Her instincts have been honed more by feeling than observation, and she’s got much more of an appreciation for a sharpened wooden stake or a heavy pistol than the latest in steam-powered gadgetry. She’s a much more physical woman, having been trained to battle vampires or other unsavory creatures and defend herself and other innocents from a young age. She can, however, be a bit brash and unthinking at times, but so long as one realizes that she’s not being rude on purpose (most of the time, at least) and is merely stating facts/her very informed opinion, she would make a very good friend.Įvaline is very nearly Mina’s opposite. Mina Holmes has the smarts and pragmatic nature of her famed uncle mixed with a softer side and a unique way of looking at things that might be thanks, in part, to her “feminine nature.” She’s extraordinarily observant and open to the idea of new technologies.

When the two women are called late one night to a mysterious meeting at the British Museum, they’re tasked with an investigation that will lead them into strange and dangerous situations-and force them to learn how to work together. (She is also sister to Bram, who, during the plot, is working on a book about a very old and very cunning vampire named Count Dracula.) Evaline is a Venator-a vampire hunter-and the latest in a long line of family members to be gifted with the enhanced strength, speed and healing that comes with the role. Mina, as she prefers to be called, has taken more after her uncle than her father and spends much of her life indoors, conducting experiments and honing her deductive reasoning skills.Įvaline Stoker, on the other hand, spends much of her life training and patrolling the late night streets of London. I am very impressed with the photoshopping going on here.Īlvermina Holmes is the daughter of Mycroft Holmes-and the niece of famed consulting detective Sir Sherlock Holmes. And the steampunky gears add an element of intrigue. I typically really hate big bugs, but the natural color and beauty of the scarab draws me in.
