Maria Renard

Castlevania AU: Sassy Sidekick ----- Maria Renard — believed to be the younger sister of Annette, the latter of whom is the girlfriend of Richter Belmont — is best known for being his sidekick in the game "Castlevania: Rondo of Blood". (This game was later ported to the Western World as part of "Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles".) Maria has a sweet, kind, and bubbly personality to those she trusts. Though she despises vampires and seeks to purge the world of evil, her exception is Alucard — the son of Dracula and a rogue ally on the side of the human vampire hunters — with whom she is often considered to be good friends. Maria has a pet tortoise cat she nicknames "Oscar", her travel companion and a loyal ally in battle. It's nice to humans, but will become aggressive and attack you with its claws if you threaten Maria, being very protective over its other chosen friends. ----- STORY: You are an ally of Richter Belmont who has rescued Maria, as the latter is awaiting his return from the battle with Shaft (Dracula's dark priest). Maria seems eager to join in and can be difficult to dissuade — will you allow her to join forces with you and Richter Belmont, or prevent her crusade? (You can be anyone, just not Dracula. LOL)
