“	Do not underestimate me! I am Sypha Belnades, a hunter of the church.	„
	~ Sypha Belnades

Background

Sypha Belnades was a young woman who grew extremely proficient with magic and became a self-proclaimed witch. Raised by fellow witches, Sypha was only a child when she witnessed the vampire, Carmilla, darken the hearts of men to the point that they grew fearful and hateful towards witches. This sparked the witch trials, which led to the deaths of Sypha's parents.

After barely escaping with her life, Sypha found refuge within the Church. For a time, she trained as a monk, in which she learned how to use elemental magic, such as fire, ice, and lightning spells. Seeking revenge for the vampire who caused the deaths of her sisters, Sypha sought to destroy anything tainted by darkness.

Whilst out destroying monsters around the countryside of Wallachia, Sypha noticed a Time Rift appear before her, which wasted no time in pulling her in. Inside, Sypha met a man named Aeon, who beckoned for her help in defeating a powerful and dangerous being known as the Time Reaper. Agreeing to do so, Sypha fought through the Time Rift. Along the way, she met several warriors from several points in time, including a strange man named Trevor Belmont, who seemed to know her.

After several fights to prove her strength, Sypha made it to the Time Reaper and managed to defeat it. With the Time Rift mended, Sypha was brought back to her own time, where she found that trouble was stirring. A mysterious new vampire known as Count Dracula made his presence known, seeking to kill all of humanity for their transgressions.

Sypha was called by the Church to deal with the threat, though she was still wary that the people of Wallachia would kill her for her station as a witch. In particular, a woman named Lisa had recently been killed for suspicions of being a witch, which, unbeknownst to everyone, was the event that enraged Dracula. Because of this, Sypha disguised herself as a man and came to the countryside.

Once she made it there, however, she was quickly captured by a powerful Cyclops, and turned into a statue. Sypha was then rescued by Trevor Belmont, whom she somewhat recalled from her quest through the Time Rift. Sypha joined Trevor, along with two other warriors named Grant Danasty and Alucard, as they set course directly towards Dracula. Using their combined power, the four were able to slay the Dark Lord.

With Dracula defeated, Sypha grew an attraction towards Trevor, and the two fell in love; they would soon have children that would continue on the legendary Belmont bloodline. As accomplices to Trevor Belmont in his fight, Sypha, Grant, and Alucard were titled the "Three Legendary Warriors," which immortalized them through history.

Equipment

• Belnades Staff: A treasure of the Belnades Clan, which functions as Sypha's main weapon. It can be used for melee attacks, though she normally uses it to channel through her magic spells.
• Holy Water: A jar of water that was purified and blessed by the Church. When it shatters out of its container, the water erupts into powerful flames.

Flames: Sypha launches a ball of fire at her enemies.

Frozen Crystals: Six icicles form around Sypha, and spread outwards as dangerous projectiles. If they collide with an enemy, they will be frozen in place.

Goodness Gracious Great Bolts of Lightning: Sypha forms three spheres of electricity that home-in on her opponents.

Jagged Earth: A large and sharp formation of rocks appears in front of Sypha, acting as a sort of shield.

Gale Force: Sypha launches a powerful green gust of wind to damage opponents.

Disintegrate: Summoning a gigantic spell book, Sypha preforms an incantation that traps the enemy in a barrier of energy. Spheres of fire, ice, and electricity then surround them, before the entire barrier explodes with them within it.

Other

Weaknesses: Sypha has previously been captured and petrified, which she needed to be rescued from as she was unable to resist the petrification. She is likely susceptible to succumbing to this again.

Note: Unlike most characters pulled into the Time Rift of Castlevania Judgement, Sypha was actually pulled into it before the events of her first adventure. As such, her Judgement key is placed before her key for Castlevania III.
