Sara Trantoul (サラ・トラントゥール, Sara Torantūru?) was the fiancée of Leon Belmont. She was reluctantly killed by him after being infected with vampirism. Her soul bonded with the Whip of Alchemy, forging with this the now legendary Vampire Killer. The 18 year-old daughter of a wealthy landowner; she is adored by all, especially by her betrothed, Leon Belmont. Sara is a sweet and beautiful girl who extends a helping hand to anyone who needs it, in spite of being wealthy. She is modest but has a strong heart. On the day before she was married to Leon, she was kidnapped by the vampire Walter Bernhard. She was eventually rescued by Leon, but unfortunately not before being bitten by Walter and infected with vampirism. Even though Sara felt grief that she was going to lose her humanity, her only wish was to be able to help Leon; so, in order to defeat the vampire, she made a soul and blood pact with Leon, sacrificing her life to bind her soul to the Whip of Alchemy and with this forge the now legendary Vampire Killer whip.
Castlevania
Castlevania: Hymn of Blood is an interpretation of a possible backstory for Simon Belmont, the protagonist of the Castlevania video games. It should come as a relief to old-school gamers that the serialized story seems to focus more on references and lore from the three NES games, rather than anything from the more recent (and terrible) games.
