Character History

Some time before 1917 Drolta used black magic to bring Count Dracula's niece, Elizabeth Bartley, back to life. The two then set in motion a plot to resurrect the Dark Lord. Drolta used her magic to animate a Mecha Knight in an attempt to waylay Belmont descendant John Morris and his friend Eric Lecarde. The two heroes eventually foiled the women's efforts.

The American Bloodlines manual states that Drolta was an "amateur witch" who "casts a spell which inadvertently brings Elizabeth Bartley back" to life. However, Japanese manual doesn't have such description.

Trivia

• Drolta is based on Dorottya Szentes, one of Erzsébet Báthory's servants who was one of three people said to have been tried and convicted as accomplices to the crimes committed by the 'Blood Countess'.
• After the defeat of Dracula's first form in this game, a cloaked magic-user takes over. While most players assumed that it was a form of Dracula, its clear that the character is Drolta, due to the similarities of the sprites with the images. After her defeat, she uses her powers to strenghten Dracula's body to his monster form, similar on how she did to revive him.
