Not a "ballerina"

The character is a girl about fourteen years old. She may be a ballet student, even an advanced one, but she's not likely to even be a professional dancer yet, let alone a ballerina. The term ballerina refers to the elite female superstars of the ballet. Most female ballet dancers are not ballerinas, and no little girls are.

Yes, I am the ballet police.

No, foolish mortal, she is not a true ballerina. She is really not even a dancer. She is something far worse.

She's certainly not a prima ballerina (principal dancer).
But she's a ballerina (dancer).

The "elite female superstars of the ballet" (OP) are prima ballerinas. 🩰

So ... that's what you think? Ha ha ha!
Dancing is the least important thing she does. Her most important pastime is "withdrawing". That's a "bloody" joke!

That was not what THIS thread/OP was about.
But if it makes you feel better, call her a vampire ballerina.

Well she's had 2 centuries to practice - so maybe she's good enough.
