Worst Character Flaw
Muse/Fandom: Isabel Giovanni/World of Darkness Prompt: 1. Worst Character Flaw Word Count: 257
I'm undead.
I'm sure that I do have 'worse' flaws according to mortal logic, but, being undead, mortal logic doesn't hold much sway with me. It is bad enough that I must remember to 'breathe' when out amongst the kine for an extended period unless I choose to use my sorcery to bewitch them into ignoring the lack of a stead rise-and-fall of my chest... and let us not mention the lack of a heart beat. Then there is the whole blurred reflection in a mirror and the nightmare that is trying to explain why no vapour forms should I be delusional enough to blow upon a mirror.
Next would be the whole fear of flames burden we all bear. The bravest and most determined of us have learnt to laugh at Final Death and have taken up smoking. It can't really hurt us on the inside, but the chance of accidentally catching a light and going up in... well, smoke... adds a certain thrill to the eternal nights.
Let us consider next the complexion. I will never have a healthy 'glow' from hours spent frolicking underneath the warm afternoon sun. My rosy 'glow' will always begin with sorcery or a sated appetite for fresh, hot vitae. Given what I've heard from my ghouls about skin cancer, I guess the joke is really on all of those foolish enough to go out and worship the sun. I shall stick to moon-bathing.
And no, I do not sleep in a coffin. That is just silly and overly dramatic.
