Identity V Wiki
Advertisement

Fiona Gilman is a mystic, who claims that a spirit guided her to Oletus Manor. But nobody takes her seriously.

Fiona Gilman, also known as the Priestess, is an Assist/Contain Hybrid Type and a Difficulty 2 Survivor available for purchase after completion of the prologue. She is one of 43 playable Survivors added to Identity V.

Everyone looks at things through a small hole. Can we really call this reality?

—Fiona Gilman (Deduction Quest No. 4)

Appearance

Fiona is a slender, well-endowed doll with pale skin, a braided, pale red ponytail over her right shoulder, arched, pale red eyebrows, and large, dark grey button eyes cross-stitched with white thread. She also wears dark red lipstick.

She wears a black dress with side slits and a sweetheart neckline showing faint cleavage, a purple robe with gold embroidery and long, billowing sleeves fastened with an emerald clasp, with a matching hood with twisting, brown horns drawn over her head. She also wears dangly golden earrings, golden chains wound along the hood's horns and across her brow, and sandals with black emerald-encrusted straps. A tear is visible in her left leg, showing cotton stuffing. A silver disc with a symbol of an open eye and curving tendrils floats in the open palm of her right hand.

Gameplay

The Priestess is an assist/contain-type Survivor who carries a Holy Key which can create portals through walls and floors. A teammate has to pick this portal up for it to be formed, either a specifically chosen teammate, or leaving it open for any teammates, which eases transport and escape from the Hunter. However, she is slower at decoding and vaulting obstacles, which puts her in danger of getting Terror Shocked easily.

External Traits

Below is a list of Priestess' intrinsic traits. For more in-depth information, please check the individual pages.

Holy Key
Energy Charge Count (Initial/Max): 2/3
Energy Charge Duration: 70 second(s)
Ultra-long Passage cooldown: 150 second(s)

The Priestess carries the Holy Key around and can choose to generate either a Straight Passage or an Ultra-Long Passage. Both passages created will not lead to contaminated earth or areas, and Hunters can destroy passages.

Straight Passage
Both Survivors and Hunters can pass through straight passages. Passages entered by Hunters will be destroyed after they squeeze through, and the Hunter will be stunned for a short period. The stun duration increases with the passage's length, from 2 seconds up to 3.25 seconds.

Ultra-Long Passage
Survivors entering the portal will be quickly transported to the other side after a few seconds. A residual image of Survivors that use the Ultra-Long Passage will remain at the entrance of the passage when using it. The time they remain is determined by the length of the portal.

Hunters can attack these images. When the images are attacked, the damage and special effects inflicted are transferred to the Survivor (with some delay), and the Survivor becomes visible for 10s.

Hunters cannot pass through the Ultra-Long Passage.

How to Use
Tapping the Holy Key skill button (the "1" key on PC) will create a Straight Passage to the selected location.
Tapping the Special Holy Key skill button (the "3" key on PC) will activate the Observe Call mode and send out a call to a selected teammate.
Long pressing the Special Holy Key skill button will activate the Direct Call mode and send a call to all teammates.
When a teammate answers the call, the Priestess will create an Ultra-long Passage between the two of them, which takes a while to complete.

Concept / Design Notes [7]

Design Notes

PriestessDesignNotesRBCN

Compared with other characters whose prototypes can be found in reality, the setting of the priest will make people feel a bit magical, for example, the ability to open the shuttle hole with a key. How to design a character that not only fits the tone of the game, but also matches the skill setting? We try to choose a headgear with G*psy ethnic characteristics, brightly colored and flowing long skirts and waist ornaments, exaggerated earrings, and coquettish makeup. Roman-style strappy sandals, paired with colorful decorative jewelry. These simple elements and objects with regional characteristics make the character finally present a concise and light modeling image.

  • Up until Fiona's Siren costume, her B-Tier and C-Tier skins had no skirt physics.

  • Her surname is likely based on the character Walter Gilman from author H.P Lovecraft's short story titled The Dreams in the Witch-House.
