlePeople: Duke is exceedingly tall, and his lankiness shows as a result. A lot of his MickeyMousing involves him bouncing his shoulders and wiggling his body in place.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Missi, while not homely in her ordinary clothes, looks extremely plain. When Duke transforms her clothes into a brothel dress, however, decking her out with makeup, and so on, she looks like a completely different person.
* ShoutOut: {{Music/Voltaire}} gets a lot of love, as two of his songs are used for the shorts, and even when [[spoiler:his songs don't show up in the third short, [[TheCameo he still appears as a painting of himself]]!]]
* SmugSmiler: When Vampire!Missi isn't throwing a DeathGlare your way, she's doing this.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: The entirety of "The Ressurection" is Missi giving a musical one to Duke, [[spoiler:before throwing him out of his own house.]]
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: "The Night" is set to the tune of Voltaire's "The Night." "Land of the Dead" is set to the tune of Voltaire's "Land of the Dead." Meanwhile, "The Resurrection" is set to the tune of [[spoiler:[[Music/LilyAllen Lily Allen's "Fuck You"]], and is sung by Missi, as opposed to Duke.]]
* TooDumbToLive: Missi in The Night. An explanation for her choosing an ''abandoned mansion'' to read her book in has not yet been given.
* WhosLaughingNow: In "The Resurrection," [[spoiler:Missi has learned how to effectively use Duke's staff, and uses it to assume control of his mansion, even resurrecting the guy just to deny him the joys of living in the underworld.]]
* WeakenedByTheLight: In classic vampiric fashion, Missi kills Duke at the end of the first short by pulling open the curtains in the hallway, thus causing all the sunlight to shine in.
