Lady Carmilla Sanguina (1561-1757) was a vampire. She took baths in the blood of her victims in the belief that doing so would help her to retain her youth and beauty.
This person could be related to Sanguini.
[edit] Behind the scenes
- Lady Sanguina may have been been inspired by Elizabeth Báthory, a 16th-century Hungarian countess who was accused of killing young women, then bathing in their blood.
- Carmilla is a Gothic 19th-century novel written by Sheridan Lefanu and starring a female vampire with that name. The story has been adapted to cinema and comic-books, with the character (or similar characters with the same name) appearing in other franchises.
- The surname Sanguina is derived from the Latin sanguineus, which means "of blood," "bloody," or "bloodthirsty."
