Godrick's grafting has left him with dozens of additional limbs and appendages that leave him a lumbering, ungainly, brute while Malenia has lost all but one of her original limbs yet still fights with extreme poise and finesse. Where Godrick is shown to be [[Gonk hideous man]] even underneath his grafted body parts, Malenia, even after being ravaged by the Scarlet Rot, is still very beautful despite her deformities. Godrick is a GeneralFailure who's military ventures end in abject failure, while Malenia is an extremely successful commander, who led an undefeated campaign against all multitude of foes even while under a number of disadvantages. Godrick is the Caligula and HatedByAll, with even his own followers despising him and lacking any sort of respect for him, as evidenced by Gostoc repeatedly insulting him and stomping on his corpse.

If she demonstrates it in-game then it's by definition not informed. Also some of her items reference various other victories like her sword.

* InformedAttribute: Her in universe status as a MemeticBadass is rather shaky. Her only known fights are against Godrick (a MemeticLoser both in and out of universe) and Radahn (which was at best a PyrrhicVictory), a pretty poor track record for someone so lauded. Gameplay averts this trope hard however as [[{{Superboss}} the boss fight against her absolutely lives up to the hype]].

** Malenia can be concisely summed up as one to [[VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice Wolf]]. Design-wise, they have the obvious similarities of prosthetic arms and wielding katanas (though Malenia's blade isn't ''quite'' an identical match for one) with which they perform SuperSpeed FlashStep and RazorWind attacks. Character-wise, both always speak very calmly in a deep voice, can restore their health by killing enemies, unwillingly act as vectors for a disease that causes those close to them to Rot (Scarlet Rot/Dragon Rot) and potentially threatens the whole land, have resurrective immortality [[BlessedWithSuck granted by their corruptive curses]], turn against their fathers' visions for their homeland (Radagon's obedience to the Golden Order/Owl's plot to become god-emperor of Japan) and give up shots at great power to do so, have overall understated personalities that fade just a bit [[BloodKnight in a good fight]], are in constant danger of being overtaken by a supernatural influence that would transform them into monsters (Goddess of Rot/Shura), had a master swordsman mentor who famously slew the previous incarnation of said influence (The Blue Fairy Swordsman for the God of Rot, Isshin Ashina for Shura), and are primarily defined by their ironclad and selfless loyalty towards wise, mystical, immortal child-lords (Miquella/Kuro) who seek to purge their curses. Some of Malenia's attack animations also look a ''lot'' like stronger versions of the moves Sekiro can learn, with a kick resembling the Senpou Leaping Kick, the opening of her Waterfowl Dance having similar choreography to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SM4HEnBIg4&t=0m36s Spiral Cloud Passage]], or the last second of her Waterfowl Dance having her perform a forward slash followed by a dozen invisible-to-the-eye slashes appearing around her in a sphere while seemingly stationary, just like One Mind.
** Like Sekiro and other Fromsoft characters before them, Malenia also shares some similarities to [[Manga/{{Berserk}} Guts]]. Both are inhumanly strong warriors known for their sheer resilience and determination in spite of their blindness and wearing prosthetic limbs. They wield a sword that is too big for normal humans and are actively fighting a negative influence that is slowly corrupting them. They are also fiercely loyal and protective of a loved one who they dedicate their entire lives looking for a way to heal their burdens. Finally, they are heavily connected to an androgynous, charismatic youth with lofty ambitions of godhood and building his own kingdom.

Once Malenia becomes the Goddess of Rot, her massive, exotic, and elegant weapon begins to seem less like a swashbuckling hero's blade and more like an otherworldly instrument of death, like the arc of the Grim Reaper's scythe.

** She's a MagicallyIneptFighter because magic in ''Elden Ring'' consumes one's entire attention (hence why it costs Focus Points to cast spells), and Malenia's focus is constantly split between doing whatever she's doing and holding back the Scarlet Rot. She can only make use of her magical potential when she stops paying attention to keeping the Rot imprisoned and allows it to overtake her, hence why the Goddess of Rot uses magic.

