Batsy



From the comic "Grey Sky Blue Moon":

Patricia Potkin (The Elder) - aka "Batsy" is the shorter and more zaftig of the Potkin Twins. She favors her father as she possesses his raven hair.

Born 17 minutes earlier than her fraternal twin sister, also named Patricia, as their mother (ALSO NAMED PATRICIA) is a bit screwloose, Batsy Potkin is a sweet-natured young woman with a heart of gold and fangs of steel, as she is a vampire.

The Potkin Twins were born of a human woman named Patricia Van Zant, and a vampire, Sebastian Potkin - which should not have been possible, but for a witch's curse placed on their grandfather, Vanya Potkin, the last of the Nosferatu, which carried down their family line.

Batsy and her sister, "Pazuzu" are modern 20-something vampires, living in Seattle, Washington. They've, for the most part, lived a sheltered life. At least against the larger world of the supernatural. Now, thanks to a mishap with them feeding on a handsome young server at Seattle's Blue Moon Diner, who turned out to be an incubus, the vampire twins now serve the diner's owner, Lukazs, an ogre. The Blue Moon, being an establishment catering to Seattle's secret supernatural clientele, offers ample (often unwanted) opportunity for Batsy and her sister to experience supernatural lives and lifestyles from the larger world.

Of the two of them, the older Patricia Potkin seems to be less freaked out about their circumstance, and more annoyed. Before all this, Batsy's main worry was that clove cigarettes were getting harder and harder to find, as were people to 'eat' that wouldn't be missed who weren't filthy hipsters. The Blue Moon Diner provides her and Pazuzu with "shift drinks", which makes feeding, and thus, survival, easier, but she bristles at being beholden to their ogre employer, who may-well eat them should they fail to report for working off their debt to him.

Even worse, their father, Sebastian and grandfather, Vanya, actually agree that their working for the diner is a good thing. Thus, they are stuck there, whether they like it or not. Still, as long as Batsy has her beloved twin sister by her side, she feels that she can make it through a year of food service drudgery in the weirdest diner this side of the Twilight Zone.
