##### General

---

*A Hollowed Drangleic priestess found in the Dragon Shrine.  
The reason for her presence there is unclear.  
Did she journey to the shrine in search of a cure for the Curse,  
or was she a resident responsible for performing holy rites?  
As there is no way of knowing this now, it is best simply to put her out of her misery.*<sup>1</sup>
