“	My eyes... my eyes.	”
—The blinded woman crying, after being blinded

The Blinded Woman was a residental of the Himuro Mansion, later being blinded by it's master, to serve a role during a traditional ritual. Although she successfully fulfilled her task throughout the ritual, she became later a victim of an upcoming curse. Her spirit returned as a vindictive ghost as a result of the Malice, begging to haunt the mansion and seek vengance for her loss.

Biography

The Blinded Woman ghost had her eyes stabbed out with The Blinding Mask, after she was caught first during the Demon Tag, preceeding the Calamity. Her role was to play the Oni (Demon) in a ritual, used to chose the next Blinded and Rope Shrine Maidens. Like many ghosts her spirit was corrupted by the Malice which made her aggressive, her corrupted spirit has wandered around the mansion ever since the Calamity in search of the next Blinded and Rope Shrine Maidens, crying "My eyes..." or "It's dark... it's so dark". Like the other ghosts she finally got to rest in peace in heaven when Miku Hinasaki broke the curse of the mansion, her presumed last sighting was when Miku saw the spirits ascending to heaven as orbs.

Battle

Unlike the other ghosts, she is always nearby Miku and it's nearly impossible to run away from her to a safe distance - otherwise she immediately attacks. There is an advantage, since her eyes are completely gouged out, she only reacts toward sound. If you move very quietly she won't hear you (unless she's stood right next to you, when she seems to be able to hear your breathing), making it easier for Miku to attack. 

The blinded woman attacking Miku for the first time.

She seems to have a liking of hiding in walls and then attacking you from them, this can make battles in close quaters e.g. the Mask Room difficult.

She also has a liking of teleporting, she seems to like teleporting right behind you, so if she disappears check behind you as most of the time she re-appears inches from you, which can be a bit of a shock if you spin around quickly.

The player has to defeat the Blinded Woman through 7 confrontations overall.

Trivia
