The Toast of the Town, Lady Jeanne Geist was famed by all and invited to every ball and gala in the city... until her beauty faded in her old age and left her with only memories and stories of her glory. In desperation, she formed a pact with a powerful spirit and bound it by powerful wards until she was safe and young again. All she needs to do now is feed on the life force of her fellows to maintain her beauty... and hope desperately that the [[Oathkeeper]] will stay bound.
An old-time socialite with a necromantic pact, '''Lady Geist''' is a terrifying foe that consumes her own health for her abilities while draining the life away from enemies. Sacrificing her life force to launch Essence Bombs and  blood shards of Malice, Lady Geist can make up the lost health with a Life Drain tether to a nearby opponent. After being brought low by her own abilities or enemy attacks, she can conduct a Soul Exchange and swap health with her opponent, making them vulnerable to followup attacks from her revolver.

{{Quotation||
'''A FATE'S TALE:'''


== Abilities ==
Once, Lady Jeanne Geist was the toast of the town. But as time passed and her beauty faded she found herself further and further from her glory days in High Society until finally she was nothing more than a frail woman in a
nursing home, telling stories of a glorious past. And that’s when Oathkeeper revealed himself. A powerful spirit from another plane, Oathkeeper offered her a path to reclaim her past glories… he could restore her youth; all she had to do was drain the essence of the living to sustain herself.


{{AbilitySection
Geist was torn. Obviously murder was ghoulish business, and undoubtedly Oathkeeper was not an entity that could be trusted… but still, the thought of having a second chance of reliving her youth was too good to pass up. And so she concocted a plan; after making a pact with Oathkeeper she would bind and ward him, limiting his influence and pull over her. Oathkeeper would still get fed; but on her terms, not his.

| notes      =
* The self damage is Spirit, can be mitigated, and is not lethal. Self damage is calculated at 30% of the damage that the player would deal.
* Touching an enemy unit while in flight starts the explosion delay timer early.


}}
However, as years have turned to decades; the strength of the Ward has weakened, and Oathkeeper hungers more than he ever has in the past...}}

|'''Patch'''
* Life Drain's -{{DataProp|Life Drain|MoveSpeedReduction}}% move speed reduction only applies while the target is being damaged.

* When Alternate casting, Spirit self-damage is dealt equal to the base DPS of Life Drain. This damage is not lethal and can be mitigated by [[Spirit Resist]] items.
|-
** The health given to a teammate is equal to the ability's base DPS, independent from the self-damage, and is affected by [[Healing Effectiveness]] modifiers.
|[[Update:September 12, 2024|Update: September 12, 2024]]
* The Alternate Cast can be used on a friendly hero that has full health, but Geist will not take self-damage unless health is being "transferred".
| - Updated {{AbilityIcon|Essence Bomb|Size=20}}, {{AbilityIcon|Life Drain|Size=20}}, {{AbilityIcon|Malice|Size=20}}, and {{AbilityIcon|Soul Exchange|Size=20}} sounds.
* Life Drain's tether stays attached to a target even when out of line of sight or beyond its {{DataProp|Life Drain|MaxRange}}m Max Range.
- {{AbilityIcon|Essence Bomb|Size=20}} Revisions to improve visibility in team fights.

* Because Life Drain stays attached while out of line of sight, the position of tethered victims can be tracked if they move for cover.

{{AbilitySection
- {{AbilityIcon|Essence Bomb|Size=20}} T3 Damage Increased: 22% → <u>26%</u>.
| hero_name  = Lady Geist
| ability_num = 4
| notes      =
* Soul Exchange  deals [[Pure Damage]], and thus does not proc items such as {{AbilityIcon|Mystic Reverb}}, and is not affected by [[Healing|anti-healing]] or [[Damage Resistance]].
* Soul Exchange has a {{DataProp|Soul Exchange|AbilityCastDelay}}s cast time before swapping and can be stopped by some items and abilities, such as a well timed {{AbilityIcon|Counterspell}}.
* Has a hidden {{DataProp|Soul Exchange|EnemySlowPct}}% slow that gets applied to the target upon cast and lasts for {{DataProp|Soul Exchange|AbilityDuration}}s.
* Unlocking T3 upgrade will change the damage value of Lady Geist's other abilities, as if the bonus Spirit Power on cast is always active. This is a bug, the actual damage is unchanged.
* Soul Exchange's mechanics work as follows:
** Once Soul Exchange is successfully cast, the target loses 0.3 of their current HP%. This new HP% (Enemy HP% * 0.7) is then compared with Geist's current HP%.
*** If (Enemy HP% * 0.7) > (Geist HP%), the health percentages between Geist and the target enemy are directly swapped.
*** If (Enemy HP% * 0.7) < (Geist HP%), then 30% of the enemy's ''current'' remaining health is removed. Then, Geist receives health equal to the enemy's ''max'' health lost.
**** I.e.: Lady Geist and her target are both at 80% HP, and she casts Soul Exchange. The target loses 30% of their current health bar (80% --> 56% HP, 24% max HP lost). Lady Geist receives 24% of her max HP (80%+24%), leaving her at 100% health.
** If the enemy would lose enough health to go below 30% of their max HP, it is instead set to 30%.
*** If the enemy was already at less than 30% of their max HP, they don't lose any HP, but Geist receives the health that the enemy would have normally lost.

== Trivia ==
== Trivia ==
* [[wikipedia:Geist|Geist]] is a German word that can be translated as "spirit/mind".
* Lady Geist seems to be the only left-handed hero in the roster, shooting her weapon with her left hand. Although this may be because of her ethereal-looking right arm.
* Lady Geist is French, but she uses her late German husband's last name.
* In the game files ''Lady Geist'' is referred to as ''Ghost''. Likely an early development build name.<ref name="YTLeak">{{YouTubeCite|video=7BDMm3FuiHs|title=Deadlock - All Leaked Footage, Cleaned-Up & Organized}}</ref>
* Lady Geist is referred to as "Oma" (German: ''grandma'') by her grandson [[Minor characters#Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr]].
* Alongside {{HeroIcon|Mina}}, Lady Geist is one of the few heroes to holds her gun in the left hand, as [[Oathkeeper]] is in her right arm in-game. However, in a concept art and in ''[[The Binding of Oathkeeper]]'' artwork, Oathkeeper is in her left arm.
* Lady Geist was named '''Spectre''' in ''[[Neon Prime]]'', and later renamed to '''Ghost'''.
* Before Lady Geist's model was updated, there were two work-in-progress models in the files labeled '''Ghost_test''' and '''Ghost_v2'''.
* Lady Geist's idle animation has a similar angle and pose as the drawing ''[[Wikipedia:My Wife and My Mother-in-Law|My Wife and My Mother-in-Law]]'' by W. E. Hill, which displays an optical illusion of a young woman and an old woman at the same time.
* Lady Geist's hairstyle in ''The Binding of Oathkeeper'' resembles that of Madeline Ashton, a character played by Meryl Streep in the 1992 movie ''[[wikipedia:Death_Becomes_Her|Death Becomes Her]]'', who similarly uses magic to stay young. The visual novel's cover also references the movie's [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8xY8AnBnsU opening scene], in which Madeline sits in front of a mirror wearing a teal dress and gloves.
* "Being Fabulous in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Lady Geist in the [[Hideout]].
* Lady Geist was referenced in the videogame ''Skullgirls Mobile'' as a variant of the character [https://skullgirlsmobile.fandom.com/wiki/Locked_%27N%27_Loaded Black Dahlia].
* When targeting abilities on Lady Geist, the reticle focuses on Oathkeeper instead of Geist's center of mass. This also applies to status effect indicators, such as {{AbilityIcon|Stalker's Mark}} or {{AbilityIcon|Djinn's Mark}}.
