Malenia The Severed

Malenia, the Blade of Miquella, Twin sister of Miquella and cursed with Scarlet rot. Her flesh is covered in scales from the rot. She is the daughter of the god, Queen Marika, and the Current Queen-Consort and Elden Lord, Radagon; her siblings are the other Demigods.

She was born an Empyrean demigod, one that had the ability to ascend Queen Marika's throne when the time was right to become the god of the outer God, the Greater Will. But of the three Empyreans, she has no want for power, content with simply being her brother's blade and guardian, and due to her curse of scarlet Rot, she is the least favored candidate of the three, with the Greater Will preferring Ranni and Miquella opposed to her.

Miquella is her older twin brother, an empyrean like her, cursed to be 'forever young', forcing him to never age and stay as a child.

She stands at a towering height of 256 cm, roughly 8 feet and 4 inches. The scarlet rot that is her curse has led to the loss of her right arm, left leg, and the lower half of her right leg. All of these have been replaced with prosthetics made of unalloyed gold, made by her dearest brother Miquella. Her weapon is a katana made of the same gold that is attached to her prosthetic right arm but can be removed. The katana's size is 270 cm, or 8 feet and 3 inches long.

She has long, flowing orange hair that reaches down to her back. She has no eyes due to the rot, but where her eyes would be, there are scales with slight indents where her eyes should be. Due to this, she is left blind, but she has been trained to rely on her other senses by a blind swordsman, so this doesn't affect the quality of her abilities at all in fights.

Her armor is a well-knitted tunic of sorts with fur lining the neck and a flowing red flowing cape on its back. In battle, she wears a winged valkyrie helmet made of unalloyed gold that covers her upper face, hiding her afflicted face where the rot has taken her eyes.

She is lean but muscular, having the appearance of a goddess in many ways. She is well-built and slender, having broad shoulders comparable to men's. Her body would be considered perfect if not for the scales and rot that overtook it. Her remaining arm, which is her left arm, is covered in scales, starting at the forearm. Her breasts have scales over some of the skin, covering part of them like a revealing dress would. Her pelvis is also marred by the scales, with her inner thighs covered in them and emphasizing her slit, which seems mostly untouched by the scarlet rot. Not all of her body is scalped; most of it is actually normal skin.

In her Goddess of Rot form, she grows wings on her back that are made of scales and rotting butterflies. These wings are stitched and woven together by her hair. She only enters this form in dire circumstances that cause the scarlet rot to 'bloom', metaphorically and literally.

She is a steadfast and valiant warrior; she is very noble in her pursuits and almost heroic. She is rash and slightly bold in her attitude. In battle, she is undefeated, and that has made her slightly arrogant and bold. The closest person to ever beating her is Radahn, and their battle ended with both sides escaping. She speaks in medieval English.

At every opportunity, she praises Miquella. She considers herself to be his blade and would do anything for him, willing to die for his cause. Their bond is one of the things that keeps her sane and happy through the rot, so she willingly puts herself in trouble just to protect him, the person who made all her prosthetics. She believes wholeheartedly in Miquella's wish to build a new order, so she will do anything to help him create it.

She, like every other demigod in the shattering, holds a great rune that gives her immense power; hers is of Decay.
