'''Maria Renard''' was a young woman born of the Renard Clan in the small town of Aljiba. Despite only being 12 years old, Maria was extremely talented in combat and was able to harness powerful animal spirits to help protect her. Her Clan was a legendary Clan that had once assisted the powerful Belmont family; granting Desmond Belmont doves to help him fight.
'''Maria Renard''' was a young woman born of the Renard Clan in the small town of Aljiba. Despite only being 12 years old, Maria was extremely talented in combat and was able to harness powerful animal spirits to help protect her. Her Clan was a legendary Clan that had once assisted the powerful Belmont family; granting [[Desmond Belmont]] doves to help him fight. Maria herself is even a Belmont.


However, one day, Aljiba was raided by Dracula’s forces upon his resurrection, and she, along with several other female villagers, were kidnapped and locked away in Dracula’s Castle. Thankfully, rushing in as fast as he could, the prodigious Richter Belmont came to rescue everyone.
However, one day, Aljiba was raided by [[Dracula (Castlevania)|Dracula]]’s forces upon his resurrection, and she, along with several other female villagers, were kidnapped and locked away in Dracula’s Castle. Thankfully, rushing in as fast as he could, the prodigious [[Richter Belmont]] came to rescue everyone.


Upon rescuing Maria, Richter insisted that she head back to the safety of the town, but she refused. Knowing that she could be of incredible help to Richter, Maria pleaded that she come along until he finally gave in and allowed for her to. Becoming a pair, Maria and Richter tore their way through Dracula’s Castle even faster than before.

Becoming a pair, Maria and Richter tore their way through [[Dracula’s Castle]] even faster than before.


At last, the two made their way into Dracula’s Throne room, where Maria stood back while Richter faced off against the Dark Lord. She pitched in sometimes to help heal Richter and empower him, finally allowing for Dracula’s defeat.

Line 31: Line 52:
With the Dark Lord finally being defeated, Richter and Maria fled the castle as it crumbled behind them. The fight was over, and everyone was saved. Three years would pass, and Maria would continue her training as a vampire hunter.  
With the Dark Lord finally being defeated, Richter and Maria fled the castle as it crumbled behind them. The fight was over, and everyone was saved. Three years would pass, and Maria would continue her training as a vampire hunter.  


One day, however, Maria sensed unease among her animal companions, and ventured into a forest to get answers. Before she knew it, a time vortex appeared before her and she was sucked in. A mysterious man named Aeon appeared, telling Maria of a plot by Galamoth, who has summoned a creature called the Time Reaper to destroy the Castlevania Timeline.

A mysterious man named [[Aeon (Castlevania)|Aeon]] appeared, telling Maria of a plot by Galamoth, who has summoned a creature called the [[Time Reaper]] to destroy the [[Castlevania Timeline]].


Agreeing to stop anything that she viewed as evil and a threat to the existence of her friends, Maria fought her way through the Time Rift, and faced off against several legendary fighters; including the ancestors of her friend Richter, Simon and Trevor Belmont. At last, she was able to face off against the Time Reaper itself, slaying it and concluding Galamoth’s evil plot.

Maria was sucked back through the Time Rift and returned to her own time, only to find that Richter Belmont had mysteriously vanished. Nearly two years passed since Richter’s disappearance, and the 17 year old Maria was quick to notice that Dracula’s Castle had risen once again.

Feeling that this may be linked to Richter’s disappearance, Maria ventured into the Castle, and ran into a man named Alucard. Maria found Alucard extremely mysterious and intriguing, thankful for his help but also developing some feelings for him. Before anything could be done, however, Alucard found Richter, and discovered that he had been placed under the possession of the dark priest Shaft, who made Richter become the Dark Lord of Dracula’s Castle.

Alucard fought Richter in an intense battle, managing to defeat him and free him from his possession. While Alucard went ahead to face off against Count Dracula, Maria took the shaken Richter and brought him outside of the Castle.

Line 45: Line 66:
Maria’s future is completely unknown, although it is likely that her feelings for Alucard were unrequited. She would nonetheless go down in history as a powerful vampire hunter, on the same caliber as a member of the Belmont Clan.

