The Lord of Innistrad's Rival
Okay, so, with the recent changes in the multiverse, it appears there is a new Lord of Innistrad. Or should I say Lady of Innistrad: Olivia Voldaren.
It's pretty simple. For this contest, you have to make Olivia's new rival. Everyone knows that before, Sorin was number 1 and Olivia was number 2. So, who is number 2 now? That's for you to decide.
Criteria:
1. It's got to be a vampire. I understand that there are other species on innistrad, however, the top notch vampires are the most ruthless, and usually the most powerful.
2. Balanced. I don't really want to see vampires that could sweep through olivia in a single swing. Olivia is the most powerful vampire on Innistrad now, so this rival cannot just show up and destroy her easily; this one's just got to give her a little run.
3. Try to stay true to the Innistrad Red-black vampire code. Basically, no blue or green vampires, and very little white (cause Sorin was white, so it's not all that bad).
Also, I'm considering expanding this. If enough people want, I'll run two contests from this thread, one for the rival and one to make the new Olivia, but that's up to you guys.
Prizes:
1st: 5 favorites of your choice
2nd: 3 favorites of your choice
3rd: 2 favorites of your choice
Honorable mentions: 1 favorite of my choice
Good luck, and don't forget to have fun!!!!! Now lets see some vampire diplomacy!

Hope you like it!
I'd let you do a B/U but not a B/G. The problem is vampires are not inherently blue/green creatures and for Innistrad, vampires are generally (basically always) as black/red, although there are very few exceptions. I don't have anything against a B/G vampire, or a B/U vampire, as both seem very creative ideas, however since this is a contest based off of innistrad and innistrad vampires are generally black and/or red, I'm looking for it to represent that. Flavorfully, I just doesn't add up because all of the important Innistrad bloodlines are b/r even though Sorin was B/W, they're mainly B/R. It would be like having a cat warrior from like Alara or Mirrodin (generally white I'm pretty sure) and trying to make one black/green. Though there's nothing bad with it, it just doesn't suit that plane. Black/green cats are generally associated with the Rakshasa of Tarkir
The only reason I'll let you do B/U is because there is at least 1 vampire from innistrad who has blue in addition to black and red, and that's Jeleva.

Emrakul's corruption
The Falkenrath bloodline was the most affected bloodline by Emrakul's corruption. Already feral and monstrous before the Eldrazi's arrival, the corruption changed them into batlike monsters, sometimes barely resembling humans at all. The vampires themselves atttributed the transformation to the a plague called the 'Boiling Blood', driving them to solitary lives stalking the passes of Geier Reach. While most have become solitary predators, a particulary old scion of the family named Anje Falkenrath has gathered a hunting pack of her kin. Anje has a goal beyond feeding: she wants to reclaim Castle Falkenrath from the monks who live there.
She's Olivia's murderous daughter, and she's going through an adolescent phase of some sort. Mostly, she wants to kill her mother.
