[edit] Character history
Sonia Belmont lived during the Late Middle Ages in a remote part of Transylvania. In 1451 her grandfather was killed by Dracula's minions. [1] Remembering his words to her - "Your powers are meant for a higher purpose and not only for yourself." - she took up his ancestral whip and intrepidly ventured into Castlevania. Within the castle, she encountered Alucard, the half-vampire son of Dracula. She had met him some time before and the two had formed a romantic relationship. Alucard was intent on dissuading Sonia from her goal, planning to stop his father alone. When Sonia would not yield, he challenged her to a battle to test her abilities and skills. After she defeated him, Alucard was confident that Sonia could overcome Dracula and he resumed his self-imposed sleep. Sonia went on to be the first Belmont to defeat Dracula, and spared Europe from his evil influence for a time. (For more information on Sonia's removal from the official timeline, see the Castlevania Timeline article.) Soon after Dracula's defeat, Sonia bore a child who "would carry on the fate and tragedy of the Belmont family, and the bloodline of dark ways."
[edit] Trivia
- The ending of Legends implies that Sonia's child was Trevor Belmont and was fathered by Alucard. (As a result, all the Belmonts would be descendants of Tepes.)
- Sonia was intended to star in Castlevania: Resurrection, a cancelled Castlevania game for the Dreamcast.
- Sonia Belmont's existence, and the entire happenings of Castlevania Legends, were stricken from Castlevania's canon.