===Suzaku Call (A + B)===
[[File:J_Suzaku_Call_Maria.gif|center]]
Maria can call Suzaku's name and it imbues her owl with flames. The owl perched inside Maria's cage staff flies and spins Maria around, leaving a large trail of flames in its path.
===Genbu Call (Left Stick + A + B)===
[[File:J_Genbu_Call_Maria.gif|center]]
Calls forth a giant turtle shell which falls on her opponent. It is the only attack that does not involve a direct attack by her owl Osca, who instead covers his eyes with his feathers during the whole ordeal.
===Byakko Call (A + B)===
[[File:J_Byakko_Call_Maria.gif|center|]]
Summons the spirit of the Cat into her owl, Osca, after Maria has jumped. The cat then compels the Owl to dive down to the ground, smashing Maria into the ground in the process.
===Hold on a Minute (Right Trigger + A + B)===
[[File:Hold-on-a-Minute.gif|center]]
The follow-up to Byakko Call, in which the owl is compelled to fly low to the ground straight forward like a cat running on the ground, running into her opponent.
===Seiryuu Call (Charge A + B - also aerial)===
[[File:J_Seiryuu_Call_Maria.gif|center]]
Maria imbues the owl with the power of Seiryuu, allowing her to form a massive wave to attack opponents with.
===Guardian Knuckle (Left Trigger + B)===
[[File:Guardian-Knuckle.gif|center]]
Maria summons a guardian spirit that delivers multiple punches on the opponent.

===Everybody, All Together Now!===
[[File:Everybody,-All-Together-Now.gif|center]]
In ''Castlevania Judgment'', Maria Renard’s Super Finisher, "Everybody, All Together Now," sees her channeling the power of the Four Sacred Beasts. As she calls, “Come on everybody, give me your strength,” her owl absorbs their combined might. Maria charges her enemy with the owl in its cage, but the surge of power overwhelms her, causing her to stumble and release it. The owl escapes, rockets through the air, and launches a powerful dive attack on her opponent before landing humorously on her head.

===Summon Four Holy Beasts===
[[File:Saturn_Holy_Beasts.gif|center]]
In ''Castlevania: Symphony of the Night'', Maria Renard can summon the Four Holy Beasts—Suzaku, the fire bird; Genbu, the turtle; Seiryuu, the dragon; and Byakko, the white tiger—to grant temporary invincibility to herself or an ally. During the "Final Stage: Bloodlines" prelude, she casts this spell if Richter loses all his health while facing Dracula. Maria continues her prayer throughout the fight, sustaining the spell’s effect, which prevents Richter from taking damage until he defeats Dracula. In the Sega Saturn version, the playable Maria can activate this spell on herself by executing a complex input sequence (↑↗→↘↓↙←↖↑ [hold] ↓ + [ATTACK]). For around 34 seconds, she becomes invincible, inflicting damage simply by making contact with enemies. During this time, her Drop Kick, High Jump, Slide, and sub-weapons deal twice their usual damage.
===Item Crashes===
[[File:DXC_Dragon_2.gif|center]]
Item Crashes are a technique utilized by Maria that allow her to use special attacks with her sub-weapons. Performing an item crash takes more hearts then normally taken from the subweapon however in return the attack is capable of killing most enemies and greatly reducing a boss' health.


The item crashes are as follow:
====Summon Suzaku====
{{#tag:tabber|

{{!}}-{{!}}Symphony of the Night=[[File:SOTN_Cardinal_2.gif|center]]
}}
{{Quote|Two light-hitting red birds fly upwards at an angle to attack foes.}}
The great bird Suzaku is summoned, picks up Maria and fires a shower of fireballs all over the screen in a similar way to Richter's Hydro Storm. In ''Symphony of the Night'', an armored great bird appears behind Maria, firing 20 pairs of fireballs in arcs above and below her at enemies.
====Summon Byakko====

