Leila (Castlevania)

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

Background

Leila is the direct descendant of Alucard from an alternate timeline, from the 1990 choose-your-own-adventure novel, called The Legend of Satanic Castle: The Vampire Hunters. Hailing in Transylvania much like his ancestors, Sid quickly became partners with the descendants of the Three Legendary Heroes from Trevor Belmont’s era; Sid Belmont (descendant of Trevor Belmont), Row Danasty (descendant of Grant Danasty), and Zouk Belnades (descendant of Sypha Belnades).

Being directly related to Alucard, and thus also his father Count Dracula, Leila is part-vampire. Despite this, she fights for the light, and is constantly seen wearing a cross around her neck, which emits holy light. Long after Dracula's defeat at the hands of Trevor Belmont, his resurrection came under way. Feeling responsible for the Count's evil due to her familial bond with him, she set out alongside her friends to destroy him.

Golem with his ultimate can shoot out a mouth blast that vaporizes everything it touches as far as the eye can see getting these results), Far Higher with Sheer Will (Simon claims that the Belmonts and Morrises did not defeat Dracula because of the Vampire Killer, with the reason behind heroes' capacity to fight against evil lying not in their physical strength but the noble desire to drive away evil and usher in all that is good, the desire to protect the world for all of humanity, with the courage to fight to protect others being the true essence of a hero and a Belmont's strength, with this even applying for other heroes such as Shanoa, Maria, Charlotte, and even Arikado)

Travel Speed: Superhuman regularly, At most Faster Than Light at top speeds (Vampires can move so fast that the light itself cannot keep up with them, leaving an afterimage behind, along with Belmonts such as Juste Belmont, moving so fast that the light afterimage behind him cannot keep up.

Attack Speed: At most Faster Than Light (Can tag Dracula, who serves as the absolute evil, the opposite to God, where for God to be perfectly good, there must be a being of perfect darkness, being the entity opposite to God, making him faster then enemies such as the Sky Fish who moves so fast that it appears as a beam of light and is only slowed down when time is stopped and the White Demon, who can move at the speed of light at short distances), Far Higher with Sheer Will

Reaction Speed: At most Faster Than Light, Far Higher with Sheer Will

Stamina: Limitless (Vampires are loved by the night, making them so powerful that vampires like Walter Bernhard never been defeated before Leon Belmont gained the vampire killer.

It is noted by Lucy that the "vital soul" of a monster is the cause of the grimoire chaos. Their vital souls are causing the grimoires contents to be overwritten changing history to things such as Jonathan Morris is now at a disadvantage in battle, or Charlotte fading from existence due to them messing with the history of the Grimoires, Maria starting to fade because Richter's history is being rewritten, where if the contents of the book change the creatures magic will keep growing and eventually overflow into reality, causing the grimoire to fall into chaos and even more monsters materializing into the real world.

Blessed & Holy Manipulation (With Cross, a cross necklace that Leila carries around blessed with holy powers, shines brightly to repel the creatures of the night)

---

Equipment

• Cross: A cross necklace that Leila carries around, blessed with holy powers. It shines brightly to repel the creatures of the night.
• Map: A map of the Transylvanian countryside that Sid Belmont's party obtains, complete with location names, a compass, and the route towards Dracula’s location.

---

Other

Standard Tactics: Leila utilizes vampire techniques along with holy powers for attacks.

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.
• Unique Weaknesses: Nothing notable.

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.
• As the events of this novel take place after Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, it is assumed safe to scale it to the mainline feats.
• The novel has not officially been translated or had a full fan translation, thus not much information can be grabbed from it at this moment in time.
• 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.
