A new female lead?

So far we've had 2 females as the protagonists (one of 'em "canon" but lets not get into that).. should we get a third?

Does the series really need a third? Should the LoS timeline have a female lead at one point? Would it matter if she was a Belmont/Belnades or not?

hmmm...

I answered no only because we already got a femal lead with the last handheld CV game OOE.

I would not be against a female lead at some point in the future but in the very near future I currently want a male lead.

Provided she's not yet another Belnades type spellcaster, I can get behind this.

I'd prefer to have another main female lead who uses real weapons. I'm a fan of Shanoa, but I'd prefer one who uses more equipment. Also, slight creative note, I'd prefer below the knee boots, since we have so many thigh highs for so many girls now a days, it's getting kinda silly.

Yes, I agree.  We need a female warrior who uses actual weapons.  She could have some magic, but should be mostly a weapon user.  A female Belmont would be perfect.  I'm tired of all the women being nothing but spellcasters.  What we need is a female warrior!

Yeah, an actual female warrior/fighter, what ever! e have so many spell casters it's insane really. Not to mention all the fighter/warrior females come from RPGs. Come on, we need more platformer girls than just Samus people!

Female leads have been done before.  What Castlevania really needs are more Somalian transgender heroes that love goats.

A female Belmont would be a great change of pace.  I wouldn't mind a game starring a female Belnades lead, but at this point I think it might be too predictable...unless its a pre-CVIII gaiden about Sypha (THAT would be awesome).  But if they do decide to give us a female Belmont protagonist....please, no scantily clad bimbo carrying a whip designs.  I appreciate a good sexy virtual female as much as the next adult male, but I'd really like to see a woman wearing something that's actually period correct for once.  A virtual female character can still be sexy without having an exposed midriff and thighs or a halter top with massive cleavage.

Issue with a female belmont is that unless she's like, a sister or something, the Belmont name would be lost due to yknow, marital custom of the female taking the Male's surname.

other than that- and if that is worked around, ive got no issue with it.

That's easily fixable, and it's not something that needs to be thought too hard about. For reference, take a look at my fangame thread.

Its certainly easily fixable- If the belmonts are important as they are, it would be understandable even, if that tradition is foregone so that they keep their name.

Plus not ALL cultures actually do that.

Argentina comes to mind. despite marriage, both keep their surnames. I think. dont remmeber now
