Description
For *Elvenspot "Anne Rice Contest""Claudia (her last name is never given) was a young girl who lived in the poor, plague-ravaged quarters of 18th century New Orleans. She lost both of her parents to the plague, and is first introduced as a crying child of five or six years old in her house, next to her mother's dead body. She is small and delicately shaped, with golden ringlets for hair and pale skin. She is found by Louis de Pointe du Lac, the protagonist of Interview with the Vampire, and begs him to “wake” her mother. Louis instead feeds on her, much to his self-disgust, and her life is temporarily saved by Lestat de Lioncourt, Louis' maker.
Claudia is taken to the vampires' townhouse in the heart of New Orleans, and there she is turned into a vampire by Lestat. Lestat tells her that she is his and Louis' “daughter” and that now that she is in their family, Louis will not leave them. Though Louis is at first horrified at the thought of a vampire child (and indeed he accuses Lestat of condemning Claudia to hell), he and Claudia become very attached, and the three form a vampiric “family” for decades.."
"Claudia sinks into a sort of paranoid madness, finally forcing Louis to create his first vampire, a woman named Madeleine, to care for Claudia when he is gone, severing the ties between them, seemingly forever."
"Shortly after this, however, the Parisian vampires abduct the three of them and take them to the Théâtre des Vampires, where it is revealed that Lestat is alive and has sought punishment for Claudia's crimes. Though Louis' life is spared, Claudia and Madeleine are left to die in a room where they cannot escape exposure to the sun. Claudia is burned to death.."

Claudia is so adorable. I wonder how it feels to remain an eternal child

Pity you don't have a complete collection. You know I've been banging my head against the wall because I am quite ready to launch a new domain, but no designs satisfy me at the moment. I was thinking it would be something to make a collage of all your works and use that in a front page header and indeed, interspersed through the site itself. However, well, how can I say it in a non egotistical way? The main players are missing, dear boy! Que sera, sera I suppose. Do let me know what you think of the idea though, won't you?

Rick, I must say I love this. The one you did of, well, me... not so much, but this - this is breathtaking.
