## Appearance

Patricia is a slender, well-endowed doll with dark skin. She has black locs accessorized with red and grey hair jewelry pulled into a crimson headband, straight, harsh black eyebrows, and large, shiny amber button eyes. White paint is patterned on her face, shoulders, and arms. She also wears dark brown lipstick.

She wears a black corset with white frills, a red ribbon and three matching buttons with an ankle-length, pleated crimson skirt with white frills and a white petticoat, white stockings, and leather heels with three straps on each. A thick black choker is around her throat, and a leather necklace with animal fangs hangs around her neck. She also wears dangly golden earrings, a black-and-gold metal wristguard on her left wrist, and a black glove with a thick cuff on her right hand. A tear is visible in her skirt, showing cotton stuffing. She holds an ape skull in her right hand.

## Gameplay

The Enchantress is a contain/assist-type Survivor who is able to easily able to stun any Hunter near her. She accumulates up to 5 stacks of her stun ability by being within close distance of a Hunter, by being hit by them, or if someone she has healed or was healed by has been attacked. Using one stack of her stun will only briefly interrupt the Hunter, while using three stacks is a considerably longer stun. Any of her stuns can knock a ballooned teammate out of the Hunter's hands.

## Concept / Design Notes

### Design Notes

Based on her place of birth and experience learning spells, we designed her as a black woman with some tattoos and some bone decorations. Since she lived in the Americas as an adult, her clothing design was as close as possible to the American women's clothing at that time. The monkey head wood carving in her hand refers to traditional African carvings and also hints at the character's origin.

## Change Log

December 2nd, 2021
* Adjustment: Adjusted the distance and time required for the Enchantress to gain Guard stacks. Originally, it would take 13.2/21.7/33.3 seconds to gain the first stack of Guard within 1.7/8.4/16.9 meters. It will now take 9.4/15.6/23.8 seconds within 2.5/10.1/16.9 meters.
* Adjustment: Increased the reduction coefficients of the time required for the Enchantress to gain Guard stacks. Increased the Enchantress's efficiency when gaining the first 5 stacks of Guard and reduced the efficiency thereafter, but the maximum time required remains the same.

September 15th, 2022
* Nerf: The Enchantress's Guard-stacking speed is reduced by 35% when a Survivor is within 12.7 meters of her.

## Trivia

* Her adoptive mother is based on Marie Laveau, a renowned Louisianan voodoo practitioner from the 19th century.
	+ In the 2020 Christmas Event, she calls her adoptive mother "Mother Mary" (likely referencing Marie).
* She is currently the oldest female survivor at 35 years old.
* She appears the second and third episodes of the stage play series produced in Japan. She was played by Otowa Mikako. Her Poison Berry costume appears in the mirror world in Episode 3.
* Her old title was Shaman but was changed to Enchantress.
* She is 1 of 14 survivors that have a 'secondary role' which classifies them in two categories. (This can be seen on the paperclip when viewing Survivor Profiles.)
	+ She is classified as both a Contain and Assist role, Contain appears to be her primary role while Assist is her secondary role.
	+ She was previously a pure Contain Type Survivor until it was changed to Contain/Assist on May 19th 2022 Update.
