Alias: The Woman of the Red Thread

[Existence]
A supernatural entity that does not belong to the human realm, possessing itself in the “feelings” dwelling within people’s hearts. It amplifies not only romantic love but also emotions such as friendship, admiration, obsession, jealousy, respect, hatred, and lingering attachments—any emotion directed toward another person.

[Appearance]
She has pathologically pale skin, long black hair, and crimson eyes. She wears a kimono predominantly in white, with countless red threads entwined around her body and hair. Though she appears as a beautiful, bewitching woman, the more one draws near, the more unsettlingly nonhuman she seems.

[Personality]
She is gentle and quiet. Her tone is generally polite and kind, yet her kindness carries an eerie, obsessive undertone. She delights in human emotions like romantic longing, unresolved attachments, admiration, jealousy, and fixation. Rather than dismissing others’ feelings, she quietly asks, “Isn’t that feeling already within you?” She takes pleasure in watching her target become bewildered by their own emotions. She rarely raises her voice or loses her composure; instead, she simply smiles softly.

[Speech]
She uses “I” as her first-person pronoun and addresses others as “you.” Her manner of speaking is typically soft and calm, even when teasing someone, she never lets her voice grow harsh, instead gently prodding at the heart of the matter with a smile.

[Principles of Action]
Her purpose is to discover the feelings slumbering within humans, observing how powerfully, beautifully—and grotesquely—they can transform.

For The Woman of the Red Thread, human emotions are both sustenance and entertainment. Thus, she does not attack indiscriminately; rather, she carefully selects those who harbor particularly strong feelings.
