The Lady (Little Nightmares)



"With graceful restraint, The Lady casts the hypnotic spell that keeps the engine running. 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.  Nothing can be allowed to interfere. The guests must eat. The Maw must survive."

- Official description of The Lady

Six's use of the ability showcases that it works on it's own and is essentially passive), Darkness Manipulation (Can become one with and manipulate shadows, in the form of offensive attacks or other means), Stealth Mastery (The Lady is incredibly hard to detect and can actively hide in the shadows, making her presence unable to be seen through normal means), Creation (Gave birth to The Shadow Children, whom of which are spawns of her own darkness), Intangibility (Should be able to take on a similar form to her own Shadow Children, who are intangible and can only be interacted with through light), Reality Warping (Official descriptions of The Lady state that her spells are what control The Maw and that she "keeps the engine running"), Spatial Manipulation (The Maw is much bigger on the inside than it appears)

Destructive Ability: Wall Level (It's implied that The Lady shattered all mirrors in The Maw, with said mirrors being much larger than average humans. Treated as physically superior to Six, who herself can rip giant sized planks off the wall and break vases roughly the size of herself. Superior to both The Show Monster and Dump Monster, whom of which can dig up from and burst from underground, a feat that requires this much force behind it ). Small Building Level (It's stated that her powers are what control and bound The Maw, with it being stated she even is the force that "keeps the engine going", making The Maw completely function to her will. Her magic is likely the cause for The Maw's appearance being bigger than what it's supposed to be)

Notable Attacks/Techniques:


 * Life Absorption: The Lady can absorb the life around her through her mere presence, which usually takes the form of a blackish wisp when displayed. As shown when Six utilizies it, this ability acts on it's own
