CHARACTER Name: Anita Blake Canon: Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter Timeline: After the events of The Killing Dance (Book Six) If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A!
Personality: Very plainly, Anita is an extremely straightforward woman, sometimes to the point of being impatient. Especially when she’s on a case, she is very information-driven and doesn’t appreciate being jerked around by people who think they can outsmart her. She usually doesn’t care for people who beat around the bush, feeling it doesn’t accomplish much of anything. She goes to great lengths to make herself appear as a hardass when she’s on the job, since her very small stature as well as being a civilian and a woman are all pretty much major foils when it comes to earning professional respect. Thankfully, her deeds are pretty well-known throughout the underground culture in St. Louis, and almost every vampire and lycanthrope knows who she is – they certainly all know of The Executioner, if not “Anita Blake.”
Though she is very direct while on the job (aside from the occasional sarcastic comment for seasoning; she does have a tendency to be flippant), she is actually a fairly laid-back person in her every day life – not that she gets much downtime to begin with. She likes quiet things, like spending an afternoon in her apartment with a book, and loves musicals and traditional theater. She is also very athletic, and works out with her best friend, private detective Veronica Sims, several times a week, running together when the weather is warm and hitting the gym in the winter. Since her work for the police force and work as an executioner require her to be physical so often, she puts a very high premium on physical fitness and making sure she’s always in good shape to chase down or outrun anyone or anything she might have to. Though most people who know her professionally would never guess, she is kind of a huge dork, making a lot of pop culture references or sarcastic comments that often only end up being funny to her, since she is usually making them in the company of centuries-old vampires who wouldn’t know comedy if it walked right up to them and yanked on their overly-frilly cravat.
Anita is also much, much more old-fashioned than most people would expect. She is a very devout Christian, formerly a Catholic until the Vatican decided to excommunicate and condemn all animators. She now classifies herself as an Episcopalian. She never misses church on Sunday mornings if she can help it, and places a lot of stock in her strong faith. At the very least, it has kept her safe on countless occasions, since crosses and other such holy symbols are only effective as a ward against a vampire if the bearer truly believes in the source of its power. Despite being a dedicated Christian, however, her language is still pretty bad sometimes, especially when under stress. She does not drink alcohol and, on the whole, disapproves of it, finding drunkenness unattractive and feeling that hindering your own senses is rather foolish. She is very traditional concerning sex, and is waiting for a committed relationship, if not marriage. Her current boyfriend, Richard, has gotten her pretty close, though they have some hurdles to clear before she’ll be willing to go through with it. She has had sex in the past, when she was in college and engaged, but her fiancé broke the engagement because his family disapproved of her ethnicity. Since then, she has chosen not to give herself freely, feeling that sex is a very serious and personal matter.
She also collects stuffed penguins. They are her favorite animal, and her only vice. Her penguin collection is only rivaled by her collection of coffee mugs with hokey or vaguely-offensive slogans on them, which she primarily gathers just to bring into the office and irritate her boss, Bert. She keeps track of brownie points people earn and lose for various behaviors in her head, unbeknownst to the receivers, and loves coffee more than just about anything else under the sun. She dresses very plainly in jeans, running shoes, and polo shirts or plain tee-shirts, having little interest in fashion and preferring to keep things simple and easy to move in.
