Background

Carrie Fernandez is a playable character in Castlevania and Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness. Her backstory and main quest are nearly identical in both games, though her availability differs.

In Castlevania (N64), Carrie is one of the two main protagonists, alongside Reinhardt Schneider, and is playable from the start. Her storyline follows her efforts to fight against Dracula's forces using her unique abilities.

In Legacy of Darkness, Carrie also serves as a protagonist, but she must first be unlocked. During Henry’s quest, players can rescue one of the missing children to make her available as a playable character.

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

Early Life Carrie Fernandez, a descendant of the powerful witch Sypha Belnades, was born in 1840 to a family of Spanish immigrants traveling through Eastern Europe. Her lineage led her family to tragedy, as the patriarch of the Fernandez clan fell under Dracula's influence. Many members of her family were executed by fearful villagers or killed by Dracula himself, including Carrie's parents, who were condemned for practicing witchcraft. These events left a lasting scar on Carrie, fueling her bitterness toward adults and God. Orphaned but resilient, Carrie was adopted by a compassionate woman who became her foster mother. Over time, Carrie's unusual abilities began to surface, prompting her foster mother to uncover records linking her to the Fernandez family. As Dracula's influence spread across Europe once more, fear gripped Wallachia. His minions began terrorizing villages, and when they attacked Carrie's home, her foster mother sacrificed herself to protect the young girl. Watching her foster mother die awakened Carrie's latent magical powers, enabling her to destroy the creatures and escape. The loss of her foster mother, on top of her parents' deaths, deepened Carrie's bitterness and drove her to reject adults and God completely. Two years later, news of Castlevania's reappearance reached her ears. Determined to stop Dracula and end his reign of terror, Carrie set off for the vampire lord’s stronghold. Along her journey, she crossed paths with two holy knights, Henry Oldrey and Reinhardt Schneider, and joined their mission. Resolute in her decision, Carrie vowed to use her magic to destroy Dracula and his forces, declaring, "Whatever awaits, I have no regrets!" Castlevania (N64)/Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness Carrie, armed with her powerful magic, battles her way through treacherous lands, overcoming the many monstrous obstacles set by Dracula's minions. Along her quest, she is joined by Reinhardt Schneider and Henry Oldrey. As she makes her way toward the castle, she encounters several individuals who aid her in different ways: Rosa, a vampire who reluctantly offers guidance, and Charlie Vincent, a pompous vampire hunter who provides her with the key to the Villa's archives. She also meets Renon, a demon with unclear loyalties, who offers to sell her useful items throughout her journey. Two characters stand out in her adventure. The first is Malus, a young boy who, after his family was attacked by Dracula's demons, finds himself lost in the Villa's Garden Maze. Carrie helps him escape the maze, but she doesn't expect to see him again. The second is Actrise, a witch Carrie meets just before entering the Castle Center. While Carrie's adoptive mother sacrificed her life to protect Carrie, Actrise sacrificed her own child to achieve immortality. Actrise tries to persuade Carrie to join her in serving the dark forces, but Carrie refuses, determined to fight against the evil that threatens her world. In the vast Castle Center, Carrie and Reinhardt are forced to solve numerous puzzles and battle a Behemoth monster, but the most unsettling event is yet to come. Malus appears again, having somehow made his way into the heart of the castle. When Carrie attempts to question him, Malus speaks cryptically before running further into the castle, leaving Carrie confused and unsettled. Shortly afterward, she encounters Actrise again before boarding an elevator to the Tower of Science. Actrise introduces the Fernandez warrior, a relative from the Sypha Belnades bloodline who had set out to destroy Dracula but was captured and turned into a vampire. After struggling with her curse, the warrior's will faltered, leaving her desperate for human blood. A fierce battle between the two ensues, with Carrie ultimately emerging victorious. With a heavy heart, she vows to ensure Dracula's destruction and speaks of her belief that her mother will be reunited with Camilla in heaven. Carrie and Reinhardt continue their journey, overcoming technological threats in the Tower of Science and magical traps in the Tower of Sorcery. Atop the Room of Clocks, Carrie faces Actrise in another battle. After learning of Actrise's horrific past, where she had sacrificed her own daughter as part of her allegiance to Dracula, Carrie declares her "pathetic" and defeats her in battle. Despite Actrise's powerful dark magic, Carrie proves to be the stronger combatant. Carrie also realizes that Dracula likely used Actrise to delay her progress and vows that she will never forgive him for the suffering he has caused. After overcoming the challenges in the Clock Tower, Carrie and Reinhardt reach the Castle Keep, where they confront Dracula. The battle is surprisingly quick, with the two easily defeating him. Much like Reinhardt, Carrie has two possible endings depending on how long the player takes to complete the game. If the player reaches the Castle Keep in less than ten days (in-game time), they will see the "Good Ending." If more than ten days pass, the player will see the "Bad Ending." While Carrie and Reinhardt's quests are separate during the game, the prologue to Cornell's journey suggests that their attacks on the castle occurred simultaneously, implying they worked together to finally bring down Dracula. Bad Ending After easily defeating Dracula, Carrie turns to find Malus hiding behind a pillar in the Castle Keep. They leave the castle together, and on their way back to the village, Malus proposes to Carrie. Carrie initially refuses but agrees to marry him when they are older. Malus, in response, quietly remarks, "Then we have a binding contract," hinting at his true, sinister intentions. Good Ending As Dracula breathes his last, he causes the castle to collapse, entombing Carrie in the rubble. Carrie escapes the crumbling keep, only to be attacked by Malus, who now appears riding a winged horse. Carrie pursues him to the top of the Clock Tower, where he reveals his true identity as the resurrected Dracula. The vampire she had defeated earlier in the Castle Keep was merely one of Dracula's servants, Gilles de Rais, disguised as the Count to divert attention from Malus. Malus transforms into the adult form of Dracula. After a fierce confrontation, Carrie defeats him, causing him to revert back to his child form. In an attempt to deceive her, he pretends to have forgotten everything that occurred. At this moment, Charlie Vincent arrives and exposes Malus' deception by throwing holy water on him. In a fit of rage, Dracula transports himself and Carrie to another dimension, where he reveals his monstrous true form in one last attempt to destroy her. With the power of her magic and her unshakable resolve, Carrie defeats Dracula once and for all. After his defeat, she is returned to her dimension and witnesses the castle sink into the lake. Finally, with her quest complete, Carrie finds solace at her mother's grave, where she lays flowers in remembrance.

