#9-year-old me was casually engaging with themes of class solidarity all for a fellow child's party

[somewhatsentientspellbook]

If you want to know more about the kind of person I am, just know that at 9 years old I spent a week preparing for a monster-themed costume party by writing down a list of my character's traits and key backstory moments in a notebook

Said character was a 'vampire countess' who had been born a peasant and therefore didn't like to hunt the poorer citizens in her town - instead choosing to, quite literally, eat the rich

Other things written down included, but are not limited to:

Kind to poor people and pheasants (I am unsure if child-me meant 'peasants' or if she just really liked birds)

Retractable fangs (cool character design that I think was used to justify removing the fake teeth without sacrificing the aesthetic)

Likes staring at her old home (ooh, a mysterious and tragic past...)

Has a pet jaguar that is her friend (because who doesn't want a sick-ass animal familiar??)

I then proceeded to be one of the scariest looking kids at that party and won a prize for best costume
