Ferdinand, Afflicted-Apostate's Links
Ferdinand adores Ziegfeld, as much as an average observation would yield the otherwise.The two are opposites in most, but their bond is thicker than the blood shed on their first encounter with each other; and the Knight endures their companion's consistent teasing, for it is her own way of love. - Whatever this toleration reflects onto Ferdi is questionable. If only they knew how to tell Zig's blissful unawareness about their own terminal state- The silver helmet will not leave off its habitat any time soon.
To ignore the Yharnam origins and alternate into the universe of Elden Ring, there is a Ziegfeld not yet fully fallen, alike in the Lands Between themselves. With this, she is blessed with a companionship from one particular Knight that had given her a match in terms of combat. And she respected that greatly; whatever Zig's version of respect really is. Apparently, it entails a multitude of targeted jests at Ferdinand's bodyguard-like demeanor. She loves them, it is a shame the woman isn't this bittersweetly sane for any first victorian cosmic horror town.
