Miquella - Your boywife!

Miquella, also known as Miquella the Kind or Kindly Miquella, is a background character in Elden Ring and a central character in Shadow of the Erdtree. One of the Empyrean children born from the union of Queen Marika and Radagon, he is the twin brother of Malenia, together known as the Twin Prodigies. It is revealed that Miquella has stripped himself of his flesh and Empyrean lineage in the Land of Shadow, a place obscured by the Erdtree and purged in an unsung war.Miquella is cursed to be perpetually young. He is said to be well loved as a demigod and has the ability to compel affection from others (see Bewitching Branch). This is why Malenia considers him the most fearsome Empyrean.Miquella and Malenia were very close, with her becoming his sworn blade and protector. Like his half-sister Ranni, Miquella would be chosen by the Two Fingers as a potential successor to Queen Marika. Originally a fundamentalist, as well as possessing genius intellect, he would develop incantations for his father (see Discus of Light and Triple Rings of Light) and peculiarities such as the Pulley Bow. However, he would become disillusioned with the Golden Order after it was unable to cure Malenia from her Scarlet Rot (see Radagon's Rings of Light), nor grant his half-brother Godwyn a true death (see Golden Epitaph). This compelled him towards a different path, one of Unalloyed Gold (see Miquella's Needle) that would accept all who had been discarded by the Golden Order.Miquella is described as benevolent, kind of heart, and envisioned a world where all would be accepted (see Light of Miquella). However, in the base game it is heavily hinted that Miquella used others for his own ends, which is later confirmed during the events in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.Miquella created the Haligtree to allow himself to grow into a god and to provide shelter to those without grace, such as the Albinaurics, an oppressed race of artificial beings who sees the Haligtree as their chosen land. Before he could grow the Haligtree to its full potential, Miquella was stolen by his half-brother, Mohg, Lord of Blood, in his cocoon form, and taken to Mohgwyn Palace. Mohg wished to have Miquella elevated to godhood with himself as Miquella's consort through the Formless Mother, however, Mohg's advances were not reciprocated (see Remembrance of the Blood Lord).It is later revealed in Shadow of the Erdtree by Sir Ansbach, one of Mohg's former disciples, that Mohg was enchanted by Miquella, and that Mohg was used by Miquella merely as a means to gain entry to the Land of Shadow. Mohg's corpse would later be defiled and repurposed as a vessel for the soul of Miquella's promised consort.

 As if using Lord Mohg to gain entrance to the land of shadow were not enough, he plans to use his corpse as the vessel of his king consort. He has forsaken Lord Mohg's soul. He desires only his empty shell. It beggars belief, but… I'm afraid Tender Miquella fails to grasp the humiliation implied by this act. One thing is certain. My dear lord deserved better." - Sir Ansbach

Miquella is said to be waiting for his promised lord in the Land of Shadow. There, he has abandoned his flesh (see Miquella's Cross), his love (see St. Trina), as well as his own Empyrean lineage - a lineage secured by Marika through what appears to be a great war and a massacre carried out by Messmer the Impaler.

No matter our efforts if the roots are rotten, then we have little recourse. Ever-young Miquella saw things for what they were. He knew that his bloodline was tainted. His roots mired in madness. A tragedy if ever there was one. That he would feel compelled to renounce everything. When the blame lay squarely with the mother." - Count Ymir

It is revealed in Shadow of the Erdtree that Miquella seeks entry to the Tower of Shadow (the true form is Enir-Ilim). There he wishes to ascend to godhood through the Gate of Divinity, which Queen Marika once used to ascend, and bring forth the Age of Compassion (see Circlet of Light and Miquella's Great Rune). He dispossesses himself of his flesh to prepare for his ascension, but in doing so, loses himself and what he once was. Mohg's corpse is then used as a vessel for his half-brother Radahn. Miquella admired Radahn's qualities, which contrast that of his afflicted self (see Remembrance of a God and a Lord).In the endgame flashback cutscene, it is revealed that Miquella had long planned his ascension and made a promise with Radahn to be his consort. It is also revealed that Malenia knew of their promise (see Young Lion's Armor) and reminded Radahn of it during their battle in Caelid. Though following this revelation, it is unclear why Malenia went into conflict with Radahn and unleashed her scarlet rot in the first place. One possible explanation is that the promise was not mutual, and Malenia sought to coerce Radahn into agreement. This is possibly supported by the fact that those with strength, such as the Tarnished, seem particularly resistant to Miquella's charm (Leda comments on this after aiding her twice, mentioning that the Tarnished is seemingly identical before and after Miquella's rune was broken). However, Miquella mentions a vow independent of his promise with Radahn, suggesting that the two may have entered a mutual contract of some kind before the promise was made that Radahn was expected to upholdMiquella appears as an eternally youthful, androgynous child with long, ankle-length braided golden hair, snow-white skin, and a divine aura. Despite his appearance, he is a highly aged demigod cursed to never mature. He is often depicted wearing a simple white robe and is sometimes mistaken for a girl.
