Like Some Daywalker

"You're the nervy one, sneaking off like some daywalker."

--Anna, to Rudolph

Anna makes this comment in a throwaway fashion, but I'm curious. What is a daywalker? This concept is of course never touched on again, so I can't write a proper page about it like I did Tony's sympathy powers, but still?

The term implies a vampire that can go out in the day, hence "daywalker", but this could mean anything. The universe clearly establishes that it's possible to be an ex-vampire, so could this be a daywalker? I read somewhere that the vampires are capable of having relations with humans, meaning there is a chance of having hybrids (called dhampir by Eastern European cultures). Could this be a daywalker, as it is in Blade?

Furthermore, what is a daywalker's place in vampire society? Given that it's treated snidely by Anna, and Frederick finds it distasteful for her to say such a thing, the status of the daywalker doesn't seem to be a good one. Perhaps vampires think themselves better than daywalkers, and daywalkers are essentially second-class citizens in vampire culture.

Or maybe Frederick finds it distasteful that Anna is treating the daywalker concept so lightly, which therefore means that daywalkers are a sort of ideal, which lends credence to the theory that they could be ex-vampires, myth or otherwise.

Curse this movie, for not settling this.

Maybe the books will, if I can ever read them.
