Ghost Lady

Ghost Lady's Default Role Icon

* Protect
* Bound

### Description

Visits one player to protect, and will be bound and revealed to them if attacked.

The **Ghost Lady** is a role in the Village team. It is the advanced role of Red Lady.

## Role Description

The Ghost Lady can visit another player at night. If they are attacked while visiting, they will not be killed. If the player they are visiting is attacked, they will also not be killed. Once a visited player is attacked, the Ghost Lady will reveal their role to the visited player and be bound to them. The Ghost Lady cannot visit anyone once they have protected a player. If the player they are bound to is killed, they die as well.

## Win Conditions

The Ghost Lady wins with the village, unless if they are converted into other teams by other roles.

## Interactions

### Protection

* The Ghost Lady's protection grants immunity to attacks similar with the Doctor. Its self-protection functions similarly to its base role, Red Lady. The Ghost Lady will still die, if they do not visit and are attacked.

### Binding to a Player

* The Ghost Lady's status after successfully protecting a player works similarly with the Split Wolf's ability, Bind. If the protected player dies, the Ghost Lady dies as well. If the Ghost Lady dies first, the other player does not die.
* If the Ghost Lady protects a player and is bound to them then proceeds to get converted to Werewolf, Accomplice, or Zombie, they will still be bound to their protected player.
* If multiple Ghost Ladies protect the same player and that player gets attacked, only one of the Ghost Ladies will be bound to the attacked player.
* The Ghost Lady, like other protective roles, may fail to protect a player and die due to Werewolf Berserk's ability, Frenzy.

### Auto-Win Situations for Solo Killers

* If only the Ghost Lady and a Solo Killer are alive, the game would automatically end with the solo killer as the winner. This is to prevent ties by stagnation, where no player is dying and the game is not making any progress towards achieving any win condition.

## Trivia

* The Ghost Lady was announced and added as a testing role in Sandbox on the 12th of February, 2022 along with the Evil Detective role. It was officially implemented into the game during the **Role Cards Update**.
* The Ghost Lady at first was considered too unbalanced during release. It had the ability to protect itself and another player once, with their ability only being consumed when the protected player is attacked. The Ghost Lady also reveals their role to the protected player and will not be bound to them.
	1. During the **Cozy Update**, the Ghost Lady was reworked to not being revealed anymore to their protected player. Additionally, they will be bound to that player and will die if they die.
	2. During the **Fairy Tales Update**, the Ghost Lady was buffed and reverted to being revealed to their protected player.
* When the Ghost Lady's ability is triggered on an attacked player, a flavor text will notify the protected player that the Ghost Lady "has scared away" their attackers during the night. This implies lore-wise that no player was actually healed or heavily injured, only that the players attacking were discouraged in completely attacking a player and has cancelled their intent in fully doing so.
* Players speaking English usually shorten the role during reference as 'Gl'. With 'g' coming from 'ghost', and 'l' from 'lady'. It is not to be confused with the slang acronym 'Gl' which has the same letters, meaning "*good luck*".
