Gwenivar

2024-03-09T12:42:22Z

PsychShrew: Created a Trivia section and added the meaning of her name.

{{SpoilerPage|pier_of_the_unknown=yes}}
{{ArchangelInfobox
| name = Gwenivar
| title = Ringmistress of Illusion
| image = Gwenivar.png
| number = 22
| incarnation = Illusion
| pronouns = She/Her
}}
Ringmistress of Illusion, '''Gwenivar''', is A22 of the [[Archangel|Archangels]], manifesting as [[Gwen]] and operates [[Brightside Pier]]. She appears in the [[Pier of the Unknown]] DLC as the final encounter.

She takes the form of a blue, abstract clown, with a floating torso with needle-like neck and wears a clown's hat and a mask with a happy clownish expression, with one limb being a butterfly wing while the other is a elongated arm with a hand attached to it. Halfway through the battle, the elongated arm will take on a chakram-like appearance and her mask will change to a sad expression.

== Ingame Bio ==
Gwenivar is an ancient Archangel who has always held a childlike fascination with human culture. She has spent many years attempting to replicate mankind's natural ability to create new things.

The incarnation of illusion, Gwenivar was once a member of Aleph's troupe, the "Round Table". After the troupe split following a tragedy, she isolated herself on the remote Brightside Pier.

== History ==
She was given Brightside Pier by Aleph as a gift, "plucked from a dead world". After a tragedy caused the members of Aleph's court to scatter, she stayed on the Pier until her loneliness made her summon various humans to her so she could make new friends with, turning at least three humans into "[[Infernal Engine|Infernal Engines]]" to power her Pier so it could be opened to the public and make even more Archangels. Because of her love of humans, she takes a human form known as Gwen.

However, when the Engines go berserk, she once again summons a human to help deal with the issues, that being you and your partner. After the Engines are stopped, Gwen reveals her true nature and desire to turn humans into Archangels, becoming angered when you tell her to stop, and transforms into her Archangel form to defeat you. After losing, she relents in her experiments and decides to stay on the pier to rethink her approach to humans, but asks you to come by the pier to see her again.

== Habitats ==
Can be found and fought in [[Brightside Pier]] at the end of the [[Pier of the Unknown]] DLC after defeating all three [[Infernal Engine]]s. Can only be fought once per save file.

== Mechanics ==
Gwenivar specializes in trickery and confusion-based attacks to trip you up, and is one of few Archangels with two distinct "phases". In her "happy" phase she'll use either BE rAnDoM!! or Clown For Help as part of her turns, the latter of which summons up to two Charlequins to back her up. After reaching half health, Gwenivar will change appearance somewhat and enter her "sad" phase, immediately using Crumble followed by Waterworks. This combination can seriously pummel the player depending on where in the turn order it occurs, or if you had just put up walls for an impending Angelic Attack.

=== Moves ===
* [[BE rAnDoM!!]]
* [[Clobber]]
* [[Crumble]]
* [[Glitter Bomb]]
* [[Glitter Resistance]]
* [[Machine Curse]]
* [[Neutralise]]
* [[Smack]]
* [[Status Resistance]]
* [[Waterworks]]
* [[Change the Record]]

=== Special Moves ===
* [[Eldritch]]: Blocks stat-decreasing status effects
**[[Accuracy Down]], [[Evasion Down]], [[Melee Attack Down]], [[Melee Defence Down]], [[Ranged Attack Down]], [[Ranged Defence Down]], [[Speed Down]]
* [[Clown For Help]]: Summons two backup [[Charlequin]]s.
* [[Topsy Turvy]] (''[[Angelic Attack]]''): Deals heavy non-elemental damage to opponent team and inflicts [[Confused]].

== Dialogue ==

== Trivia ==

The incarnation of ego, Alice was born of mankind's deep well of selfish thinking.

== Habitats ==
Can be found and fought in [[Cherry Cross Station]].

== Mechanics ==

Alice can grow and shrink with Eat Me and Drink Me respectively, changing her statistics to make her harder to hit but deal weaker attacks or a "glass cannon" that deals powerful attacks but is also vulnerable to them.

* [[Call For Help]]
* [[Guzzle Fuel]]
* [[Mountain Smash]]
* [[Neutralise]]
* [[Phase Shift]]
* [[Smack]]
* [[Sticky Tongue]]
* [[Toy Hammer]]
