Firekeeper acting odd

[Martyrofsand]

So I've beaten this game multiple times and with multiple builds as well as made a full 10 chars, deleted some remade others just for the lulz of it, but in my latest play through I noticed the firekeeper do something I haven't seen her do before.

She won't look at me. Obviously not game breaking and at first I thought it was maybe just a glitch or something until the last time I loaded into the shrine quickly enough to see her legit turn around away from me. Is there is lore reason or something I triggered to cause her to do this, I haven't done anything really all that different from any other character I played and she only seems to do it to one of my characters, my dex/pyro build for Cathus Flame Arc going around dressed in the Desert Pyromancy set while using Wardens Twinblades.

As I said not a big deal, she still levels me, gives me the option to purge my souls etc etc. just curious what I did to make it happen.

EDIT -- Because I apparently can't tell the difference between the Firekeeper and Shrine Maiden >.<

Are you using the untrue white or dark ring, especially while hollowed?

You mean the one that makes you not look like beef jerky after dying 15 times for the 5 levels? Yeah character looked ugly with the Desert Pyromancy set on and I didn't want to spend 4500 souls everytime I died? Is that what's causing it? Why?

This also happened to me whenever I dunked my character's head in the wax basin and then warp to Firelink Shrine.

Fire Keeper seems to disapprove of certain acts, although the turn away is all she does. Wearing the untrue rings, wax head, invasion, etc. There's a mod that lets you invade anywhere that can normally be invaded from anywhere else (Wex Dust is the mod), so if you invade from Firelink on your return she turns away from you, which wasn't added by the mod author, so it's actually in the game's base code for her to act that way when you invade, even though without the mod you'd never see that from invasion.

Interesting to note. I wonder what lore reason exist for this, I haven't found anything about in on the wiki or other places online. Anyway thanks for explaining.

Considering that the Firekeeper is meant to guide someone to kindle the fire, she is an ally of the Gods. Invading the worlds of other undead or ashes prolongs the kindling of the flame, meaning that such action is against the will of Gwyn. As for the untrue dark rings, they come from the hollows of Londor whose sole purpose is to get the age of man going in complete darkness. They are exactly the opposite of the Gods. By using their insignia (or by invading), you commit acts against the will of Gwyn, something the Firekeeper (whose sole purpose is to lead you into the fire and maintain the reign of Gwyn) disapproves.
