Dhampirs

Dhampirs or mostly referred as Dhampires or Daywalkers is a group of hybrids that are related to Vampires and Humans. Dhampirs are offsprings of a Female Human and a Male Vampire. They act like Humans and only have a few Vampire Weaknesses. Dhampirs are one of the most notable hybrids in the series.

History
Centuries ago, it was clearly mentioned that Human-Vampire romance is considered taboo and because of this, Vampires aren't allowed to have a romance with Humans. Somehow in the 15th Century, one vampire break the taboo and had a relationship with a Female Human. That Vampire married the human in secret, which results into pregnacy.

A female human impregnated by vampires is very dangerous and it would result death in childbirth. The relationship between the vampire and the female human results into the birth of the first dhampir in the world. The First Dhampir in the world was named "Rose" and has been living for centuries, killing the creatures of the dark and has been the first supernatural creature to kill her own kind.

In the 18th century, another Dhampir was born and was named "Albert", who was also a killer of the creatures of the dark and had been living under the wing of Rose. Years later, another Dhampir was born, who is the main character of the series, Akane Sakamoto.

Creation
Dhampirs can only be created when a Female Human is impregnated by a Male Vampire. They cannot be created if a Dhampir bites a Human.

Food
Dhampirs can also ate the same food as Humans, however they need blood to survive. Since they have blood within there body, Dhampirs can't drink there own blood and they will need a blood of a certain human or a warm-blooded animal.

Akane has been eating the same food as Humans since she was young and would drink Animal blood once a week. If a Dhampir fails to drink blood, they will turn weak and would suffered severe fatigue and would also lead to dehydration and death.

The blood thirst would trigger the Dhampir's personality into a feral mode and would lose their sense of humanity, they become crazy and would attack someone, if they are not fed with blood.

Nature
Dhampirs are considered to be calm and composed, some Dhampirs had a cold personality, like Akane and Rose. while the others aren't. Whenever someone bothered me, they would hiss at them and would show there fangs.

The bite of a Dhampir doesn't show any effect, if they bite a human, the human will stay as a human which is not similar to a Vampire's Bite. If they bit someone who is a supernatural creature, they would get weaker and would lose there abilities for a temporary time.

Society and Culture
Some of the other Dhampirs have rejected their Vampire and Human lineage, while the others like Akane has learn to accept it. Dhampirs are very protective and caring when it comes to Humans and would fight the creatures of the darkness, if they attack humans.

This was mainly the fear of all supernatural creatures that the Dhampirs will wipe out the entire existence of the supernatural,which leads them to considered Vampire-Human relationship as a taboo, just to prevent Dhampirs from being born.
