Annasthashia Fulger

"No one can dominate a king. A king is one who stands above others and points the way for us common people to follow them... If a king is dominated... He will no longer be a king... but a puppet."

- Natshia to her other self

Annasthashia Fulger, better known as Natashia, is one of the current five Vampire Counts and Sasha's mother. After an undisclosed incident in her past, Natashia was left heart broken and traumatized, giving birth to an alternate personality known as Natasha. This new demented persona is the cause of Sasha's abusive childhood, and the reason for Clan Fulger's decline in reputation.

However, after a fateful encounter with her son-in-law, Victor Walker, Annasthashia's true persona was able to resurface again in the middle of their clash. Immediately smitten with the young vampire, 'Natashia' strove to change her life for the better and sought to repair her broken relationship with her daughter. Afterwards, Natashia develops an increasing obsession towards Victor.

Physical description
Natashia is a beautiful woman standing 183 CM tall in height, has B-cup breasts and like her daughter Sasha she has long blonde hair and blue eyes. She usually wears a white dress fitting of her noble status.

Personality
Natashia is described by most people around her as a psychopath. As a Countess, she has a lot of authority within her territory and outside of it. A lot of vampire nobles and clans seem to harbor a grudge due to suffering from her and her crazy antics.

The woman can also be impulsive at times, as seen when she decided to retake her Count title from Niklaus and abducted her sister Victoria and her nephew Tatsuya in order to help her get a firm grasp around her Clan's deteriorating state of affairs.

On the contrary, Natashia seems to be disillusioned with vampire society as a whole, seeing the ugliness that lies beneath it's pretty facade. As a result, she became obsessed with finding someone who is 'true' unlike the 'fake' people around her. In her search however, she was greatly disappointed as she seemingly believed that someone 'genuine' doesn't exist. This ordeal left her in a mentally unstable state, which gave birth to her other personality-Natasha.

This new personality was the cause of most of her infamous reputation; gambling their family's resources, estranging her daughter from her, and even losing their clan's hard-earned Count status.

However, upon the reemergence of Natashia's true personality, she then decided to get back all the things that her other personality lost. It is also worth noting that she developed an obsession towards Victor, as she remarks that he is what she had been looking for all this time. Driven by this newfound goal, she starts to be a more responsible Countess and mother, and hoped that someday she too could earn Victor's love.

Early life
Natashia was born more than 1900 years in the past to Countess Carmila Fulger. Her mother pampered and spoiled her a lot, resulting in Natashia's impulsive attitude.

A younger Natashia also went to challenge the, then, newly appointed Countess, Scathach Scarlett, and over the years the two would continue to battle against each other.

After her mother's death, Natashia would serve as the next head of her clan and become one of the, then, four Vampire Counts. However, due to an incident in the past, her personality fragmented into two. The newly created personality resulted in the person that Sasha knew since childhood. This new persona was lazy and heavily addicted to gambling.

In one of her bets, Natasha lost her title as Countess to Niklaus Horseman. Natasha also indulged in brutally training her daughter, trying all sorts of methods to test Sasha's resistance.

Vampire Society
After news of Victor's performance during the arena game, Natasha and her husband, William, sought an audience with Victor in Scathach's territory. However, upon their first meeting with Victor, Natasha and William got into a heated argument with Victor regarding their mistreatment of Sasha. Because of this and William's blatant lack of concern for their daughter, Victor was infuriated to the point of deciding to kill them. Victor was victorious in claiming William's life.

However, Natasha wasn't an ex-countess for nothing. She was more resilient than Victor thought and during the onslaught, her original personality awakened. This original persona called 'Natashia' became intrigued and subsequently obsessed with Victor due to his display of power, immediately desired to claim him as her new husband. Victor rejects her in disgust however, but Natashia was not deterred and vows to earn his love if she had to share him with Violet, Ruby, Sasha and even Scathach.

After the king's telepathic announcement of a new Vampire Count, Natashia becomes even more motivated to regain everything that her other self has squandered. She started with killing a few bugs from her clan as well as her remaining two husbands, reasoning that Victor is the only one worthy to be her husband. In an attempt to reclaim her lost title as countess, she recruits her sister Victoria Rider. She also starts to try to reconnect with her daughter hoping that this in turn will lead to her getting closer to Victor, her new 'husband'.

A New Pillar
Not long after Victor's proclamation to Vampire Count, Natashia visits the king to gain permission for another match, and the king grants his permission. Natashia subsequently visits the Horseman Clan's territory to challenge Niklaus, and stakes her family's Divine Treasure for the match. The match was then set to commence after three days time. She then makes her way to Victor's home after getting the information from Agnes, to inform Victor of her plans.

During the match between the two Counts, Natashia quickly displays her superiority over Niklaus, quickly exploding the latter through a flurry of one thousand punches in just a single second. However, due to Niklaus' problematic ability, Natashia is unable to kill him permanently. Niklaus slowly turns the tide by dividing his body and hiding the main body underground, whilst he slowly poisons Natashia to inhibit her regeneration.

After a head on encounter, Natashia is left in a vulnerable state where Niklaus dismembers her into pieces, leaving only her head intact. At the last minute however, Victor arrives and feeds Natashia his blood in front of everyone. Natashia gains a tremendous boost in power and prepares to finally kill her opponent however, Niklaus suspected a trap set by Vlad when the latter allowed Victor's violation of the match's rules. After a sly and manipulative argument by Niklaus, the king approves his forfeit and Natashia is able to regain her Count title through Niklaus' forfeiture.

Skills and abilities

 * Electrokinesis: Natshia has inherited the trademark ability of her clan to generate and manipulate lighting and electric currents. Natshia mainly utilizes her abilities by augmenting surrounding her body with tendrils of electricity and greatly augmenting her speed in combat. She has demonstrated that the upper limits of her speed augmented by her lightning abilities can reach the point where she can casually punch Niklaus Horseman, another Vampire Count, a million times in a single second without her opponent being able to retaliate. However powerful their clan's ability maybe, it still has a drawback as vampires doesn't usually have a natural resistance to lightning or electricity. In time however, especially after meeting Victor and drinking huge amounts of his blood a couple of times, she has naturally bypassed their clan's vulnerability to their own power. Now she can use her electric abilities to their full extent without suffering any backlash. Clan Fulger's ability is also rumored to have come from spirits.
 * De Fulmine Judicii「literally meaning "Thunderbolt's Judgement"」: Natshia in her full Vampire Count form summons a massive golden lighting beam from the clouds that is magical in nature. The power contained in this attack is so devastating that it is stated to be capable of wiping out an entire country.

In her complete form, her skin glows with a golden hue, her hands and feet turn into sharp claws, her back is adorned with long bat wings. Her eyes takes on a deeper red color while her hair looked like it was made of lightning itself. Her clothes also disappear in this form, and in its place, a kind of bra and panty shape garments are formed out of scales.


 * Body Control: By training the basic skill Bat Transformation that all vampires have, the skill will eventually evolve, and they can change their appearance to whatever they like, an ability only attained by vampires who have trained and completely mastered all their racial powers. Natashia often uses this to enhance her breasts, as she thinks that Victor likes well endowed women.
