About

Lisa (リサ Risa?) was Dracula's second wife and the mother of Alucard. Although never physically appearing in the Castlevania series before or since, her death served as Dracula's motivation to wage war on humanity, finalizing his transformation into the main antagonist of the games.

It should be noted that Lisa is only ever referred to by her first name in the games; neither her maiden name nor what name she took when married (Cronqvist, Ţepeş or a pseudonym of some kind) have been established.

Personality

Lisa is fully depicted as being Vlad's wife and mother to his child, Adrian. Seeking to learn more about science and ways to employ it to help those in need, she is enthralled with the vampire's castle, which can displace itself and seemingly travel through time, allowing its owner access to technology not available during that period. Lisa sends off Vlad to travel the world by convincing him that he should learn to "walk like a man" in order to become more empathetic with mankind. While he is away, she is apprehended and burned at the stake under accusations of practicing witchcraft by the town's religious leaders. After Vlad returns and discovers the murder of his wife, he condemns the human race and vows to kill the citizens of Wallachia.
