After what feels like a cumulative 500 attempts, I finally beat Crypt of the NecroDancer with the Monk character, which unlocked the character "Bolt". Now for Aria to finish up the story mode ... Aria's unique rules aren't any easier, but for some reason she's a LOT more fun to play than Monk.
Monk's unique rule is "Vow of Poverty" - touch ANY gold in a dungeon and you immediately fail the run. The tradeoff, however, is you get one free item from any shop that normally costs gold.
Aria's unique rule is that her only weapon is a base dagger, she's permanently stuck at 1/2 heart (i.e. 1HP), and dies if you miss a beat. On the bright side, she's still allowed to have passive attack buffs from equipment (including Glass Armor), use spells (including Shield) and always starts with a free Revive potion. And considering you have to beat the game twice to even unlock her, missing a beat is actually the least likely thing to kill you.
