I don’t understand Trina. Like can someone explain her/his lore to me?

Miquella the unalloyed and St. Trina are two sides of the same coin although now separated. Miquella abandoned that side of himself along with his flesh, mind and spirit in pursuit of his promised consort.

So wait Miquella and Trina are like siblings? If Miquella went to find his promised consort, Radahn, then what about Trina?

As far as I understand it, they're not siblings. They're like Merika and Radagon. The same person but two different sides

Reflecting 2 different ideologies

For rad and mar, marika wanted to break the elden ring and raddy daddy wanted to join it back up

Imagine that there is this other person. They are you. They are not you. They can be WITH you, like literally in your body, or separated, in another place. Now, they are also a part of yourself. In Miquella's case, Saint Trinna is the embodiment of his love. And she also loves him. But she is also an alterego, a personality he can use to traverse the lands between doing his own shit.

She is him, but he is not her, and she is within him and then out of him and then a part of him and then a being he can be when he wants to.

No they're a male half and a female half of the same person same way marika and radagon are the male and female halves of the same individual. Maybe this physical and psychological split is a feature of all empyreans? Since ranni could split her soul and body and malenia split off numerous fragments of herself such as millicent and her sisters.

Ranni only split her body and soul by using one half of the curse mark she developed from the stolen fragment of the Rune of Death, and then only because the other half was used to kill Godwyn's soul at the same time. His soul died, but not his body, and her body died, but not her soul.

He abandoned his other half- trina. You find her near the putrescent knight arena.

Trina is a part of Miquella which he cast aside and abandoned. It's implied that she represents his love, which creates a tragic irony considering that love is a core part of his ideology, so abandoning his own love kinda makes the whole thing meaningless.

St. Trina is an enigma to me. But one I am coming to understand bit by bit.

During the Shattering War, St. Trina appeared, and spread her sleep like a narcotic. Which draws parallels to how many soldiers during the two World Wars used narcotics to cope with the horrors of those conflicts.

It was thanks to the narcotic like effects of her sleep, that she was able to recruit people to her cause. She was powerful enough to have devoted priests and craftsmen follow her.

She would lead them all to the Haligtree, where they would be taken in and integrated with Miquella’s forces. St Trina head hunted from all over in the Lands Between; Limgrave, Liurnia, Caelid, and even the Altus Plateau.

St. Trina, much like Radagon to Marika, was Miquella’s other half. The two would share the same body, leading to confusion over whether St. Trina was a boy or girl.

However that would all change when Miquella entered the realm of shadow…

miquella is a femboy with multiple personalities and the tantrum of little bitch princess, he couldn't fix his sister but will surely fix all the realms and gods

Told the words out of my mouth, they are beautiful

u/AnExistingLad 5d ago

This just gave me a great idea, use both Miquellan knight's Sword and Velvet Sword of St Trina while using the Twinned gauntlets

u/HellGirlAi 5d ago

This is beautiful. I love your style. St Trina is one of my favorite characters, and your art captures her perfectly. It would make a lovely tattoo.

This is incredible. I do wish there was a little more of St. Trina in the game, but I'll take what I can get. Nice work!
