Fan Casting Vain Sorcerer(Vain Sorceress)

Description of Vain Sorcerer (Vain Sorceress):

As villains tend to be defined by their vices, it's only natural then, that many villainesses and more than a few villains would gravitate towards vanity. Until the 19th century, this had been predominantly a female trope, which is no longer true: one of the most famous examples set in relatively modern times is a male; Dorian Gray from Oscar Wilde's novel. Whereas the female variant is usually a witch using magic to keep herself young and beautiful (human sacrifices optional), the male variant is often a sexy, bloodsucking ''bad boy'' vampire as first made famous with Lord Ruthven in "The Vampyre", which pioneered the male vampire as the Spear Counterpart to the Vain Sorceress.
