Cavalcadence plays Aria 4: Zone 1, Ending (Aria), & Credits
For anybody who's interested in custom Cadences (or other characters), the official NecroDancer FAQ has some info about creating custom characters, and even has a link to the pinned thread on the official forums, where people have posted some of their custom creations:

So, the main NecroDancer story is a three-part story (Cadence, Melody, Aria), and Aria's story is the final part.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is Part 4 of 4 of Aria's story!
Aria starts at the bottom of the Crypt and works her way up. Which means that, yes, it isn't a mistake or some weird bug: Zone 4 is actually Aria's first Zone... and Zone 1 is her final Zone!
Also, as Aria works her way back towards the surface, enemies will essentially be pursuing her... which means that "earlier" Zones, in addition to having their normal set of enemies, will also have some enemies from "later" Zones, as they follow her from Zone 4 to Zone 3 to Zone 2 to Zone 1!
So... Zone 1. And the Final Boss!
For me, based on what I'd seen of the Final Boss, I was pretty sure defeating it would require a lot of practice... and a little bit of luck. And it looks like I was right. That's pretty much the combination of factors that came into play during my first ever Zone 1 win with Aria! =)
Woo! My first ever Zone 1 Aria win! =) There were so many failed attempts before this run, though, both in getting to the Final Boss... and in fighting it. =p And even this run was by no means a perfect run... but I'm still pretty happy with it! I finally got the Aria Zone 1 win... and here it is! Enjoy!
Oh, and as you probably know by now, Crypt of the NecroDancer actually has three in-game soundtracks (Danny B's original soundtrack, A_Rival's EDM remix, and FamilyJules7X's metal remix), and in the Options, you can select which one you want for each charcter. Aria defaults to FamilyJules7X's metal remix, so if anybody's curious, that's what you'll be hearing in this video. =)
The Zone 1 mini-bosses and boss I encountered during this run were:
- Minotaur, Green Dragon, Gray Minotaur, and The Golden Lute.
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:07 Zone 1, Level 1
0:53 Mini-boss: Minotaur
0:54 Boots of Strength! Yes, that'll definitely help!
1:11 Shield Spell! Though I tend to forget to use my Spells, so I'll probably forget to use it. =p
1:27 Zone 1, Level 2
1:46 Luminous Torch!
2:35 Mini-boss: Green Dragon
2:49 Oh, nice! I thought I was going to have to dig up and around or clear the enemies to the right to get the Blademaster unstuck... but then the Bat pushed it off the bounce trap for me. =)
2:59 Zone 1, Level 3
3:06 Ring of Shielding! Yes, definitely picking that up! =)
3:42 Mini-boss: Gray Minotaur
3:49 Boots of Strength! Wait, what? Again? I only need 1 pair! =p
4:23 Zone 1 Cutscene 1 (Aria)
4:44 Zone 1, Boss: The Golden Lute
5:52 Ack, got hit! Oh wait, the Ring of Shielding saved me! Oh, and the Lute only has 2 health left! Quickquickquick push the attack before the Shield wears off!
6:01 Yes! My first ever Zone 1 Aria win! =)
6:01 Zone 1 Cutscene 2: Ending (Aria)
6:34 Crypt of the NecroDancer End Credits
