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

“	She was a Fernandez too, a warrior who came to fight the dark lord. We took her alive, and made her a vampire. [...] She had great spirit and struggled mightily against the curse. But now she is wholly a vampire, desperate for blood. Ha, what joy! Two cousins fighting to the death!	„
	~ Actrise about Camilla Fernandez

	“	One of Actrise's brood and Carrie's own Stepmother, Camilla only appears briefly during Carrie's journey, tormenting and taunting her to return to her family roots and become a witch herself. Camilla can summon in spirits by a simple smile (she calls it her " death grin"), and physical attacks are difficult to land as Camilla lives in the Astral plane, and her earthly body is completely ethereal. Recently vampiric, she strikes with force against her will, as she would never intentionally harm her family.	„

Background

Camilla Fernandez, also known as the "Fernandez Warrior," serves as a boss character in Castlevania (N64) and Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness. She is a member of the Fernandez family and the cousin of Carrie Fernandez. During her attempt to confront Dracula and his minions, Camilla was captured and turned into a vampire, falling victim to the very evil she sought to defeat.

Captured by Dracula's forces, Camilla Fernandez is vampirized, losing her humanity and becoming a servant of darkness. Her transformation leads her to face Carrie Fernandez and other protagonists as a powerful boss. Despite her new vampiric nature, traces of her former self may linger, adding a layer of tragedy to her role as an antagonist. Camilla demonstrates a strong connection to the Fernandez bloodline, which has a history of combating Dracula and the forces of evil.

In her boss encounters, Camilla uses her vampiric abilities to attack Carrie Fernandez. While specific details of her attacks vary between the two games, her fights are characterized by their intensity and connection to the narrative. Her ultimate defeat symbolizes not only a victory over Dracula's forces but also a poignant end to a once-heroic member of the Fernandez clan.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Camilla Fernandez’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Camilla Fernandez, Carrie's cousin, was taken captive during her assault on Dracula's Castle. The wicked witch Actrise turned Camilla into a vampire, employing her as an obstacle in Carrie's quest. Unable to find a cure for her vampirism, Carrie had no choice but to destroy her turned cousin. Despite any emotional attachments, Carrie remained resolute, offering a brief prayer for Camilla's soul before continuing her mission. It remains unclear whether Camilla’s role was intended to emotionally destabilize Carrie or if Actrise chose her because of their similar powers. However, considering Dracula's minions' tendency to exploit their victims' emotions, particularly when compared to Reinhardt's battle with Rosa, it is more likely that emotional manipulation was the goal.

Equipment

• Staff: Camilla uses a staff, similar to Sypha's Belnades Staff, likely to use her magic with.

---

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: Camilla floats around, shooting out three magical energy projectiles that home in on the target.

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.

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.
• 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.

Trivia

• The character design for Camilla Fernandez was originally meant to be used as a wreck of Sypha Belnades. This idea was abandoned during development of the game ,but the music track used during her introductory cinematic is still referred to as "Sypha" on the game's official soundtrack release.
• The name "Camilla" is also used to call the vampire Carmilla in some versions.
• Even though her name is never mentioned in the game, she is still called Camilla Fernandez on the official European site of Castlevania 64.
  • Interestingly on the site, they call her Carrie's step-mother, while English localization calls her Carrie's cousin. The japanese name for her is simply just "Fernandez Warrior" thus her direct relation to Carrie is left amibigious.
