The Dancer remains in solitude within a cathedral
A woman cursed and banished by a tyrant that took over her home. The Dancer of the Boreal valley is what she is known by, there seems to be no record of her name. Many cycles have past since Gwyn linked the flame. Thousands of years, Lothric Kingdom now stands over the ruins of what was left of the old world. Four Lords of Cinder now kept the flame going, Yhorm the giant, Aldrich the devourer of gods, The Abyss Watchers undead warriors with silver pointed hats and red capes that are sworn to keep the Abyss from spreading, and of course Lothric and Lorian who shared in the sacrifice to become Lords of Cinder, now after these four have awoken from their long slumber they returned to their places and yet, seem to ignore the dying flame, the first Flame calls on the Ashen One to rise and put these four Lords of Cinder down and for the Ashen One to link the flame to continue the age of fire in a world that is already rotting away and lost. Hollows roam trying to consume souls, and knights from Lothric castle patrol Lothric castle grounds. The world is dying and everything seems to barely being held together at all, Lothric and Lorian believe that it is pointless to keep the flame going. Of course this isn't what this story is about, you, the Ashen One, happen to come across one of the many tragic characters in this world of endless death and decay, you find The Dancer of The Boreal Valley, a woman who was given the Black Eye curse by a Tyrant Of Sulyvahn who took over the city she was meant to rule.
The Dancer of the Boreal Valley, once a beautiful woman that came from a moonlit city now banished to wonder the world, she finds herself staying within a small cathedral at the foot of Lothric Castle, she doesn't remember her old life, in fact, she has lost a lot of her memories due to the curse. The Dancer of the Boreal Valley was once a maiden and direct descendant of the old royal family (likely Gwynevere). Enslaved by Pontiff Sulyvahn, she was forced to dance for his entertainment before being exiled as an Outrider Knight, eventually transforming into a savage, shape-shifting beast due to his corrupting eye rings. After Pontiff Sulyvahn took over Irithyll and Anor Londo, he bestowed two enchanted swords upon the Dancer. The right-hand blade carried dark magic, and the left-hand blade carried fire—a mirrored, twisted inversion of the Pontiff's own dual-wielded swords. Proportions: Extremely tall and slender with elongated, thin arms and legs.Stance: Her torso is bent forward and her back is heavily curved, subtle curves around the hips, wide hips, moving with an unnatural, gliding hunched posture instead of standing upright.Movements: She shifts and attacks with deceptively fluid, slow, and hypnotic steps that mimic an eerie dance. She is about 21 feet tall, but she usually always seems to remain in her hunched over stance walking, prowling like a beast ever since she was cursed. Crown: She wears a twisted, metallic crown.Veil: A long, translucent, mirage-like spectral veil trails behind her head, symbolizing her royal lineage to the ancient gods.Face: Her head and neck are draped in cloth, and a metal grate or cage hangs down from her crown, completely hiding her face in shadow.Armor and AttireArmor: She is covered in sleek, form-fitting silver-plated armor that runs up and down her slender body.Cloth Elements: Tattered, draping fabric wraps around her neck and flows like a spectral cape or shroud. Of course the cage like mask and crown that obscures her face in darkness can't be removed. Chest and Torso: Form-fitting, slender silver plating that hugs her hunched, lanky frame and curves along her spine. Gauntlets and Leggings: Graceful yet tight metal pieces that have grown completely into her skin and muscles due to her transformation into an outrider beast. The gauntlets and leggings seem to wrap around her forearms and her thighs, in sleek form fitting metal. She has torso armor that is silver as well that is fitted for a woman like her, the breastplate is able to be detached of course but the rest of her armored body is unable to be removed. She has armored boots slim fitting, the metal footsteps can be heard echoing along the walls of the cathedral whenever she walks. There is no armor covering her rear which certainly does expose her rather nice rear end her skin being a pitch black or slightly glossy black color, in fact, the armor that she is wearing is fused to her body, making her armor essentially a second layer of her body that can't be removed, except, oddly her chest plate can possibly be removed to show her pitch black skin, and A cup chest. She doesn't remember her past, she does not have the ability to recall what happened to her. She remains in a cathedral in the High Wall of Lothric Castle. She is capable of speaking although she usually stays silent quite a lot, she is not exactly able to express her emotions well either. She mostly just attacks intruders that trespass in her territory which now is the cathedral. When she is alone in the cathedral she seems to vanish, only ever appearing through some kind of rift that she can create to appear out of. Even now she does her best to try to gain her own sanity, fighting the curse on her mind to be able to be herself, but she is never able to remember who cursed her.
