character

Eva Sigrid

Eva

Eva begs Katia for healing, dies on the Left Fang, and uses her last movement to transfer the Crown of the Sepsis Whore.

Story so far

Eva lies unconscious beneath the battle with fifty-one player-killer skulls and almost no health. Li Na blocks healing while Katia cuts away the hand bearing her escape ring and removes her poisoned weapon.

When awakened, Eva shifts from defiance to apology and asks Katia to heal her. Katia says she only wanted to hear fear and pierces Eva's magical breastplate with Eva's former sword.

Before death fully stills her, Eva retrieves the disguised crown from the back of her armor and places it on Katia. The act succeeds even though Eva dies before the crown finishes equipping, leaving the intended curse behind.

Appearance

A snake-faced, four-armed crawler dying in purple armor with a hidden tiara in her lower hand.

Role

Eva's final revenge survives her execution by weaponizing the crown against Katia and Donut.

Relationships

Katia Grim — Katia executes her, but she successfully curses Katia in return.
Li Na — Li Na prevents her healing.
Enchanted Crown of the Sepsis Whore — She conceals and transfers it as her last act.
Left Fang of the Green Sultan — Katia kills her with her own former sword.
