** Played with. This trope is invoked with Quincey, TheCasanova, and averted for [[spoiler: John]] who is the more savage and evil of the two. However, Quincey’s foray into being a VegetarianVampire weakens him, and his appearance takes a hit- he becomes more gaunt and disheveled. At the end of ''Reckoning'' when he reunites with [[spoiler: Mary, she knows he’s resumed feeding on humans]] because he looks “sleeker” and powerful again.
** Played straight for Rebecca.
