"I pray thee, Lady Malenia, to slay me before on my Lord Miquella I turn like a curse. For even now I feel the wicked draw of the Two Fingers, away from his side."

"O Reinheit, most loyal Shadow! Though thou fallest this day, thou shalt again rise free, in thy lord's Dream!"

And thus did Reinheit, the Shadow of Miquella, submit himself to death by Malenia, the Blade of Miquella, so that he might die loyal, defy his fate, and never turn upon the lord whom they both loved so dearly.

"Last of the shadowbound beasts born, he was first of their kind to fall."

So it's been a big question on my mind (not long after Elden Ring dropped) that if Radagon saw a lot of potential in Miquella, then surely the Two Fingers did too, and likely would have sent him a shadow to be his guardian in godhood, or their failsafe if he broke bonds with destiny.
But that shadow never appears in game, so I thought I'd make one for him using some cut content that heavily implies involvement with Miquella.

His general design is kind of a cross between a wolf and a sheep, because of the suggestion that St. Trina (whose weapons induce the sleep status on enemies) is the duality of Miquella, as Radagon is the duality of Marika.
