Strengths/Abilities
Vampiric Strength and Speed: Griselda, as per being a vampire, has superhuman amounts of strength and agility. Durable, heavy-lifting. Incredible feats of bodily movement. That being said, she doesn't possess anything near the capacity to suplex a mountain, but it is definitely not a feat the average human could achieve.
Trained Swordfighter: Most might see the art swordsmanship a thing of old, not useful in the cities of today. As a hobby and form of self discipline however Griselda was taught how to wield it. Coupled with her monster traits, it isn't such a bad thing to know. She doesn't often carry around a sword in the city for practical reasons. Having something set on mind or being somewhere she'd call 'home' would be when she usually kept it close.
Eye of Determination: Half natural perseverance, half vampire-given nature. Her human soul has been touched, its natural determination diminishing. However, her supernatural heterochromic red eye when unveiled can spark that hidden determination locked away by her monster side. She can be very determined, much so for a hybrid. She can show her eye without this effect.
Inabilities/Weaknesses
Eye of Determination: Obviously showing the red eye can have societal consequences as she looks very human without that (so long as she doesn't bare fangs and flaunt her strength and speed). The determination that fuels her can also become too much for her partly monster body to handle completely. There is always the possibility of mental repercussions as well as physical ones should she remain in the state for too long. Such things can include lose of consciousness, trauma, headaches, lose of sanity, sore muscles, temporary lose of motor functions, and eventual soul-death.
Vampiric Thirst: How else to fuel the strength of being a vampire? As a consequence to the infectious hybridization process, the vampire is required to feed almost bi-daily to keep up normal bodily functions. Normal foods only provide functions for their insides, as it does in normal humans. One substance and one only is what quenches this - Human Blood. Griselda had been fed by her own father for most of her life, donations being taken from himself. With college in the way though, this function will become harder to service.
Neglect of feeding after a few days (usually three) without at least several pints of blood often times put a toll on the said vampire. First comes the craving, the primal hunger that triggers. Griselda herself will feel more willing to go after unwilling humans out of instinct. A little before a week ends their bodies begin to become stiff and frail. A good dozen days after the last feeding, their skin and body will start degrading into this decrepit and wicked mongrel of a person. By then, their cravings would become so great that suicidal attempts to feed would feel like a good idea.
Sunlight: No, they don't turn to dust. No, they don't sparkle either. Rather, they will feel physically weaker under the radioactive heat from the sun. The brighter it shines, the hotter it is, and the longer the exposure, the worse the effect. Severe results of staying out in the sunlight for too long can be anything between dangerously flaking skin (almost literally burned off), agonizing pain, temporary blinding, and eventual yet less-than-dramatic turning to dust.
Personality
Griselda has reasons to be reserved socially. She has had to repress feeling and contact with a lot of people due to her given circumstances as a turned vampire. Overall, she can seem cold and distant. That doesn't necessitate that she is a selfish or mean individual by any means, she typically just does what she has to in order to get by. She likes a good few jokes, though she wouldn't dare show it.
The vampire does have a drive to do good in what she does. Straight A kid with excellent attendance, self-disciplined now in self defense and sword art, a good, quality "schedule" that revolves around her feeding. She has to be organized, and do well, or she sees it as a failure.
