"Blood drinking monsters, who disguise themselves as Human - VAMPIRES"
Vampire Knight has presently become a great interest just like Naruto (LOL...). However before I start off with the latest here's something to at least give readers a head-start background check (in case you wish to either watch the anime or read the manga).
Cross Academy is the first setting. Yuuki Cross is the adopted daughter of the chairman of the said school. She is also a prefect together with zero Kiryuuki. However their role as perfects is a disguise to their roles as guardians.
Background check on Cross academy: the school has two sections, the day class and the night class. It is the guardians' duty to secure that the secret of the night class are not known to the day class in as much as the night class would not cause any trouble. The secret they must protect is that the night class is composed of vampires (in the eyes of the day class the night class are a group of elite students).
The night class is led by Kaname Kuran. Among all the vampires he is seen as to have a special attachment to Yuuki which even the vampire world seems to wonder why. In the manga Yuuki was referred to as Kaname-sama's precious one. For Yuuki the reason behind such treatment can be traced back ten years ago.
Kaname had once saved yuuki from an evil vampire. From then on all Yuuki can remember is that Kaname was that good vampire who had saved her and then there was nothing more than that. She can’t remember who she was or where she came from. It was due to her lost of memory that she did her own background search on her past which seems to be held back by some force.
Zero is another adopted child by chairman cross. He came from the long line of vampire hunters, however when his parents were killed by a pureblood, with him surviving the attack, he had then changed. He was once cheerful and kind but after the incident he had grown quiet and cold. He had hated purebloods more.
Vampires are composed of three categories: the ex-human or “Level E” who are bitten and turned into vampires (eventually they will lose their sense of placement and become beasts in their own); the nobles; and the purebloods (who have special ability and are considered as the ruling class). Kaname is a pureblood decent. after Zero's home was attacked by a pureblood, Zero is presently an ex-human type of vampire.
There are many exciting stuff to know more on vampire hunter but I guess it's best to leave this a bit hanging. We don't want to ruin the reader's thirst--I mean hunger--err, interest in getting their eyes set on vampire knight. It’s up to you guys to do your own background search on characters.
