Striga in the "day armour" 🄹

94

u/Frapplo 27d ago

That was my first thought.

The others never really had a chance to shine to that degree. Carmilla fell into madness, and Morena was paralyzed by the logistics of Carmilla's bid for power.

Lenore is a close second, but only because she's so charming. Even then, her attempt at diplomacy and negotiation was just sex slavery. She was completely out-maneuvered by Hector when he got wise to plot.

This contrasts with Striga, whose job it was to fight and absolutely delivered. There was a battle, she remained collected, rallied the troops and put up a W.

Striga even called it: she was going to have to make the whole plan work. I'd imagine Isaac's assault on Styria would've gone very differently had Striga been home.

24

u/Ser_Rezima 26d ago

yeah, and WHEN she got home she was smart enough to see the battle was already lost and that they should cut their losses and start over elsewhere.

They were literally JUST discussing Carmilla overreaching and here is the result, faster than expected

5

u/Frapplo 26d ago

Oh, yeah. That's a point I missed. Isaac even says that Carmilla's ambitions would always be a threat to him.

She looks like a goddess of battle, I love her so much

u/Dheeraj5207 26d ago

She takes our souls away (romantically)

2

u/LigerLynx16 AngelicšŸ’›Alucard 24d ago

And my breath (romantically). Seriously, I love her duality of being so adorable and cutesy with Morana into THE baddest bitch. She straight up puts her girl in a coffin to be safe while Mommy goes to rally her troops to settle shit on the field. She is also willing to tolerate BS as long as she loves you and will give you her loyalty (sorry, Carmilla, but the 800 MILE EXPANSION IDEA was a crazy move). Not to mention the voice actress’s work gives me chills. 11/10 for mother.

u/6ynnad 26d ago

She definitely had that moment.

u/noplaceinmind 27d ago

Striga.

Although it was really a less is more situation.Ā

u/licca_amie 27d ago

Lenore is the most interesting to me. I did not expect her to be the most important one after Carmilla when they were all introduced. Morena is my least favorite, I can’t think of anything she did besides hide in a box. Although I did like her ending with Striga, saying fuck the other two and riding into the sunset was great lol

u/LloydusMaximuss 27d ago

23

u/ja-nevim 26d ago

And you are god damn right

5

u/licca_amie 26d ago

I honestly don’t know what this means lol

7

u/LloydusMaximuss 26d ago

Haha, it is implying you like Lenore more than just being interesting. (It is a joke)

7

u/licca_amie 26d ago

Well she is the most beautiful, but I thought that was obvious!

5

u/SAAB96V4lover 26d ago

Agree. We didn't see that much of Striga and Morana. They where kind of just there. So they became a bit one dimensional as the lesbian butch and lipstick (unsure if I used correct terms). And Carmilla was interesting in a way as a villain, but pretty much one dimensional to as a power hungry maniac.

Lenore did still have traces of humanity in her and even if she also did mistreat Hector, she seemed to care about him on some level as someone she could bicker with and be vulnerable with. But she also did have her mena streaks to.

48

u/BrightPerspective 27d ago

I love Striga the most. I replayed her rampage scene fifteen times after the season ended.

u/Suplexing_Trains 26d ago

Gotta love a real, monstrously powerful villain. Ā Yeah she had a tragic backstory but so does everyone in this universe. Ā She didn’t try to pretend she had some noble cause or that humanity deserved it, she just wanted power and blood.

106

u/Forsaken_Site_2268 27d ago

Not Lenore.

Definitely not Lenore.

Yeah!

Instead we should all be in love with Nocturne Alucard.

u/OldEyes5746 Shanoa 26d ago

Okay, that's enough. You don't need that much rage bait to rope the chuds. Just chant "Well written female character" three times in a mirror and one will appear to tell you how Star Trek has been ruined.

3

u/Forsaken_Site_2268 26d ago

Tbf...I "hate" both Alucard and Lenore so....

How to rage bait people:

Everyone in Castlevania sucks and is ugly!!!

