for animals, it doesn't aplly so much with the age as it does with a human, and yes their beast form will look a little more different than a humanoid subjects would.
It doesn't take much effort for an elite to regenerate something under normal circumstances, but for Adria, that had been the first time she had to regenerate anything. She always had others do her fighting for her, and wasn't sure just how to grow back those parts. But something very important like a head, will grow back faster because it is more important than feet, and of course doesn't require concentration for it to grow back (it just kinda defaults to grow back when it's cut off)

Is Lemrya an actual living being, with her own soul and stuff or is she just part of Claires mind that has become a physical creature?

i was wondering about the head tning , too... what if someone had trouble regenerating a head! they would just be a body, with a spirit head!

the latter, she is merely the leftovers of energy that Claire did not call back. So it is actually indeed Claire's brain by all means, but Lem has developed into her own individual self. She has no soul since she is part of Claire's body and would share the soul, so if Lemrya were to die her body would dissolve and go straight back to Claire. Despite having Claire's brain though, Lem has only a little bit of Claire's memories. It is somewhat like a computer with only the moniter on. She uses the most primitive regions of her brain, but that doesn't mean she is dumb and reptillian, since she does use a little more than that, but for the msot part she uses what she needs to get by. The rest is superfluous. Unless someone could tap into that unused portion, and force her to be aware of it and use it, then they would have a direct clone of Claire except with a less desirable form that is...

hahaha! ewww... yes, she eats, but it just disolves straight into energy, since it has no place else to go. So if she eats something very valuable to someone, it's gone for good, no searching the backyard with gloves for it ^_^

Umm... Can elites (i always want to call them l33ts XD) eat food other than blood and humans? COuld they eat, say, a bag of chips? I think they can... not sure...

yup, Charby has been known to indulge ina few things other than chicken (he likes both the blood and the cooked stuff) like sandwiches (when he brought Zerlocke home he is eating one) candies (Bittles!)Fiz soda and other such junk food. This eases the hunger pains, and gives him soemething to do that is natural to him. Same with the other elites, but they all tend to avoid really strong foods, since their senses are so...(sensitive?) now things like garlic or onions overpower their senses and mess things up. But blood of course it what gives them a lot of energy so that is what their body demands. And they can tell it to shut up with a bag of chips for a while ^_^

Do they have to eat? apart from drinking blood.

nope, not neccessarily, it is more a force of habit than an actual need when it is just normal hunger as opposed to bloodthirst.Of course an empty stomach can be hard to ignore even if it is not important for them to eat, and the food does give them energy and all that good stuff, but they could live completely off one feeding of blood a week and be perfectly well. Going completely without either will drive both an elite and a normal vamp to a blood-craze much quicker, though the latter will have a less extreme reaction than an elite will.without blood a normal will get weak and tired, and perhaps have to rest to conserve energy. Am elite will do the same except when it is at its weakest, they lose control of their powers and the "instinct" takes over

Somewhat yes, though the dhampire is a being that is naturally inclined to kill vampires, has vampire abilities but also has its human rational and no real need for blood to gain power. Also they can walk in daylight. Dhampires themselves aren't steril, but formerly-human vampires are amongst other vampires. So a pureblood and a spawn or two spawns cannot have kids, but any of them with a human can. This is another reason relationships with humans are frowned upon heavily. *gasp!* Does this mean that there's a chance that Victor could be a Dhampire? How do you pronounce that, anyway?

oh my, I totally missed that question by a long time ^_^;; bad Amy..... Anyhow, yea all vampires can eat any food they want but choose to avoid certain foods that are too strong (strong odors and sensations can put their senses out of tune) but food rather than blood really does very little to restore energy in the body of a sanguivore.
As for Vic being a dhampire, while it would explain a lot about him it is highly unlikely since both his parents were normal humans. I think it is pronounced "Dam-pere" but I'll have to check...
ah, that is an interesting question! When an elite is in mortal peril, the body does call to energy around it so it's likely that Lemrya's exixtence would be sucked into the vacuum as well to boost Claire's energy, but if she was cut off without the chance or Lem was far enough away at the moment, Lemrya could likely exist without Claire. She is her own entity now, but if Claire was in desperate need of her energy (unconsciously of course) Lemrya would return to Claire's body. It's also very likely that Claire could posess Lemrya and grow right from her body too, but Lemrya would cease to be the moment Claire took the body.

may i ask something? these vampires to they have any vurnabillitys like cant walk through a water stream, cant walk in without being invited etc? there is tons of such things, i know you had a strip with one of them once. the counting bit... what was it called XP

for regular vampires, things like obsessiive/compulsive counting of spilled small objects is a common shared trait as is lack of a reflection, but I realize a lot of vampire myth contradicts itself (some say they cast no shadow, while other myths say a vampire's shadow causes madness when cast on a mortal, etc) The invitation thing doesn't effect them, though at one time I had planned to make a joke about it (it was rather corny) this in a way contradcts itself too, because if a vampire needed an invitation to enter a home no one would bother placing objects to count on the threshold of the door because he'd probably not bother to go there in the first place. ^_^ so for now vampires can barge in any time they want, but they do have a loose set of rules saying that they shouldn't lest they risk scaring the menu items into actullay making an effort to protect themselves (In CTV the human population is largely ignorant of the threat of any supernatural being in Kellwood)
as for streams of running water, I'm still not sure if I want to do anything with that just yet but for now, I think that may have been mixing myths such as the vampire and the Nuckalavee, an evil fae monster which cannot pursue a victim over running water. But since fairy lore and vampirism are closely tied, we'll see what I finally decide on that one...I want to keep things familiar but at times I even change things to make the characters in my comic unique from others involving the same creature
