Miss Wilhelmina Murray (aka Mina Harker)
Former assistant schoolmistress
Former wife of Jonathan Harker
Currently a member of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Quotation 1: "And here the whole thing seemed to overwhelm me in a rush. The pity for Jonathan, the horror which he experienced, the whole fearful mystery of his diary, and the fear that has been brooding over me ever since, all came in a tumult. I suppose I was hysterical, for I threw myself on my knees and held up my hands to him, and implored him to make my husband well again."

Quotation 2: "With that [Dracula] pulled open his shirt, and with his long nails opened a vein in his breast. When the blood began to spurt out, he took my hands in one of his, holding them tight, and with the other seized my neck and pressed my mouth to the wound, so that I must either suffocate or swallow some of the--Oh my God! my God! what have I done?"

Quotation 3: "I should have felt terrible fear at seeing Jonathan in such danger, but that the ardour of battle must have been upon me as well as the rest of them; I felt no fear, but only a wild, surging desire to do something."
-- Excerpts from Mina Harker's Journal, Dracula

Quotation 4: "In six weeks, Mr. Bond, I have been almost killed on two occasions. If this affords delight to your monogrammatic superior, Mr. Mycroft Holmes, then I am, you may be sure, immensely comforted."
-- League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1, No. 2

Unique Schticks:
The Everyman Hero schtick and...
Touched by a Vampire: Mina Harker has given blood to and been forced to drink blood from Count Dracula. What 'powers and abilities far beyond mortal man' this may give her has not yet been revealed in the comic.

Source Material:
Dracula, by Bram Stoker
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, by Alan Moore

Wealth Level: working stiff (comic), rich (book)

Weapons: Revolver, Elephant Gun/club, pail, stern look, etc.

Juncture: 1850 (really 1897)

Notes: At the end of the novel, Mina Harker is still happily married, has a son, and is free of Dracula's influence. At the beginning of the comic, she is divorced, no child is mentioned, and she refuses to remove the scarf around her neck. She displays her willpower, deductive abilities, and leadership in both. She can be tough as nails, but can also be overwhelmed by circumstances, something also captured in both novel and comic. Based on the comic, for FS, I peg her as a dupe of the Order of the Wheel.
