Rose bears Dracula's curse in her right arm. She fights with a whip and other weapon types, so she isn't stuck with just the family whip.

Trevor Belmont is Rose's father and the vampire hunter who defeated Count Dracula with the Vampire Killer, the legendary holy whip. Father and daughter travel down the River Seine after Paris calls for help.

Rose and Trevor arrive together by boat, with Paris visible behind them.

Their opening exchange explains why you follow Rose into the city: she proposes investigating Paris herself, and Trevor agrees to speak with the bishop. He tells her it is time to learn to work alone and carry on the family work.

The Trevor Style Costume is an in-game costume bonus included with Midnight Edition.

Who is Sypha in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse?

Sypha Belnades is Rose's mother. She fought alongside Trevor against Count Dracula, fell victim to Dracula's curse, and died soon after Rose was born.

Before Rose leaves to investigate Paris, Trevor gives her tarot cards that her mother made for her. Sypha wanted Rose to receive them when the moment was right. Those cards become the tarot cards Rose uses to seal every boss she beats.

The Sypha Style Costume is an in-game costume bonus included with Midnight Edition.
