I'm at the very beginning of the game so she apparently hasn't shown up yet. :P I got killed by some variant of stronger creatures towards the end of the tutorial, but with red instead of blue glowing eyes.
I guess I'm supposed to just go back to where I was to reclaim my lost souls? I hope returning to the Nexus doesn't get rid of your bloodstain ...

I played through the beginning just recently, like yesterday, and I'm pretty sure that after the tutorial you go to the Nexus, but you have to beat the first boss to be able to level up, use the stones, and unlock the other worlds.
Oh, okay. To clarify, I'm past the tutorial and had reached some sort of high up area in the castle. But I took on an enemy too strong for me and quickly died. I'll try going another way next time, but there were 3 different areas, one being connected to "the fog" so I'm guessing that's where I'm supposed to go to face the boss.
I quickly died at whatever was in the tutorial level, so hopefully I wont have that problem this time. I can see the camera becoming a problem in this game.
Well, the game is supposed to be challenging, but you should still be OK with most enemies in the first level as long as you paid attention to the tutorial and learned the basics of the combat. That's key. The first enemy that I would consider very challenging is the Blue Eyed Knight, of which there are five (that I can remember) in the first world, at least until you can unlock the last area. The other Knight is the Red Eyed Knight, and I can only think of one instance of him in the first world. He is very, very tough and should not be taken on early, if only because you may have a hard time getting back to your blood stain to regain your souls.
Oh yeah. You die and your souls are held in your blood stain, which is usually where you were 30 seconds or so before you died. If you die again before you reach that stain, you lose those souls forever. There's no way to save your souls outside of using them. You don't lose anything else when you die, so items you purchase with souls, and souls trapped in consumables you find, are yours to keep.
Don't consume demons' souls. They give you a lot of souls, but they are more useful to purchase unique spells or forge special, powerful weapons.
Other than that, keep your shield up when venturing into new areas. The enemies are always in the same places when you enter the world again. New, and more dangerous enemeies, will show up in full white or full black world tendencies. These tendencies are affected by your actions in the world, but they are also affected by the servers, and what Atlus is doing on their end. Sometimes they have full white or full black events, whcih allow you to access areas and find items you may have not been able to before.
Oh, depending on how you like your RPG's, you may want to visit the Wiki and read up on character builds. My first build I just winged it, and I made a character that was decent all around. I was able to beat the game, but new game + kicks my ass to death, literally. Specialization isn't forced in this game, but it is definitely helpful. Your stats affect weapons differently, and different weapon types as well.
Have fun.