{{!}}-{{!}}The Dracula X Chornicles=[[File:DXC_Cat_2.gif|center]]
{{!}}-{{!}}Symphony of the Night=[[File:SOTN_Cat_2.gif|center]]
}}
A white tiger appears to pick up Maria and runs over an enemy on his level, damaging it. In ''Symphony of the Night'', a white tiger appears behind Maria for about 5 seconds. Every time she attacks with her owls while it's present, it will also swipe its claws in front of her, similar to the Vorpal Blade and Crissaegrim.
====Summon Seriyuu====
{{#tag:tabber|
{{!}}-{{!}}The Dracula X Chornicles=[[File:DXC_Dragon_2.gif|center]]
{{!}}-{{!}}Symphony of the Night=[[File:SOTN_Dragon_2.gif|center]]
}}
{{Quote|Sends a powerful dragon flying forward to attack enemies.}}
A big dragon covers about all the screen, dealing big damage to all enemies. However, its Heart cost is very high. In ''Symphony of the Night'' a big dragon circles around Maria and through enemies for 5 seconds before flying off the screen.
====Summon Genbu====
{{#tag:tabber|
{{!}}-{{!}}The Dracula X Chornicles=[[File:DXC_Turtle_2.gif|center]]
{{!}}-{{!}}Symphony of the Night=[[File:SOTN_Turtle_2.gif|center]]
}}
{{Quote|Covers the player in a turtle's shell, leaving them slow but invincible.}}
A big turtle will appear from the background, damaging all enemies on screen. In ''Symphony of the Night'', a stone turtle appears in the middle of a large vortex for about 5 seconds. The vortex itself has a Soul Steal effect, with the turtle absorbing the life energy of enemies within it. After disappearing, the turtle's absorbed energy would transfer to Maria, healing her. Maria summons all of her animal friends to either herself or an ally, granting invulnerability and heightened power.
====Guardian Knuckle====
{{#tag:Tabber|
{{!}}-{{!}}The Dracula X Chronicles=[[File:DXC_Guardian_Knuckle.gif|center]]
{{!}}-{{!}}Symphony of the Night=[[File:SOTN_Guardian_Knuckle.gif|center]]
}}
Maria summons a guardian who delivers a flurry of punches in front of her.
====Songbook====
[[File:DXC_Book_of_Music_2.gif|center]]
Twelve musical notes will appear all over the screen and stay there for several seconds, dealing continuous damage to enemies that touch them before disappearing.
====Egg====
[[File:DXC_Egg_2.gif|center]]
Maria will drop an egg, which breaks open and a circle of birds emerges from it, with a red bird in the center of them. They will then fly off to one side of the screen, damaging all enemies in their path.
====Key====
[[File:DXC_Key_4.gif|center]]
Maria will hold the key up in the air, but it does nothing, however, any enemies that touch her will be harmed by contact damage.

==Trivia==
*Maria's surname, ''[[wiktionary:renard|renard]]'', means "fox" in French.
[[File:Maria - Frankenstein (1931) - 01.jpg|thumb|Little Maria from ''[[wikipedia:Frankenstein (1931 film)|Frankenstein]]''.<br />(Universal Pictures, 1931)]]
*Maria's original design in ''[[Castlevania: Rondo of Blood]]'' was possibly inspired by the minor character "Little Maria" (played by [[wikipedia:Marilyn Harris (actress)|Marilyn Harris]]) from the 1931 horror film, ''[[wikipedia:Frankenstein (1931 film)|Frankenstein]]''. Maria is a little girl the creature befriends but who also accidentally kills. Maria Renard bears a striking resemblance to the film character: both are around the same age, have long hair styled in big curls, and wear a similar dress; and while the film is in black and white, it is believed Little Maria's dress was also pink (although apparently she had brown hair instead of blond). However, if Maria Renard is actually inspired by the film character is unconfirmed.
*Her alternate appearance in the ''Gekkan PC Engine'' magazine is apparently based on her sprite from ''Rondo of Blood''. This design also appears on the ''[[Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin|Portrait of Ruin]]'' images and is used as the basis for her appearance in ''[[Castlevania: Harmony of Despair|Harmony of Despair]]''.

*Her sprite in ''[[Castlevania: Dracula X|Dracula X]]'' is modified from her ''Rondo of Blood'' version with a different hairstyle. However, the dress color is different from the one in the instruction booklet.
*It seems Maria's sprite from the canceled game "''[[Castlevania: The Bloodletting]]''" may have been modified into Salome in ''[[Castlevania: Symphony of the Night]]''.

