Carmilla again!! =D I have submit her image long times ago, but not wallpaper.
I hope you still like her. ;p

Carmilla is a novella by Joseph Sheridan le Fanu. First published 1872, it tells the story of a young woman's contact with a vampire. Carmilla predates Bram Stoker's Dracula by over twenty years and had a strong influence on Stoker's famous novel. However, Carmilla was not the first vampire novel — the considerably older The Vampyre by John William Polidori probably holds that title.

Carmilla is the original prototype for a legion of female (and often lesbian) vampires. Though Le Fanu portrays his vampire's sexuality with the circumspection that one would expect for his time, the reader can be pretty sure that lesbian attraction is the main dynamic between Carmilla and the narrator of the story. Carmilla selected exclusively female victims, though only became emotionally involved with a few. Carmilla had nocturnal habits, but was not confined to the darkness. She had unearthly beauty and was able to change her form and to pass through solid walls. Her animal alter ego was a monstrous black cat, not a bat as in Dracula. She did, however, sleep in a coffin.
