History Characters / DarkSoulsIISecondaryCharacters

* CallBack: In the Black Gulch, she speculates that the Curse is possibly one that everyone is born with. And according to a Primordial Serpent Kaathe in [[''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' the previous game]], she's more correct than she'll ever know.
** In addition, her meeting up with The Bearer of the Curse over the course of the story and helping with various boss fights, while also fighting to retain her sanity, is reminiscent of [[VideoGame/DarkSouls Solaire of Astora]].

* DefrostingIceQueen: To a degree, as she was somewhat curt when she first meets your character. She softens up almost immediately though.

* TheFogOfAges: Her curse is slowly fading her memories, the earliest ones first, and it absolutely ''terrifies'' her. Her fear at [[LossOfIdentity losing her own identity]] is so great that by the time of ''Dark Souls III'', it still lingers within her sword, now called the [[WeaponOfXSlaying Hollowslayer Greatsword]], and does more damage to said enemy type.

* RecurringElement: Shares a lot of traits with Solaire from the previous game. She's a tough, friendly, and heroic knight who helps the player a great deal along their journey, [[spoiler:but eventually succumbs to despair and insanity without the player's intervention.]] Perhaps unintentionally, she also shares Solaire's nature of being [[MadeOfIron incredibly tough]], but also [[ArtificialStupidity incredibly dumb]].

** By Dark Souls 3: [[spoiler: There's a whole type of mask named after her. The Bearer kept their promise and then some.]]
** Tragically, she had a Human Effigy on her earlier on, but she gives it to you instead, and she makes it clear she has no idea what it is for. Of course, you, being a HeroicMime, [[ButThouMust have no method of informing her]].

* WalkingTheEarth: Much like Benhart, you encounter and chat with her several time throughout your journey.

* ActionGirl: She's a capable swordswoman who can help The Bearer of the Curse in several boss fights if you summon her.[[labelnote:note]]She can be summoned to fight the Flexile Sentry, the Rotten, The Smelter Demon, and the Lost Sinner for main game bosses. If you have the ''Scholar of the First Sin'' edition of the game or the ''Crown of the Ivory King'' DLC for regular editions, she can be summoned for the Burnt Ivory King boss fight as well.[[/labelnote]]
* AlwaysNeedWhatYouGaveUp: Early on, Lucatiel gives the player character a Human Effigy, not knowing what it is. Her own memories begin fading not long after, being completely unaware that using it could help her stave off the Curse she fears so much for a time. [[HeroicMime And you’re unable to tell her this either]].

** Depending on The Bearer of The Curse’s interaction with her, one of two possibilities seem to occur. The “bad” ending — when she isn't summoned for and kept alive for at least three boss fights[[labelnote:note]]The Flexile Sentry, the Rotten, the Smelter Demon, and the Lost Sinner.[[/labelnote]] before reaching her quest’s end — implies that [[spoiler:she goes hollow in the end]]. In the “good” ending where she was summoned for several boss fights and kept alive for at least three of them, [[spoiler:she thanks you for keeping her sanity and doesn't come after you later, like most other [=NPCs=]-turned-enemies, which may imply that she survives and lives on. She also gives you a spare set of her gear and wants you to promise her that you’ll remember her name. And as ''VideoGame/DarkSouls3'' reveals, the Bearer of the Curse not only kept their promise, they made sure the whole world would know her name by rechristening the type of mask she wore as “Lucatiel’s Mask.”]]
** In ''VideoGame/DarkSouls3'' you can obtain what appears to be her sword, called the “Hollowslayer Greatsword,” when you transpose the boss soul of the Curse-Rotted Greatwood. Since the cursed being had been given many things that hollows feared and wanted to be rid of, its possible Lucatiel died long before the events of that game occur, but given that time doesn’t flow fluidly and that no fate is given on her status at the end of the game it’s left ambiguous if she died or somehow lost her sword.
* ArtificialStupidity: Lucatiel as a NPC summon has a rather slow A.I. pattern that takes some time to even react, which is not helped by the areas you find her in being full of {{Bottomless Pit}}s, often making her fall to her doom. Thankfully her stats — noticeably her [[MadeOfIron health]] — are much higher in order to compensate for this weakness.
* CallBack: In the Black Gulch, she speculates that the Curse is possibly one that everyone is born with. And according to a certain Primordial Serpent in the previous game, she's more correct than she'll ever know.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Completing her questline has her thank the player for helping her retain her sanity, which seems odd when all you do is summon her for a few boss fights and keep her alive to the end. However, ''that's the other way to reverse Hollowing'' for players, and thus, it's the same for Lucatiel also.
* GaveUpTooSoon: If you've been summoning her for boss fights, her adventure ends just outside Aldia's Keep, and she will finally go Hollow without managing to find her brother whom she came to Drangleic to search for. Once you take two steps ''inside'' the Keep, however...

