Harry tearing away Bianca's flesh mask with a pocket full of sunshine.
A Flesh mask is a sheath of skin worn by Red Court vampires in order to pass for humans. It is first mentioned in Storm Front.
Description[]
During times of intense emotion, the vampire's true, bat-like body can be seen wriggling under the surface of the mask.[1]
Older vampires may use this flesh mask as a shield against the sun, allowing them to walk around in daylight without being harmed.[2]
