Had a reflection about Carmilla's relationship to men in the Castlevania anime, especially with Hector. He is the only one she can hurt as much as she likes because he's mortal and holds no real power in front of her. It's not only that she finds him weak, girl is beating the shit out of him and seems to deeply despise him. The thing is, Carmilla’s visceral hate of Hector links to the way she views men as automatically wanting to hurt her because she’s only known them as the purest form of danger and predators to her and yet, she deeply envies their characteristic, social ones. I don’t think she wants to be a man per say, on the contrary, I love how deeply comfortable she is with her femininity but she wants the natural power that men hold for no reason other than being men. It makes one bitter to always fight for what others are freely granted and so she becomes the abuser so that she can’t be the abused anymore.
Proof is, she is respectful of her sisters in Styria. She never makes Striga, Morana or Lenore feel like less than her, she values their input and opinions because she knows they can't hurt her. In her own way, she does have affection for them as well. Traumas make you view the world in terms of black and white, evil and good, friends or foes, and to Carmilla, it's men vs women.
Her incredible amount of pain and rage makes her blind to the fact that she is perpetuating the very cycle of violence that she was once a victim of. Of course her goal of ruling the world is profoundly idiotic, but in her mind, if she’ll only feel secure when she’s the most powerful person, because no one up there means no power to hurt her. She precipitated Dracula's fall for that reason because she was intelligent enough to realize that she could never stand up to him at his full power, so she just used the circumstances to her advantage. There are layers and layers of rage in her but also this carapace of cruelty that makes her enjoy taking things away from people. At the end of the day, her simple goal will always be the same ; not being hurt again.

