attraction label : mordant attraction

from the french word "mordre", meaning "bite", this is a specific type of bond between a vampire and someone they turned into a vampire. it can't be explained as exclusively sexual, platonic, romantic, familial, or any other traditional type of attraction. you would say you "feel mordant" towards someone.

mordeur/mordeuse are, respectively, the masculine and feminine form of "biter", meaning the vampire who turned the other. example: "my mordeuse saved my life when they turned me into a vampire."

mordu/mordue are, respectively, the masculine and feminine form of "bitten", meaning the vampire who was turned by the other. example: "my mordu is my greatest creation, and i love him more than anything."

this was made for a vampire alter in our system but anyone who identifies with vampirism can use this term!
