Merrick and other Anne Rice female characters?

can anyone tell me a bit about the female characters from Anne Rice's novels?


I am trying to name my 9 week old kitten (gray short hair tabby) and I've always loved The Vampire Chronicles. I haven't read all the books she's written but can anyone tell me about the different females? My kitten is all claws and teeth and is super cute and loving too...

Merrick and other Anne Rice female characters?
I love The Vampire Chronicles. Well, my fave would have to be Pandora. If I had a long haired Orange cat I would name her that, though she is of Roman Descent, she probably had brownish hair. Then, there is Akasha, the mother of all Vampires, very powerful and is borderline evil. Then there are the twins, Makare and Maharet, very wise creatures. Gabrielle is Lestat's mother. Those are the main, important female Vampire characters. There is also Bianca, who was a love interest to Armand, though she was never turned into a vampire, still a nice name. Good luck in naming the kitty!





Oh! I almost forgot Claudia, Lestat and Louis little charge. If you have a feisty kitty with a wicked (but cute) personality, that is the perfect name (if you wanna pick from the Chronicles.)
Reply:Akasha- Queen and Mother of all vampires, first vampire ever made, she is pure evil, former queen of Kemet, power hungry, nihilistic, dark, evil, and has a thing for bossing people around; especially the men. She is actually now a former queen of the damned.





Maharet- A witch sister girl who is one of the ancient vampires; also known as a Child of the Millennium, redhead and she is blind. Her eyes were taken from her by Akasha and she became a blind vampire after being turned by her twin sister Mekare. Maharet's sister Mekare is was one the base reasons why vampires were created. Maharet is quiet, compassionate; and she is the only ancient vampiress with an heiress.





Mekare- Mekare is Maharet's twin sister. She is mute, her tongue was taken by Akasha because she was a witch, as was her sister Maharet's eyes. Mekare is more of the wild one; she is the one who provoked the spirit Amel to come to the earthly plane and torture Akasha and her husband Enkil for imprisoning them because they were witches. Amel gets very pissed; goes crazy, kills Akasha and Enkil; then ultimately inhabits Akasha's body turning her into the first vampire. Mekare; a couple of thousand years later returns; mute; and eats Akasha's heart and brain; killing her once and for all. She then becomes the new queen of the damned, since she inhabits the ancient organs of the first one





Pandora- Pandora is only a few years older than Jesus Christ himself; born in the Roman Republic as Lydia, turned by the vampire Marius de Romanus who was born thirty years Before Christ. Pandora falls in love with Marius; and together they take care of Akasha and Enkil's bodies. Pandora is the quiet, loathing, depressed, yet an understanding vampiress. She ultimately accepts her invitation for death by Akasha; though she does not die. Pandora has a small lift with religion; and after Lestat comes back from seeing Jesus, hell, and heaven; she regrets not being there during the crucifixion since she was right around since her father was part of the Roman Senate. She wants to be a devoted Christian; and hopes to see what Lestat saw in Jesus, heaven, hell; and believe that three is a God and that a vampire’s soul can be redeemed.





Claudia- Claudia is the child doomed vampiress; turned when she was six years old by Lestat while dying in a hospital. Claudia is not her real name. Claudia is spoiled, ruthless, rude, and ultimately dark; though she does love and only her father. She is VERY stubborn; and will do absolutely anything to get what she wants; eventually leading her to her death at the end.





Bianca Solderini- Bianca is a beautiful, headstrong, young woman born in the 18th century. She became the attraction to two different vampires; Armand and Marius. She was turned into a vampiress my Marius after he was brutally attacked by the crazy satanic vampire named Santino who also kidnapped poor Armand. Bianca and Marius took care of Akasha and Enkil's body; after Pandora had left Marius. Bianca’s end is not clearly explained; and her last appearance was in Queen of the Damned.





Jessica Miriam Reeves (Jesse)- She is the heiress of Maharet and Khayman. She is soft, quiet, a little over thirty five, red haired; psychic before she was a vampire, and very caring. She is also a little nosy and very curious. She was part of the Talmasca, a union whom I call the "vampire killers because they're jealous," before she was turned by her ancestor Maharet after breaking her neck.





Merrick Mayfair- Merrick Mayfair is a seductive, manipulative, yet strong and caring witch who ached to be a vampire after being in the Talmasca and witnessing the understanding the vampire cult. She wanted to become one; so she put a spell on the former lover of Lestat, Louis; and seduced him into turning her into a vampire/witch. She's nice, but she can be quite seductive even when she doesn't want to be. She attracted dearest David Talbot too. Merrick died while saving another fellow vampire named Quinn, but went to heaven because of her good actions towards the helpless Tarquin Blackwood.





Rowan Mayfair- Rowan makes an appearance in two of the Vampire Chronicles; she is the head mother witch of the powerful Mayfair witches. She is "slightly" insane, because she is manipulative and does things other really don't want to do which are morally and ethically wrong, a "little" evil because she killed her own daughter, and the last lover of Lestat de Lioncourt. Well, last lover because the book series ended; but I'm sticking with Lestat/Louis forever mantra.





Mona Mayfair- Also known as the "wander slut." Mona also appears in only two Vampire Chronicles books. She is sexually adventurous, seductive, hungry, horny, a Mayfair witch, and was turned a vampire by Lestat when she was close to death by an unknown illness. Mona can carry a baby; and that baby will be a Taltos; a super human baby.








The end product; Maharet, Jesse, or Pandora would be great names for your cat.








Hope I helped :)
