Visually and aesthetically I fell in love with Malenia. Elden Ring delivers some quality waifu material all around.
Can someone explain why she has Scarlet Rot powers? Isn't scarlet rot essentially like AIDS? I don't expect a person with AIDS to just have superpowers.
Necrotic leg ulcers. Wounds where the part of the skin dies off and leaves a permanent scar. Partial skin death.

Oh no, most of her powers come from being an UNDEFEATED SWORDSWOMAN. She was literally blessed with a ticking bomb by the rot god, so she can use that at the cost of her health. The scarlet rot does imply that she can regenerate in a way thanks to Millicent and Gowry so there's that. The Rot God does enjoy an army of naked redhead valkyries.
For those who can't get to the end, she gets a skin graft, which later becomes infected. It worsens until the point where it becomes a large, pulsating, festering blob. Eventually it gets so bad the tip of her toe falls off and her leg loses so much flesh you can see through to the other side. In the end, she gets her legs amputated at the knee.

The Rot God is a man of culture I see

while I feel sorry for the cunt, it's clear that she did a lot of damage to herself. like why the fuck would you think that scratching a giant open would with your fingernails would be a good idea?

>cumskulls downplaying her massive glaring fungal infections
This really. I can understand if she had something to draw attention to but she literally has a warriors body, yet everyone draws and acts like she's a fertility goddess.

Something something was imbued with scarlet rot powers to use in a pinch, but the bitch went overboard abd nuked a whole region in vain. Essentially she was given hiroshima as a weapon, but the dumb cunt just detonated it without thinking.

The saga of her insanity and medical self-sabotage is fascinating, plus the reading between the lines of when her doctors figure out she's insane and stop trying so hard.
Easton Morris
You've never seen a flesh eating virus before? That's essentially what scarlet rot is.
It's pretty horrifying and the leaked doc's notes dwell a lot on the self-harm aspect, but she didn't do that shit to herself. You can see the early progression - her legs just rot out from the inside. The itching must have been unbearable, but again the dressings dont look like they're disturbed and the tissue damage doesn't look like clawmarks, it looks like infection. IMO they left it waaaay to long, should have amputated the minute it looked like the skin grafts hadn't solved the problem. You don't fuck around with anything causing that sort of tissue death, just kill it with fire and hope it hasn't already spread.
Jack Parker
so she's crazy AND has a flesh eating infection? or what
welp maybe you're right, hope for her that it doesn't spread but I agree, if I had this diagnosis and there was clearly nothing that would help I would try to get the amputation done as quickly as possible so that I might save my knees
Julian Robinson
She would scratch at her legs constantly and claim it was an immune disorder. It eventually got so bad she got skin grafts, but she kept scratching and they got heavily infected and failed. Eventually her doctors just said fuck it and cut her legs off. Last I checked she wasn't scratching as much because being a double amputee gets you the kind of medical attention she always wanted.
