Sonia Belmont

Sonia Belmont is a vampire hunter from Konami's Castlevania series. She appears as the main, playable character in Castlevania Legends, which was published on the Game Boy in 1998.

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. 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. 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."

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 Dracula.)
 * Sonia was intended to star in Castlevania: Resurrection, a cancelled Castlevania game for the Dreamcast.
