Valencia: Well, being a vampire is... annoying. Taking into consideration that I'm not entirely a vampire, the negatives are a bit less bad than they'd be if I were a full one.

I'd say that the pros are: I'm very strong, fast, I have a massive bite force, I can live for a really long time and physically age slowly, and I guess it's kind of easier to scare people? I dunno.That's all I can think of at the moment. I'm sure there's more, but I need to get into the cons.

Bad things would be: Mirrors are pretty much useless for me, I get sunburned really easily, I rely on drinking blood to live and if I go for long enough without any I'd die, it practically murders my stomach when I eat garlic, I've been targeted by a lot of monster hunters who've tried to kill me, when I accidentally bite my tongue or something when I'm eating, it freakin' hurts because of my fangs, and again, I'm pretty sure there's more that I'm not thinking of right now.

Whether it's a curse or a blessing, to me the answer is obvious: Curse.
