Cavalcadence plays Dove 3: Peace Out! (All Zones Mode)
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... it's been a while since I've played Dove. =)
For those of you who don't know, Dove is the "Pacifist" character (her weapon and bombs won't damage enemies). Her gameplay has had some adjustments since her initial introduction... but at the time of this recording, I think the following is accurate:
- Dove's weapon is a flower (and cannot be changed to any other weapon); it's basically a dagger that does no damage, but will Confuse enemies, and cause them to drop Gold the first time you hit them (this will also count towards recharging Spells).
- When an enemy's Confusion wears off, it will forget it ever saw you (enemy will de-aggro), so if you get out of its visual field before the Confusion ends, the enemy won't pursue you.
- Dove's bombs will Teleport enemies away, but all other bomb effects are the same as Cadence's bombs.
- Bomb Traps and Spike Traps will damage enemies as normal.
- Dove's shovel is a Crystal Shovel (basically Glass that won't break).
- Dove starts with a Ring of Peace.
- In shops that normally require Gold, Dove can pick up only one item (per shop)... but will get that item for free. I think Dove can use the Transmogrifier and Summoner Shops more than once, but will get the first use for free (I haven't fully tested that, though).
- Exit stairs unlock at the beginning of each level (the mini-Boss will still be guarding the room, though).
- There are no Trapdoors (based on previous testing, I think they just get replaced with Spike Traps).
- There are no Boss battles.
And since the last time I played Dove, she's gotten her own unique voice! She even has sad/dismayed utterances when an enemy dies to a trap... which I thought was a nice touch! =)
Anyway, here's my first ever 4-Zone All Zones Mode win with Dove! Enjoy!
The Zone 1 mini-bosses I encountered during this run were:
- Minotaur, Green Dragon, and Minotaur
The Zone 2 mini-bosses I encountered during this run were:
- Nightmare, Minotaur, and Nightmare.
The Zone 3 mini-bosses I encountered during this run were:
- Nightmare, Banshee, and Minotaur.
The Zone 4 mini-bosses I encountered during this run were:
- Nightmare, The Mommy, and Green Dragon.

1:56 The dragon was stuck on the stairs, so I had to lure it away... but then the orange slimes got stuck. =p

7:59 Whoops, wasn't paying attention to the menu, and accidentally selected "Quick Restart" instead of "Return to Lobby". ^^;
