St. Trina is an enigmatic figure. Some say she is a comely young girl, others are sure he is a boy. The only certainty is that their appearance was as sudden as their disappearance.- Sword of St. Trina
St. Trina is an enigmatic and fleeting individual who is said to appear in dreams.[2] While they are generally thought to be a young girl or boy, St. Trina is sometimes depicted in an adult form that is said to be unnerving to look at.[3] St. Trina appears as a slumbering child with flowing violet hair swaddled within the nurturing petals of a motherly purple flower. Drinking its nectar will surely bring eternal rest.
St. Trina is an aspect of Miquella that was split off and discarded along his path through the Land of Shadow.[4] She lies at the bottom of the Stone Coffin Fissure, within the Garden of Deep Purple. Trina was Miquella's fate, [5] and she embodied his love,[6] and she continued to love him after abandonment.[7] For this reason, she wished for Miquella to be granted forgiveness in death,[8] for she knew that his godhood would be his prison.[9]
Followers[]
Trina has attracted a following of priests rumored to use sleep-inducing arrows for ritual purposes.[10] A man was once so utterly captivated by St. Trina that he was said to have searched for her in his sleep. This obsession led to the creation of numerous remedies for invoking dreams.[11]Dolores the Sleeping Arrow and Thiollier were followers of St. Trina.[10] The Putrescent Knight became devoted to St. Trina after imbibing her nectar.[12]
St. Trina is depicted as a young woman in the story trailer but appears as a girl in-game. Miquella is a young man when exiting the Gate of Divinity but a boy during the flashback.
The scene of St. Trina falling is displayed when Leda mentions Miquella abandoning his fate in the story trailer.
Trina's Lily is seen as a symbol of faith in the saint, and it is used to dull the senses and prevent agitation.[14]
Trivia[]
The unmarked location in Altus Plateau where the Amber Starlight is found is internally referred to as "St. Trina's Hideaway", and features a statue of Miquella and his twin, Malenia.
There were several hints that Miquella and St. Trina were closely related prior to the release of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
Both St. Trina and Miquella are typically characterised as children and are both associated with water lilies.
Fevor's cookbooks were made by a devout of St. Trina, containing crafting recipes related to her powers of slumber. One of them contains the recipe for the Bewitching Branch, an item originating from Miquella, blessed with an incantation of Unalloyed Gold.
An additional voiceline was cut from Shadow of the Erdtree. If the player visited Trina and drank her nectar after defeating Promised Consort Radahn she would have thanked the player for their deed before finally withering.[15]
Several early iterations of St. Trina were cut from Elden Ring during development. These stories involved collecting Slumber Fog with St. Trina's Crystal Ball.
In one version, St. Trina of the Cradlesong granted succour to the Nomadic Merchants by singing a lullaby to alleviate the Frenzied Flame and help them sleep.
In another version, Reeling Rico used Slumber Fog to produce Dreambrew, an alcoholic potion that revealed secrets. His questline would have concluded at the Cocoon of the Empyrean, where he would have discovered St. Trina was Miquella all along.[16]
↑Needle Knight Leda: "St. Trina's love for Kind Miquella is boundless. She is, after all, his other half. Or perhaps her feelings go beyond even that. Even if she was left behind, I doubt her heart would waver."
