Notes from author
Meant for role-play purposes, not efficiency.
Start as female and Warrior for lowest level.
33 Vitality with Ring of Favor and Protection brings health to approximately half of Ciaran's. 26 Endurance with the ring is also sufficient for stamina and equip load. Raise both and Dexterity as desired.
The Hornet Ring was Ciaran's, and the Ring of Favor and Protection is purely for stat bonuses because she has no other ring. Rings of Sacrifice could be loosely symbolic, though, and the Wolf Ring may make sense for her close relationship with Artorias.
Lloyd's Talismans could be utilized if apart of an invasion covenant, but one should, instead, use the Dried Finger to incite more invasions and defend against invaders, though this makes the Talismans useless.
Use Green Blossoms for stamina regeneration increase. Though Ciaran throws normal Throwing Knives, use Poison Throwing Knives so they're actually viable in combat.
Aim for parries, ripostes, and back stabs to make full use of the Hornet Ring.
