Sypha is the granddaughter of the Elder of the Speakers , a group of nomadic scholars, and a sorceress with control over the elements. She was voiced by Alejandra Reynoso in the English version of the show. During the late 15th century in the city of Gresit , Sypha and her fellow Speakers were falsely accused by the Church for the attacks conducted by Dracula 's army.
This led to them being persecuted constantly, but they stayed inside the city to help those in need. At some point, Sypha learned and mastered elemental magic. In , Sypha ventured into the city catacombs alone, determined to find the "sleeping soldier" that would save humanity from Lord Dracula , but when she ventured deep within, she was attacked by a Cyclops and turned into stone.
Fortunately, she was rescued by Trevor Belmont , an exiled vampire hunter who was sent by her grandfather to retrieve her body. After he killed the Cyclops, she was freed from her stone encasement, albeit nauseous.
Initially disliking Trevor for his dry personality, Sypha insisted that she continued her search for the sleeping soldier, although Trevor disagreed, his reasons being the monsters and traps that lurked within the catacombs. When Trevor mentioned that her grandfather believed her to be dead, Sypha reluctantly agreed to return to the Speakers. Returning to the city, Sypha apologized to her grandfather for failing to find the sleeping soldier.
She then argued again with Trevor about the existence of the sleeping soldier. While Sypha believed that there were monsters to protect whatever was in the catacombs, Trevor countered that they were in a part of Dracula's castle. Later near sunset, the Speakers learned from Trevor that they were to be executed by order of the Bishop. Despite the hunter's warnings to run and hide, Sypha and her grandfather refused because they still wanted to help the people of Gresit, and they chose to fight their own personal battles even at the cost of their lives.