*In ''Symphony of the Night'', Maria is referred as [[Richter Belmont]]'s [https://www.vgmuseum.com/mrp/cv-sotn/packing/CVSotNpsxJPN_05-06.jpg sister-in-law]. After a newer version of the official timeline was released, it was stated that Maria is adopted by the [[Belmont Clan|Belmont]] family,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150525003055/http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/dracula/product/data.html ''Akumajō Dracula'' timeline at Konami.jp]</ref> explaining how she became Richter's adopted sister. Maria [https://youtu.be/wC1EKRCUooA?t=2995 herself is naturally a Belmont as games such as] ''Grimoire of Soul'' and in ''Rondo of Blood'', [[Dracula (Castlevania)|Dracula]] [https://youtu.be/PJgT6VnT2vU?list=PLulo-Zq9UbyUejrczTYUXBfNXP7SuXVn4&t=770 calls Maria "the blood of Belmont"].
**Note that the Japanese term "義妹" (''gimai'') could refer to either "sister-in-law" and "adopted sister".
*Even though the US PlayStation version of ''Symphony of the Night'' profile indicates she had no relation to the Belmonts, the original ''Rondo of Blood'' [https://www.vgmuseum.com/mrp/Manuals/rob-page7.jpg instruction booklet does indicate she did have ties to them]. This was reasserted in the North American instruction booklets of ''Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles''<ref>[https://www.vgmuseum.com/mrp/cv-rob/tdxc/manual-page3.jpg Page 04 of the North American instruction booklet for ''Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles'']</ref> and ''[[Castlevania Judgment]]''.<ref>[https://www.vgmuseum.com/mrp/cv-judgment/scans/manual14.jpgPage 21 of the North American instruction booklet for ''Castlevania Judgment'']</ref>
*In ''[[Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles|The Dracula X Chronicles]]'', young Maria is wearing what looks like a boy's outfit, when other designs of her have always featured more feminine dresses or skirts.
*Maria was originally mentioned to be prepared for a sacrificial ritual in the instruction booklet for ''Rondo of Blood''. In the remake, this was changed to [[Shaft]] unlocking her latent abilities in an attempt to get her to serve [[Dracula (Castlevania)|Dracula]]. This revision is also apparent in Maria's ''Judgment'' appearance.
*Maria's voice actress in ''The Dracula X Chronicles'' and its portable games, Michelle Ruff, also provided the voice of [[Shanoa]] in ''[[Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia]]''.
*In ''Castlevania Judgment'', Maria is said to have become orphaned since her parents were killed by Dracula<ref>[https://www.vgmuseum.com/mrp/cv-judgment/scans/manual14.jpgPage 21 of the North American instruction booklet for ''Castlevania Judgment'']</ref>. This comes from the remake of ''Rondo of Blood'', in which [https://youtu.be/ZBMqXk70Qsc?t=91 she says her parents were killed] but never reveals by who or when.
*The ''Judgment'' version of Maria Renard was not well received by fans, mostly due to her abuse in comic relief, as well as her fixation on other female characters' anatomy, which made her appear hollow and unpleasant compared to her good nature and brave personality presented in the rest of her appearances.
*Both of Maria's English and Japanese voice actresses in ''Castlevania Judgment'', Philece Sampler and Miyu Matsuki, respectively, have already passed away.
*The ending for the first ''[[Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls]]'' trailer features Maria singing with several cartoonish penguins (including Penta) dancing along, referring to the MSX game ''[[w:c:antarctic-adventure:Penguin Adventure|Penguin Adventure]]'', where after beating the [[w:c:antarctic-adventure:Freezaurus|Freezaurus]], they execute a similar dance.
*When [[Simon Belmont]] and [[Genya Arikado]] first meet the younger version of Maria, Genya mentions that Maria and he (as [[Alucard (Castlevania)|Alucard]]) once fought each other, referencing the [[Castlevania: Symphony of the Night|Sega Saturn]] and ''The Dracula X Chronicles'' versions of ''Symphony of the Night'', which featured an additional boss battle against Maria just before fighting [[Richter Belmont]].
*Maria does not appear in the Beta version of ''[[Castlevania: Moonlight Rhapsody]]'', other than in artwork.

This character or verse has mature themes and concepts, thus those of young age are ill-advised to look through these.


“ I don't know what you mean, but I know you hurt a lot of people. No matter what you say, that's wrong! „
~ Maria Renard to Count Dracula

Background

Maria Renard was a young woman born of the Renard Clan in the small town of Aljiba. Despite only being 12 years old, Maria was extremely talented in combat and was able to harness powerful animal spirits to help protect her. Her Clan was a legendary Clan that had once assisted the powerful Belmont family; granting Desmond Belmont doves to help him fight. Maria herself is even a Belmont.