* HunterOfHisOwnKind: Whether it was her fear of the curse or a general hatred of the undead, her sword ''Hollowslayer'' is especially effective against other undead, whom she certainly fought as she traveled Drangleic anyway.

* ActionGirl: She's a ''very'' capable swordswoman who helps The Bearer out in ''SEVERAL'' major boss fights!
* AlwaysNeedWhatYouGaveUp: A tragic version. Early on, [[spoiler: Lucatiel gives the player character a Human Effigy, not knowing what it is. Her own memories begin fading not long after]].
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Subverted. Lucatiel herself claims that her brother, Aslatiel, was always the better swordsman, yet Lucatiel [[spoiler: ends up faceing off against and contributes to the defeat of ''THREE'' Old Ones, a Smelter Demon, and ''THE BURNT IVORY KING'' alongside his army of Charred Loyce Knights alongside The Bearer]]! She [[spoiler: can also manage to keep her sanity, while her brother becomes reduced to a mad Red Phantom]].
** In addition to this, Lucatiel's sword is notably much stronger and more efficient than the one that Aslatiel uses when the two are compared side-by-side.
* AmbiguousEnding: Depending on The Bearer of The Curses interaction with her, one of two possibilities seem to occur. Once outcome, [[spoiler: where she isn't summoned for and isn't kept alive for at least two fights]], implies that [[spoiler: she goes hollow in the end as she asks you to remember her name]]. In the second outcome, [[spoiler: where she was summoned for several fights and kept alive for at least two of them]], she [[spoiler: thanks you for keeping her sanity and doesn't come after you later, like most other [=NPCs=]-turned-enemies, which may imply that she survives and lives on]].
* ArtificialStupidity: Lucatiel as a NPC summon has a rather slow A.I. pattern that takes some time to even react, which is not helped by the areas you find her in being full of {{Bottomless Pit}}s, often making her fall to her doom. [[spoiler:This is mostly averted in the final stretch of the ''Crown of the Ivory King'', where she can keep up with the group of badasses that are the Loyce Knights.]]
* CallBack: In the Black Gulch, she speculates that the Curse is possibly one that everyone is born with. [[spoiler:According to a certain Primordial Serpent in the previous game, she's more correct than she'll ever know.]]
** In addition, her meeting up with The Bearer over the course of the story and helping with various boss fights, while also fighting to retain her sanity, is reminiscent of [[VideoGame/DarkSouls Solaire of Astora]].
* CoolMask: She wears a bearded mask, perhaps to hide her partially decaying face. [[spoiler:When you trade a Vertebra Shackle with the crow in VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII to get it, it is even referred to as Lucatiel's Mask, as opposed to the rest of the Mirrah Set.]]

* TheFogOfAges: Her curse is slowly fading her memories, the earliest ones first, and it absolutely ''terrifies'' her. Her fear at losing her own identity is so great that by the time of ''Dark Souls III'', it still lingers within her sword, now called the [[WeaponOfXSlaying Hollowslayer Greatsword]], and does more damage.

* BadassBaritone: His voice is deep, but soft and soothing.

* GutturalGrowler: He has a very deep and very gravelly voice, [[BadassBaritone yet another sign]] that he's no one to be messed with.

* BilingualBonus: ''Orni-'' is the Greek root for "bird" and ''fex'' is the Latin root for "feces".

* JoustingLance: Felicia's WeaponOfChoice is the rare and mighty Heide Greatlance, but for some strange reason, it's inherent [[ShockAndAwe Lightning damage]] is missing. This seems to be [[{{Nerf}} intentional on the developers' part;]] as otherwise it would mean that she was supposed to be very effective at eliminating enemies across the watery Shrine of Amana and additionally allowed her to deal a respectable amount of damage to the Ruin Sentinels.

* LightningBruiser: Contrary to what his WeaponOfChoice and billowing armor would suggest, Glencour is very quick on his feet, and is an excellent support against the bosses he can be summoned for. If he's not attacking or parrying, he'll usually be rolling around to dodge attacks before getting back into the thick of it.

* MagicStaff: Her WeaponOfChoice is the rare Staff of Amana, which boasts a PowerCrystal whose special effect is to amplify the strength of it's wielder's sorceries or hexes by a huge margin as long as they're human.

* AnAxeToGrind: He wields a Dragonslayer's Crescent Axe. [[spoiler:Although due to its lack of lightning damage, it may be an imitation, the same as his "knighthood". That said, it does deal lightning damage in ''Dark Souls III''.]]

