It's often said that Carmilla influenced Dracula, but usually it's left at that.

Hopefully I'll expand on this soon, but one of the Carmilla influences on Dracula can be found in Lucy Westenra:

Lucy and Carmilla are both victims of a vampire who bit them, attacked them in their beds, and turned them.

Both of them died ill, shy of turning 20.

Both Carmilla and Lucy slip through cracks and locked spaces that are otherwise impossible to get through.

Both are seen at night in white.

Both of them move at night in a trance-like state when spotted by outsiders (among trees with Carmilla, among graves with Lucy). Lucy's sleepwalking could have been influenced by Carmilla's nightly trances, from when she prowls to feed.

Both of them will choose a random victim at night, feed on them, and then leave them to their fate, to hunt another day (Carmilla with the villagers, Lucy with the children). The difference is that Carmilla's feedings prove fatal after a few days.

Carmilla and Lucy both have a target with whom they have formed a bond. They see this person not just as a source of sustenance, but as someone they want to accompany them in undeath (Carmilla with Laura, Lucy with Arthur).

Lucy has similarities with Laura as well, in that both of them are also the same age, from an old, known family, in peril of turning into a vampire, and are kept in ignorance by parental/male figures. The narratives have differing attitudes towards the last point.

That's a plot point in Metaphor and how you recruit Heismay when u think about it

Legends say that a powerful demon lives in the mountains. After a string of mysterious disappearances, you are hired as a hunter to confront the demon. The demon squarely defeats you, but then pulls you to your feet. "Let us find out who is behind these disappearances and ruining my good name."
