Ora is a fictional villager and murder victim and a minor character featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is associated with the Dracula line of titles and made a single appearance in Tomb of Dracula #5 in November, 1972 titled "Death to a Vampire-Slayer!"

Biography

Ora was a young brown-haired woman who lived in Transylvania in the late 1800s. She was keenly aware of the existence of vampires as her father had been present on the day that noted occult scholar Abraham van Helsing temporarily slew the infamous vampire lord known as Dracula. Ora was also aware of the existence of other supernatural creatures such as werewolves.

While walking home one evening after gathering fruit beneath the light of the full moon, she spied a bat, which turned out to be Dracula himself. As Ora turned at a bend in the road, Dracula pounced upon her, sinking his fangs into her neck and drinking blood. He consumed enough of Ora's blood that she died right there on the lonely road.

A short while later, a villager came upon Ora's body. Recognizing her, he brought her back to the local village and warned all of the villagers of the presence of a vampire. They banded together to form a lynch mob and conducted an unsuccessful march on Castle Dracula.
