I'm not mad or anything. [A tentative smile. It's her only real attempt at one so far. Honestly, she thinks it's kind of cute.] It's fine, really. If you have questions I'd prefer that you just ask. It'll save things from being awkward later.
[She lifts a finger up to her lips in thought.]
Um... the stereotypes, lets see. [Maybe it'll help?] I'm not dead and never have been. Garlic tastes good in many dishes. I don't follow any western religions, but crosses and religious relics don't harm me or anything. I'm not some kind of evil spirit. [Or devil. Whatever it would be called.]
What else...? Oh- [She points up above her] Bright lights hurt my eyes a lot because I'm naturally nocturnal. But I wont turn to ashes or something for being out in the sun. [She just makes sure to bring an umbrella with her when out in the day light.]
