I might go Drow Female, since you’ve left the option open. If I go that route, by what I’ve read about them not being viewed as equals, I assume in the Male dominated city she may be viewed as lesser? I’m not deep into knowledge of drow lore, but there’s plenty of available info I can mull over.
I’m still learning about drow lore myself, but from what I read, there are some drow male-run societies that do think of fremale drow lesser. Most of the time it’s the opposite where the women are in charge and they see men as lesser beings. And I shall put you on the list! Take as much time as you need to get the ca made. :D

Miro-Chan-chan I will shamelessly promote it in Discord and see if we can pick up a few spares. I really prefer group stuff to 1x1 but it's hard to get off the ground, so I'd be willing to go 1x1 and maybe leave it open for others to jump in when they can.
Thank yooou!!

Prologue
Miz’ri Ousstyl was born in the district of Narbondellyn to house Ousstyl. The Ousstyl house remains both wealthy and powerful, yet to this day they are remembered for their unsavory practice of mating with humans; even though such appalling acts have long since become history along with the existence of humanity. In her youth, Miz’ri hated this disgusting blight on her house and was quick to dismiss the allegations; however sometimes the deeds of the past may transcend the time in which they were committed.
It wasn’t until after Miz’ri had budded into a lady that the unthinkable occurred. While gazing in the mirror, brushing her silken hair and admiring her flawless unmatched beauty, she felt….content? It was impossible, right? She had too many desires and ambitions to feel such weakness. If that wasn’t bad enough, where were her eyes!? Those bright red gems that so perfectly accentuated her obsidian glazed skin, now faded into a repulsive shade of green. GREEN! It was like gazing into filthy stagnant pools of bog water.
So it was all true, and somehow a filthy halfblood from days long past had managed to infiltrate the Ousstyl house and taint the bloodline. Miz’ri knew all too well what this meant for her should anyone find out, but the situation was far from hopeless. She would not dare give in to weakness, to live out her days as some pitiful slave or be led to slaughter.
A shattered vanity, a toppled armoire covered in shredded remnants of fine clothing, bloodied sheets strewn across the corpse of a servant girl, her eyes plucked from her skull. Miz’ri Ousstyl was nowhere to be found and never seen or heard from again.
Bio
Briza entered the military at a young age, her proficiency in shadow magic quickly separating her from the ranks. It was hard to believe she had come from common birth. She eventually climbed so high as to begin training as an assassin, however she never joined any of the prominent guilds within the Underdark. Due to certain…circumstances… Briza deserted her station and escaped the Underdark for the surface portion of the city of Levesari.
Attempts have been made to capture Briza, without success. She resides now in an unknown location, fulfilling her wants and desires as a mercenary and thief. Briza takes what she wants and kills if the price is sufficient for someone of her unrivaled talent. She is particularly fond of gems and jewelry, indulging in items of exquisite luxury and value.
Among her amassed riches there is one collection she is most proud of. Sitting atop a jeweled pedestal, perfectly preserved in a large enchanted urn of clearest crystal, rest the eyes of each of her victims. Each one glimmers like round jewels, peering out in terror almost as if they were still alive.
Briza has long decided to leave the desires for power and conquest behind. It was simply a fool’s errand which the Drow would never achieve with all their infighting skirmishes and power struggles. She had come to see this more clearly once she separated herself in pursuit of her new goals.
The thought had crossed her mind to cut ties with the Underdark completely. Briza did so hate the arrogant males of Levesari, though it was entertaining to remind them of their inferiority from time to time. Better still, all the fighting did keep her coffers full from all the available jobs. Someone was always eager to rid themselves of a rival. Of course the risk still remains that her secret could be discovered, which would ruin her reputation regardless her skills, but she is careful to keep that hidden behind a visor of fine mithril.
What skilled assassin would ever let their entire face be seen by another and allow them to live?
I’ve hit a bit of a snag. I was leaning toward Half Drow, but that wouldn’t be possible if humans have been extinct from this realm for so long. However I do have an idea to work around it and it may be better than what I had originally intended.

You know, I actually didn’t think about the half drow possibly not being a thing- Maybe there are a few stragglers who managers to live for so long??
I’m up for whatever idea you have and I can’t wait to seeeee!! :)))

I thought to ask, two things actually. 1: If a Drow vampire ingests blood from someone that's semi-recently taken or injected illicit substances, would they be effected/befuddled by the chemicals in the user's bloodstream. 2: How much would they be effected by that?
