This lets her use space bar items more often at the cost of being more dependent on health increasing items and pick-ups. Mechanically Unusual Fighter: As stated above, Bethany uses heart pick-ups to increase the counter to recharge space bar items.However, the soul hearts function to get much more use out of her starting item, and with enough cleared rooms and/or soul hearts picked up, she could have a huge multi-layered tornado of flames that each fires a spectral shot on its own. Magikarp Power: Bethany's inability to pick up soul hearts means that one would have less health over all, and needs to avoid taking damage period to have a good chance at getting an Angel/Devil room for the floor, to say nothing of the fancy dodging required to build up flames with Book of Virtues.
She can spend these hearts to use her active item if it isn't charged. Uniquely, she cannot use soul, black, or immortal hearts, instead adding them to a consumable counter when picked up. She starts with the Book Of Virtues, which summons Wisp familiars that shoot alongside her and block shots, but can be destroyed.
Debut: AntibirthNamed after the village that was home to Lazarus, Bethany is unlocked by having any combination of 12 soul, black, or immortal hearts during a run.
