Drolta Tzuentes

is a character in Castlevania: Bloodlines. She is a mysterious old witch and servant of Elizabeth Bartley who used dark magic in order to bring her mistress back to life.
==History==
Some time before 1917, Drolta used black magic to bring Count Dracula's niece, Elizabeth Bartley, back to life. The two then set in motion a plot to resurrect the Dark Lord. Drolta used her magic to animate a Mecha-Knight in an attempt to waylay Belmont descendant, John Morris, and his friend, Eric Lecarde.
The American Castlevania: Bloodlines instruction booklet states that Drolta was an "amateur witch" who "casts a spell which inadvertently brings Elizabeth Bartley back to life". However, the Japanese instruction booklet doesn't have such a description.
==Other appearances==
===Castlevania: Nocturne===
A loose incarnation of Drolta appears in the Netflix original series, Castlevania: Nocturne. Unlike the original character, who had a more quiet involvement in the story, this Drolta plays a much prominent role and her presence is pivotal to push the story's narrative. Drolta is now a very powerful vampire who takes advantage of the social conflicts that have risen during times of the French Revolution in order to clear the path for the coming of the "Vampire Messiah", Countess Erzsebet Báthory (in this aspect, she shares some traits with the original Elizabeth Bartley, who traveled Europe with the final goal to resurrect Count Dracula). Drolta is a black vampire who thrives on her sadism and complete disdain to other people's lives. All that is known about her past is that she was a priestess of the ancient Egyptian goddess of war, Sekhmet, which hints at her possibly having lived for thousands of years.
==Trivia==
*Drolta is based on Dorottya Szentes (Dorotya Semtész), one of Erzsébet Báthory's servants who was one of three people said to have been tried, convicted, and executed as accomplices to the crimes committed by the "Blood Countess".
**This connection was also discussed in an internal fax to Electronic Gaming Monthly, although a notable difference between the historical and game characters was that the latter was not simply an accomplice in the murders, but also directly responsible for planting the idea into Elizabeth Bartley's head beforehand.
*According to Beep! MegaDrive, Drolta might have been an alternate form of Death, explaining her supposed absence from the game. (April, 1994).
