With the rumors of dynamic damage portraits coming to the game and the recent leaks of Pocket’s "damage portrait" (showing bruises and messy hair at low HP) are a great addition. It got me thinking that Lady Geist is the perfect candidate for a unique version of this feature that ties directly into her lore with the Oathkeeper.
Since the Oathkeeper provides her with a youthful appearance in exchange for life force, her portrait should reflect the stability of this bargain:
At High HP: She looks young and rejuvenated, as the Oathkeeper is well-fed and the ward is stable.
At Low HP: She progressively looks older and more withered. This would show the "parasite" failing to maintain her form as her life force drops and the ward nears its breaking point.
Using the damage portrait system to show the physical cost of her pact with the spirit in her arm would be much more immersive than just standard bruises. It perfectly captures the dark, parasitic nature of her powers.
