I am trying to find songs fitting for the following character, but am not having much luck. I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Emily Markell was a nice young girl, she lived quite happily in a quiet town named Twin Hills. An odd town, but never-the-less quiet. She spent most of her time as a nice, sweet young woman tending to the horses at the stables and playing her flute while watching the beauty of the natural world. But she wasn't naive, she paid attention to the happenings of the world at large, so she knew plenty of the warmongering humanoids, the destruction that occurred regularly across the world, all the suffering caused by the tyrants of the world. But she was just a peasant girl, she could do nothing - there are heroes in the world for a reason.

Brushing a horse in the stables, back turned to the entrance, something happened that night. She's still not entirely entirely sure what it was, but she knows what the end result was - she is a vampire, a powerful and unique one at that. The animals she once loved now shun her, the world of nature burns, repels and harms her, and everyone she used to love is realizing that she is a monster now. But she has power. The power to do anything she wants to this cruel world, and she intends to use it. The warmongering nations will burn, the tyrants will be destroyed, all who cause undue suffering will pay the ultimate price.

Unfortunately for her, she does not fully understand how to control the demonic urges she now has. And for all the helplessness she has endured through her life, being at the mercy of others, now she can do anything she wants. Her base primal desires are flooding her mind, and she knows that little to nothing can stop her from treating the world as her playtoy.

The following are the most important parts of the character...
~ She despises the suffering and mass destruction that has befallen the land, all the war and plague. But she has nothing against using disease, dark magic, torture, or any other "evil" method to accomplish her goals. She has accepted that she is as bad as those she fights.
~ She is a good person, very sweet and kind, who has a small dark side that is filled with violence and rage. But that dark side has been amplified tenfold by her vampirism, so she has more fury than most people can handle, and it all came at her suddenly. She doesn't know how to control her own anger, or her bloodlust.
~ The life she is used to, and likes, is simply doing what she can to live a comfortable life. Now that nothing can stop her, her comfortable life is "whatever she wants, whenever she wants it." She has lost all idea of inhibitions and taboos, and given into a very bestial and carnal view on fun. But she still likes the calm, sweet times as well.
~ She cannot be near the things she once loved. This fills her with an immense sorrow, which she tries to ignore by drowning it with fury.

Any suggestions for songs would be greatly appreciated.

Here are some ideas

Blood flows out of a thousand wounds
The evil suffer
Blood of evil, blood of good
blood is blood no matter whose

Warmongers and tyrants
evil dogs
fight fire with fire
fall prey to my dark desire

love so sweet blood so sweet
evildoers my claws you will meet
vengeance upon the sinners
all who do good are not good

Well, that actually works, and that's going to be used (if it's okay with you), but I was thinking more along the lines of songs I could play, like, real-life music. Although still, thanks for the input.

Or, is that actually a song from somewhere? If so, who's it by?

Feel free to.Those aren't actual songs but just some random poetry
Talking about real life music, are you thinking of creepy instrumental music, then there's "black aria & black aria 2" by glen danzig and "heresy" by lustmord among others
If you want non-instrumental, many types of metal music will fit the bill

Go goth:

Sisters of Mercy and Bahuas are two good bands to go for. Black Tape For A Blue Girl and Morrisey are good as well and if you want something dark but violent go Type-O Negative it's got a bit more punch than the whiny goth.
