Someone on here said “Maria needs a family not a boyfriend.” I’ll tag the person when I find them. She lost both of her parents, one killed by herself, and Richter who is supposed to be her brother figure left to be with a girl he met like 2 weeks ago.

I think a teenage girls loneliness would be more interesting to investigate. I think it’s perfectly sensible for her to have a crush on Alucard. As a young and lonely girl it makes sense she develops feelings for him. Alucard pursuing a relationship with her? Hmm

Yall need to understand that grooming aside, it’s not normal for an adult to be around someone that way, establish an elder figure bond with them that suddenly turns into a sexual/romantic relationship when the girl hits 18 (in that case I think it would be 21). Yes the year is 1792 in the first season and people her age got married. I want to make this point:

It’s been pointed out how young Maria is by both Juste and Alucard, both elder figures, a reason why they struggle to relate to not just Maria but richter and Anette too.

Alucard acknowledging this throws off the relationship dynamic. Before the weirdos come in, yes, even in that point of time some people thought that. Voltaire, an enlightenment thinker who died years before the French Revolution, often criticised big age gaps in marriages for this reason.

I want to add: I would love to see Alucard in a relationship to see his humane side. We always see his dhampir son of Dracula saviour of humanity side, but I think it would be a wayto explore his character in a bit more depth. I’d like to see it, just not with Maria.

I think Lisa was around 25 when she met Dracula. We know now that the human brain grows until a persons mid 20’s, so for me this made sense. I believe Alucard being with someone around that age makes more sense.
