Revision as of 15:36, 23 August 2014
Riesbyfe Stridberg (リーズバイフェ・ストリンドヴァリ?) is a character from the Melty Blood franchise. While she was appearing briefly during Sion TATARI's Last Arc animation since Re-Act, it was only in Actress Again that she became a playable character. She also appears in flashbacks in the Melty Blood manga.
Profile
Background
Riesbyfe is the leader of the knight's heresy persecution group and an official Shield Knight vampire hunter from the Church.[1][2]
Three years before Melty Blood, the Church learned that the next appearance of TATARI took place in a small mountain village in Italy. The Church sought the aid of Atlas due to their connection to TATARI rather than the Prague alchemists, and Sion Eltnam Atlasia responded to their request. Riesbyfe Stridberg, along with Sion, intervened when TATARI appeared, but as they only had normal Conceptual Weapons, they were unable to affect the phenomenon no matter how many times they defeated its materializations. Three days later, TATARI annihilated the village and the dispatched Knights of the Church, and destroyed those who permeated it. Riesbyfe sacrificed herself to save Sion from one of the materializations of the Night of Wallachia.
But Riesbyfe still lived within TATARI, being protected from being completely absorbed by TATARI by her Holy Shield, Gamaliel. Michael Roa Valdamjong, or rather an materialization of TATARI based on him, notes in Riesbyfe's Story Mode in Melty Blood Actress Again she is "alive", making her a TATARI materialization different from the others like himself.
Development
Up until TYPE-MOON created Sion, Riesbyfe was supposedly the main heroine of Melty Blood and would've appeared as Ciel's rival appearing to fight Arcueid.[3]
Kinoko Nasu said that Sion and Riesbyfe story would continue as long as fan exists, Nasu said it would be great if French Bread would develop Melty Blood Remake alongside with Tsukihime Remake.[4]
Role
Melty Blood
She is also a friend of Sion Eltnam Atlasia and died rescuing her from Wallachia during her last manifestation prior to Melty Blood.
In the Satsuki Yumizuka and Sion routes of Actress Again, she continues to live after the destruction of the Dust of Osiris and joins the Back Alley Alliance.
Kara no Kyoukai
Riesbyfe is briefly mentioned in Kara no Kyoukai as the principal of Reien Girls' Academy. Referred to as "Mother Riesbyfe", her age is unknown, and she is mentioned to have a large string instrument case in her office. She is a pious Christian, who, when energized, engages in overzealous philanthropic activities due to her excessive faith. She is also an acquaintance of Touko Aozaki, and hired Garan no Dou to investigate the suicide of Kaori Tachibana. Though she was originally not an important enough character to even receive an entry in a glossary, her later appearance in Melty Blood made her relevant enough.[5] It is unknown if they are actually the same person or not.[1]
Abilities
Equipment
True Apocrypha
She uses a Conceptual Weapon True Apocrypha (正式外典, seishiki gaiten?) AKA Spear Key and Gun Shield, a pile bunker shaped like a string instrument.[2][1] True Apocrypha appears to briefly materialize several glyphs as well as the illusion of a completely deserted ruin bathed in the horizon upon the usage of its power, but details are unknown. It is called the holy shield "Gamaliel" by Zepia and is noted to be the reason behind Riesbyfe not obeying Dust of Osiris in her storyline path.

[] Tsukihime Dokuhon PlusPeriod - TSUKIHIME Dictionary: Riesbyfe [Person's name], p.190 Riesbyfe [Person's name]
Knight of the Shield. Captain of the Knights of the Inquisition led by the Holy Church. Female.
She participated in the failed subjugation of Wallachia alongside Sion, and faced Wallachia alone so that Sion could escape. Her fate afterward is unknown. She possesses the conceptual weapon "True Apocrypha Gamaliel", a gun-shield that superficially resembles a large stringed instrument.
Though it seems Sion thought of her as reliable, they were torn apart before either of them realized they had become friends.
During Vampire Sion's Last Arc, she attacks the enemy by recreating Riesbyfe's information. Apparently, since Riesbyfe was swallowed up by the Tatari, she was transferred into Vampire Sion when she inherited its power.
Also, though there is apparently a nun with the same name working at a certain academy for girls, it is unknown if they are actually the same person or not.リーズバイフェ【人名】

She participated in the subjugation of the Tatari three years ago, and faced Wallachia alone so that Sion could escape. Her fate afterward is unknown. She possesses the conceptual weapon "True Apocrypha Gamaliel", a gun-shield that superficially resembles a large stringed instrument.

Properly speaking, because everything swallowed by the Tatari is reconfigured as equivalent data, things that can be recreated separately from the Tatari like Riesbyfe are rare. Presumably, it's due to the presence of the True Apocrypha, acting as a shield and slowing her absorption.リーズバイフェ【人名】

[] Tsukihime Dokuhon PlusPeriod - TSUKIHIME Dictionary: Melty Blood [Title], p.189 Melty Blood [Title]
A fighting game set after Tsukihime, jointly developed by Watanabe Seisakusho (French Bread) and Type-Moon.
It was the first time Tsukihime had voices.
It is the story of a certain vampire and a night of lies, during a summer different than the one in Kagetsu Tohya.
The stage progression is in the style of Darius. It seems that a fighting game that advances in such a manner had been something the scenario writer always wanted. Take the upper paths and you'll be treated to a serious story, while the lower paths quickly spiral into absurdity.
The game's subtitle is "Hologram Summer, Night on the Blood Liar". The original plan was for it to be about an executor who was a sort of rival to Ciel appearing to fight Arcueid, but once production started the sample game ended up being so amazing we felt the need to whip up a worthy story within "Tsukihime Canon" to match.
Of course, with a new heroine, one of the 27 Dead Apostle Ancestors, and even Arima Miyako, it was packed full of fan service, too. So, thank you, Watanabe Seisakusho! The amount of freedom as a fighting game is just great, and the mobility of the characters is off the charts. I hope everybody out there enjoys the pixel-art Tsukihime characters as much as we do!メルティブラッド【タイトル】

A: Thank you. As long as fans exist, Sion and Riesbyfe will continue to exist. To be more specific, French Bread will figure something out. It would be great if they can work on the Melty Blood Remake while the Tsukihime Remake is under way, wouldn't it?Ｑ：メルブラは既に終わったけど、シオンとリーズの物語も終わりましたか...それとも月姫2や他の番外篇に登場させる予定がありますか？彼女たちの物語を終わらないようにしてください。 台湾の嘯月より
Ａ：ありがとうございます。そう言ってくれるファンがいるかぎり、シオンとリーズはいき続けます。具体的に言うと、フランスパンさんが何とかしてくれる筈。月姫Rと同時進行でメルブラRとか作られたりしたらいいよね！ よね！ - ↑

Principal of Reien Girls' Academy. Age unknown.
A pious Christian. When energized, she would engage in overzealous philanthropic activities due to her excessive faith.
The principal's office was decorated with a shield that would invoke the image of a violin.
Originally she was not an important character that would warrant an entry in this glossary, but since she showed up in other works, I had to pick her up.リーズバイフェ【りーずばいふぇ】【人名】
礼園女学院の院長。年齢不詳。
生粋のクリスチャンで、元気な頃はありあまる信仰心から過激な慈善活動をしていたとか。
院長室にはヴァイオリンを思わせるような盾が飾ってあるらしい。
本来この用語集に載るほど重要な役どころではないのだが、他作品で登場しているので拾い上げた。
