—Mary (Bloody Queen Backstory Trailer)

## Appearance

Mary is a tall and slender young woman with sickly, pale ivory skin tinted a faint greyish-violet hue, almond-shaped black eyes, and shorn-off, choppy platinum blonde hair with the edges in stiff curls, and wavy locks of hair down and framing her face. She also wears pale black eyeshadow, blood red lipstick, and nail polish on her sharp, claw-like fingernails. She has also apparently been beheaded, having a small seam in her neck, where her entire head was sewn and reattached with blood red stitches.

She wears a crimson *robe à l'anglaise* with panniers underneath giving a birdcage shape to the skirt, a frilly, ragged square neckline with dark crimson frills, flamboyant, elbow-length sleeves with tapered sleeves and layered, dark crimson frills on the hems, a crimson skirt split to reveal a dark crimson petticoat, a leather belt cinching her small waist, and dark, blood red bows on her elbow sleeves and a matching one tied behind her waist. Her feet are not visible. She grasps a large shard of broken mirror glass not unlike a short knife in her right hand.

## Gameplay

The Bloody Queen is a powerful Hunter with the ability to summon an Aqua Mirror onto the map, which creates a Mirror Image of herself, with equal distance from her actual self, with the Mirror directly in the middle. The Image will ignore collisions and mimic her actual self, moving and attacking Survivors just like herself, but with mirrored movements. She can also swap places with her Image.

### Tips

**Please press "Expand" to see tips about playing as and against this Hunter.**
* It is recommended to get a normal hit before using your mirror, so that the second hit that downs the survivor is with the Mirror Image.
* If you are still chasing a survivor with your mirror image and it's about to disappear, make sure to swap places so you don't lose the chase.
	+ In general, after hitting a Survivor with a Mirror Image, it is recommended to switch places right after, otherwise you risk the chance of letting the Survivor get away.
* Don't use this ability when Mary's real body is in cramped and tight spaces, as this will restrain the mirror image when your real attacks hit obstacles.
	+ When the real body is in a wide open area, the Mirror Image is able to walk through and attack through solid obstacles.
	+ An attack made by the mirror image can still count as a Terror Shock, which can be done more consistently as the Mirror Image does not have a terror radius.
* When there is a chaired Survivor, you can summon a mirror towards a Cipher Machine being worked on, which would allow your Mirror Image to hit or at least distract the decoding survivor while you are still protecting the chaired survivor.
* If you can place your mirror correctly, you can hit 2 Survivors at the same time.
* On smaller maps, the mirror can be placed about halfway across, which means that the Bloody Queen's mirror image can attack Survivors on the complete opposite side of the map from where the real Bloody Queen is.
	+ When swapping places with the Mirror Image, this means that Bloody Queen can quickly travel across the map even if Teleport is not brought to the game.
* If you struggle with getting hits on survivors with the Mirror Image, then focus on using your mirror very close to you and the survivor you are chasing rather than trying to get hits from across the map.
	+ You can use your Mirror Image to force survivors out of safer areas just by having your image there.

Against Bloody Queen* Survivors can hear Bloody Queen placing her Mirror, and can see where it is placed from anywhere on the map. Stay alert!
	+ If one of the flat faces of the mirror is towards you, be extra careful as that means the Mirror Image could be walking toward you.
	+ If you are decoding then make sure to be watching the walls around you as the Mirror Image could walk through at any moment and get a terror shock hit if it takes you by surprise.
* The Mirror Image does not have a Terror Radius, and cannot be stunned.
* In general, you want to get the most out of your chases with the Bloody Queen's real body, as it is generally much harder to avoid hits from the Mirror Image which is not limited by physical obstacles.
* When trying to gain distance, don't just try to gain distance by focusing on the hunter or her Mirror Image alone, gain distance from the Aqua Mirror which will help you distance from both.
* When being chased by the Mirror Image, but the Bloody Queen herself is not nearby:
	+ Try to kite away from the Aqua Mirror so that the real body has to walk further away from you and may be forced to swap places.
	+ When the Mirror Image is near you, keep in mind you are outlined to the hunter. However, it can be difficult for the hunter to align themselves correctly so the Mirror Image will hit you. You want to make it harder to align by not moving in a straight line
		- Depending on if the Bloody Queen struggles with aligning the Mirror Image, you can try to spin around them (also called a "360") to avoid the hit. However, Bloody Queen's Mirror Image tends to have a fairly unforgiving hitbox so this is not recommended.
* If the Bloody Queen is within view of her Mirror Image and you are being chased:
	+ In these cases, be aware of the mirror image, but see if you can force her real body into an area with lots of physical obstacles. If the real body is restrained by walls and pallets, then the Mirror Image will be as well.
	+ Be extra careful of vaulting, as her hitbox has essentially been doubled, and she can respond more accurately to get a Terror Shock. The Mirror Image in particular can get a Terror Shock by standing within the window or dropped pallet.
	+ Be aware that most times the Bloody Queen is trying to corner you, and so will either use her main body to chase you into her Mirror Image, or the mirror image to chase you straight towards her real body.
