Arcueid

Arcueid is a prominent character originating from the visual novel Tsukihime, developed by Type-Moon. She is also a central figure in its remake, Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon-. Arcueid is a True Ancestor, a rare and powerful type of vampire with a long lifespan and immense supernatural abilities. She is known for her striking appearance, often depicted with white hair and red eyes, and her typically aloof and somewhat capricious personality.

Their relationship evolves throughout the story, forming a cornerstone of the plot and exploring themes of love, mortality, and the nature of existence. Her presence often brings about significant conflict and dramatic developments, influencing the fate of both individuals and the world around them. Arcueid's character has become iconic within the Type-Moon franchise, appearing in various spin-off games and media, solidifying her status as a beloved and influential figure in visual novel history.
