How to use "même" in French : [Part 1]
1. Même = same
J'ai le même livre chez moi // I have the same book at home
C'est pas le même // It's not the same (one)
C'est pas la même chose // It's not the same thing
2. Même = even
Même ma mère a oublié mon anniversaire // Even my mother forgot my birthday
N'y pense même pas ! // Don't even think about it !

Même si = even if
Même s'il s'excuse, je t'interdis de l'inviter à nouveau // Even if he apologises, I forbid you to invite him again.
Children often say things like :
- "Même pas mal " : it's a shortened version of "J'ai même pas eu mal" = it didn't even hurt [you say this to look brave, and most of the time it did actually hurt]
- "Même pas peur" : shortened version of "J'ai même pas eu peur"= I wasn't even scared
- Même pas cap ! : shortened version of "tu n'es même pas capable [de le faire] !" (lit translation : You can't even [do it] !) = Dare you !
3. Soi-Même = oneself/yourself
moi-même = myself
toi-même = yourself
lui-même/elle-même = himself / herself
nous-même = ourselves
vous-même = yourselves
eux-même = themselves
(when the subject isn't defined you'll have to use "soi-même")

I think one of the biggest differences is probably between the Renard women! I don't know much about Maria Renard, but I know she's related to the Belmonts, and that she is a sweet plucky girl who throws pigeons at Dracula! I love her design by the way? Like, she's adorable!
Now, I couldn't find it on the wiki, but I swear it's in the games that Marie from LoS is a Renard! However, I think she's only referred to as Marie Belmont. I don't think she is exactly like Maria, but she is a strong stubborn woman. And one of the only ones who is capable of soothing and helping Gabriel, even after he becomes Dracul. She also refers to him as My Love, and I'm a sucker for that. She was also his childhood sweetheart and wife! She comes back to help him in LoS2, but it's unclear whether or not she is alive again, or is still a spirit that is capable of sometimes coming back when Gabriel needs her most.
