General Description

A ghastly sight to any unsuspecting soul. She prowls the mansion, haunting intruders for a bloodthirsty revenge. She only appears to those she targets, creating paranoia and distrust among crews. The Mistress is a tall imposing ladylike creature wearing an eyeless mask. She wears an elegant blue corset dress and wide brimmed hat. Two roses adorn her hat, blood red, like her severed neck and hands. Her red lips peek behind long flowing black hair.

A single gold ring sits loosely on her left ring finger, a reminder of a broken promise long ago...

Gameplay

Once she spawns, she will begin to stalk a player. Appearing and disappearing when spotted. She is only visible to the target player. From the corner of your eye, she'll watch you. She remains passive until after a certain amount time. Once she attacks, getting in her line of sight forces your view towards her, slowing you down and slowly closing your eyes. Break line of sight as quickly as you by walking behind cover. Failure to do so will lead to the player waking up on a guillotine, where they will be beheaded and left as a talking head. As a head you can still communicate to teammates but are no longer able to move. Once her target player is killed, she switches target.

Strategies

Before her first attack, she will stalk players for 50-80 seconds, appearing and disappearing when spotted, use this grace period to prepare.
The mistress is very dangerous in open spaces. In the event of an encounter with The Mistress, stay close to cover in order to break line of sight. She can only attack again after 50-80 seconds, so use these intervals to cover large areas or return to the ship.
Weapons are useless against her. The Mistress targets players who are alone, inside or have a gal robot the most. Once targeted she will attack you until death, so other players are safe from her until you die.

Lore

Mme Lafonderie was the daughter of a french steel mill tycoon, married in an economic alliance to a Mr Terrenoire, a rich mining business owner. However not everything seemed perfect. According to an old police report from June 12th 1895, Mme Lafonderie murdered her husband in cold blood inside his study. She was caught after the act by one of the cleaning staff. She was publicly executed by guillotine shortly after, vowing revenge on all those who stood watching.
It is believed the mask she wore was used to hide her grief after the accident that turned her husband mad and distant. She was left to grieve alone and so she turned towards another. Breaking the promise of her ring. The fate of her lover is unknown.

Dev History

Added in v1.0.0, she was the first feature designed alongside Boom Traps before the thought of v1.0.0 and Oxyde came to be. Her model idea came from a terrible attempt to model Xu's fox girl oc. The face looked so creepy, it turned into the mask and then its own idea and enemy.
Originally her camera grabbing attack used a similar mechanic to the zap gun. You needed to drag your mouse enough to break free from her, but it was too inconsistent.
