Characters of penny dreadful.

In order to fit Claudia and Quentin successfully into this T.V series I thought it may be helpful to look at some of the characters themselves.
Numerous individuals are acquainted with excellent literary characters like Dr. Frankenstein and Dorian Gray. "Penny Dreadful" brings those and different characters into another light by investigating their cause stories in this mental thriller that happens in Victorian London. Sir Malcolm is a explorer who has lost his little girl to the city's mythical monsters, and he will do whatever is expected to recover. His associate, enchanting  and perceptive Vanessa Ives, volunteers beguiling American Ethan Chandler to help find Sir Malcolm's little girl and kill some creatures along the way. 

Vanessa Ives 

she seems the most appropriate character to start with 

"To be beautiful is to be almost dead, isn't it?"- Vanessa Ives 

What can I say she is a bad as$ b*tch. The woman is based on a literary character as well and the composed, poised, sexual, beautiful character she is on paper has been excellently executed on screen as well.
