Courtesan

Courtesan were women with which the Men of the Court had a relationship but were not married to. A similar term is concubine, though it has a slightly different meaning. Courtesan were well-educated and independent woman who attends the court, a trained artist or artisan of dance and singing, especially one associated with wealthy, powerful, or upper-class society who was given luxuries and status in exchange for entertainment and companionship.

However when the Crimson Curse took root in the Courtyard, those entangled with a web of adulterous relationships and affairs, the blood curse jumped from host to host in the heat of passion. Courtesans, once most loveliest maidens within the Court with their beautiful faces and youthful appearances have become bloodthirsty and twisted parodies of themselves. They while still maintain some shamble of their humanity it only takes smell of a single drop of blood to send them into a blood graving frenzy. And as the bloodlust takes hold they will undergo a hideous metamorphous showing the true monster that is hidden underneath the thin veneer of sophistication.
