Babette

Babette is a Vampire in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. As a member of the Dark Brotherhood, she also functions as a Merchant of Potions and Ingredients, as well as being a trainer of Alchemy. Usually Babette talks to Gabriella about her recent contracts. She keeps a friendly pet spider, Lis, in the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, or Dawnstar Sanctuary if the brotherhood moves.

Babette is usually found sitting down looking at her spider along with Gabriella and Festus Krex.

Biography
At age ten, Babette was bitten by a vampire, becoming one herself. She's lived three hundred years as a vampire, boasting of how her innocent appearance makes killing easier.

Interactions
She, along with the Dragonborn, Nazir, and Cicero (if he was not killed in an earlier quest) are the only members of the Dark Brotherhood to survive the Penitus Oculatus attack on the Sanctuary. As such, she moves to the Dawnstar Sanctuary.

Trivia

 * She may be an allusion to "Claudia" or "Babette" from the novel, Interview with the Vampire. In the story, Claudia was a child vampire, while Babette was a potion-maker.
 * Babette cannot be pickpocketed or harmed in any way because she has the body of a child.
 * Money Babette receives as a skill trainer is added to her available funds to buy things as a merchant.
 * Babette tells the story of a man who offers her candy and then follows her home searching for her parents.
 * She may have survived the attack on the Sanctuary because death of children, or children bodies, is not encouraged, although it might just be because she's a vampire.
 * Because of her age, she was alive at the time of the Oblivion Crisis.
