	"Mature Content"

Background

Loretta Lecarde is a character and major antagonist in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. She is the twin sister of Stella Lecarde and the daughter of Eric Lecarde, a protagonist from Castlevania: Bloodlines. Loretta and Stella were both captured by the vampire Brauner, who turned them into vampires and took them in as their adoptive father.

Loretta appears as a boss during the game, often alongside her sister. In one of the game's alternate modes, both Loretta and Stella become playable characters, with the story of how they fell into Brauner's clutches being explored in greater detail.

ExpandThis dropdown contains the synopsis of Loretta Lecarde’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Loretta Lecarde was one of Eric Lecarde's twin daughters, and she inherited her father's mastery of magic. Alongside her sister, Stella, she was turned into a vampire by Brauner after their father went missing while investigating Dracula's Castle. In their search for him, the sisters entered the castle, where they found Eric wounded and were subsequently vampirized by Brauner, setting the stage for the events of Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. Loretta's first appearance in the game occurs in the City of Haze after Jonathan Morris and Charlotte Aulin defeat the Dullahan. She interrupts their conversation about the castle, looking down on them and revealing that the City of Haze is just one of the many paintings created by her "father" to empower the castle. Her dismissive attitude towards Charlotte annoys her, and when Jonathan tries to attack, the Vampire Killer refuses to strike. Loretta explains that she was ordered by Brauner not to fight the intruders before leaving. Loretta appears again in the Sandy Grave alongside Brauner and Stella, where Brauner reveals his plans. A tense confrontation ensues when Loretta and Stella defend their "father" from Jonathan's disrespect, but Brauner intervenes and sends the sisters away. After Jonathan defeats Stella in the Tower of Death, Loretta arrives to save her and warns Jonathan one last time before leaving with Stella. In the process, Stella drops a trinket containing a picture of "Wind" alongside herself and Loretta. This prompts Jonathan and Charlotte to ask Wind about it, and they learn that Wind is actually Eric Lecarde, and the sisters were his daughters who had been vampirized by Brauner. They are also told that the only way to purify them is by using the Sanctuary spell. Loretta and Stella act as the boss encounter in the Master's Keep dining room. If Jonathan and Charlotte defeat them, Brauner spirits them away before the castle collapses, and Eric's ghost expresses regret over his daughters before vanishing, leading to a game over. However, if the sisters are purified using Sanctuary, they return to human form. After regaining her senses, Loretta is distressed over the loss of her father, but not as much as Stella. She believes her sister has taken on too much responsibility and agrees to help her more. To thank Jonathan and Charlotte, the Lecarde twins offer to perform a ritual to unlock the full power of the Vampire Killer. If Jonathan accepts, he must fight the Whip's Memory alone, and upon its defeat, the Vampire Killer will become a much stronger weapon. In Sisters Mode, where the Lecarde twins are playable characters, Loretta can rapidly fire magic missiles toward the spot the player touches on the touchscreen.

Personality

• Calm and Composed Nature: Unlike her more impulsive and emotional twin, Stella, Loretta is more composed and calm. She often acts as a restraint to her sister's more erratic behavior and is more focused on following Brauner's orders without deviation.

• Ice Magic and Delusional Views: Loretta specializes in ice-based magical attacks, using her abilities to control the battlefield with precision. While she shares her sister's disdain for humanity, Loretta's view is shaped by her delusional state, viewing humans as inferior but still more reserved and controlled in her actions compared to Stella.

Appearance

• Looks: Loretta is a young woman with an elegant yet somber appearance, often seen wearing a green Gothic outfit that complements her pale complexion. She shares a striking feature with her older twin sister, Stella—heterochromia. In her vampiress form, Loretta's left eye turns a deep red, while in her human form, both of her eyes are green. This change in eye color mirrors the transformation her sister undergoes, though the shift in Loretta’s eyes is limited to just one. Her overall demeanor, like her attire, exudes a sense of poise and restraint.

• Regular Clothes: As a human, Loretta dresses in a distinct green Gothic outfit, marking her youthful yet somber style. Her clothing, while elegant, carries a darker aesthetic, fitting her transformation into a vampiress. The outfit reflects her composed nature, which contrasts with her more volatile sister, Stella.

• Special Clothes: In her vampiress form, Loretta maintains a similar gothic look, though her features shift to highlight her supernatural transformation. Her eyes, now heterochromatic, are her most notable change. The red hue of her left eye gives her a more chilling, otherworldly appearance. Despite her vampiric nature, her attire remains consistent with her more composed and restrained personality.

The text alterations also make the monsters stronger. With the real world and world of grimoires being considered the same or "equal", compared to the like of Brauner's painting worlds that are quantum multi-layered spaces requiring understandings of theories such as "Curse Amplification".

Equipment

Notable Techniques

Standard Vampire TechniquesUnique 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.

Ice Spell

Loretta shoots out an ice spell for a continuous attack, normally being able to fire it out in a rapid-fire motion.

Glyph Summons

She can summon ice creatures from glyphs to attack enemies with.

---

Other

Standard Tactics: Loretta will fly around using either her ice spell or creating a glyph to summon ice-based enemies out of to attack her opponent with.

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.

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.
• 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

• Both Loretta and Stella were voiced by the same actress, Mariko Suzuki, in the Japanese version of Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin.
