- "I am Larmica, daughter of Count Magnus Lee, the ruler of the entire Ransylva district of the Frontier. Do you think I can be bested by the likes of you and your sword?"
- ―Larmica Lee.[src]
Larmica Lee (ラミカ リィ) is a Greater Noble, who is from the prestigious pure blood line of the Lee house, the daughter of the Greater Noble Count Magnus Lee. She makes her appearance in Vampire Hunter D's Volume 1.
In the 1985's OVA her name was changed to Countess Lamika Lee (Ramika Lee), she is a young dhampir girl of the same family, intended to prevent her father from marrying a human woman.
Appearance[]
- "If Doris was the embodiment of a sunflower, then this woman could only be likened to a moonflower."
- ―Narrator[src]
In the novel, Larmica has described as beautiful pale-skinned Noble woman with lapis-lazuli eyes and dazzling golden hair which looked like it would creep along the ground behind her. She wears a dress of medieval styling, she often wears a medieval snow-white dress which was bound tight at her waist, spreading in bountiful curves reaching to the ground. Her beauty has been compared with moonflower, unique to the Noble that made the young lady seem an unearthly illusion or even sparkling as a dream. She had beckoning lips red as blood with pearly fangs poking from the corners of her mouth. When D came into Lee's castle, she wore a fluttering the train of a deep blue dress. Also in her last moments, she wears a black dress. Larmica’s breath had the scent of flowers nourished with blood. While her laugh sounds like a silver bell.
In the movie, Larmica's appearance has changed. Lamika is a pale-skinned dhampir girl with bright blue eyes and long dark blue-green braided hair. She wears a white-light purple costume without upper sleeves and one leg. Wear white ankle gloves, a black robe and gold jewelry.
Personality[]
The daughter of Count Magnus Lee, Larmica holds great pride in her lineage as one of the Nobility. She is a vampire elitist, disapproving her father’s practice of taking mere humans as brides. This a common feeling shared in the Nobility. Though her movie version shares the same views as her Novel counterpart, her being a Dhampir would be contradictory to the thoughts of being Pure Blood. When she finds out she is not this feeling is expressed in self hatred and lashing out at her Father refusing to accept it.
Lamina has been haunted by the secret of its origins, never having known her mother and feeling very distant toward her father. Obsessed with the ideal of nobility and purity linked to vampire blood, Ramika will not tolerate a non-vampire to destroy the nature of her lineage.
Biography[]
Powers and Abilities[]
Larmica is a Greater Noble and as such has many strengths well beyond common vampires. Her pure blood line is one of the most prestigious in the Nobility and has inherited knowledge and secrets privy to it.
Immortality-This power is common to most of the Nobility (Vampires). Larmica is over 3,000 and she hasn't aged
Intelligence-Larmica has shown that it is quite certain aspects of intelligence. It will show a lot of knowledge of the history of the Nobility or even easy recognition dhampir [1]. It is also one of the few persons who found some kind of connection between the D and Sacred Ancestor, as well who conclude the D's true identity as his son.
Kiss of Nobility
Telekinesis
Flight- She floats and hovers several times indicating she may easily fly but refrains from doing. Most likely due to the flight being so taboo in the Nobility she refrains from using it all the time. She may do this through her telekinesis.
In the movie she being a dhampir should have been able to walk in the daylight, but this is never discussed in the movie. She also should have been given immunity to many vampire weaknesses which is common to dhampirs.
Weaknesses[]
Like most Greater Nobility, she has resistance to most vampire weaknesses in comparison to common vampires.
Sunlight- when Greco stole Time-Bewitching Incense and used on her. It was almost as if the night that had just begun had suddenly become midday, and a weird sensation shot through every inch of Larmica’s body. All her nerves were being pulled out and burned off, each and every cell was decaying with incredible speed. Black ichor squirted out through holes in her melting flesh, and she felt her intestines twist with the urge to vomit, as if the entire contents of her stomach had started to flow in reverse. But even as she was subjected to the agony of her body burning in the midday sun, she showed incredible willpower to survive.
Sign of the Cross- When she tried to bite Doris, in the dark she’d felt it. Felt the pain of the same holy mark of the cross her father had seen on the girl’s neck two days earlier. It would make its sudden appearance only when the breath of a vampire fell on it.
In the movie Vampire Hunter D (1985 OVA) as a Dhampir she had been able to be immune to most vampire weaknesses but she does not display this ability. It leaves the truth of her lineage in doubt.

Quotes[]
- (To D) "Be you some manner of bodyguard? Hiring a knave like you for protection is just the sort of thing a lowly human wretch would do. Having heard from Father that the girl who lives here on not only beauty unrivaled by the humans in these parts, but that her blood is equally delectable, I came to see her for myself. But as I expected all along, there is no great difference between these foolish, annoying little pests."[1]
- (To D about humans) "You lowly worms have forgotten your station, his mien seemed to say. Turncoat scum you are, forgetting the debt you owe your former masters, rebelling against them with your devious little minds and weapons. Here's where you learn the error of you ways."[1]
- (To Doris) "We are the Nobility—the ruling class. The rulers are entitled to take such measures to ensure the rebellious feelings of the lower class are kept in check. You should consider yourself lucky we even allowed your race to continue."[1]
- (To D) "To the contrary, the man is to be lauded. Is it not appropriate to sacrifice others to satisfy our own desires? The strong rule the weak, and the superior leave the inferior in the dust—that is the great principle that governs the cosmos. There are many among you who seem to share our point of view."[1]
- (To Doris) "He died ... but he defended you right to the very end. It would sadden him to see you fall into Father's hands. I have no desire to cause the dead any more sorrow.."[1]
- (Larmica's last words) "Kindly allow me to ask one thing—your name. D ... Is that D, as in Dracula?"[1]
