Darkmoon Knightess

The Darkmoon Knightess (also known by fans as the Lady of the Darkling) is a minor character in Dark Souls. She is voiced by Jenny Funnel, who also voiced Quelana of Izalith.

Location
At the first bonfire in Anor Londo. After arriving from Sen's Fortress, make your way down the stairs and head left.

Plot
The Darkmoon Knightess is one of Dark Sun Gwyndolin's loyal followers and the Fire Keeper of the first bonfire in Anor Londo. As with the other Fire Keepers, the Darkmoon Knightess can upgrade Estus Flasks using Fire Keeper Souls. Like all other Fire Keepers, killing the Darkmoon Knightess will cause the fire she watches over to be extinguished, although players can still warp to it after obtaining the Lordvessel.

Should the player kill Gwynevere, Princess of Sunlight, the Darkmoon Knightess will appear directly in front of the elevator of Anor Londo to punish the deed. Should the player kill Dark Sun Gwyndolin, the Darkmoon Knightess will become hostile towards the player at her usual location, the first Anor Londo bonfire.

She is a member of the Blade of the Darkmoon, and will have unique dialogue with members of her covenant.

Strategy
The Darkmoon Knightess takes a straight melee approach to fighting, although she will take out a talisman and heal if damaged; she can also cast Darkmoon Blade with her talisman, temporarily increasing her damage. She guards with a parrying dagger and will attempt to parry and riposte for high damage; counter this with pyromancies, miracles, sorceries, and jumping attacks. She's fairly fragile at the point in the game most players encounter her.

Drops

 * Fire Keeper Soul
 * Using the Dark Hand on her will yield no humanity.

Backstory
The Darkmoon Knightess is possibly from Carim, due to the fact that she uses a Parrying Dagger. After becoming undead, she travelled to Anor Londo and encountered Dark Sun Gwyndolin, and became a Blade of the Darkmoon.
