Anita Blake series characters43 of 75
===Monica Vespucci===
Vespucci is a lawyer at Anita's friend Catherine's law firm, and a vampire aficionado. She is one of the bridesmaids at Catherine's wedding. In ''Guilty Pleasures'', Vespucci is part of the plot to blackmail Anita into solving a series of vampire murders. Her part was to lure Catherine there so Valentina could bite her and use her as a hostage if Anita refused to co-operate. Later, Vespucci marries Robert. After Robert is killed, Jean Claude promises that Monica and their child would "want for nothing." Anita has never forgiven her for betraying a friend (Catherine) to the vampires but is staying her hand for the child's sake as long as Monica behaves herself. Monica hates Anita for having everything from the vampires she desires for herself, along with not sharing her view of vampires being higher beings than humans (thus rationalizing away any guilt she felt for what she did to Catherine,) but won't do anything as it would extremely upset the master of the vampires (Jean Claude.) The child seems to be growing normally so far but gives Anita the willies for some reason, mainly when he acts in an odd way. Whether he is a typical dhampir or a human with vampire traits is unknown so far. Partly because its extremely rare for vampires to sire and successfully raise children, (it's suspected that Robert was able to sire a child despite being over a hundred years old due to frequent use of a hot tub livening up his sperm.)
