Female Vampire Factor: The show revolves around a young girl named Carnie played by Kaileen Chang.

Despite the title she is only a half vampire and seemingly has all the positives (flying, super strength, super speed) and none of the negatives (bloodlust) so basically, she's a superhero which ends up being a plot device as in season 2 her friend ends up becoming a successful comic book writer by creating a vampire comic book character based around her
The only other vampire in the series is the Shapeshifter played by Charlotte Legault. (SPOILERS AHEAD)
In the shows first season she is the big bad of the show. Clearly with me mentioning she's the only other vampire on it you can put two and two together in that she ends up being revealed as Carnie's birth mother. There is a further twist that really doesn't make much sense in season 2 but I won't totally ruin the show here.
Clarification: So the show only has two seasons as of this writing and it doesn't seem likely a third will happen. Season 1 revolves around Carnie getting the hang of her powers while avoiding a hunter and also trying to go out for the school play which ironically is also a vampire story.
By that seasons end it all kind of works out, she ends up befriending the hunter once he realizes he's been working for the bad guys the whole time and she finds out her newest friend also has a secret in that she's a werewolf so she has kind of a crew she can be her vampire self around.

Season 2 Carnie starts high school and that's when her backstory opens up and she finally meets the shape shifter face to face.
The show starts very slow coming off as a cutesy kid show before the good stuff happens and it does actually get good from a TVG standard. I won't say season 1 is skippable but the vampire plot at times takes a back seat to stuff like the school play.
The shows second season takes a much more dramatic turn as she then deals with high school, her hormones, her wanting to date, her and her friends drifting apart because of it and of course her search for her birth mother due to her beginning to want to separate herself from humanity including her adopted family.

Overall, I give the show a Vampire Beauty Rating 4 out of 5. If you have a kid, this is one of those shows you won't actually be totally bored watching with them and if you don't have a kid season 2 is actually functional as a decent teen drama.
