In the story The Gilda stories, it is very interesting to learn about the main character Gilda. She is a vampire unlike any others we are used too. First off she is a woman and African American. As a young girl she was a slave on a plantation. Ironically when she was young she was being attacked by a man and ended up killing him. In contrast as a vampire she was taught not to kill but to help others. Again this is very different from our idea of vampires who thirst for humans blood and do not care whether they live or die.
Gilda has had a long journey already and still has many years ahead of her. She is still learning a lot about her kind now that she has moved with Sorel and his family. Gilda has come to know the good and bad side of vampires and is till trying to find out who she is. Hopefully she will continue to follow the beliefs of Bird and the first Gilda and not follow Eleanor who has been nothing but trouble since they met.