Styria sisters headcanons
Tumblr media
After talking about this with @autumnmobile12 about this yesterday, I thought I might as well share some of my headcanons for the Styria sisters. Some of them are closely based in what we learn in the canon. Others is stuff that I just made up. After all we have very, very little canonical information about them.
Tumblr media
Let's start with Carmilla. Who is probably the one, we do know the most about. We know she got turned by a vampire, who was a "cruel old man" and whom she killed. This makes it quite likely that she in fact does originate from Styria - something that obviously also fits with her novel counterpart.
Part of my headcanon for her as a human is, that even back then she was struggling with the expectations society put on women. Her mother died, when she was young, so first her father and when her father died her older brother put those expectations on her. She fled her first abusive marriage by becoming a nun, but when she was in the monastery her sire saw her and wanted her. At the beginning she came willingly, because she wanted the power he promised. But of course he was just another abuser.
After she killed him, his followers wanted to kill her. But it was Morana, who saved her life. And it was with the help of Morana and Striga that she took over the castle. At the time Morana had her fledgling with her - Laura. Who obviously became her romantic partner.
Oh, and I put Carmilla's birth date into the year 1029.
Tumblr media
I wrote about my headcanon for Lenore before. A lot of my headcanon for her comes from this one bit of dialogue we get for her: (Paraphrasing) "I grew up in a castle just like this two hundred years ago. I was five years old when English soldiers came climbing up the toilet chutes with knives between their teeth."
Now, this tells us she is just around two hundred years old and the place she came from had a violent conflict with England at the time. Around two hundred years before the show, so in the late 13th century, England had two wars happening shortly after the other. First another war with France (I mean, it is England and France, what do you expect?) and then the first war of Scottish Independence.
Given her name (that was actually pretty popular in 13th century Scottland) and her red hair, it would make sense for her to be Scottish.
Now, based on her design, she was also fairly young when she got turned. Probably in her late teens. She clearly looks a lot younger from how her face is drawn compared to everyone else.
Something else that makes a lot of sense, as we know her parents got killed, is that she might well have been taken as a hostage, which was something the English did to Scottish gentry.
From this comes my headcanon: She was born in 1287, making her five years old, when war started. She got taken as a hostage by the English, living in luxury, but very much inside a golden cage. Also suffering quite a bit of abuse. She was made to marry at age 15, got pregnant at age 16, had complications and died during child birth age 17. But she was "lucky" that a vampire was nearby, who took pity on her and turned her. That vampire being Laura, aka Carmilla's girlfriend and Morana's fledgling. The two tried to return to Styria from there, but on the way back Laura got killed by English soldiers.
Lenore did somehow manage to make her way to Styria, though she arrived there as a ferral vamp.
We see in the series quite a bit of tension between Carmilla and Lenore. And this is my headcanon reason for it: Lenore came to Styria without Laura.
Tumblr media
Morana is kinda in an odd position for me. Katie Silva, who designed her, said, she immagines Morana to be from Ancient Sumer. Buuuut... Ancient Sumer as a civilisation ended around 1500BC. Though it included, obviously, Ancient Babylon. And there is kinda my issue. I set Babylon as the origin of vampires. And if there were vampires left from the time, the knowledge about where vampires came from, would not have been lost.
So... I decided she was from Ancient Persia. Specifically from the North of the Ancient Persian empire, though she was living there at a time the empire was already expiring. Though at the same time, vampires were still part of normal society and ruled together with humans.
But of course Ancient Persia was another empire, that ended. So, in the end, her home was turned to dust. And when she became adrift, she was originally with some other vampires from her home. But bit by bit all of them died. Some of them got killed, others chose the sun. Leaving in the end only Morana. She drifted for a bit, but the Romans did not make Europe a hospital place to be at the time - especially as a vampire - so she drifted further east, spending almost five hundred years in Asia. Part of this she spent in Japan together with Cho. But when Cho went off the deep end, she left, returning to Europe in the end.
Something, that she learned over the time, was that cooperation with humans was not possible.
During the middle of the 11th century she ended up with this sick girl, that would not leave her side. Which is Laura. And who was very, very insistent on being turned. So, when Morana looked for a safe place for Laura to spend her fledgling years, she went for one of the vampire kingdoms - Styria. Arriving there just days after Carmilla killed her sire.
It is also, when she meets Striga.
Tumblr media
Lastly we have Striga. My favorite sister. :D Love this wonderful big woman. (All I wanna do, is see you turn into, a giant woman xD)
Now, we do know very little about her, outside of her admittance of not being able to forget an implied to be bad past. She also has an Eastern European accent, though - again - langauge is another messy topic in Castlevania.
I looked into it and her voice actress is from Croatian heritage, so I decided that Striga is from that area. Which would make her of mixed Slavic origin, as before the slavs got to Croatia some Arabian people were living there. It might explain her hair, too.
I am meanwhile fully in agreement with @g-vlssz here, making Striga a trans woman. I just think her design really well fits this interpretation.
My backstory for her is, that she was a human mercenary to feed her family - that is her younger siblings - hunting bandits and monsters. But at some point she got sent after a group of vampires ravaging the country side. This was Lazarus and his men - a vampire stemming from Ancient Rome. When she fought him and managed to hold her own for a bit, leading him to turn her.
Now, just like Carmilla's sire, he was a cruel old man, being abusive towards the men (and the one woman, though Striga was not out at the time) following him. When he learned about Striga's human siblings, he went out of his way to kil them. Striga was with him a good while, until the troop made their way to Styria this one winter as well - just after Carmilla had killed her sire. And when Lazarus tried to take the place over, Striga managed to kill him.
I put Striga's birthday right at the beginning of that millenium. Into the year of 1004.
And, yeah... That is basically my headcanons for the four sisters.
I really adore those four and their sad, sad stories. :D

Rewatching Season 4 and thinking about how much hair Striga has, then thinking soft thoughts of Morana spending hours just brushing Striga’s hair. Morana finds the act relaxing. Obviously Striga does too- probably falling asleep on her once or twice unintentionally. Just tender bonding moments like those.

Hades AU with Castlevania characters with Alucard as Zagreus, Dracula as Hades, and Lisa as Persephone with some twists. Cezar is Cerberus; a giant three headed zombie pug whom Hector gave as a gift to Dracula and baby Alucard. Miranda—the old woman Isaac meets in the animated series—helped her students Hector and Isaac bring a baby Alucard back to life after he died during his birth. Carmilla, Morana, and Lenore are the Furies. Striga is the champion of the arena, and she and Morana are/were lovers. They were sperated by Dracula when he was in his angry phase, and have since been forbidden from meeting each other. Edouard is the court singer who lost his will and love to sing when not only was his male lover forbbiden from seeing him, but also lost his best friend Annette when she was banished deeper in the Underworld after she tried to speak out against Dracula's treatment of his court. Godbrand is Skelly. Trevor and Sypha were Alucard's childhood friends. They grew-up with the Prince of the Underworld, never far from each other. When they tried to speak up to Dracula about his treatment of Alucard—only for Dracula to banish them from the court, making them the guardians (dungeon bosses) of Ashpodel and Elysium respectively. Alucard was too scared of his father back than to speak-up for them. it is his biggest regret and greatest shame. Maybe Richter and/or Julia could be the mini-boss of Trevor's level, while Maria and/or Tera could be Sypha's. Not sure about other characters. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
