They must be more strange than they are depicted as already. The past is a foreign country as they say. I remember seeing a video of an English woman being interviewed in the 70s when she was 100+ years old, she being born in the previous 70s, and just her way of speaking and the way she framed things was already beginning to seem alien, now exaggerate this by, say, 500 years, 1,000 years, and you can quickly end up with a person who doesn't think at all in the way we do. As far as I see, most vampires are depicted in Victorian dress, and that was only 130 years ago. Most people are hopelessly stuck in their ways, vampires rarely reflect this in a believable way. People were also a lot more religious in the past, though for anime you could make the excuse that they are Japanese, but otherwise this is rarely reflected. Women in particular would more be more dimorphic or seperate from male culture and thinking, they sometimes try that but it never works out. They will show some thinking and then their behavior won't match it, there's this constant clashing of modern writer and old character, and most writers aren't even smart enough or historically educated enough to do it right.
