In certain games, depending on the player's actions during their journey, Annette can also serve as a boss encounter.

Castlevania: Rondo of Blood During his quest, Richter encountered and rescued Maria Renard, a young girl who happened to know Annette and recognized Richter from her stories about him. Together, they pressed on toward the castle. Meanwhile, Annette was separated from the other prisoners and taken to the castle's clocktower, seemingly because Dracula had taken a particular interest in her. In her chamber, Dracula approached Annette and offered her eternal life and a place by his side in his reign of terror. Annette, refusing to succumb, brandished a concealed knife and declared she would rather end her life than become a monster. At that moment, Shaft interrupted to inform Dracula of intruders in the castle, prompting the Count to depart. Richter eventually reached the clocktower and freed Annette. After ensuring she was unharmed, Richter embraced her and assured her that the path back to safety was clear. Despite Annette’s pleas for them to escape together, Richter explained that he had to fulfill his duty as a Belmont by confronting Dracula, as his destiny called him to this mission. Accepting his resolve, Annette departed for the village, leaving Richter to continue his battle against the Lord of Darkness. Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles Annette is held prisoner in a different location within the clocktower, which is a departure from the original game. The previous location, which was a dead end containing a Lesser Vampire, is now replaced with a new area. To rescue Annette, the player must first free both Iris and Tera, who are also imprisoned in the castle, before being able to reach Annette's new prison and save her. This change adds complexity to the rescue sequence, requiring additional effort before Annette can be freed. Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls In her vampire form, Annette attacks the heroes using her moveset from The Dracula X Chronicles. After being defeated, she retreats, vowing to make Richter hers, even if it means doing so against his will. Later in the chapter, Annette reappears in her human form alongside Carmilla during the boss fight. In the first phase of the battle, she utilizes a moveset similar to Laura's, filling the same role she did in the original game. In the second phase, she transforms back into her Lesser Vampire form. After Carmilla is defeated by Maria and Richter, Annette is freed from Carmilla's influence and expresses deep remorse for her actions. She apologizes for hurting Richter and Maria and asks for their forgiveness. Richter reassures her that he's glad to have saved her, and Annette wishes him safety as he continues his mission. |
Annette is initially depicted with long, flowing violet hair and long bangs that frame her face. Her eyes are a striking turquoise, complementing her vibrant hair color. In her first appearance in Rondo of Blood, she wears a yellow-orange dress with a frilled collar and a green skirt. Her strong-willed nature is reflected in her appearance, with her clothing adding to her determination and sense of resolve. As described in the instruction booklet, she shares these traits with Richter, but also possesses a kind and caring personality, making her a character of both strength and empathy.
In Rondo of Blood, Annette's outfit consists of a yellow-orange dress paired with a green skirt, reflecting her warm and caring personality. The frilled collar adds a delicate touch, but the overall design maintains her strong-willed nature. The vivid colors of her attire are indicative of her spirited nature and firm resolve against injustice.
When Annette is transformed into a vampire, her attire changes dramatically. She wears a revealing black corset and matching bottoms, which accentuate her vampiric persona. Her red fingerless opera gloves and thigh-high boots complete the outfit, while her hair is let down to reveal a more seductive and dangerous aura. Her once turquoise eyes are now red, and bat wings sprout from her back, symbolizing her full transformation into a creature of the night. Her cross necklace is replaced with a red crystal on a black lace collar, further emphasizing her allegiance to Dracula. As a vampire, Annette’s attire and behavior reflect her complete embrace of evil and cruelty, a stark contrast to her original gentle nature.
In Dracula X, Annette was reimagined by Akihiro Yamada, who portrayed her with blonde hair tied into a bow and a more revealing green dress. The green bustier with floral patterns now exposes more of her shoulders, giving her a more refined yet seductive appearance.
In The Dracula X Chronicles, she was redesigned once again, this time by Ayami Kojima, maintaining aspects of the Dracula X design but with more intricate details. Her blonde hair is styled in an updo bun with long bangs, and her eyes are now green. She wears a green dress with frills, a green bustier that reveals more of her shoulders, and white silk at the bottom portion of her dress. A cross necklace completes her look, though her faith in Richter and her protective nature toward Maria remain central to her character. After being rescued by Richter, she expresses concern for Maria’s safety, displaying a caring attitude despite her dire circumstances.
In her vampire form, Annette's appearance shifts dramatically, embracing a seductive, sinister look. The black corset and red accents are replaced with a more revealing red and black corset, and she dons lace cuffs on her bare feet instead of the previous thigh-high boots. Her physical form is more voluptuous, accentuating her transformation into a darker, more powerful version of herself. These changes highlight her transition from the innocent, kind-hearted woman she once was to a more dangerous and possessive figure.
Her appearance shifts in line with her personality changes. As a human, Annette is warm-hearted, strong-willed, and protective of her loved ones, particularly Maria and Richter. However, upon her transformation into a vampire, her once-gentle demeanor is replaced with cruelty and possessiveness. She now relishes in her new vampiric abilities, taking pleasure in tormenting others, including Maria and Richter. Annette even refers to Dracula with reverence, acknowledging the power he has granted her. Her twisted love for Richter is manifested in her desire to turn him into a vampire, forcing him into a bond that would ensure they are together forever, regardless of his wishes.
