Cappella
A ghost of the past rising to cleanse the eternal night.
Cappella Magna is a spectral survivor who embodies the tragic history of the Gallo family's ancestral estate. Appearing as a ghostly figure draped in tattered, ethereal robes, she represents the lingering sorrow and unfinished business within the haunted halls of her home. Unlike many survivors driven by ambition or survival instinct alone, Cappella fights to exorcise the darkness that clings to her legacy, using the power of her haunting presence to repel the endless hordes.

Lore & Background
Her manifestation as a survivor is less about conquering new territories and more about reclaiming what was lost to the undead tide. She wields a whip that seems to crack with spiritual energy, striking not just flesh but the very essence of the monsters. In the lore of the game's world, she serves as a reminder that some debts cannot be paid in gold or blood, only through the relentless struggle against the darkness itself.
In Their Own Story
The wind howled through the broken windows of the manor, carrying whispers that sounded suspiciously like her own name. Cappella drifted through the dust motes, her form flickering between solid and smoke. The horde approached, a sea of rotting flesh and glowing eyes, but they did not see a victim; they saw an executioner. She raised her spectral whip, the air cracking with the sound of thunder, and for a moment, the night itself held its breath.
Reader's Guide
Cappella Magna begins her journey as a fragile yet resilient spirit, equipped with the Whip as her primary weapon. Her starting stats reflect her ghostly nature, offering high movement speed but lower health compared to tankier survivors like the Inquisitor or the Archer. Her unique passive ability allows her to generate mana faster when she is near enemies, encouraging an aggressive playstyle where staying close to the fray fuels her evolution. This mechanic synergizes perfectly with her whip, allowing for rapid leveling and frequent upgrades throughout the run. As players progress, Cappella's potential shines through her synergy with Arcana items that boost critical hits or damage against specific enemy types. Her evolution path often leads to a build focused on area control and sustained damage output, turning her into a whirlwind of spectral fury that can clear dense clusters of monsters with ease.