Personality

• Determined to Fufill Her Goals: Carrie will not give up on her goals until Dracula is defeated, as she cannot accept children living in terror as long as he exists. This goes as far as her even being willing to fight and kill her cousin being saddened by being unable to save her but being noting once she destroys Dracula, her cousin will be in heaven.

• Hates being talked down to: Carrie does not like being treated like a child, viewing her mission as important enough to where she should be shown respect. This is shown during her conversation with Charlie Vincent where he states she would not be able to take on Dracula and she tells him he presumes too much and not to speak of matters that do not concern him.

• Nice to Children: Carrie has a natural maternal instinct to children, such as her going out of her way to help Malus out of the forest. Along with refusing to leave the castle until Dracula is defeated, as she cannot accept children living in terror as long as he exists.

Notable Techniques

• Homing Energy Bullet: An energy bullet that Carrie can hold down and shoot out, homing in on the target. It gives her an innate lock-on feature so that the attack will always home onto the target.

Standard Vampire 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: Carrie will utilize her homing energy bullet in combat, where it can hit a target even if she's faced away from them, along with using the sub-weapon that best suits the situation.

Weaknesses

• Vamp Status Weaknesses: If inflicted with the vamp status, one is unable to use health restoration items and do distance attacks, then after a certain period of time one will become a vampire, corrupting them.
• Unique Weaknesses: Carrie's stubborness would technically count as a weakness as no matter what, she will see to her goal of destroying Dracula, allowing in the bad ending for Dracula to trick her into thinking she destroyed him.

• 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.
• 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.

Miscellaneous Feats

• Noted to smell different from the usual adventurer.
• Broke open a door with her attacks.

Trivia

• Carrie's story went through multiple rewrites. Originally she was called "Carrie Eastfield" and at some point her surname have been changed to "Belnades" only to be changed to "Fernandez" in the final game.
• Carrie's cousin, who she fights in the Castle Center, was originally supposed to be a revived Sypha Belnades from Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse. Later, she was renamed to "Camilla Belnades", but in the final game, she is nameless.
• Despite Carrie's name not being "Belnades" and instead "Fernandez", both of these are actually the same meaning in the Castlevania series. Juste Belmont and the Belmont Clan is noted that their magic powers partly derive from the Fernandez Clan, which the main magic clan member that married a Belmont was Sypha Belnades who married and Trevor Belmont and had kids with him. This makes Carrie a Belnades.
  • Interestingly, despite Carrie being a Belnades, she is not given the Belnades staff, which is noted to be a staff passed down to the Belnades Clan. However, this is likely due to Carrie having a step-mother who wasn't an official Belnades, making her never get the staff.
• Carrie's personal level in Castlevania (N64) is the Tower of Sorcery. She also received the Tower of Science as her personal level, which originally belonged to the cut character, Coller.
• Carrie's early story was that she was feared and ostracized by the other villagers due to her supernatural powers, which she used for peaceful purposes such as making flowers bloom in the winter. Supposedly, she ventured into Dracula's Castle believing that she was cursed by Dracula and that he could unlock her full potential.
• Despite being a Belnades, Carrie is powerful enough to be able to take on Dracula on her own, with her power being noted by the likes of Actrise. This is interesting since Belnades such as Sypha Belnades couldn't even get far into Dracula's Castle before being turned to stone. With this in mind, Carrie would be on of the most powerful Belnades, being second to the likes of Charlotte Aulin and potentially Yoko Belnades.
• It is interesting that Carrie has Maria Renard's Rondo of Blood outfit as her alternate outfit as both of them share similarities. Both characters are 12 during their respective games, both are noted to possess mighty magical powers by an underling of Dracula, both dislike being treated as a kid, and both have had their parents killed by Dracula and mention their parents watching over them in heaven.
• To unlock Carrie as a playable character in Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness, the player has to find Bess during Henry's quest. She can be found in the Castle Wall, in a section with no floor when the player enters the castle gate. At the four rotating spiked platforms there will be a ledge with the child in the center.
  • To unlock Carrie's alternate costume, after finding Bess the player has to find Florence during Henry's quest. She's found in the Outer Wall. After riding the first platform up, you will find yourself under a small decorative overhang; if you jump to the edge jutting out from the arch, you will be right next to the child.
