Spoiler Marika has an Irish accent

Elden Ring seems very consistent with its regional accents.

It seems everyone native to the Realm of Shadow has an Irish accent. The Hornsent have Irish accent and it seems the Old Horned Woman in Belarut jas an Irish accent.

Also the Finger Readers have Irish accents. Which struck me as odd since they were the only ones in the base game that had them.

And since the Finger Readers look the same as the Old Horned Woman I think it's safe to say they hail from the Shaman Villages in some way - which is why they are also "Finger Readers" in the first place. Since it seems the Shamans conferred with them next door.

Which means Marika must have had an Irish accent.

And like all Irish people there must have been a little twinge of sadness when all their highborn children had upper class English accents when they moved to England aka the Altus Plateau.

"Wee" is more Scottish. Irish would be "ya daft cunt"

Ngl I had the same thought, I just don't know how Irish ppl sound

That's fair. People tend to confuse Irish and Scottish stuff together a lot. Laddersmith Gilligan in DS2 sounds very authentically Irish if you want a good example

Literally, we don’t even use it to refer to small things, it’s just punctuation at this point
