I also have always thought she ends up the Mysterious Woman somehow hmmmm it’s a hard headcanon to incorporate without just pulling a Dracula X chronicles and oh no she’s a vampire aaaaa but that’s been done 💀 I am also aware that not everything you write has to be 100% completely new and original and perfect but aaaaaaa
