Although a vampire is a ferocious and vicious fighter in many cases, she will also often be inclined to play the role of an elegant, noble lady when tame. Should she come into contact with a dawn stone, however (a highly irregular occurrence), this inclination will become fully realized. Evolving into a Starlady, a vampire loses most of her more primal vicious tendencies, instead becoming fascinated with the elegant and beautiful.

Physically, this can be reflected by drastic change... or none at all. The primary deciding factor is what her feelings in relation to her own appearance are; if she feels that her breasts are too small or large, then they may gain or lose up to one cup size. If she is displeased with the color of her hair, then it may gain highlights or change to a different color. If she feels that she isn't tall enough (or that she is too tall), she may grow or shrink by a few inches, et cetera. Such changes can affect almost any part of her body, but never to an extreme degree with limitations along the lines of the given examples. One aspect that will not change, however, is that her fangs must remain (sometimes to the extreme annoyance of the Starlady) so that she may feed. Interestingly enough, she also gains an immutable form enhancement that prevents techniques such as Bloom powder or Buttsprout from having any effect on her now "perfect" body.

Mentally, the changes are less variable, however. Be it her wardrobe, which is most definitely not suited to the budget of your average tamer, her fighting style, or even taming, elegance is central to a Starlady’s life. Of course, as with her appearance, this elegance is not something that is standardized between members of the breed; each Starlady will generally have her own idea of what is elegant. For example, one Starlady might find roses to be the ultimate in elegance, and so base her attire, hairstyle, etc entirely around roses, whilst another might imagine that no attire could possibly add to the elegance of her body, and so she might prefer to go unclothed.

When it comes to the fighting style of a Starlady, her obsession with elegance translates into a philosophy that is nearly opposite to that of her evolutionary counterpart, the Lucarda. Whilst a member of the latter breed will often allow herself to be hit many times, only to regenerate, a Starlady prefers to never let herself get hit even once. To this end, she will generally fight using illusions, speed, flight, and the "Shadow" techniques to avoid taking a hit, while counterattacking with sword techniques of her own (a form of combat that most Starladies consider to be the most elegant, and one that is very useful in conjunction with Shadow). Despite her numerous enhancements that would theoretically negate a great deal of damage, however, if a Starlady does take a hit, especially one that has an obviously inelegant effect on her body, her fighting prowess will often decline as she becomes distraught and sidetracked. As such, although the first hit is quite hard to get in, the odds are that the more you hit, the more likely you are to be able to hit again.

On the subject of harem dynamics, a Starlady can be a bit troublesome. Although not generally insistent, she will often attempt to subvert the fashion senses of the other members in a way that brings them closer to her image of elegance, and this is doubly true for the tamer. Resisting this is not a particularly wise course, but it will not generally drive too much of a rift between her and the harem... unless her tamer refuses to allow the Starlady her elegance or she finds another 'girl on the harem particularly inelegant. Whilst the first is not often a problem, since the Starlady's idea of elegance will often develop parallel to that of her tamer while she is a vampire, on the rare occasion that it is, she will generally act extremely cold to the tamer, even to the point of risking feraldom, and little short of a Level 5 taming cycle will make her relent. In the latter cases, she will generally attempt to undermine said 'girl, or find some way to change her into a more elegant form. As such, as long as a tamer doesn't object to having a highly elegant harem, a Starlady is a decent alpha choice, and any tamer willing to give her this power will have earned an extremely elegant “consort” whose loyalty knows few bounds.

In addition, since what a Starlady considers to be elegant varies greatly, so do what sexual positions she will find acceptable. As such, it is impossible to accurately enumerate any breed-standard preferences, and, despite their generally high libido, a Starlady can be as prudish as a Seraph or as amorous as a Succubus. However, it might be noted that some Starladies derive a thrill from being forced to deviate from what is elegant, although figures on how many are sketchy. In any case, if you are going to forbid her to be elegant, this is one place that it might not end badly, since a Starlady’s feral state is not at all elegant by her normal standards. Similarly, most Starladies will be willing to overcome any feeling about their method of feeding being inelegant, because starving to death is much more so.

Finally, a Starlady’s feral state something of a parody. Feral Starladies still believe that they are elegant, but their idea of elegance is somewhat comical, often taking the form of clashing, mismatched clothing, hair worn in an amusing style, clumsiness, et cetera. They will normally avoid people, however, finding most of them to be “inelegant” by her new standards. When one attacks her, though (especially a well-dressed person, who is ironically her most probable hunter), she can become quite the threat, and extreme caution is advised. Threshold is generally considered impossible as of 300 AS, due to no Starlady having yet achieved her second puberty.