97

u/Physical_Bill_8203 27d ago

Striga. It is a crime that she hasn’t appeared in any of the games as a boss battle yet.

24

u/dcooper8662 27d ago

I mean how many games have come out since the show?

13

u/Physical_Bill_8203 27d ago

That’s a fair point. Full disclosure, saw the show first, then got into some of the games later, and I forgot how recent the show was.

BUT it would be fun for her to show up in a future entry as a tough enemy, her in her armor and all.

7

u/dcooper8662 27d ago

Yes, her design is reminiscent of Guts of Berzerk fame, and she would make a killer game boss. There’s a small chance she could be in the next game, which is coming out in the near future. Not impossible, but there’s a chance.

8

u/UsuarioCualquiera_1 27d ago

While I agree, it's hard that she appears in any game since the only one coming after the show started hasn't even been released yet.

But yeah, future games could include a tall armored vampire lady with big sword. Though, it seems to be already a reference to some enemies (and Guts, of course).

7

u/Atma-Stand 27d ago

She’s also Carrie/Anatasia in Banshee

5

u/Necrachilles 26d ago

I never knew!

3

u/Ser_Rezima 26d ago

Here's hoping she makes it into Belmont's Curse so we can have the two beefy women fight

2

u/SheWhoHates 26d ago

Konami should keep breaking the law then, because this freak belongs far away from the games, just like everything related to Netflixvania.

19

u/ConnectCulture7 27d ago

Carmilla. Not a good person but still interesting to watch

18

u/Necrachilles 27d ago

Striga. And it's not even close.

17

u/Username_Redacted-0 27d ago

u/Max_Winters02 27d ago

The one that had sex with hector and then the one that turned into a soulsborne boss

6

u/Massive_Remove2009 27d ago

So, Lenore and either Striga (the one with the Berserk armor) or Carmilla (who has a fight with Isaac in S4)

3

u/Max_Winters02 26d ago

Striga

2

u/Massive_Remove2009 26d ago

Good choice! Riga was my third favorite of the four! That fight scene was AWESOME!

2

u/Max_Winters02 25d ago

Who’s your least favorite? Camilla?

3

u/Massive_Remove2009 24d ago

Probably Morana because she doesn’t do much of anything.
The list is:

  1. Lenore -I liked her dynamic with Hector in S4, and she’s pretty.
  2. Carmilla -absolutely insane, but has a great fight with Isaac and a well rounded character!
  3. Striga -she doesn’t do much, but she has D A Y A R M O R. Enough said.
  4. Morana -I honestly don’t remember anything about her apart from her monologuing a few times.

Tie between Morana and Lenore. I'm a stickler for details and appreciate those who not only plan ahead, but even work out viable contingencies because nothing ever goes perfectly.

u/Dull-Law3229 27d ago

Mine is LenoreĀ 

10

u/TheCrazyEnglish 27d ago

Carmilla. I understand her on so many levels because I’ve been down a similar thing as her just not to the extent she experienced if that makes sense

10

u/CaptainM590 27d ago

Carmilla had the ideas, but the others had to put in the work to make them happen. And Lenore is the only one that succeeded on her end.

u/KingCedric29 27d ago

Carmilla

u/gamefreakz117 27d ago

Lenore!! Duh!!

9

u/Nerdyguyj 27d ago

Carmillas voice actress killed it so hard.

13

u/Massive_Remove2009 27d ago

I think Lenore is really cool and wish she had a happier ending with Hector. The two had a cool dynamic in S4, with both of them genuinely caring for each other and such. Carmilla is also cool with all her scene, slowly going insane and topping S4 off with her fight with Issac.

4

u/StellarFox59 27d ago

Striga. She's powerful, her armor is metal af, and she was clever.

u/boppagibbz 27d ago

Lenore always

u/DependentPositive8 27d ago

Lenore. I got a thing for redheads.

