| ~ Terms description |
Lindsay Blair is a non-playable character featured in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. She is an Arvantville villager who has taken shelter of the demonic attack with the other survivors.
She was voiced by Kari Wahlgren in the English version of the game and by Reiko Muratsubaki in the Japanese version.
History[]
During the demon attack on Arvantville, Lindsay managed to escape the death and destruction, but had to watch helplessly as her friends and family died at the hands of the demon invaders. She is now fueled by the hatred and resentment she feels toward demons, and employs Miriam to cut down their population.
Lindsay appears at her permanent residing location inside of Arvantville's stronghold after talking to Dominique at her supply post and obtaining the Village Key. It is at this location where the player can interact with Lindsay and start her Hunting Quests.
Services[]
- Main article: Hunting Quests
Lindsay acts as a bounty board for the player. She gives the name of a villager, the identity of the demon that killed them, and how many of them to slay. Naturally, as Miriam progresses through the game, the bounties increase significantly and Lindsay rewards her with items that are harder to obtain under normal circumstances or that are outright unique.
Lindsay has six sets of quests she can give to the player throughout the course of the game, with the first set already unlocked from the beginning. Each following set is unlocked after defeating a specific boss, the only exception being the first quest "Avenge the death of my husband!", which instead only requires to kill five Mortes to unlock her second set. It is thus possible to unlock some of her more advanced sets of quests by defeating certain bosses early via sequence breaking (e.g.: use Double Jump to explore the upper section of the Dian Cécht Cathedral early and defeat Bloodless before defeating Valac, the Glutton Train, and Bathin).

Quotes[]
- "Here's what I've turned up on the monsters."
- "Kill those murderers dead!"
- "Good work. Here's your reward."
Trivia[]
- When the player accepts the first of Lindsay's quests, 'Avenge the death of my husband!', she says "Kill that murderer dead!" instead of the later "Kill those murderers dead!", despite the player being tasked with killing more than one Morte.
- "Kill those murderers dead!" has become a widely popular line among the fanbase because of its exaggerated delivery, grammatical redundancy, and the fact that Lindsay repeats it every time the player accepts a quest from her.
- The names of many of the people Lindsay wants avenged are those of characters from the Castlevania series. These names include:
- Annette → Annette
- Dario → Dario Bossi
- Edward → Edward (presumably)
- Julius → Julius Belmont
- Juste → Juste Belmont
- Lisa → Lisa
- Mathius → Mathias Cronqvist (presumably)
- Richter → Richter Belmont
- Rosaly → Rosaly
- Simon → Simon Belmont
- Soleiyu → Soleil Belmont ("Soleiyu" being the romanization of his Japanese first name and appearing as such in early export products)
- Sypha → Sypha Belnades
- Trevor → Trevor Belmont
- Unlike most NPCs in the game (e.g.: Abigail, Susie, Benjamin), completing Lindsay's questline doesn't feature any special dialogue or animation by her.
