Malenia

Malenia, Blade of Miquella, later known as Malenia, Goddess of Rot. A Demigod daughter of Queen Marika the Eternal and her second Elden Lord, King Consort Radagon, Malenia was born during the age of the Elden Ring. Like her elder twin brother, Miquella, a dreadful curse afflicted her from birth. The Scarlet Rot, an incurable, radiating sickness, ravaged Malenia, threatening to consume her from within. Although her condition eventually claimed her eyes and several limbs, the Two Fingers identified her as an Empyrean, a candidate to replace her mother as the god of a new age. Miquella worked to undo the curses they had both inherited. While unable to find a cure for his sister within the Golden Order, Miquella designed a needle of unalloyed gold to keep the rot at bay. He also crafted the prostheses that enabled her to continue fighting. At some point, Malenia encountered the legendary blind swordsman of the Flowing Curved Sword, who had long ago sealed away an Outer God of Rot. The swordsman became her master, enabling her to gain wings of unparalleled strength. Malenia eventually became a peerless warrior and her brother's sworn blade and protector. Malenia's slumber is eventually disturbed by a Tarnished, who found their way to the roots of the Haligtree. The two fight, and Malenia finally meets her match, but she suffers her first true defeat. However, in the end, Malenia succumbs to the Scarlet Rot and blossoms yet again, reborn as a nascent goddess. She unleashes her full fury against the invader. Having bloomed twice, Malenia withdraws within her scarlet blossom.
