An updated ref sheet for my Tarnished OC Hildegarda. Closeups and delusional lore ramblings under the cut prints ✦ patreon ✦ more about my OCs

Close ups:

I've been working for weeks on this updated ref sheet for Hildegarda - I wanted her to have a new look for the post main game/post DLC plot. Basically, after striking an accord with Messmer and dealing with Miquella and Radahn together, she goes back to Lands Between to claim lordship and usher the Age of Stars. Ranni brings the Shadow Lands back to Lands Between and 3 of them have funny shenanigans that include slaying gods, burning down Caelid and Haligtree, learning emotional intimacy of forming a bond. The latter one is the most difficult task because all 3 of them are wary of trusting someone else, but somehow their alliance works. Hilde is the glue that keeps them all together, because her patience and compassion know no limits.

Hildegarda's weapons broke upon slaying Miquella and Elden Beast, so she forged new ones/altered the ones she found or got as gifts. I had lots of fun altering in game weapons and mixing together different armour sets to find something that works for her, and I'm very happy about the result. I was afraid of adding intense red to her colour scheme, because Hilde is all about cold colours, but I think this burgundy works quite well. My friend also noted that it's cool that this colour isn't the same as Messmer's scarlet - they're devoted to each other, and Hilde is loyal to him, but also doesn't lose herself in this union, and she managed to create something new from herself.

As for her weapons, the essence of Hilde's fighting style remains the same. The staff can be combined with the sword to form a magical Halo Scythe (now it's infused with cold magic) and one of the swords is imbued with Messmer's shadowy flame. The Star-Lined katana that I use in the game is now a light greatsword (Carian Sorcery sword (the one that fot imbued with messmerflame) is now a light greatsword too instead of the thrusting sword we see in the game) because I feel like their theatrical and dance like moveset suits Hildegarda more.

Here are some of the references from the game that I used:
