## Character Day Letter

**Verdict**

Guilty

Jeanne de Valois-Saint-Rémy was found guilty.

In order to convince Cardinal de Rohan that she is a close friend of the Queen, Jeanne de Valois-Saint-Rémy has lured Cardinal de Rohan's confidant, the former dragoon Rétaux de Villette, as an inside contact, and tricked the prostitute Nicole le Guay d'Oliva into disguising herself as the Queen, Marie Antoinette.

During this period, Jeanne de Valois-Saint-Rémy used the identity of Queen Marie Antoinette to communicate with Cardinal de Rohan and defraud money, as well as the purchase agreement of a ruby necklace worth 1.6 million francs.

The above crimes were confirmed through physical evidence provided by Cardinal de Rohan to this court.

After the trial, it was apparent that the mail delivered to Cardinal de Rohan was utterly different from the Queen's handwriting. Jeanne de Valois-Saint-Rémy ordered Nicole le Guay d'Oliva, who was disguised as the Queen, to meet with Cardinal de Rohan. The Queen's whereabouts where made public, and the Queen clearly has an alibi. Furthermore, it is proven that, at the same time, through other witnesses, Jeanne de Valois-Saint-Rémy had also defrauded other members of the royal family through the Marquise and the captain of the King's Guard, Nicholas de la Motte.

The evidence of her criminal behavior is conclusive, and the impact is severe.

The final verdict is as follows:

This court believes that Jeanne de Valois-Saint-Rémy has repeatedly used Queen Marie Antoinette's identity as illegal means to defraud Cardinal de Rohan and unlawful possession of royal jewelry. The amount in involvement is calculated at approximately 2 million francs. Her behavior has constituted a crime of fraud.

Sentencing: Jeanne de Valois-Saint-Rémy was sentenced to be whipped, branded, and commended to life imprisonment.

Not Guilty:

Cardinal de Rohan was accused of false accusations, but he was found not guilty and acquitted due to insufficient evidence. However, because of indirect damage to the reputation of Queen Marie Antoinette, he is dismissed from duty and exiled.

May 31st, 1786

## Tips

### Playing as

1. Use your Aqua Mirror, and point it towards a cipher machine. There may be a Survivor working on it, so you’ll have the possible advantage to Terror Shock them.
2. When camping a Survivor on chair, you can use your Mirror to patrol ciphers nearby, this will force the survivor working on it to temporarily stop to avoid getting hit by your Mirror Image.
3. Using the Mirror, you can cross large distances on the map. Using Mary on small maps like the Arms Factory is most efficient as you can cross the map to reach exit gates easily.
4. When the your Mirror Image spots a Survivor, the Survivor will be outlined for you to see. You can choose to hunt with the Miror Image or switch over. If you cannot estimate the distance of the Survivor and your Mirror Image well, you should switch over to your Mirror Image.
5. Whenever you use the Mirror to hit survivors behind wall, make sure to place the Mirror close to the wall and to keep it on your side. This will make it so that the Mirror Image will be able to hit the survivor as some will take advantage of your mistake and hug the wall to avoid getting hit.
6. Mary's detention also transfers over to her Mirror Image.
7. When a survivor is behind a pallet waiting to stun you and your skill isn't on cooldown, summon the mirror as close to you as possible to get the hit.

### Recommended Talent

* Blink: Mary has a small hit box, and an average movement speed - meaning she has to use Blink to immediately down a survivor without the use of her Aqua Mirror.
* Trump Card: Switch to Teleport or Abnormal using Trump Card at late-game. It isn't recommend to use Teleport without Trump Card.

### Countering

1. Survivors will be able to see the outline of Mary’s Aqua Mirror, regardless of their location on any map. Take note of the angle of the Mirror. If the Mirror is facing you, there is a chance that her Mirror Image is making its way towards you. (Blurred blue color Mirror means that it is facing your direction)
2. It’s important to run into different directions, or in a few cases, through the Mirror Image to juke the Mirror Image. Mary may have a small hit box, but be careful of charged attacks.
3. One should keep note that the Mirror Image's hit box is larger (in length, width, and height) than Mary's own hit box.

## Trivia

* Mary was based off of French Queen Marie Antoinette.
	+ Marie Antoinette died at the guillotine, which is an instrument for carrying out executions through beheading. This is why Mary has stitches on her neck since she was beheaded.
* Mary is based off of "Bloody Mary".
	+ Bloody Mary is a ghost said to appear in mirrors when a person says her name 3 times while the lights are off. This might be why Mary's item/ability is a mirror.
* She also may be based off of Mary I of England.
	+ Mary I, or Mary Tudor, was the queen of England 1553-1558, she was known as Bloody Mary due to the sheer number of civilians she had executed throughout her reign.
