History
Alyssa is the head of the Siren Sect of vampires. She attends the meeting of the vampires as an ally of Xarus, and allows Dracula to be murdered with no objections.

She saves the life of Janus by giving him one of the pendants, further calling her allegiances into question.

Otherwise, her powers will steadily decrease to the point where she enters a comatose state. Alyssa is highly allergic to silver and can be severely injured, or killed, with silver weaponry. If Alyssa is injured by silver, her recovery time is considerably slower than normal. Alyssa is also unable to withstand exposure to direct sunlight. Her tissue begins to instantly dry up and will crumble to powder within a matter of moments. Alyssa can be killed by having a wooden stake plunged into her heart, somehow interrupting the mystical energies that keeps her alive. Alyssa can also be killed by being decapitated and being exposed to fire. Alyssa can also be affected by religious icons, such as the Star of David or a crucifix for example. Alyssa is affected by the strength of the wielder's faith in the icon and religion it represents, not the size of the icon itself. Alyssa must rest within her coffin during daylight hours. She must line her coffin with soil from her homeland in order to both sustain her power and travel more than 100 miles from her birthplace.