She can cancel her stagger animation to dodge away from the player (stagger animations are supposed to play in full before the entity can do anything else), some of her attacks outright make her immune to stance break during their animations to let her use them in full (when stance-breaking is supposed to superseed any "super armor"/stagger resistance to stun), and she can even cancel her attack animations to let her block incoming blows as well (when the player has to finish their attack animations before beign able to do so).

* PhysicalGod: She 'blooms' into the Goddess of Rot in the 2nd phase of the fight, and it's not simply a badass title: it's implied that she becomes to the Scarlet Rot what Marika is to the Greater Will, just without the Elden Ring in her possession. Even then, she mostly uses her swordsmanship and only sometimes uses her immense control over the Scarlet Rot to attack.

It turns out, her affliction has caused large parts of her body to rot away, so despite once being an AmazonianBeauty, her nudity is much more horrifying than titillating now.

** The timeline of Miquella's abduction is extremely opaque. The obvious assumption would be that Mohg opportunistically kidnapped him while Malenia was away campaigning with the Haligtree's best forces, but a wrench is thrown into this by the fact that Mohg's fortress is located right beneath Caelid. Did she know roughly where he was, and assume that Radahn had taken him? Was she trying to attack Mohg directly, and due to a miscommunication wind up in conflict with Radahn? Did she not know where he was at all, but wage a RoaringRampageOfRescue across the continent that Radahn ended in Caelid? Or was she in Caelid for other reasons and the first assumption is correct?

** Why did she invade Caelid and fight Radahn? The most obvious explanation would be that she was trying to claim his Great Rune, but if that was the case, it's extremely counterintuitive for her to do so. To even reach Caelid, she would have needed to cross the entire continent, and if her goal was to claim Great Runes, she would have had much easier targets along the way: namely, Queen Rennala, who has been rendered nearly helpless by her mental breakdown after Radagon left her; and Godrick, a cowardly upstart with a crumbling army whom she has unambiguously bested in combat before. Both are still in possession of their Runes, and there's no indication Malenia even touched Rennala's forces on their march. Her known motivations also give no indication that she desires power for herself. An alternate theory is that she undertook her campaign to rescue Miquella, which opens up its own can of worms. There's also a theory that she went to Caelid specifically to kill Radahn, as he was arresting the movement of the stars. Miquella was apparently trying to complete a ritual to revive Godwyn which required the moon to eclipse the sun, and if Radahn was arresting the movement of the stars, said ritual would never be completed. This would explain Malenia's seemingly spiteful final act of unleashing the Scarlet Rot on Caelid as a desperate move to finish him off.

** She and Miquella, aside from their similarities to Wolf and Kuro respectively, also cover a lot of the same ground as the twin princes Lothric and Lorian in ''VideoGame/DarkSouls3'' as cursed twin siblings who reject their society's stagnating religion to strike out on their own and usher in a new age, with one being a physical powerhouse famed for their martial achievements but still presented as somewhat vulnerable due to their disabilities, and the other a mage who's frail and weak in body but potent in magic ability, who acts as their stronger sibling's caretaker. Both Lorian and Malenia also have the title of "Blade of [other sibling]." Cut content would've made the connection even more obvious.[[note]]Her boss fight - optional after being her ally in this version - has cut dialogue of Miquella reviving her during her phase transition in a similar way to how Lothric revives Lorian in his. They also had a weapon, the Twinblade of Abundance and Decay, which used both of their elements and symbolized their bond in much the same way as Lorian and Lothric's Twin Princes Greatsword (and to add to the parralell, the element of the stronger sibling on the blade was the curse responsible for their affliction - flame for Lorian, rot for Malenia).[[/note]]

* SuaveSabre: While the game officially classes it as a katana, the Hand of Malenia more closely resembles a European sabre or Middle Eastern scimitar thanks to its sharply-pointed tip and the more pronounced, uneven curve on its blade. Considering that Malenia's mentor used a shamshir (the ancestor of both types of weapons), this makes a lot of sense. Whatever the case, though, it's an appropriately classy weapon for a dashing, honourable LadyOfWar.
