The 'Vampire Princess' bit could just be Maruyama's nod out to the Kyuuketsuki Miyu franchise. Evileye fits the same general description as Miyu, including the mask and how her spells are described. (Closer to Yui if you include the blond hair bit. Not too much difference, Yui was almost the mirror image to Miyu except for the hair in the manga.) The whole 'insect' thing is probably also the same... the Shinma in Miyu were often shown to be insect-like or insect-based.

It's interesting to me if this was intentional. The jist of Miyu was more along the lines of a psychological morality play than what Overlord feels like to me. If he wants us to look at the story in the same way, it's very thought provoking.
