Midler is a Stand user never seen except face-down in two frames
of the JoJo manga, and is named after
Bette Midler. She is a minor antagonist of Part III: Stardust Crusaders.
Midler's stand is The High Priestess, which can take the
form of anything metallic. The High Priestess, an ugly troll-like stand
with shapeshifing abilities and teeth as sharp as diamonds appeared to
kill the Jojos. Since Midler herself never really appeared in the manga,
Capcom took some liberties for her design. The stand was no match for the
piston-like fists of Jotaro's Star Platinum.
In the game by Capcom, her story mode tells a drastically different tale from
her fate in the original manga. She trails Jotaro's group in order to carry
out Dio's orders to
kill them and successfully wins against them, one by one. After she finally
defeats Jotaro himself, she returns to Dio's mansion to report the good news.
Cream informs her that Dio needed Joseph
or Jotaro's fresh blood, and she is forced to defeat him in order to get past
and see Dio. However, when she finally reaches Dio, he reassures her - before
declaring that he only needs her blood, as the blood of one more person
will enable him to take full control of Jonathan's body. He then asks if she
will willingly give him her blood, to which she agrees. In her ending, Dio
punctures her neck with his fingers and drains her blood, killing her.
