Dru is a pretty vicious, heartless vampire. She has a penchant for attacking children and the very innocent. She's a killer.
Additionally, she has some psychic powers on top of her usual vampire powers (which include superhuman strength): Drusilla is clairvoyant, telepathic, can read auras, has precognition, and can hypnotize her prey. This makes her attacking style different from other vampires like Angelus or Spike. She gets a kick out of watching fights, but hand-to-hand or weapons combat are not her style. She is unlikely to engage in a straight-up fight with an armed opponent unless her unlife or something else of great importance is at stake. (NO PUN INTENDED OMG.)
Instead, Dru toys with victims for fun, hypnotizing and seducing them, sometimes using her psychic abilities to capture them. She isn't really a fighter in the traditional sense.
If you wouldn't mind giving me relevant information for your character, that would be great. I don't want to overstep boundaries. ALSO -- reach me on Plurk at manicmanic if you have questions or want to plot something.

I: Can Drusilla physically attack your character?
If so, would you allow her to:
a) Bite your character?
b) Feed off your character's blood?
c) Capture and imprison your character?
d) Torture your character?
e) Kill your character?
*********************************
II. Can Drusilla mess with your character's mind?
a) Can she read your character's aura? If so, what might the aura look like?
b) Can she communicate with your character telepathically?
c) Do you want Dru to see anything in your character's future with her precognition? (This will probably only be a hazy look: Luceti is limiting her abilities. She might be successful only half the time with her precognition and all the rest of it.)
d) Can Dru hypnotize your character? (Beware: she often does this just before going for the kill.)
Drusilla can also read Tarot cards. I doubt she would sit down with just anyone and do this, so it might have to be a plot-relevant thing, and only for allies.
Here is some info on auras, in case anyone was wondering or wanted more info on that.

Molly's past
- Molly got her introduction into magic the bad way. In the Dresden Verse, there's the normal regular good magic, and the bad, addictive magic which can warp one's soul. Guess which one she fell into?
-- Molly was in a teenage rebellion at the time, since she knew she was a wizard and knew that her parents wouldn't approve, and happened to be crushing on Harry at the time so she didn't go to him for help - instead, she thought she'd figure it out by herself. Yay for being a teenager. So at seventeen she drops out of high school and goes to live with the boyfriend and bff she met at the house she'd had to help with as part of a community service sentence (she'd been arrested for possession of E). The problem? Her boyfriend and bff are heroin addicts, and one day when they're high, the two of them get it on. This results in her bff becoming pregnant. The bff and boyfriend come clean - and Molly, who'd explored with her boyfriend but hadn't crossed that final technical virgin boundary (and still hasn't, in case Dru can pick up on that sort of innocence), tries to be forgiving and supportive, but all is not well in relationship land. That's when she's talking with the councilor who worked with her in the home and learns that there are new studies which spoke of the heroin addicting being successfully repressed by linking it with a fear stimulus.
Now, her bff has already had one miscarriage and is terrified of losing this next baby due to her addiction, so what Molly decides to do is use her magic to link 'heroin' and 'fear' in her bff's mind. But first she tests it out on her boyfriend. Now, in Dresden-verse, magic is fueled by a lot of things, but also by emotion, and the anger and betrayal she still feels towards him makes her do the spell with a bit more whammy than she'd intended on her boyfriend.
This effectively turns her boyfriend's mind into Swiss Cheese. Although it's several wizards opinion that he might recover, we're left thinking in later books that... probably not. The damage done to her bff was less extensive, and she's probably recovered.
-- So basically this leaves her riddled with tiny black lines of dark magic - and that magic is addictive. So one of Harry's main concerns in making her his apprentice was turning her away from anything like that which could tempt her to break the laws again, or enthrall someone.
Um.
Molly herself has been kidnapped and taken to the land of the Fae by horrible things called fetches. When Molly is found, her mouth is opened and no sound is coming out - she'd burned out her vocal chords from screaming in fear. Actually, while I'm linking wikis, here's Molly's.
Right now the big secret that she's carrying around? The one that's part of what eventually goes on to drive her slightly mad? It's that she helped Harry arrange for his death and then, at his request, wiped his memory of that arrangement. When they go home, even if they survive the battle they have to fight, Harry is going to die. And she's the only one who knows. And she loves him.
And now I have to be off for a bit, but I'm going to comment here anyway and come back to load you with links to powers and things! Feel free to pester me with questions if you want to draw up an aura or... anything that we want to play out. I just want to make sure you have as much fodder as you need!
Molly's mental defenses and offenses
This describes Molly's typical mental defenses, though I don't know what usually happens when Dru tries to chomp on someone with her mind, this describes the type of resistance she would encounter.
And this is Molly's mindscape in a place in her development where she isn't yet, which upon rereading probably isn't as helpful as I thought it would be, since this takes place after Molly has summoned the Corpsetaker's soul/consciousness into her own body in a battle for possession. Still, it's an interesting read, if you want it - there it is! Now you know just about as much about this as I do, and we can get on to the good stuff.
