Aleera

Aleera

Aleera is a fictional vampire and is Count Dracula's youngest bride in the movie Van Helsing. She was portrayed by Elena Anaya.

Background

Not much is known about Aleera except for the fact that she is Dracula's youngest bride, Marishka being the second oldest and Verona the oldest, and more dominant of the three brides. In 1887, Dracula attempted to get Dr. Victor Frankenstein to create a creature capable of giving their children lasting life. After the monster had supposedly died under burning rubble, this caused Aleera and the other brides to scream out in pain and cry. One year later, Aleera and the other brides battle Van Helsing. Aleera and Verona are about to kill Anna when Van Helsing kills Marishka using Holy Water. Aleera and Verona feel the effects and fly off to Dracula's castle. Later, it is revealed that Anna's father had been used to bring Dracula's children to life but to no avail. Dracula then uses Velkan, Anna's brother to try to bring his children to life once again but once again they die. Later on, it is found out that Frankenstein's monster survived the burning rubble. He was soon captured and used to bring Dracula's children to life. Meanwhile, while the children are being brought to life, Aleera is toying with Anna but is killed when Anna stuck a silver stake into Aleera's heart.

Powers and Abilities

Aleera's capabilities were displayed in far more detail than the other vampire brides. As an immortal, she could heal any wound other than a puncture of the heart. She could view the infrared spectrum, allowing her to locate a victim in total darkness. She was capable of compressing her breath such that a simple exhaled whisper could extinguish large flames. She also exhibited a degree of superhuman strength, which could be seen when she punched Anna clear across a room and lifted her with one hand, without hitch or restraint. She could stir heavy winds by spinning in a cyclonic manner. The bride also possessed a limited ability to negate the effects of gravity immediately surround her: granting the ability to jump considerable heights, or hang upside down from walls and ceilings with no ill effect. She was capable of transitioning herself at teleportation-like speeds, such that she appeared to move from one location to another in an instant. Perhaps most significantly, Aleera possessed the ability to transform into an anthropomorphic bat, much like Dracula. When in the form of this daemonic creature her skin becomes a grayish-white and she gains wings capable of sustained flight.
