Title: Rose Thorns
Game: Ikenfell
Composer: aivi & surasshu
Arranger: Nicole Benner
Featuring: Karenna Foley, Jason Tang
As the player character in the indie RPG Ikenfell, you travel to a mysterious academy in search of your missing sister, Safina, a young witch-in-training. Along the way, you’ll meet a variety of witches and warlocks, creating fierce friendships and rivalries, and discover the secrets behind Safina’s disappearance. Baudovinia Aeldra, the current headmistress of Ikenfell, may have more to do with the mystery than she says, and her dark past, marred by survivor’s guilt and self-loathing, paints a multi-layered portrait for the player to contend with. “Rose Thorns” combines Aeldra’s character and battle themes, and features confessional lyrics that explore her tragic past and the person she used to be.
This piece was performed at our delayed Fall 2021 Concert in Dekelboum Hall. Follow us on our social media platforms or visit our website to stay up-to-date on our latest events and performances!
