Background

Leila is the direct descendant of Alucard from an alternate timeline, from the 1990 choose-your-own-adventure novel, called The Legend of Satanic Castle: The Vampire Hunters. Hailing in Transylvania much like his ancestors, Sid quickly became partners with the descendants of the Three Legendary Heroes from Trevor Belmont’s era; Sid Belmont (descendant of Trevor Belmont), Row Danasty (descendant of Grant Danasty), and Zouk Belnades (descendant of Sypha Belnades).

Being directly related to Alucard, and thus also his father Count Dracula, Leila is part-vampire. Despite this, she fights for the light, and is constantly seen wearing a cross around her neck, which emits holy light. Long after Dracula's defeat at the hands of Trevor Belmont, his resurrection came under way. Feeling responsible for the Count's evil due to her familial bond with him, she set out alongside her friends to destroy him.

Dimensionality: 3-D

Attack Potency: Town level (Potency) (Can fight and defeat Dracula, who serves as the absolute evil, the opposite to God, where for God to be perfectly good, there must be a being of perfect darkness, being the entity opposite to God, with such power making him far superior to Golem from Castlevania Judgment, as he died to a random unknown hunter after his return from the time rift. Golem with his ultimate can shoot out a mouth blast that vaporizes everything it touches as far as the eye can see getting these results), Far Higher with Sheer Will (Simon claims that the Belmonts and Morrises did not defeat Dracula because of the Vampire Killer, with the reason behind heroes' capacity to fight against evil lying not in their physical strength but the noble desire to drive away evil and usher in all that is good, the desire to protect the world for all of humanity, with the courage to fight to protect others being the true essence of a hero and a Belmont's strength, with this even applying for other heroes such as Shanoa, Maria, Charlotte, and even Arikado. Alucard notes that having something to protect surpasses the limits of strength)

Durability: Town level, Far Higher with Sheer Will

Striking Strength: Town Class (Potency), Far Higher with Sheer Will

Lifting Strength: At least Class 10 (Vampires are considered far larger threats than the standard creature of the night monsters, which should make them superior to Hector's Battle-Type innocent devils who can move entire tree logs that are blocking roads out of the way where logs can weigh around 15 to 5 tons and Hector's battle-type innocent devils can lift open large iron doors that "no man could force open"), Far Higher with Sheer Will

Travel Speed: Superhuman regularly, At most Faster Than Light at top speeds (Vampires can move so fast that the light itself cannot keep up with them, leaving an afterimage behind, along with Belmonts such as Juste Belmont, moving so fast that the light afterimage behind him cannot keep up.

Attack Speed: At most Faster Than Light (Can tag Dracula, who serves as the absolute evil, the opposite to God, where for God to be perfectly good, there must be a being of perfect darkness, being the entity opposite to God, making him faster then enemies such as the Sky Fish who moves so fast that it appears as a beam of light and is only slowed down when time is stopped and the White Demon, who can move at the speed of light at short distances), Far Higher with Sheer Will

Reaction Speed: At most Faster Than Light, Far Higher with Sheer Will

Stamina: Limitless (Vampires are loved by the night, making them so powerful that vampires like Walter Bernhard never been defeated before Leon Belmont gained the vampire killer. Went on a large journey, making several acquaintances and fighting supremely powerful monsters such as a Cyclops, Skull Knight, Dragon, and Count Dracula himself, all without rest)

Range: Standard Melee

Intelligence: Genius Intelligence (Able to utilize sub-weapons that possess great attack and power which in Castlevania requires one to have a high intelligence to be able to do)

Standard Abilities Granted From MagicUnique Abilities

Magic & Principle Manipulation (Through utilizing magic, one has to have a deep understanding of Quantum Physics to utilize it to its fullest, requiring understandings of theories such as "Curse Amplification". Magic comes from alchemy, a field that experiments with the principles of God's creation of the world, along with being said to be as great a task as recreating God's creation of the Earth), Non-Standard Interaction (Extra-Planar Interaction; Magic is able to interact with beings such as Camilla Fernandez, Physical attacks are difficult to land as Camilla lives in the Astral plane, and her earthly body is completely ethereal), Limited Immersion & Dimensional Travel (3+1-D; Magic users can align their magic with the magic of another to enter into painting worlds), Summoning (Magic can be used in order to summon weapons and items inscribed in grimoires), Soul Manipulation (Yoko through the use of magic discovered a new ability to draw the monster souls out and use them)

Sheer Will (Simon claims that the Belmonts and Morrises did not defeat Dracula because of the Vampire Killer, with the reason behind heroes' capacity to fight against evil lying not in their physical strength but the noble desire to drive away evil and usher in all that is good, the desire to protect the world for all of humanity, with the courage to fight to protect others being the true essence of a hero and a Belmont's strength, with this even applying for other heroes such as Shanoa, Maria, Charlotte, and even Arikado. Alucard notes that having something to protect surpasses the limits of strength), Energy Absorption (Leila can get hearts out of objects and enemies, where hearts are a measure of one's stored energy, thus one is absorbing energy when gaining hearts)

Blessed & Holy Manipulation (With Cross, a cross necklace that Leila carries around blessed with holy powers, shines brightly to repel the creatures of the night)

---

Equipment

• Cross: A cross necklace that Leila carries around, blessed with holy powers. It shines brightly to repel the creatures of the night.
• Map: A map of the Transylvanian countryside that Sid Belmont's party obtains, complete with location names, a compass, and the route towards Dracula’s location.

