Ringmistress of Illusion, Gwenivar, is A22 of the 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 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 Engines. 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.
