- Mary

Mary (メアリー) is a legendary Ancient Vampire Hunter (最古の吸血鬼狩り) whose true identity is a Vampire who served as the Blood Queen Elisabeth closest aide. Forming a cooperative relationship with Claire Kagenō, she dedicates her life to stopping Progenitor's rampage in order to prevent another Red Moon tragedy.

Appearance
Mary is a sweet Vampire race girl with tall and slender stature. She has long attractive red hair and golden eyes.

Mary dressed all in black as she wears an outfit consisting of a black shirt, a red ruffle tie, black pants with red and gold accents, black gloves, calf high boots, and a black cape with red and gold accents that covers the shoulders and back, also wearing a wide-brimmed hat like a pirate's hat with red and white feathers.

Personality
Mary is a kind person, unlike vampires in general, she doesn't think of Human as cattle, she doesn't even hesitate to always help someone when she's in trouble. She is a very loyal person to her master, Elisabeth as she is unable to go against her orders or to kill her. In fact, she does everything to protect her master from bad people, including Crimson.

After Elisabeth went on a rampage, Mary dedicated her life to tracking her down and killing any vampires that do harm to humans.

Tragedy of a Dream
In the past, Mary was once a follower of the "Blood Queen", Elisabeth, which she became her loyal servant and her second in command. As a subordinate, she changed shifts to bring food to Elisabeth's room. However, a tragedy occurred when it was Crimson's turn. Mary drinks the corpse's blood so she can control the out-of-control Elisabeth. Then she chased after her and the others who had left the territory. After three days, she managed to find Elisabeth, but it was already night when it was all over.

A remorseful and tearful Elisabeth orders Mary to kill her and throw her ashes into the sea. But, Mary's sword path missed Elisabeth's vital organ, so she fell asleep and one day she was able to wake up again. Mary could neither, nor go against her master's orders, nor kill her, so she decided to hide in the immortal coffin and protect her no matter what.

After stopping her master's insatiable genocidal rampage, Mary made it her mission to slay any rogue vampires that dared threaten humanity and other species until she became an Ancient Vampire Hunter. One thousand years later, Crimson stole Elisabeth's body from Mary, she couldn't protect her due to her powerlessness and to her rejection of blood.

Equipment
In the novel, Mary used a black cross sword for her hut as a vampire hunter. While in the anime, she used blood sword.

Elisabeth
Her highness to which she devotedly served. When Elisabeth ordered her to stop and kill her, Mary chose to imprison her instead of allowing her to suffer because of her vampiric nature. Due to her reluctance to follow the order, It was to the point she hid her body in a coffin and vowed to protect her for eternity from Crimson after the previous Red Moon incident. Even though she could not go against her master's will, her decision backfired when Crimson managed to overpower her and steal Elizabeth's body.

Claire Kagenō
Bushin Festival Champion and prodigy, Mary employed her to come to the Lawless City in handling the upcoming Red Moon. She would almost regret employing her when her brother Cid got involved and knowing his life was endangered, they rush over to the Crimson Tower. Initially they believed to be too late to save him, Mary was shocked by her demeanor and recognition towards him.

When they fought alongside each other, they were able to held on their own against the berserk Elisabeth until Shadow saved her.

Cid Kagenō / Shadow
While assumedly a evacuee initially, Cid became a rescue target when Claire panicked for his safety. Mary thought he would end up as a sacrifice to reawaken Elisabeth, the two made an effort in saving him. Despite their efforts, they thought they were too late when they saw a corpse resembling him. In reality Cid was never endangered and was under his Shadow persona. Mary begged him not to kill her when he used his "I am Atomic recovery" on her. She is deeply grateful for freeing and saving her master however, she is unaware that he and Shadow are the same person.

Beta
When Beta accidentally made a remark about the Vampire Progenitors being similar to demons, Mary was enraged at the comparison as she condemned it as blasphemy for the Progenitors.

Crimson
Advisor for the Queen, Mary despised Crimson for causing the Queen to go berserk and kill many when he mixed human blood into her food with the intention of subjugating mankind under Vampire rule. Stealing her became his undoing when Shadow annihilated him.
