#oc: fair lady Éire

Fair Lady Éire and Henrietta Thistledown, two of my Elden Ring ocs :)

Fair Lady Éire is a leonine misbegotten who led her clan to the Haligtree in its infancy, seeking a better life for her kin. She eventually pledged herself to Miquella, and became something of a one-sided mother figure to him, eternally grateful to the 'cub' who had provided them sanctuary. In a very condensed version of her story, she became, intentionally or not, one of first true subjects of Miquella's charm. Her armor set has bewitching branches entwined in it, as while she would willingly follow Miquella wherever he went, she relied on his charm and influence to be the more 'higher society' figure she is currently. While she considers Miquella her adoptive son, and she his mother, Miquella came to regard her as a deeply loved pet, very useful in her own right. She would have been one of the followers of Miquella if I could make her an NPC in the game, and likely dotes over Thiollier. She begins to doubt in her lord for the first time when she finds the fissure cross-- and likewise, your character would find her curled up around it, clinging to the last shreds of that love when she realizes her son can no longer have any for her (and maybe never did in the same way she thought). She'd also be used by Miquella as a last obstacle before reaching his boss arena, compelled by his branches to fight on his behalf once more-- but a tremor in her hands as she draws her colossal version of Milady betrays that this isn't willing, a la Nameless King. You can use an item in her fight to knock her unconscious instead of killing her, maybe one of Thiollier's poisons to incapacitate her until Miquella is defeated? If you decide to incapacitate rather than kill her, Lady Éire thanks you for your decision, though her grief is understandably insurmountable. She eventually returns to the Haligtree to continue the work Miquella began; perhaps inspired by Sir Ansbach that the new era can be built by mortal hands, and that change does not need to come from the gods. Henrietta feels short to talk about by comparison LOL but she's a tarnished from the Haligtree as well. Despite her title of 'the Hushed', she's rather bold, brash, and lacks a great deal of impulse control. Henrietta was born sickly, and has a combination of chronic fatigue and mild narcolepsy that impact her daily life. She took up worship in St. Trina after teachings from the nearby albinaurics, finding a great deal of respect in a god who would want their domain to cover people like her. Henrietta, much like her patron goddess, is also genderfluid - and prefers to slick his hair back and go by the name Henri when he's feeling more masculine. Henrietta has a draft horse named Lambfeathers that she often uses to get around, with thick blankets instead of saddles so she can sleep easily on his broad back. She would accidentally bully Thiollier I'm afraid just given her nature, but she's always down to clown and would be one of my ocs with a big personal stake in taking down Miquella for what he did to Trina.