However, one day, Aljiba was raided by Dracula’s forces upon his resurrection, and she, along with several other female villagers, were kidnapped and locked away in Dracula’s Castle. Thankfully, rushing in as fast as he could, the prodigious Richter Belmont came to rescue everyone.

Upon rescuing Maria, Richter insisted that she head back to the safety of the town, but she refused. Knowing that she could be of incredible help to Richter, Maria pleaded that she come along until he finally gave in and allowed for her to. Becoming a pair, Maria and Richter tore their way through Dracula’s Castle even faster than before.

At last, the two made their way into Dracula’s Throne room, where Maria stood back while Richter faced off against the Dark Lord. She pitched in sometimes to help heal Richter and empower him, finally allowing for Dracula’s defeat.

With the Dark Lord finally being defeated, Richter and Maria fled the castle as it crumbled behind them. The fight was over, and everyone was saved. Three years would pass, and Maria would continue her training as a vampire hunter.

One day, however, Maria sensed unease among her animal companions, and ventured into a forest to get answers. Before she knew it, a time vortex appeared before her and she was sucked in. A mysterious man named Aeon appeared, telling Maria of a plot by Galamoth, who has summoned a creature called the Time Reaper to destroy the Castlevania Timeline.

Agreeing to stop anything that she viewed as evil and a threat to the existence of her friends, Maria fought her way through the Time Rift, and faced off against several legendary fighters; including the ancestors of her friend Richter, Simon Belmont and Trevor Belmont. At last, she was able to face off against the Time Reaper itself, slaying it and concluding Galamoth’s evil plot.

Maria was sucked back through the Time Rift and returned to her own time, only to find that Richter Belmont had mysteriously vanished. Nearly two years passed since Richter’s disappearance, and the 17 year old Maria was quick to notice that Dracula’s Castle had risen once again.

Feeling that this may be linked to Richter’s disappearance, Maria ventured into the Castle, and ran into a man named Alucard. Maria found Alucard extremely mysterious and intriguing, thankful for his help but also developing some feelings for him. Before anything could be done, however, Alucard found Richter, and discovered that he had been placed under the possession of the dark priest Shaft, who made Richter become the Dark Lord of Dracula’s Castle.

Alucard fought Richter in an intense battle, managing to defeat him and free him from his possession. While Alucard went ahead to face off against Count Dracula, Maria took the shaken Richter and brought him outside of the Castle.

Once Alucard killed Dracula and the Castle started to crumble away, he appeared to Maria and Richter to say his parting words. However, Maria had developed feelings for Alucard, and chased after him after encouragement from Richter.

Maria’s future is completely unknown, although it is likely that her feelings for Alucard were unrequited. She would nonetheless go down in history as a powerful vampire hunter, on the same caliber as a member of the Belmont Clan.

Everybody, All Together Now!

In Castlevania Judgment, Maria Renard’s Super Finisher, "Everybody, All Together Now," sees her channeling the power of the Four Sacred Beasts. As she calls, “Come on everybody, give me your strength,” her owl absorbs their combined might. Maria charges her enemy with the owl in its cage, but the surge of power overwhelms her, causing her to stumble and release it. The owl escapes, rockets through the air, and launches a powerful dive attack on her opponent before landing humorously on her head.

Summon Four Holy Beasts

In Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Maria Renard can summon the Four Holy Beasts—Suzaku, the fire bird; Genbu, the turtle; Seiryuu, the dragon; and Byakko, the white tiger—to grant temporary invincibility to herself or an ally. During the "Final Stage: Bloodlines" prelude, she casts this spell if Richter loses all his health while facing Dracula. Maria continues her prayer throughout the fight, sustaining the spell’s effect, which prevents Richter from taking damage until he defeats Dracula. In the Sega Saturn version, the playable Maria can activate this spell on herself by executing a complex input sequence (↑↗→↘↓↙←↖↑ [hold] ↓ + [ATTACK]). For around 34 seconds, she becomes invincible, inflicting damage simply by making contact with enemies. During this time, her Drop Kick, High Jump, Slide, and sub-weapons deal twice their usual damage.

