Cadence

Cadence is the first character introduced in Crypt of the NecroDancer. The daughter to Melody and Dorian, she ventures to the graveyard and digs down in a mysterious grave. Upon disturbing the spirits the rest below, she collapses into the gaping casym and sustained a head injury that knocks her unconscious. Her heart stolen by the NecroDancer, she is revived temporarily through the synth of music that traversed through the crypt and sought to seek answers to the disappearance of her father and the source of her reawakening.

In the game, Cadence starts with three hearts, a dagger, a shovel, and three bombs. Her body is limited to the songs of the dungeon, forced deeper into the Crypt when the song ends.
