'''Lady Geist''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. A [[wikipedia:Socialite|socialite]] with a necromantic pact, Lady Geist consumes her own health for her abilities while draining the life away from opponents. Sacrificing her life force to launch Essence Bombs and Malice "Blood Shards", Lady Geist can regain lost health with Life Drain, sapping enemy heroes and [[Unit|units]] of their health. Her Soul Exchange swaps health values with an enemy hero, turning the odds against them for a killing blow.

The Toast of the Town, Lady 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.

== Trivia ==
* [[wikipedia:Geist|Geist]] is a German word that can be translated as "spirit/mind". 
* Lady Geist is French, but she uses her late German husband's last name.
* 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].

-* 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.
