That theory on her powers being Ice-derived makes sense with the Lifehunt miracle in DS3, where it absorbs health. Cold objects don't just make whatever they're in contact in lower in temperature, they steal the heat from it. In a world where heat=life this would be a vampiric effect on the lifeforce of individuals.
Maybe its also why the Lifehunt Scythe in DS1 makes you bleed, it is stealing your heat to function.

I never fought Priscilla. She never struck me as a boss fight monster exactly, despite knowing that you can trigger a boss fight with her.
You meet her in the painting and she nicely asks you to leave, pointing to the door. So I do.
Her status as both a prisoner and enemy to the laughably self styled "gods" just makes her one of the good guys.
I think of her less as a boss than as just being any of the other NPCs who will defend themselves if you attack them.
This NPC just happens to be a giant half dragon so she gets a name bar.

I find it fascinating how Miyazaki builds his worlds seemingly ābottom-upā. While the worlds and its inhabitants are gradually designed and built, the storyline and meaning of things changes many times over, things are reshuffled, bosses swapped, etc. Itās certainly unique, and I am not sure if it would be possible without the kind of indirect storytelling that has become his trademark.

Ohh, idk how i never considered that, but ice being the "lifehunt" makes so much sense, and with how she was lethal to gods, and gods were fire and she was ice. I feel like suddenly realizing something that was very obvious lol.
Also this made me think how if Priscilla was in DS3 then there would be frost instead of bleed on her weapons, but we already have a woman in the painting with frost scythe in DS3! Sister Friede! I cant think as of right now, but i wonder if there are more parallels between Priscilla and Friede. They both wield scythes, they both urge you to leave the painted world, but Priscilla has some sort of calmness and earnesty in her trying to get you out of the door, like she really wants this place undisturbed, while Friede tries to keep the painting rotting away, and i say she's kinda unkind to the inhabitans of the painting (and to her own guard to an extent). Im rusty on the lore of the dlc tho so im not sure im seeing the situation correctly, but anyhow, it made me eager to revisit the painting!
Thank you for the great video!

While Dark Souls 1 didn't have Frost as a status effect, it would eventually be introduced in Dark Souls III, where it behaves somewhat similarly to Bleed, so it feels like the Bleed buildup being used for Lifehunt may have been sort of working with what was available at the time. If Priscilla's nature is to oppose Fire, and had she been like the Maiden in Black or the Firekeeper, heroines who are directly involved in the endings of their games, it's interesting to think her purpose may have been to snuff out the First Flame entirely.
