—The blinded woman crying, after losing her eyes | ||
The Blinded Woman was a resident of the Himuro Mansion, later being blinded by the Family Master, to serve a role during a traditional ritual. Although she successfully fulfilled her task, she became a victim of an upcoming curse later; as the final stage of the ritual resulted in an ultimate failure. Her corrupted spirit returned as a ghost, whether she is haunting the mansion seeking vengance for her loss, or simply trying to find the next Blinded and Rope Shrine maidens, is not known.
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 choose 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 attacks 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 throughout 7 confrontations overall.