---

Notable Techniques

• Blood Draining: Vampires can bite and drink the blood of their victims. Blood acts as a source of energy and life for vampires and creatures of the night, an example of this being Red Skeletons who endlessly regenerate, from any kind of damage due to it absorbing blood.
• Transformation: Vampires are able to turn into bats, wolves, fog, and other sorts of creatures as they please.
• Super Strength: Vampires are incredibly superhumanly strong, even for the average creature of the night, being noted to be stronger than even Werewolves.
• Super Speed: Vampires can move incredibly fast, to where all of them leave behind light projections due to how fast they're moving, while they can control their speeds even to approach speeds such as sound. They are normally beyond even other creatures in the castle such as the White Demon who moves at the speed of light at top speed.

Other

Standard Tactics: Leila utilizes vampire techniques along with holy powers for attacks.

Weaknesses

• Creature of the Night Weaknesses: Creatures of the night become weaker when exposed to the morning sun. Garlic significantly weakens creatures of the night, and causes demons to die if its placed on the ground. If a vital soul is defeated, the grimoire will revert back to its original content.
• Standard Vampire Weaknesses: After a vampire is sufficiently weakened, the sunlight can kill them. Otherwise Vampires can stand out in the sunlight just fine. Though some weaker vampires can have the sun burn them overtime, killing them. Oak Stakes are able to break through the magic of a weakened vampire. Defeating a vampire will stop the effects of someone they have bitten, but only before they've turned. This is shown in Harmony of Dissonance where through Juste killing Dracula's Wraith, the bite marks on Lydie have vanished. Vampires reflections do not appear on mirrors, making them easier to identify. Vampires are noted to be weak during the dawn.

• Unique Weaknesses: Nothing notable.

Note

• Contrary to popular belief, holy attacks and the whips in Castlevania can affect and harm people that aren't apart of the creatures of the night. Leon's doppelganger can use holy water and holy attacks against him in this fight along with the alchemy whip despite Leon being a pure and noble warrior. Simon's doppelganger can harm him with the vampire killer, despite Simon being a noble hero. Holy Water even works and harms enemies such as the "Holy Armor", a knight who has natural holy powers. Corrupted enemies such as Charlie Vincent, use holy water attacks on Carrie and Reinhardt. Characters like Jonathan Morris wear armor like the Holy Mail, an armor that reduces damage from holy attacks.
• As the events of this novel take place after Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, it is assumed safe to scale it to the mainline feats.
• The novel has not officially been translated or had a full fan translation, thus not much information can be grabbed from it at this moment in time.
• While vampires have some weakness to sunlight and can burn overtime in them, higher tier vampires, can stand out in the sunlight just fine without being weakened. It should also be noted even with Dhamphir's like Alucard, in original lore, he was considered a full vampire yet could stand out in the sunlight perfectly fine.

Codex Statistics Questions

Q: Shouldn't the characters be around tier 2 for defeating the Time Reaper who would've destroyed the very fabric of time, attempted to destroy the specific era of time, cause all beings everywhere to disappear, forever and that the age was on the verge of collapse?

A: We actually never get a direct outright method of Time Reaper's plan for doing this, from what Aeon mentions to Golem, if the Time Rift is not erased, all beings everywhere will disappear, forever, implying that it's the Time Rift causing this, this is further backed up by the fact that in Time Reaper's boss fight, there is a vortex in the background consuming everything, meaning this is an overtime feat that scales to no one physically.

Q: Shouldn't they get tier 2 for Dracula's influence destabilizing the flow of time?

A: This is a potent ability but has nothing to do with Attack Potency, there is no quantification for "destabilizing the flow of time", along with this, even if it was taken as physically, then it would be overtime as the effects are not noticeable throughout most of Curse of Darkness.

Q: Shouldn't Dracula and by proxy anyone that scales to him get tier 2 for him being able to sustain his castle?

A: This goes under our Stabilization Feats standards, which treats sustaining feats are non-combat applicable Attack Potency normally, though in Dracula's case the Castle is speficially powered by the existence of a Dark Lord, and doesn't necessarily need their strength to rise. In the Castlevania novel, the castle rose without a Dark Lord as an example. Along with this, no one scales to the collapse of the castle, in Curse of Darkness Hector would've died to the collapse of the castle if Julia didn't come save him, and Isaac died within the castle. In other cases the Castle does not collapse, but instead slowly fades away. At the end of Dawn of Sorrow Soma Cruz and Genya Arikado (aka Alucard must escape the collapsing abyss.

Q: Shouldn't Castlevania characters that scale to Death have Infinite speed due to Death being able to kill distance itself with his attacks?

A: Killing distance to attack is not a speed feat, it's a method of Spatial Manipulation by circumventing and ignoring distance, while one can say the attack spawns on you instantly, this is not really something quantifiable. Along with this, it would only scale to characters comparable to Death during post-Dawn of Sorrow, as Soma notes Death is far faster than he remembered from his fight with him in Dawn of Sorrow.
