Hortensia is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption 2.

History[]

Background[]

Hortensia is a German strongwoman that performs at the Théâtre Râleur in Saint Denis.

Aldridge T. Abbington claims that he found her in Bavaria, Germany. She states that she has done shows in New York, San Francisco, and Blackwater.

Events of Red Dead Redemption 2[]

In her first show she will demonstrate her strength by bending a metal pole and will rip a book apart. She then lays down on top of a drawer and places a cement block on her. Her male assistant will smash the cement block laying on her. She shows the audience that she is uninjured and the show ends.

If the player antagonizes the assistant, he will mess up and hit her instead of the cement block. She will become angry with the assistant and chase after him with the cement block.

In the next show, she will demonstrate her strong balance and then decides to challenge any male in audience into fighting her. The player can step on stage or let audience member fight her.

If the player lets an audience member fight her, Hortensia will defeat the audience member and will drag him off the stage.

If the player fights her, they will inevitably lose to Hortensia and will wake up outside of the theater.

Character[]

Personality[]

Hortensia is a traveling strongwoman that loves the stage, as she is aggressively eager to prove and demonstrate her immense strength, allowing her assistant the daring task of smashing a concrete block with a sledgehammer on top of her. Owing to her immense durability, being hit by a sledgehammer leaves her unfazed. Her favorite challenge is to invite men from the audience up to fight her on the stage, making them the laughing stock of town for losing to a woman. She's strong enough, even Arthur, a man who was able to beat and disable Tommy, a man considerably bigger and stronger than him, loses to her no matter what. She also seems to love danger, as she performs multiple hazardous stunts that would leave a normal person seriously injured or dead if gone wrong.

Appearance[]

Owing to her position as a strongwoman, she has a very muscular build that is shown off by her sleeveless cyan tunic. She bears a full sleeve of tattoos across her torso extending down her arms. Her hair is brown and done up in a bun.

Trivia[]

  • She is allegedly from Kingdom of Bavaria, Germany. However, she notably lacks a German accent.
  • She will always win the fight regardless if the player is at maximum health.
