I believe Carmilla Carmine to be a fallen angel
As well as the fact that she has daughters when sinners can't reproduce there is an important detail I can't believe no one has brought up.
Look at her, I mean really look at her, what is something you might notice? Other than her stunning beauty
An amazing lack of features she has. She has no wings, no shark teeth, no monstrous/bestial features, no horns (I was surprised to learn that her buns weren't wrapped around horns), no inorganic parts like Vox or what have you and she shares this trait with her daughters Odette and Clara. The only arguably inhuman trait are her large hands, which are not exactly a very defining trait especially since they moved away from her pilot design of having claws.
Look at the denizens of Hell:
They are incredibly diverse in form, having taken on features influenced by personality, sin, time period and cause of death. Even most "basic" sinners still look like generic devils.
(I used Mrs. Mayberry from Helluva Boss because she is the best shot of a "devil" sinner but they are seen often as background characters in Hazbin Hotel as well).
Now there is an exception to this though: Velvette
Now with her, I believe that is less a lore reason and more an artistic design choice since it is apparent her outfit and hairstyle is going to be different in every appearance she has so they left out any extra features to make that easier for the animators.
She is essentially a blank canvas for the animators to play dress up doll with, but she does still lack a nose which makes her a little less human looking than Carmilla.
Now getting back to Carmilla's daughters, even if Odette and Clara also died at the same time as Carmilla which is why they are together in Hell, the chances that they wouldn't have enough variables to have any unique features of their own feels slim, did these three really have so little variation in personality and sin one of them wouldn't look a little more monstrous?
Some have pointed out the horns they have are probably fake, with Odette's being her hairband, which with Carmilla's hair buns seem to almost be an attempt to "fit in" with the sinners.
Overall as many have brought up, the Carmines have more in common with Vaggie design wise with how few unique features they have, and we all know what Vaggie's deal turned out to be.
Anyway that's my two cents and I'd love to know your thoughts if you have any.

-- Odette Hollows [B A S I C S]
B A S I C S
Name: Odette Hollows
Nicknames: None commonly used. Yein calls her their ‘Moonlit Friend’ and Marlow refers to her by title; Sister. I don’t know if any of these are ‘nicknames.’
Age: Early Twenties
Nameday: 9th Sun of the Fifth Umbral Moon
Race: Mostly Hyur; technically Ashkin.
Gender: CIS Female
Orientation: Demi Lesbian
Profession: Nun Errant, Psychopomp, Shepherd
P H Y S I C A L A S P E C T S
Hair: Strands of spun moonlight are cropped just past her jawline; styled with a few braids with occasional charms or ribbons woven throughout. Likely her most recognizable feature. In dark enough settings, it can shed low light.
Eyes: Like frozen pools; her right eye is a sharp blue, and her left is a clear lavender.
Skin: Ghostly pale, dotted with occasional beauty marks.
Tattoos/scars: Graced with stretch marks but beyond that no notable scars.
F A M I L Y
Parents: Unknown to her, deceased. Perfectly nice people who, through no fault of their own, died.
Siblings: N/A
Grandparents: Unknown to her, deceased. Also perfectly nice people.
In-laws and Other: A great-many-times-over Aunt named Odile. A not-so-nice person.
Pets: Rou, a large Karakul who often travels with Odette. Three ewes: Pomme, Poire, and Peche.
S K I L L S
Abilities: - Odette is a beacon to lost souls, ghosts, and spirits. They flock to her and under the umbrella of her influence their forms are altered into that of moths. They cling to her, calling for aid which she lends as best she can. Odette is a psychopomp, she guides the dead without judgment. She can see, hear, and otherwise interact with these lost and stuck souls.
She has a custom job fusion of WHM (Conjury)/PLD.
- A strong defensive fighter, Odette prefers her shield and conjurer’s cane to the sword that hangs at her side. She wields her shield well, trusting in it fully to keep herself and her loved ones safe. When she plants her cane, the river rises.
- Kulning is an ancient form of herding calls used over long distances. Odette learned the skill in her youth and uses it still, calling in her small flock of Karakul at her home. Is this important enough to put here? Probably not, it’s just an additional fun fact! For you!
Hobbies: Reading, gardening, knitting (badly), and exploration. She also plays piano and harp.
T R A I T S
Most Positive Trait: The warmth of her personality, her willingness to meet and love people as they are and as they change. Her curiosity about the people around her.
Most Negative Trait: Her inability to trust herself, her eagerness to trust others above herself. People don’t care for the stealing, either.
L I K E S
Colors: Blues, Purples, Silver, and a pop of red.
Smells: Rich, damp soil; Cedar; sun-ripened peaches; sweet, warm vanilla.
Textures: The warmth of hand-spun wool, wood worn smooth with use, the delicate touch of petals against skin.
Drinks: Hot chocolate with marshmallows and butterscotch, lemonade infused with different fruits and flowers.
O T H E R D E T A I L S
Smokes: Not cigarettes.
Drinks: No.
Drugs: Yes, pretty heavily. She cannot sleep so she takes drugs to sort of ‘float’ in a resting state. It doesn’t work but it is better than nothing.
Mount Issuance: Odette is not insured to ride anything. She walks most places, or takes ferries and airships where she can. She owns a Chocobo, named Beauty, who was gifted to her by her friend None. Most of the time if she is riding, she rides Rou, her most loyal Karakul.
Been Arrested: No, but she should have been.

"Why do you keep stalling!!"
Another edit this time set in my "Decoy Princess" AU. Odette pretends to be the princess on Harumi's orders to get information on the ninja, only for her to dveelop genuine camaraderie with them. This angers Harumi. One might she catches Odette by surprise and grills her. If she doesn't regain focus then SHE will personally step in. Odette is afraid for her new friends.