Item Crashes

Item Crashes are a technique utilized by Maria that allow her to use special attacks with her sub-weapons. Performing an item crash takes more hearts then normally taken from the subweapon however in return the attack is capable of killing most enemies and greatly reducing a boss' health.

The item crashes are as follow:

Summon Suzaku

“ Two light-hitting red birds fly upwards at an angle to attack foes. „

The great bird Suzaku is summoned, picks up Maria and fires a shower of fireballs all over the screen in a similar way to Richter's Hydro Storm. In Symphony of the Night, an armored great bird appears behind Maria, firing 20 pairs of fireballs in arcs above and below her at enemies.

Summon Byakko

A white tiger appears to pick up Maria and runs over an enemy on his level, damaging it. In Symphony of the Night, a white tiger appears behind Maria for about 5 seconds. Every time she attacks with her owls while it's present, it will also swipe its claws in front of her, similar to the Vorpal Blade and Crissaegrim.

Summon Seriyuu

“ Sends a powerful dragon flying forward to attack enemies. „

A big dragon covers about all the screen, dealing big damage to all enemies. However, its Heart cost is very high. In Symphony of the Night a big dragon circles around Maria and through enemies for 5 seconds before flying off the screen.

Summon Genbu

“ Covers the player in a turtle's shell, leaving them slow but invincible. „

A big turtle will appear from the background, damaging all enemies on screen. In Symphony of the Night, a stone turtle appears in the middle of a large vortex for about 5 seconds. The vortex itself has a Soul Steal effect, with the turtle absorbing the life energy of enemies within it. After disappearing, the turtle's absorbed energy would transfer to Maria, healing her. Maria summons all of her animal friends to either herself or an ally, granting invulnerability and heightened power.

Guardian Knuckle

Maria summons a guardian who delivers a flurry of punches in front of her.

Songbook

Twelve musical notes will appear all over the screen and stay there for several seconds, dealing continuous damage to enemies that touch them before disappearing.

Egg

Maria will drop an egg, which breaks open and a circle of birds emerges from it, with a red bird in the center of them. They will then fly off to one side of the screen, damaging all enemies in their path.

Key

Maria will hold the key up in the air, but it does nothing, however, any enemies that touch her will be harmed by contact damage.

Other

Standard Tactics: Maria will utilize her animal friends in combat, along with her own magic attacks and sub-weapons that best suit the situation.

Weaknesses: Maria has a weakness to the darkness element[202].

Note

Trivia

  • Maria's surname, renard, means "fox" in French.
Little Maria from Frankenstein.
(Universal Pictures, 1931)
  • Maria's original design in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood was possibly inspired by the minor character "Little Maria" (played by Marilyn Harris) from the 1931 horror film, Frankenstein. Maria is a little girl the creature befriends but who also accidentally kills. Maria Renard bears a striking resemblance to the film character: both are around the same age, have long hair styled in big curls, and wear a similar dress; and while the film is in black and white, it is believed Little Maria's dress was also pink (although apparently she had brown hair instead of blond). However, if Maria Renard is actually inspired by the film character is unconfirmed.
  • Her alternate appearance in the Gekkan PC Engine magazine is apparently based on her sprite from Rondo of Blood. This design also appears on the Portrait of Ruin images and is used as the basis for her appearance in Harmony of Despair.
  • In Symphony of the Night, Maria is referred as Richter Belmont's sister-in-law. After a newer version of the official timeline was released, it was stated that Maria is adopted by the Belmont family,[206] explaining how she became Richter's adopted sister. Maria herself is naturally a Belmont as games such as Grimoire of Soul and in Rondo of Blood, Dracula calls Maria "the blood of Belmont".
    • Note that the Japanese term "義妹" (gimai) could refer to either "sister-in-law" and "adopted sister".
  • Even though the US PlayStation version of Symphony of the Night profile indicates she had no relation to the Belmonts, the original Rondo of Blood instruction booklet does indicate she did have ties to them. This was reasserted in the North American instruction booklets of Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles[207] and Castlevania Judgment.[208]
  • In The Dracula X Chronicles, young Maria is wearing what looks like a boy's outfit, when other designs of her have always featured more feminine dresses or skirts.
  • Maria was originally mentioned to be prepared for a sacrificial ritual in the instruction booklet for Rondo of Blood. In the remake, this was changed to Shaft unlocking her latent abilities in an attempt to get her to serve Dracula. This revision is also apparent in Maria's Judgment appearance.
  • Maria's voice actress in The Dracula X Chronicles and its portable games, Michelle Ruff, also provided the voice of Shanoa in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.
  • In Castlevania Judgment, Maria is said to have become orphaned since her parents were killed by Dracula[209]. This comes from the remake of Rondo of Blood, in which she says her parents were killed but never reveals by who or when.
  • The Judgment version of Maria Renard was not well received by fans, mostly due to her abuse in comic relief, as well as her fixation on other female characters' anatomy, which made her appear hollow and unpleasant compared to her good nature and brave personality presented in the rest of her appearances.
  • Both of Maria's English and Japanese voice actresses in Castlevania Judgment, Philece Sampler and Miyu Matsuki, respectively, have already passed away.
  • The ending for the first Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls trailer features Maria singing with several cartoonish penguins (including Penta) dancing along, referring to the MSX game Penguin Adventure, where after beating the Freezaurus, they execute a similar dance.
  • When Simon Belmont and Genya Arikado first meet the younger version of Maria, Genya mentions that Maria and he (as Alucard) once fought each other, referencing the Sega Saturn and The Dracula X Chronicles versions of Symphony of the Night, which featured an additional boss battle against Maria just before fighting Richter Belmont.
  • Maria does not appear in the Beta version of Castlevania: Moonlight Rhapsody, other than in artwork.

