Character from The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher
Harry's ex-girlfriend — an investigative journalist half-turned into a Red Court vampire who spent years fighting them as a Fellowship agent before sacrificing herself to complete the bloodline curse that destroyed the entire Red Court.
Susan Rodriguez was a reporter for the Arcane, a tabloid covering supernatural events, when she met Harry Dresden and fell hard into his world. She was smart, brave, curious, and completely unprepared for what that curiosity would cost her. At Bianca's masquerade ball, the Red Court half-turned her — infected her with their vampiric hunger without completing the transformation. She became something caught between human and monster, fighting every day to control the bloodlust that threatened to consume her. She left Chicago. Left Harry. Joined the Fellowship of St. Giles, an organization of half-turned vampires fighting back against the Red Court. She became a warrior — leaner, harder, more dangerous than the woman Harry had loved. She also kept a secret: their daughter, Maggie, conceived before the turning. When the Red Court took Maggie to use as a sacrifice, Susan came back. In the end, she made the choice that defined her — she asked Harry to use the bloodline curse on her, completing her transformation and then killing her, channeling the curse through the Red King's bloodline and destroying every Red Court vampire in existence. She saved Maggie. She saved the world. It cost her everything.
Latina woman with dark hair, dark eyes, and a reporter's sharp attention. After her half-turning by the Red Court, her eyes occasionally flash with inhuman darkness and her movements carry predatory grace she fights to suppress.
