* InconsistentSpelling: His name is spelled "Rihiter" in the Japanese manual of ''Dracula X'' for Super Famicom, and "Richiter" when selecting his mode in ''Portrait of Ruin''.

* InconsistentSpelling: Her ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDespair Harmony of Despair]]'' [[DownloadableContent Character Pack]] spells her name "Maria Rendard".



* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her surname is rendered "Renard" in English, but fans noticed that the Japanese equivalent (ラーネッド, ''Rāneddo'') is closer to "Rarned" or rather a transliteration of the surname "Learned" as seen in other contexts.[[note]]Like the Learned Memorial Library of Doshisha University in Kyoto, named after one Rev. Dr. Dwight W. Learned, a missionary-teacher.[[/note]] Her ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDespair Harmony of Despair]]'' [[DownloadableContent Character Pack]] uses another rendition: "Maria Rendard".

One of the more infamous Belmonts (thanks to ''Symphony of the Night'') and probably Juste's son or at least his grandson. Richter has a girlfriend named Annette, until Dracula suddenly takes an active stance and assaults his home, kidnapping Annette, Maria, and several other women. Richter heads to the castle, saves the maidens, confronts Dracula, and kicks his ass.\\\

Four years later, Richter gets possessed and raises Dracula's castle, acting as its master. He's freed by Alucard, and leaves the rest to him. Since the release of ''Portrait of Ruin'', he is canonically the last full-blooded Belmont to wield the Vampire Killer until Julius Belmont two hundred years later in 1999.

* LethalJokeCharacter: She's a very silly-themed character, even making [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaRondoOfBlood her first game]] LighterAndSofter by choosing her and she regenerates health by eating cakes, but she has a very small hit box, a DoubleJump (one of the first, if not the first, ''Castlevania'' characters with this), can abuse her slides and rolling, has different subweapons than Richter, ''and'' has an insanely high-damage InvulnerableAttack Spell.

*WhatYouAreInTheDark: Briefly implied in his ''Rondo of Blood'' ending, when Dracula clarifies that Mankind's dark desires are what lead to his resurrections. When Dracula asks whether or not Richter himself has any such desires, [[{{Foreshadowing}} Richter briefly stammers only to leave the question unanswered.]]


Added DiffLines:

*DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Maria's ending in ''Rondo of Blood'' involves '''''dressing down and scolding Dracula''''' for being a meanie.

Added DiffLines:

* ReforgedIntoAMinion: In ''Dracula X Chronicles'' Dracula basically transforms Annette into almost a copy of the series' succubus minions from ''Lament of Innocence'' and ''Symphony of the Night'', right down to the near identical lingerie wardrobe, bat wings, and sadistic personality. Annette and the [=SOTN=] succubus even share the same voice actor in the [=SOTN=] redub included with ''Dracula X Chronicles''.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Flanderization}}: In ''Rondo of Blood'', Tera refers to Richter or Maria as a guardian angel sent to rescue her, but it seems like she's speaking figuratively and otherwise converses with them normally. In ''Dracula X Chronicles'', she flat out believes that Richter is God manifest and that Maria is the Virgin Mary, much to Richter and Maria's confusion, and continues to speak as such even after they repeatedly try to correct her.

Four years later, when Richter vanishes, an [[SheIsAllGrownUp all grown up]] Maria goes to look for him. After a year of no success, Dracula's castle appears, as if to show her the way, and inside she ends up meeting Alucard and works together with him.
