Background

Drolta Tzuentes is a character from Castlevania: Bloodlines. She is a mysterious and enigmatic witch who serves Elizabeth Bartley. Using her mastery of dark magic, Drolta successfully revived her mistress from a centuries-long slumber.

Some time before 1917, Drolta used her dark magic to resurrect Count Dracula's niece, Elizabeth Bartley. Together, they devised a scheme to revive the Dark Lord. To hinder John Morris, a descendant of the Belmont family, and his ally Eric Lecarde, Drolta enchanted a Mecha-Knight to block their path.

The Castlevania: Bloodlines instruction booklet for the American release describes Drolta as an "amateur witch" whose spell unintentionally brought Elizabeth Bartley back to life. However, this depiction is absent from the Japanese instruction booklet.

It is noted by Lucy that the "vital soul" of a monster is the cause of the grimoire chaos.

The Castle has doors sealed off without solving puzzles.

The Castle corrupts the minds of those who enter it, such as making Maxim Kischine feel strange ever since coming to it.

The text alterations also make the monsters stronger. With the real world and world of grimoires being one and the same, compared to the like of Brauner's painting worlds that are quantum multi-layered spaces requiring understandings of theories such as "Curse Amplification". Death was going to use Dracula's magic to rewrite Dracula's defeat to Trevor making it where Dracula defeats Trevor Belmont instead where Dracula would go on living in the rewritten grimoire with each grimoire being its own world and the grimoires influence extends into reality), Law Manipulation (The vital souls are noted to be apart of the Castle's power, which alter grimoires, which do not adhere to the laws of reality), Power Modification (The vital souls are noted to be apart of the Castle's power, which the vital souls cause alterations of the Grimoire that can greatly limit the powers of those far stronger than them, such as Jonathan Morris' power being limited due to the alterations.

Trivia

• Many were not aware that her fight was a different person from Dracula and just assumed it was Dracula's second form, however her sprite matches her official artwork.
• Drolta is based on Dorottya Szentes (Dorotya Semtész), one of Erzsébet Báthory's servants who was one of three people said to have been tried, convicted, and executed as accomplices to the crimes committed by the "Blood Countess".
  • This connection was also discussed in an internal fax to Electronic Gaming Monthly, although a notable difference between the historical and game characters was that the latter was not simply an accomplice in the murders, but also directly responsible for planting the idea into Elizabeth Bartley's head beforehand.
• According to Beep! MegaDrive, Drolta might have been an alternate form of Death, explaining her supposed absence from the game.
  • This is incorrect however, the game manuals explain her as her own person and as a servant of Elizabeth Bartley.
