Mina Harper is a major character in Grim Tales: Further Orientation and even got her own profile. She once was the daughter of a human family but got adopted by Vlad the Count later on. She appears in the first set pages of GTFO and originates from the Nickeldeon short, Mina and the Count.
Grim Tales
History
Mina was once a 7-year old human girl who lived with her father and big sister Lucy. One night Vlad came in her room by mistake, and because Mina was just a little girl the two befriended. Mina was getting bullied more at school by Nick because she said she had a vampire friend but Vlad helped her with that. Mina got some rivalry with Igor but that also quickly worked out. At some point after the original show, Vlad bit Mina making her a vampire too. He probably also killed her father and big sister before they moved to the Underworld.
Further Orientation
Mina first appeared in GTFO where she was fighting Mimi. Mina was furious at Mimi and was trying to scare her with her fangs but failed, when Mimi hit her with a steak and slammed her with a mallet.
After that Mina transformed into her wolf form and tried to fight back but, Mimi put garlic bread in her mouth and while she was on the ground Mimi was able to throw a house at her and when she did Vlad the Count called to Mina and told her to use her mist powers.
When the house came crashing down Mina used her mist powers to escape but Mimi used a vacuum to suck her up and shook Mina forcing her to give up. Mina escaped when she turned into her bat form, but Mimi hit her with a for sale sign and tried to stab her, but then Vlad the Count saved her by turning into his bat form.
Mimi attempts to attack again with a car but Him interupts. Him then talks to Vlad about an agreement about his castle being his due to their agreement but Vlad retaliates by stating he didn't "sign a contract". Him rephrases but this time stating that Mina signed. Apparently as a undead vampire Mina is trapped in the ageless body of a 7 year old.
She made the deal with Him in a attempt to gain a living body and failed. Taking her anger out on Vlad blaiming him for turning her into a vampire. According to Him it is possible for him to give her a living body but the sacrifice would be too great and he simply suggests that she accept her fate as a vampire and learn to "live" with it.
