Fidelina

"Do everything with love, especialmente when it's hard."

Fidelina, The Curandera, translated as "folk healer", is a Campfire Companion for the Traveler. She is a Mexican healer traveling Mexico and the Southwestern U.S. to find someone she can train in the ways of the curanderas. She often intermixes Spanish phrases into her speech. Fidelina frequently asks for funny, scary and hopeful stories and is first encounterable outside of Sante Fe, NM. Her story is written by Mari Langrebe, and she is voiced by Laura Patalano.

Background
Fidelina is a healer from Mexico. She has a daughter who was to be born with the powers of the curandera, but she was cursed by a witch - who Fidelina refers to as "un bruja" - before the birth. With technology on the rise, Fidelina's family and community began to turn away from looking to the curanderas to seeking medical doctors. Fidelina regards doctors as "like las brujas, but with good intentions." Having no one in her family to teach the old ways to, she set out to find a student before she died and the knowledge was lost.

Interactions with the Player
Fidelina can originally be found outside of Santa Fe, NM, and travels around in the Southwest region. She mainly asks for funny stories from the Traveler. Upon reaching Chapter 3 with her, she gives you a small metal figure of a horse with a red ribbon that teleports you back to Santa Fe.

True Form
Fidelina's true form is herself, but with a hoop around her head like a saint, her arms open wide, her skin blue and purple, and with mist and flowers instead of legs.
