Maria Renard
The sister of Annette Renard, who is Richter's girlfriend. After
Richter married Annette, she became a sister-in-law of the Belmont
clan. Kidnapped by Dracula at 12 years old in an attempt to lure
Richter into his hands, she can be freed and used as another
character to play as. Her main attack is to throw doves, which
return after flying a short distance. She also attacks with birds,
turtles, a dragon, and even her shrill singing voice. Maria also
has a double-jump power, can slide, and has a powerful move that
projects her alter-ego. Unfortunately, she cannot take as many hits
as Richter.
In Symphony of the Night, Maria is now a teenager, and sets out to
find the missing Richter Belmont. No longer the cute little girl
she was before, Maria is a brave young woman. When she begins her
search, Castlevania mysteriously appears, as if to lead her on the
search. When first meeting Alucard, she seems unsure whether to
trust him, but soon learns that he is a noble being. She posses
magical skills, able to charge up and shoot out magical bolts, as
well as summoning more grown-up versions of her animal compatriots.
She can also triple jump.
