Sypha was born into a family of witches. When she was very young, her parents were murdered along with many other spellcasters by during the 1400's. This was a result of the vampire Carmilla, who enticed many to take up arms against those who wielded magic. She was found wandering a nearby monastery and given shelter by the monks there. There she learned the ways of the Church and studied their arcane texts as well. When she was finally ready, she managed to contact the spirits of her kin. She vowed that she would avenged them and they opened up her innate abilities. For a period of time she hunted the undead and other creatures of the night, and gained notice by the church. They approved of her methods, as the spells she demonstrated were imbued with the power of god. However she was often chastised for being a heretic and woman.

However in 1476, Dracula had unleashed his minion's on the world after the death of his wife Lisa. The Church sent army to deal with the undead, but they were never heard from again. In desperation, they appointed Sypha to challenge Dracula. Knowing that many in the area were still persecuting witches, she disguised herself as male priest. On the way there within the Mad Forest she was attacked by a cyclops and turned to stone. Luckily she was freed sometime later by Trevor Belmont. Together they journeyed toward Dracula's Castle and made allies of the Cursed pirate Grant DaNasty and Alucard. When Dracula was "defeated", she and Trevor married.

Although she eventually passed, her bloodline lives on through the Belmont, Fernandez, Aulin, and Schnieder families. Her staff is a family heirloom as well, as well as her spellbooks. It is believed that she also created the"Book of Binding" which contains all sorts of spells consumed from vanquished evil beings: Acidic Bubbles, Bind Spell, Dark Inferno, Deathsycthe, Delta Spark, Demonseed, Energy Flow, Featherblades, Fireball, Flame Shot, Ghost Chaser, Greater Fireball, Greater Deathscythe, Greater Summon Skeleton, Heal, Hellfire, Ice Fang, Ice Needle, Nightmare, Piercing Beam, Poison Spores, Raging Fire, Sickle Moon, Splash Needle, Summon Gunman, Summon Skeleton, and Thunderbolt.