  135. ↑ Akumajo Dracula: Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku Novel “I had said it before. I do not intend to bind the world with chaos.”
    “…… If so, why did you take power away from the crack in the eclipse’s seal? If you just intend to imitate like a monkey, isn’t your own power enough?”
    Those were the emotionless words of Death.
    In response, Olrox laughed his bold answer.
    “As I’ve said, I would equally gain control over the human world and the source of Dracula’s power, chaos. I do not intend to obey someone else’s mind aside from my own. That includes you who were born out of chaos.”
    “……”
    “You should be glad though to know yourself. Just by stealing power, my shameful monotonous time is over…… Even before Alucard appeared, just because I showed up and declared war on him.”
    Olrox’s voice was mixed with a tinge of thin delight. He respectfully bowed to Death who completely killed his emotions.
    “I would end the reincarnation cycle of this demon castle. I who understood and was spun out of the stains of chaos, swear to rob that power with my hands. Now, yield.”
    With Death’s reply, an explosive murderous intent rose.
    Two bronze colored scythes much larger than usual appeared; it advanced to the space in between the two men with an intention to cut off Olrox’s head.
    Kill the distance-----
    Kill the sound-----
    Just, faster, soon, die.
    It can be seen that the blades have certainly caught Olrox’s neck, but----- that is only an after image and the vampire is already at Death’s back.
    “……die.”
    That was said by the enemy who called on his servants.
    From the surrounding space, a group of purple bats rose, passed by Olrox’s arm with the speed of a bullet, attacking Death. However, Death did not show any gesture of avoiding them. He simply faced Olrox and sprayed out numerous scythes.
    The bats and scythes cancelled each other out and the entire dance hall sparkled with blood."

    There was definitely no room for doubt. It is certain that the [castle] exists at the back of the mountains. The church’s greatest vampire hunter, Julius Belmont must be contacted. However, the conversation jumped into the matter of the disappearance of several village children."
  154. ↑ Akumajo Dracula: Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku "A drawbridge suspended from the main gate is seemingly welcoming Michelle’s arrival.
    And her body was telling her [do not go] as her leg muscles were petrified like stone."

    That really is no doubt an obsession.
    The youth had more than 28 holes penetrating his limbs and body. His heart is already starting to fail and he is desperately trying to say something amidst the darkness.
    “Only…… protect…… you……-----“
    When he said those words he must say, the man’s soul already left his body-----becoming one of the floating spirits that wander the halls of the castle.
    However-----
    Fate did not allow it.
    For those people who are involved with the demon castle, even the loneliness of death seemed half hearted-----
    The man’s soul is pierced by a small scythe that flew in from somewhere. That scythe did not exist physically. It was a diabolic blade created by some magic and possessed a strong soul."
