Ada


Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness
 Cornell finds her lying on the ground in a latter area of Stage 12, the Clock Tower

Ada was the kid sister of the man-beast Cornell. Or, at least, she was led to believe this to be true. In reality, Ada was a survivor of the humans-man-beast war. Cornell took her into his care and nurtured what was a mere infant. She grew up, actually, believing that she was his stepsister. Regardless of their true connection, Ada and Cornell were described to be the perfect brother-sister combination.

Ada's life took a drastic turn, one day, when the forces of evil destroyed her village and kidnapped her from her home. It was Ortega, a former friend of Cornell, who abducted her and delivered her to Death, Actrise and Gilles De Rais for what was sure to be a further sacrifice to their cause.

When Cornell returned home after a long period of ascetic training, he was shocked to find that the village was in ruins and, of even greater concern, that Ada was missing. Through several meetings with his former friend, Ortega, he learned why his sister was kidnapped, and he vowed to save her even at the cost of his own life. While the secret of their true connection gnawed at his soul, he wouldn't let it cloud his better judgment.

Eventually, he located Ada in the castle's clock tower, but it was all a clever ruse: Death swooped in, took her into his skeletal arms, and flew off to the castle keep, hoping that Cornell would follow. Cornell proved to be a worthy hero by clawing his way to the castle heights and dealing the Dark Lord a temporary defeat. Though, evil had other plans: Ada was immediately encapsulated within a crystal, and the fleeting Dracula grabbed on to it with the intention of dragging it down into the underworld with his submerging body--hers was the perfect life-force for yet another of his resurrections.

Cornell acted quickly by expelling his werewolf form, projecting it outward and commanding it to destroy the crystal, to rescue Ada, and to sacrifice itself in her place. While he would never be the same again, his ancient power of transformation gone, the safety of his sister was alone enough to suffice. To further along his healing process, Ada revealed that she knew their true connection, and she didn't think any less of him for it. "Together, we can do anything!" she told the greatly relieved Cornell, his burden lifted.
