There is something so delicious about the fact that Drolta chose vampirism- claimed it with her own two hands. Skewered the vampire that attacked her and drank his blood instead.
Drolta flips so many scripts- she's Erzsebet's lieutenant but Drolta is the one with all the power in their relationship and the mastermind of their scheme. She is Sekhmet's high priestess but it's Drolta that cares more for the faithful and struggles to bring salvation to the flock while Sekhmet seems unwilling or unable to intercede. She becomes a Nightcreature and in her first breath rejects the idea that her creator can control her.
Is it any surprise that the moment she realizes Erzsebet isn't invincible, isn't powerful enough to withstand the heroes, she flips the script again and claims Erzsebet's divinity for herself?
Deep down Drolta is still that woman who when being kind, being gentle, being a healer, being human, wasn't enough to save herself or her people, killed those parts of herself and never looked back.
