Someone in the vampire life style who has a physical thirst, need, craving for blood (which is non-erotic in nature) in more significant quantity than is generally required or desired by other blood-drinkers. Sanguinarians (a word from the Latin root "sanguinarius", meaning "bloodthirsty") apparently do not get the benefits from pranic energy, or else they are unable to feed psychically like psi and energy vampires, for whom blood and pranic energy are apparently interchangeable.

Turning red easily, especially in the face, when doing sports, being shy, drinking alcohol, laughing... As if it was because of a particularly fast flow of blood in the veins.

Devenir rouge facilement, surtout dans le visage, en faisant du sport, en étant soudainement gêné.e, en buvant, en riant... Comme si c'était à cause d'un flux particulièrement rapide de sang dans les veines.
-Omg Eve, you turned so red all of a sudden!
-I know, i'm really sanguine!

-Omg Eve, t'es virée rouge tout d'un coup!
-Je sais, je sais. Je suis vraiment sanguine !

A person who drinks blood. Sanguinarians are not like hollywood vampires. They do not have rock hard skin. They drink blood cleanly, not by biting the neck. Sun does feel uncomfortable to them. But they will not burn up. Sanguinarians could be Christian or just about any religion. Not all of them are devil worshippers.
The donor met with the Sanguinarian so he could feed.
