Blood Libido

A Blood Libido is a certain personality quirk possessed by each of the Blood Maidens, including Jack. A Blood Maiden's Blood Libido can affect a Blood Maiden negatively and can sometimes cause problems in social situations.

Each of the Blood Maiden's Blood Libidos are references to their character in the story each of them originates from.

Affected Characters

• Jack: Has an urge to climb up high places (generally in reference to the Jail Tower, but it may also happen with other large buildings).
• Alice: Interested in tea sets, holding tea parties, and seeks meaning in dreams. Lacks tolerance for illogical actions and "nonsensical" conversations and developments.
• Red Riding Hood: Attached to the hoodie she wears and headwear in general. Any rips and damage to the hoodie can compromise her regular mask of confidence, and a lack of any head covering causes her great anxiety.
• Snow White: Becomes uneasy whenever she looks in a mirror and around them, and is also generally concerned with her physical appearance.
• Sleeping Beauty: Sleeps a lot, even in the most improbable places. Desires to find her "prince".

This can also happen if Cinderella happens to lose one of her glass slipper earrings, or anything else she regularly wears.
• Rapunzel: Has a fixation on her hair, any perceived threat of it being cut can send her into tearful blubbering. She also has a strong desire to reproduce and have children, though she lacks understanding of what the act entails.
• Gretel: Gretel enjoys candy and sweet things greatly, she eats them often and will sometimes pressure others into providing her with them.
• Hameln: Mildly obsessive-compulsive in relation to marching and orderliness. Seeing the party in a formation other than a straight orderly line unnerves her.
• Otsuu: Has a complex regarding owing people and repaying debts. She is also skilled in weaving, and is able to fabricate clothing and other accessories.
• Little Mermaid: Little Mermaid enjoys singing, though it can sometimes cause her embarrassment. If she is unable to sing for whatever reason, she goes into a panic. Little Mermaid also has an attachment to her "prince" (Otsuu) and their love for one another.
• Mary: Mary enjoys daydreaming, often utilizing her special matches to visualize those daydreams despite understanding the potential applications of the matches, and an insistence by Charlotte to conserve them.
• Charlotte: Charlotte treats Alice like a sister and dotes on her greatly. She also becomes lightly jealous when she interacts with Jack and displays her affection for him.
