		Dracula, after being resurrected by the Dark Priest Shaft, commanded his forces to kidnap Richter's girlfriend Annette Renard, her younger sister Maria Renard, and other town women.
		Soon after, Richter was coaxed to the side of evil by the magic of Shaft, who had somehow survived the earlier defeat at the hands of the Belmont.
		It was Alucard who arose from his slumber, braved the evil castle, and freed Richter from that control with Maria's help.

		Maria, too, was powerful and determined, and she assisted Richter with her magical prowess during the rest of the journey.
		He informed Maria of these happenings, but she refused to believe it; she later conceded that it could be Richter, but if it was, he was under someone's control.
		Maria didn't want Alucard out of her life, though, so the words from Richter: "go after him, then," gave her the courage to give chase.

	EPAT: Recent Initiatives in Coastal Resource Management
		Sea bird populations were dropping as their nests were plundered for eggs, and the populations of commercially valuable fish, lobsters, seamoss, turtles, and "sea eggs" were also in rapid decline (Smith and Berkes, 1993).
		Yves Renard and others at CANARI quickly realized that because of the multitude of ecological, social and economic linkages in the area, environmental protection efforts would fail if the reserves were managed in isolation from the surrounding communities (Stone, 1988).
		Between 1983-89, the Maria Islands Nature Reserve and Interpretive Center opened with help from the World Wildlife Fund in an attempt to save two highly endangered species (a ground lizard and grass snake) found only on the Maria Islands (Renard, 1992).

	Maria Renard
		To any self respecting CastleVaniac, Maria happens to be Annette Renard’s younger sister, and later on, Richter’s sister-in-law, as well as heroine of Symphony of the Night.
		What they don’t know is that Maria is Konami pushing the early 90s limits on what they could do in a game in terms of entendres.
		Here we have the 13 year old girl, damsel in distress #2, and when you end up saving her, she’s in a room with a lone, and (thank god for this) heavily robed old dude.

	Dracula X: Rondo of Blood
		After saving Maria on the game's second stage, she'll become available as a playable character for any of the stages that Richter has already cleared--this can be done from the stage-select screen when Richter runs out of lives or when the game is reset.
		However, when you imbibe further, you'll find that the voice samples for Richter, Maria and the enemy characters are very well done--the heroes expel battle cries, ravens squawk, zombies scream, Minotaurusu calls upon his bull rage, and so on.
		As you finish stages with Maria and Richter, also, you can locate and collect twenty-four special money bags; on the level-select screen, you can use this form of currency to buy strategies on how to beat certain bosses (this is the same feature offered to you in Symphony of the Night by the Master Librarian).

		In a Ghosts 'n Goblins-like move, the second wrinkle, and this is a big one, is the sidequest to rescue several young ladies kidnapped by Dracula's underlings, including his fiance, Annette.
		Maria even has a Metroid-like double jump, as well as a very hadoken-esque 'alter-ego attack.' This adds some much-needed replay value to a game that could have grown tired through repeat plays.
		It's not that the control and game design are not at the top of the heap, they are, but it is setting, the gothic, classic horror movie feel of the game that allows it to stand out.

		While the actual game itself is nearly identical, Maria gets her own subweapons (which are shown here), as well as her own icons for health items, so instead of a big chunk of meat, she gets things like a birthday cake or an ice cream cone.
		Not only is Maria regulated to a supporting role, but the enemy in question didn't even exist in the game, nor did the background it was set against.
		It had a good chunk of extra items, two extra levels, and Maria was a playable character, complete with her own unique moves, attacks, and so forth.

		Once there, he fought his way through, rescuing the kidnapped women, among which were Annette and her younger sister Maria Renard.
		She was hesitant to believe, but gave Alucard a key item to unraveling the mystery of Richter's claims: a pair of magical goggles, that would allow the wearer to see what the normal eye could not.
		Alucard asked Maria to help the weakened Richter to safety, and she did, leading him to a cliff facing Castlevania, and there they waited for Alucard.

	Dracula X: Nocturne In the Moonlight
		Richter and Maria's "missions," if you want to call them that, are inconsequential to the story; they exist for the sole purpose of providing to the series' fans classic, no-nonsense Castlevania action compared to Alucard's longer story mission.
		Maria, as the exclusive character, is the main draw here: Konami crossed Maria from Rondo with Richter as he plays here to envision a character that excels in platforming, the martial arts, and long-range offense using an array of projectiles and kicks that make it almost unfair for the enemy.
		You can have a lot of fun with Maria, especially against bosses, but she, too, can prove to be too powerful for the game's own good.

	Dracula X: Rondo of Blood
		Little Maria Renard, with blond hair and pink dress, armed with a variety of adorable animal helpers, will join Richter in the battle against Dracula.
		I'd venture to say Maria is one of the best things about the game - although she can't take as many hits as Richter, her double jump makes her a lot more flexible.
		And her attack, where she throws doves at a short range that return like boomerangs, is actually much easier to wield than Richter's whip.

	IGN Boards - A good reason for HoD being a rip off of SoTn
		She would have had a kid with Alucard and that kid would be Trevor Belmont but IGA canceled the game since he found that no female could be a Belmont hero.
		I don't know about any other Castlevania game where Alucard was supposed to have a kid with a female Belmont,in SOTN Maria Renard leaves with him and nothing is explained in a later game as to what happend between them.
		Castlevania:Legends would bring us again to the Ressurection theory but since IGA removed this game too from the story for the same reason that rules the kid theory out.I'm not sure after which game she was supposed to have a kid but none of it really matters now.

		Being both agile and possessing a shrill singing voice that was used against her enemies, she was a valuable companion to Richter, and a powerful warrior on her own.

		Playing as Maria, however, is a neat bonus that one never got to experience in the PSX.
		Two points less than Symphony, due to the squished resolution, the bad character animations (Richter's new outfit and Maria's sprites), the dithering effect used in every translucency, the blurriness of the sprites and tiles due to scaling, and the lower color palette.
		Maria's quest is as pointless as Richter was (in either version), and gets old rather fast.

Once you defeat Draccy, the real storyline kicks in - four years later, Richter mysteriously disappears and Castlevania materializes out of fog.
		Maria Renard, now fully grown, begins a search for her old compatriot.
		Meanwhile, Alucard, the son of Dracula who sealed himself away after Castlevania 3, had awoken to fight the forces of evil once again, and investigate the mysteries of his father's castle.
