History Characters / Castlevania

[[folder:Adrian F. Tepes (Alucard)]]

* {{Expy}}: Likely of [[Anime/{{Noir}} Yuumura Kirika]]; she's an amnesiac, emotionless young woman fighting on behalf of a mysterious church-based organization whose leader has a sinister ulterior motive... and she's even voiced by Creator/HoukoKuwashima. However, she has the fashion sense of [[https://foolz.fireden.net/foolfuuka/boards/v/image/1428/45/1428458657415.jpg Millenia]] from the VideoGame/{{Deception}} franchise, [[SerialNumbersFiledOff seriously]]...
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Female [=NPCs=] and enemies flirt with her.

* NobleWolf: His intensive training to control his wolf form has two reasons; disgust with his clan's [[SavageWolves savagery]] and a desire to protect his sister.

* HeadTurningBeauty: In Symphony of the Night.

* TheGunslinger: Soma is, so far, the only playable protagonist in the series who can use firearms. He has access to standard pistols, [[GrenadeLauncher an RPG]], and a decidedly futuristic [[WaveMotionGun positron rifle]].

* TheGunslinger: Soma is, so far, the only playable protagonist in the series who can use firearms. He has access to standard pistols, [[GrenadeLauncher an RPG]], and a decidedly futuristic [[WaveMotionCannon positron rifle]].

* RealityEnsues: He works for a ''sports magazine'', which at first complies with publishing his monster stories, but they eventually [[spoiler:fire him because, again, they're a '''sports magazine that has absolutely nothing to do with the supernatural'''. After this, he decides to stay in the village and court Laura]].

->''"I will incinerate you before your fangs touch that man's throat."''

* FamousLastWords: In the games, her last words are remembered by Alucard as "Do not hate humans. If you cannot live with them, then at least do them no harm, for theirs is already a hard lot," as well as admitting that she will love her husband forever.

** He also once again took a leave of absence in [[WesternAnimation/Castlevania2017 the Netflix series]], not being seen at all throughout the series. [[spoiler:However, the final season introduces [[DistaffCounterpart Greta of Danesti Village]], who pretty much fulfills his combat role and serves as Alucard's LoveInterest.]]

* [[Characters/Castlevania2017 Animated series]]

* DummiedOut: He was going to be playable in ''Dawn's'' Julius mode. A few voice clips hidden in ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDespair Harmony of Despair]]'' hinted that Hammer may have been planned for that game as well. Unfortunately, no such luck.

%%* PimpedOutDress

Four years later, when Richter vanishes, a grown-up Maria tries to investigate the castle herself, but she ends up meeting Alucard and works together with him. She saves Richter, and develops feelings for Alucard, but is unable to convince him to remain awake. (However, if you get the Best Ending, Maria runs after Alucard, leaving Richter on the cliff. In the [[AudioAdaptation audio drama]] ''Nocturne of Recollection'', Maria and Alucard are living together.)

* BoobsOfSteel: Is one of the strongest magicians in the series and has one of the largest busts in the series. Only truly present in her ''Judgement'' and ''Pachislot'' iterations, though. Whether or not she has this in her original debut game is unknown, though if she does, then it makes her ability to disguise herself as a man all the more impressive. Averted in the [[WesternAnimation/Castlevania2017 Netflix series]], where she has a much more modest bust.

* DashingHispanic: It's garbled in the English translation, but in the original it's implied she originated from Spain due to her surname. In the Netflix animation, she gets a Hispanic accent to reflect on that.

* SweetPollyOliver: In her first game, she was introduced doing this to help avoid being persecuted. Subsequent appearances have dropped this angle, though.
** Played straight in the [[WesternAnimation/Castlevania2017 Netflix animation]], where she dresses just like the male Speakers and wears her hair short. She explains it's safer for her to travel this way.

* MrFanservice: Especially in the Netflix adaptation, where he fights Trevor [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]].

%%* AdaptationalBadass: In the Netflix series, her first onscreen action is seeking out Dracula herself and slicing a bat in two.

%%* BadassNormal: Downplayed in the Netflix series. She has no special abilities and the most combat we'll potentially ever see of her is her stabbing a bat. But not only did she seek out Dracula of her own volition, but instead of being terrified that Dracula is... [[{{Dracula}} well, Dracula]], she outright tells him that he needs to relearn manners and that he should get out more often. Considering what Dracula is capable of, it's rather impressive to see a normal human be so upfront with him.
%%* DeadpanSnarker: The Netflix series portrays her as this. How does she react to Dracula threatening to drain her dry when they first met? Call him out on his lack of manners and hospitality. It's no wonder the Count took such a liking to her.
* BurnTheWitch: Accused of witchcraft due to being, apparently, a [[BadassBookworm very good doctor]]. According to widespread {{fanon}} {{common knowledge}} and thus in the Netflix series, she's literally burned at the stake. But the game graphics have her [[CrucifiedHeroShot tied to a cross]] with no firewood or flames in sight (yet), and [[AllThereInTheManual an official manga]] drawn by the game's artist Ayami Kojima has Dracula retrieving her intact body, indicating she was murdered some other way.
* FamousLastWords: In the games, her last words are remembered by Alucard as "Do not hate humans. If you cannot live with them, then at least do them no harm, for theirs is already a hard lot," as well as admitting that she will love her husband forever. In the Netflix series, her last words are "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing".
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Lisa has pale blonde hair, which Alucard inherits. He also takes his good nature from her, [[WordOfGod and also the Holy trait.]] In the Netflix series, Lisa has brighter blonde hair and is rather personable up until her death.

* IHateYouVampireDad: Played with. Although Alucard hates Dracula, Dracula is still fond of him. However, this hatred is more focused on what Dracula has ''become'' - ''Dracula's Curse'' and ''Symphony of the Night'' make it explicit that Alucard takes no pleasure in striking down his own father, even being wracked with guilt the first time he does so. [[spoiler:If the animation is any indication, Adrian still loves his father very much, and hates that they are forced to fight, as he breaks down in tears when Dracula dies.]]

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He's physically eighteen, but he is immortal. (This is averted in the Netflix series, where he really is no older than twenty.)

** He also once again took a leave of absence in [[WesternAnimation/Castlevania2017 the Netflix series]], not being seen at all throughout the series.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Tera gives off this vibe in ''The Dracula X Chronicles''.

** In ''Harmony of Dissonance'', her name is inadvertently spelled as [[MyHeroZero Cipher]] in English (an item called "Cipher's Charm" is actually "Sypha's Charm" and the translators missed the ''CVIII'' reference). Considering the little amount of story thus far (only existing so the Belmonts can have magic), it's almost fitting... until ''Judgment'' fixed her name back to Sypha.
