However, this passivity or submissiveness is a quality that is a stereotype associated with femininity and since Crossbreed Priscilla is one of the few female bosses in Dark Souls, she is another example of how Dark Souls presents female characters in a unfavorable manner. The interesting facet of Crossbreed Priscilla's characterization is her passive reaction to the player's presence, which clearly shows that she is a much kinder character than the other bosses in the game. Even after she is visible again, Crossbreed Priscilla is a very difficult boss and can easily defeat the player in a few attacks. The player is able to notice her footprints in the snow, which allows the player to attack her and break her invisibility. She instead will talk with the player and urge them to leave the Painted World, which she describes as "this land is peaceful, its inhabitants kind." However, if the player chooses to, they can engage Crossbreed Priscilla in battle, she will become invisible and strike the player while they cannot see her. Immediately, the player will notice something about Crossbreed Priscilla, namely that she doesn't move to attack the player like every other boss in the game. Once the player has managed to complete the Painted World of Ariamis, which is filled with very aggressive and powerful enemies, they encounter Crossbreed Priscilla in a snowy arena. Crossbreed Priscilla is described in the game as being an abomination and is the result of a Dragon breeding with something else, probably one of the god characters in the game given her general size. The player has to return to the starting area of the game to retrieve an item and then return to a mid-game area to access the Painted World of Ariamis where Crossbreed Priscilla is trapped. Crossbreed Priscilla is a unique boss in Dark Souls due to the fact that she exists in an entirely optional area that most players will miss on their first play-through, so she is somewhat hidden in the game.
