* BlindSeer: Certainly inspired by the same archetype that would influence her {{Spiritual Successor}}s, the Fire Keepers. A MysteriousWaif who knows a lot more about the world than one might assume, and who guides the hero on their journey. And her eyes are, of course, covered by wax.

* WrittenByTheWinner: Of a kind. While retelling the history of the world, it recounts how, before the Old One, the world was ruled justly and wisely by its kin. We don't know enough about the world before the Old One to know if this is true, but it certainly has reasons to be biased.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: Being a demon, it is implied that if it weren't for the ankle bracelet literally chaining her into the service of the Monumentals she would be out there, terrorizing the world of man and collecting souls like the rest of them. Of course, this is coming from [[OmniscientMoralityLicense the Monumental]], so best take that with a grain of salt.


Added DiffLines:

* OmniscientMoralityLicense: The Monumentals are godlike beings who's job is to protect the Realm of Mortals from any otherworldly monstrosities that threaten it (i.e. the Old One and [[OurDemonsAreDifferent its kin]]) and uphold reality. What is the Monumental's solution to the current scourge of demons? Open the way for any hapless adventurer out of their depth (like a certain Player Character) and trap their souls to the Nexus for all of eternity, or at least until the scourge has ended, giving them no real choice to turn back. Not only that, but they have permanently enslaved the Maiden in Black to uphold the Nexus, the only hint that [[AmbiguouslyEvil she has it coming]] is from the Monumental itself, so...

The Maiden in Black is said to have once been one of the most powerful Demons in existence. Her ability to harness and manipulate the souls of the player-character certainly seems interesting. She maintains a direct communion with the Old One, and is even able to lull it back to sleep should the character accept her offer, making her considerably more powerful than it.

* DarkIsNotEvil: She has a pretty sinister moniker and an overall creepy vibe, and happens to be one of the most powerful demons around. However, she is the only one who can lull the Old One back to sleep, and wants nothing more than to do so.

* OneManArmy: Though this can be subverted with summoning [[CoopMultiplayer Blue Phantoms]], the game treats the Slayer of Demons as a solo entity that manages to nigh singlehandedly fight back the invasion of Boletaria be it man or demon, albeit likely with a maddening number of deaths under their belt.

** There may be a reason for this.
