The countess is a reinterpretation of the title individual in Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's gothic novella Carmilla (1872). The tale's most important man or woman is Laura, a woman preferred via Carmilla. Carmilla can for that reason be understood as the proto/archetype of the lesbian vampire whose reinterpretations are deeply ingrained in each Western and Asian popular subculture. These reasons, possibly unconsciously, structure the fan narrative.
