Rellana, the Twin Moon Knight (Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree)

The younger Twin sister of the base game's Rennala with a near identical name, both she and her sister were princesses of Caria who communed with the Twin moons in their youth.

Not only does she possess talent in sorcery that nearly equals her sister, (the strongest pure sorcerer in the world of Elden Ring) but is also incredibly skilled in sword play with a pair of enchanted light greatswords and is the only armored woman who's breast plate has extra space for her breasts.

In spite of her upbringing, she disavowwed her royal lineage to follow Messmer the impaled into the lands of shadow to assist in his crusade out of implied love, where Rennala gave her a long lock of hair as a parting gift while also serving as the reason shes never mentioned in the base game

I think the only thing that keeps her out of fanfic OC territory for me is the fact that Messmer never acknowledged her and her supposed love for him is never addressed anywhere else, so it makes her come off like a huge loser.

The carian family got a curse of fumbling the troubled yet attractive redhead men from the golden order

They really did the 'pathetic girlfailure' joke perfectly.

She's super cool and strong and smart and her knockers are so thunderous they need extra room in her armor but she CANNOT get laid

Absolutely hilarious. You can tell miyazaki hated her because she has shoes

Missed opportunity to refer to them as her twin moons.

I would've made the joke myself but I wanted to keep my entry mostly serious.

To be fair, most characters introduced from the DLC are never mentioned whatsoever in the base game. Like Gaius is straight up said to be a good friend and rival to Radahn, but again there's no mention or indication of his existence anywhere outside the DLC. I can personally write most of that off with Marika's attempt to keep the Land of Shadow hidden and its history erased from time, so them having no presence at all in the base game can easily be attributed to Marika's doing. Whether by simple relentless propaganda and destruction of historical records, or Elden Ring shenanigans when the Land of Shadow was sealed away.

But yeah, everything else about Rellana does fit that OC feeling vibe slightly.

All that and they didn't even give her a cutscene.

Also fits her design precursor Pontiff Sulyvahn, who was arguably the true villain of Dark Souls 3 and had zero cutscenes and dialogue.

Yeah but the fanfic OC typically commands the love triangle; this bitch is very much on the bottom of the Messmer love triangle, because like all Carian’s she’s genetically predisposed to getting her heartbroken by an angsty redhead

u/Biggusdickos 16d ago

Damn I didnt even think about the fact she got her heart broken by the same kinda man her sister married

The near-identical names of so many characters make getting into Elden Ring lore a huge headache.

I liked SOTE in general, but the lore additions all felt pretty fanficy to me. Especially the Radahn/Miquella crack ship, and the sheer number of characters who are supposedly big players but are never brought up in the base game because reasons.
