Corbin :: Supporting Characters II

So I've identified two of the protagonists:

Corbin: a sophisticated British scholar. Average height, wiry build, shaggy red hair and green eyes. He quite the skeptic and truly believes that science will answer every mystery: even supernatural ones. As a child he had an encounter with a vampire and it has made him mildly in tune with occult phenomena. Logically minded, he assess each problem at hand with lightning fast mental acrobatics.

Noe: a practical, hard as nails Irish dock worker and ex-thug. Devout Catholic with an extensive knowledge of Saints and Angels. Down to earth and good with the lower class. Protective of Corbin despite their conflicting views on the supernatural. An ex-boxer, he excels at physical feats of strength and endurance.


And now a third character to round them out.

Klara: a wealthy socialite and occultist. She is clever, sharp witted, pretty but eccentric. Very receptive to psychic phenomena and "echoes", she can more easily grasp the dark corners of the earth.

Klara was raised by her Uncle, a professor of anthropology and ancient cultural myths and legends. She meets the protagonists in Part I - having inherited an estate in a small town, she's requests Corbin's aid in seeking out a vampire.

I would like her to be darkly beautiful and sort of mysterious. She will NOT be a love interest to any of the other protagonists, despite her pretty, femme fatale appearance and personality.

Here are some visual inspirations for this character (yeah she's probably going to be a prolific smoker). Please ignore the modern trappings (tattoos, hairstyles etc...).
