A vampire doesn’t live to be over 800 years old by taking foolish chances, nor by clinging to old ways.
Keziah has always tried to adapt to the world around her, and blend in to survive. She’s never clung to old mansions or outdated modes of dress, for all that she may miss such things when they fall out of fashion.
The one thing she demands that no one forget is proper respect. Small she may be, and a woman besides, but she has outlived warrior kings and grand empires, and no stripling still smelling of grave dirt will ever look down on her. If one dares, he shall be put in his proper place – mewling for mercy at her feet.
Keziah may appear young, but the full weight of her age can be felt when one meets her eyes. (Especially if she is not in human guise.) Sometimes, in an effort to keep from overwhelming a young vampire, Keziah won’t even look at them when talking to them. This, combined with the deference shown to her by those of her House, gives the impression of a cold and demanding persona, but Keziah does care about getting along with others. She is not especially warm to outsiders, but if one manages to amuse or impress her, one can engage her in long and informative conversations.
