β ABILITIES
β VAMPIRE. Turned by Dracula, Mina's eye turn red when using her vampire powers, is able to grow claws and fangs, she requires (and craves) the consumption of blood and her hair turns wilder with the use of her abilities. Being a vampire means that Mina is immortal, able to be killed by only particular means (decapitation, stake to the heart), unaging and immune to illness and disease otherwise, able to heal from any injury she takes (quicker if she consumes blood). She is also able to turn others into vampire should she chose to (though Mina is strongly against this). β SUPERHUMAN SENSES. Mina possesses greater speed, reflexes, strength and stamina than a human would, her strength said to be comparable to Dracula's himself despite how newly turned she is. Whilst Mina typically poses as a human, her enhanced physiology aids her in combat or in a lack of need to sleep. She also has much more acute hearing, sight and smell, particularly where blood is concerned, able to hear heartbeats, smell blood that is nearby and see a little sharper (and in the dark). β FLIGHT. Mina is able to shapeshift herself into a cloud of bats to fly (and swarm attack) or can use her enhanced abilities to 'swoop' and appear to fly in her human form, jumping high and between buildings as if she is flying. β COMBAT. Whilst not formally trained, Mina is skilled enough with either her claws or a blade (aided by her enhanced senses) to be able to hold her own in a fight. Whilst she is strong and has good reflexes she can be bested in skill. β SCIENCE. After being turned, Mina turned to science, studying chemistry and biology to better understand her condition. In a short few years Mina has become a competent chemist, known for her talents, whilst also possessing basic first aid and anatomical knowledge.
β WEAKNESSES. Despite the typically expected "sunlight burns", Mina's shown to be capable of walking around in the daylight without any noticeable effects of it. It's likely that it weakens her, her powers being stronger at night, but has no otherwise ill effects. Wooden stakes to the heart are the way to kill her, likely also decapitation. In Dracula, sacramental bread and garlic were stated to have an effect, with Mina having been burned by sacramental bread. Holy water likely also burns.
β NOTES
β The Dracula novel exists and was likely penned by Van Helsing as a cautionary tale of what had happened, even if no one actually believes it β Mina is likely the one who killed Jonathan when she lacked control β She became a chemist in search of a cure or aid to her blood-thirst, reclusing into a widow's shadows and leaving the life of a schoolmistress behind
