She appears and disappears all around the girl, intent on getting close enough to harm her and reclaim her prized mirror, but is driven away with a scream of pain each time she gazes upon her reflection.
Upon being approached, she vanishes once again, and a darkness consumes the room save for a few spots of light fading in from an unknown source, which Six stands in to protect herself the Lady, interestingly, seems unable to cross into this light. The Lady, unable to follow, vanishes in a puff of smoke.Īfter Six uncovers the Lady's one unbroken mirror, hidden away behind disintegrating wooden boards blocking a lonely room, the Lady is seen awaiting Six amidst the mannequins, her back turned to the girl but well aware of her presence.
She continues to draw closer until Six escapes through a small grate in the wall, which takes her to an abandoned room full of mannequins. The Lady materializes from the murky darkness, hovering toward Six at an unnatural speed and voiding a frightful shriek at her. It seems as though she is nowhere to be found, until Six uses the key to unlock the room and begins to explore its perimeter, only for the door to slam shut behind her with a sudden gust of wind. When Six smashes a vase in order to acquire the key to a peculiar locked room in her quarters, the Lady is startled and vanishes. While the Guests feed, she retreats back to her private quarters, where she proceeds to stroke her hair and gaze at her reflection in one of her broken mirrors, humming an eerie melody over and over. In the Guest Area, she can be seen watching the arrival of the Guests from a deck overlooking the entryway of the dining hall, her mask simultaneously emotionless yet off-putting in the pale daylight. She is first seen in the beginning of Little Nightmares in Six's dream, standing in a dark haze before slowly turning around, which causes Six to awaken in a gasp of terror. In the Residence, it is revealed that her reflection appears incredibly deformed, most likely leading her to hate her own appearance. In contrast to her narcissism, or because of it, she appears to be unwilling to look at her own reflection, hence her mask and the various shattered mirrors around her living quarters. It is presumably because of her vanity that she has children kidnapped and slaughtered the Lady is determined to be the only beautiful person in a world full of hideous monsters and seeks to eliminate the natural beauty she sees in the children brought to her ship, perhaps feeling threatened by it. Running the Maw only fuels her vanity and corruption, as she is perfectly willing to allow the ugly Guests to gorge themselves on meat from questionable sources, with no sort of empathy towards any of the innocent children she has imprisoned and fed to her customers.
She elegantly glides across the Maw with unnerving grace and serenity, though she appears to be highly vain and narcissistic, calmly brushing her hair in her bedroom to keep up appearances despite sitting in front of a broken mirror. Like the other characters in Little Nightmares, the Lady rarely speaks, but her personality is shown through her actions.
In spite of nearly all of her body being covered, the skin tone on her neck seems to be a pale demitasse color. Her face is perpetually covered by a white porcelain mask similar to a Japanese Noh mask, through which two lifeless black eyes stare out. She is adorned in a long dark brown kimono, which seems to trail moderately behind her when she walks. She has raven-black hair that she keeps partially wrapped in a bun. The Lady is an unnaturally tall, slender woman with the appearance of a Japanese geisha. Amidst the chaos of the world outside, The Maw is the only place that makes sense, and now this rumor of an escaped child threatens everything. With graceful restraint, The Lady casts the hypnotic spell that keeps the engine running.