* ShesGotLegs: O'Harrah wears the Black Witch Trousers, which is a skirt [[CombatStilettos with heels]] when worn by a female that shows off her bare legs. Normally it would be completely covered up by the Black Witch Robe, but O'Harrah wears the Monastery Longshirt instead.

* NiceHat: Courtesy of the Tseldora Set he wears.

* NiceHat: She sports a pimped out hat that wouldn't look out of place in a late-Renaissance era.

* NiceHat: His blue beret.

* NiceHat: Her Hunter's Hat.

An immensely intelligent and powerful pyromancer mulishly masquerading as a lowly court entertainer, disguised in the Jester's Set and duly dangerous for just being able to cast ''[[UpToEleven twelve]]'' pyromancies. He can be summoned for the fight against Mytha, the Baneful Queen, and appears once more in the ''Crown of the Sunken King'' DLC. [[spoiler:[[FaceHeelTurn Only this time...]]]]

* KnifeNut: He appears to favor daggers.

* KnifeNut: Trying to aggro her will make her brandish a Bandit's Knife (along with some powerful miracles), and she is surprisingly skilled with it. [[spoiler:She also wields one as the Nameless Usurper.]]

* GiftedlyBad: Rosabeth has a great passion for learning sorcery, but absolutely sucks at it. Also an inversion; she is very adept at pyromancy, but couldn't care less about it.
* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]: She's one of friendliest and most polite characters in the game, and gifts you a Prism Stone as thanks for unpetrifying her.

* RapunzelHair: She's got waist length hair done into a braid that starts at about her shoulder blades.

* TheTease: When you talk to her, she occasionally says "I've only one thing to provide and we both know what that is!" in a suggestive tone.

* TheLoad: While a wonderful ally to have during the trek to the Demon of Song, Felicia is not so much that wonderful of an ally when she's actually pitted against the boss, who is a much stronger MightyGlacier on top of being NighInvulnerable for the most part. She can still pull her weight regardless of her disadvantages by acting as a distraction during the boss fight, but chances are she'll get herself killed before long.

* UnfriendlyFire: Hilariously, her jumping attack [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNDAQ3y0xdA can kill you]]. Whether or not this particularly perplexing ([[ActuallyPrettyFunny and honestly funny]]) glitch has been fixed as of ''Scholar of the First Sin'' has yet to be confirmed.

%%* FanNickname: Dyna and Tillo are often called "Smooth and Silky" by the fandom if only for the fact it's what they want from you the most.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: He wields a Magic Shield in battle, if only for it's high resistance against sorceries.

* BadassBeard: He's got a gray beard.

* BadassBeard: He's got a closely trimmed WizardBeard that is completely white.

* BadassBeard: He's got a thick brown beard.

* BadassBeard: He has a thin black goatee.

* BadassBeard: Much like the rest of his clansmen, Gavlan is outfitted with a rough beard that predominates anything that's not covered by his helmet.

* BadassBeard: A well groomed one at that.

--> '''Voiced by:''' Peter Serafinowicz

* LossOfIdentity: What she fears more than anything else is the slow forgetting of herself that her Curse is causing. She even bids the Bearer of the Curse to remember her name when she finally forgets it. [[spoiler:As is shown with Lucatiel's Mask in ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'', The Bearer did, to the point where a ''whole type of mask'' is named after her]]

* CoolMask: She wears a bearded mask, perhaps to hide her partially decaying face. [[spoiler:When you trade a Vertebra Shackle with the crow in ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII to get it, it is even referred to as Lucatiel's Mask, as opposed to the rest of the Mirrah Set.]]

* TheFogOfAges: Her curse is slowly fading her memories, the earliest ones first, and it absolutely ''terrifies'' her. Her fear at losing her own identity is so great that by the time of ''Dark Souls III'', it still lingers within her sword, now called the [[WeaponOfXSlaying Hollowslayer Greatsword]].

* LossOfIdentity: What she fears more than anything else is the slow forgetting of herself that her Curse is causing. She even bids the Bearer of the Curse to remember her name when she finally forgets it. [[spoiler:As is shown with Lucatiel's Mask in ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'', you did.]]

* UnfortunateName / BilingualBonus: ''Orni-'' is the Greek root for "bird" and ''fex'' is the Latin root for "feces".

** A darker theory states that he became The Rotten, or at least the body that seems to direct (or at least telegraph) the hulking mass. The Rotten obsessively contructs mechanical statues, much like Pharros' hobby of making devices. Cutting of the arm from which the body hangs gives you one of his lockstones. Cut item descriptions of the Rotten's soul (as well as the fact that the Crown of the Sunken King DLC is accessed from its bosschamber) contradicts this, however.