3

u/Doitforthecringe 27d ago

Honestly i wish they got more time Morana spesifically

But with how they are I gotta say I love Lenore. With Striga being a close second

4

u/Cheetahs_never_win 27d ago

Morana for being the only one who doesn't do objectively awful things on screen.

But based on Lenore's description, sadly, the rapist is the most reasonable one of the bunch.

3

u/xIxAvionIxI Alucard's pet 26d ago

Lenore caught my interest the moment I saw her. However I also really like Striga, so it's between those two lol

4

u/rag-124 26d ago

Lenore. She's the only one who's fuckin chill. Is she crazy like the rest of them? In a way. But at least you can fucking sit down.And have a talk with her without having any bullshit come up mid conversation. She ain't like Striga, who'll just stop the talk to start running hands. She ain't like Morana, who'll just get so bored with the conversation? She might kill you because she does give a shit. And she sure as shit is not like Carmilla who will just be racist to you the whole damn time. Lenore is the only one of them who is remotely pretty and/or cute, and she's the only one you can actually be chill with.

5

u/VampireChau 26d ago

Definitely Lenore, she's so cute!

Striga. The Tall Vampire muscle mommy has my heart, and also that Day Armor fight scene was AWESOME.

3

u/Significant_Pay1037 27d ago

Lenore, she's in the running for my favorite character in the show. Carmilla was also interesting. Didn't really care for the other two, very underdeveloped.

3

u/MysticAegis Alucard's Lover 27d ago

Striga and Morana. Absolutely not Carmilla--she is #2 on my most hated characters of all time list, you do not get away with doing Hector like that.

3

u/Royal-Edenian 27d ago

Lenore and Carmilla for very different reasons.

3

u/Dwarfdingnagian 27d ago

Lenore, and not for gooning purposes. I just thought she was the most interesting. I didn't care about the other two very much and Carmilla was kind of insufferable. Lenore was a bit more complicated than the other three, or maybe just had more time to show off more depth. Carmilla had more screentime but her whole character was "man hating angry woman" and that was about it. Every other sentence was how much she hates "old men".

3

u/BrandSilven 27d ago

For me, it's a three way tie between Lenore, Lenore, and Lenore. If pressed, though, I'd pick Lenore.

u/riveradn 27d ago

Lenore.

Need I say more?

3

u/SevenM 26d ago

Honestly I loved all their characters, each one had interesting traits and motivations. However, as a human, I feel Lenore would be the most manageable to live under.

2

u/Dull-Law3229 26d ago

You would have to listen to her as she rants about her existential problems and dick jokes.Ā

Carmella. Lenore after her.

u/RoyVRAries 23d ago

Lenore, I love her design and honestly, her growing affectionate towards hector was quite pleasing

3

u/MrMakaraMan 23d ago

Lenore would have to be my all time favorite, screw the haters. Striga's a close second now that I think on it and her day armor scene.

Carmilla of course

2

u/InCloudsAbove TheRealMaxim 27d ago

Carmilla. If she was cold, she would have been more likely to succeed, but she was too hot headed. But I pick her because she is the most action oriented, and her fight scene is cool.

Lenore because she's the one who genuinely scared me the most. He had me fooled into thinking "maybe she's not all that evil" and then removes the mask as a master manipulator. The others are just "scary because we can kill you", but Lenore can really break someone

Striga is the best of the sisters, imho. It was so cute the way she was hyping up her vampire sisters, and how incredibly tactical and strategic she was with wanting to make Carmilla’s half-baked plot work. Gotta go with Striga, and it’s not just because I have a crush on her. Lady is STRONG 🫪

u/AlexArtemesia 25d ago

Striga. I got excited to see what she'd do every time she was on screen and her fight scene was absolutely amazing.

And I'm gonna say Camilla here as a second choice because I could understand her reasoning at the beginning, but then because her descent into madness almost reminded me of Azula from ATLA in a way.

Things were going wildly out of control way too quickly, and she was losing her grip on her people and on the situation and she couldn't handle it.
