![]() Senua obtains the dark rot from Hela, offering herself in place of Dillion. Ridden with this guilt, Senua decides to take his skull (which the Celts believed housed the soul) to Helheim in a desperate attempt to bargain for his soul, fueled by Druth's tales of the Northmen and their mythology. Senua also suffers from depression and guilt caused by Dillion's murder, believing that it is her fault for Dillion's death due to her "darkness" inflicting the village. Senua also interacts with her visual hallucinations even when she knows they may not be real, speaking to them when they manifest as people from her past. In addition to her psychotic hallucinations, Senua suffers from delusions – a belief maintained even when firmly contradicted by reason or logic. For most of the game, she sees the voices as part of a " curse," sometimes trying to fight it. Senua has a tenuous relationship with her voices, occasionally telling them to leave her alone, but she will also listen to their advice in combat and in solving puzzles. The voices are her guides they serve as evasive thoughts, doubts, warnings, and even sometimes encouraging. Senua's psychosis manifests in both auditory, visual, and sensory hallucinations, leaving her constantly plagued by various female voices dubbed by the game devs as "The Furies". Senua suffers from deep trauma originating from her early childhood, which began to escalate the early stages of her psychosis. Senua is also capable of expressing anger and distress towards obstacles, often in her interactions with the Darkness. Whenever she is threatened by an enemy, she readily draws her sword and faces them in combat. Despite the unpleasantness throughout the journey, she also displays dogged determination, pushing through treacherous landscapes and trials to reach her goal. While on her journey to Helheim, Senua has many experiences that cause her to panic or be afraid, such as when she is trapped in the dark or escaping an inferno. Senua exhibits a very reserved and somewhat meek personality, which stems from her years of isolation and abuse. She also wears a thin strip of fabric around her right arm. Her new outfit is based around a more common depiction of armour, though fashioned from multiple leather parts along her chest and shoulders that are held together by loops of metal. As Senua's battle is both mental and physical, she endures injuries, such as a gash on her forehead and facial scars, by the end of the game. Additionally, regardless of how many times Senua dies, the dark rot on her left arm continues to travel up her neck. ![]() Throughout the game, Senua's appearance changes the blue woad on her body and face are almost washed off in her first encounter with Hela. In her opening scene debut, Senua is covered in flecks of mud, dirt and blood. This mirror is used to gaze into the otherworld. She wears a leather sword belt, carrying her sword at her left hip, a bag containing Dillion's head and a polished iron mirror that was given to her by Druth. She wears a simple plaid and leather outfit, consisting of detailed patterning on the chest, bare arms and a wolf fur collar fastened with a silver brooch. Senua wears a leather headpiece decorated with a large silver ornament set with blue stones at the front and stitched with triskelions (triple spirals) at the sides. According to many Roman generals and Historians throughout their conquest of the British Isles, tribes like Picts and Iceni would cover themselves in blue paint to blend in the fog before the sun rose. ![]() This type of paint and style has existed among the Pict tribes for centuries the word "Pict" comes from Eumenius in 297 AD, meaning "the painted people". In the time frame that the original game takes place, Senua wears distinctive woad blue face paint heavily around her eyes, her left arm, across her collar bones and her bottom lip. Senua and her people (the ones who lived in her village before abandoning it to the Northmen) were part of a people known as the Picts. Her hair is tied in a high ponytail and clumped together in plaits and locs coated in lime and adorned with beads. While Senua is slender, she is muscular and has light scars throughout her skin, some more notable on her face. Senua is a young woman with fair skin, pale blue eyes and long dark brown hair.
