[New Character]

Name: Cléo Decroux Identity: Mime Artist
Character Background: Cléo Decroux’s delusions grow unchecked in her mind, leaving her unable to find her place in reality or beneath the spotlight.
[External Trait] Improvisation
Depending on the emotions that rise within her, the Mime Artist performs two different mime routines.
Joyful Routine
The Mime Artist opens the Prop Umbrella and gleefully acts it out on a windy day. In the simulated wind, the Prop Umbrella pulls the Mime Artist forward in a straight line for 10.1 meters. Colliding with an obstacle ends the movement early, and a simulated wall and simulated pallet are created behind her. If there is not enough space on either side of the path, the simulated wall cannot be created. If there is no obstacle near where the Mime Artist stops, or if there is an interactable object nearby, the simulated pallet cannot be created.
When there are no Survivors other than the Mime Artist within 25 meters of the Hunter, the Hunter destroys simulated pallets 15% slower.
The simulated wall disappears 10 seconds after the simulated pallet is destroyed. If no simulated pallet is created, the simulated wall disappears 10 seconds after being created.
Anxious Routine
The Mime Artist tosses the Prop Umbrella, anxiously recreating the scene of returning to the stage. Centered on the umbrella, a circular simulated stage with a radius of 12.7 meters is created and lasts for 15 seconds. When a Survivor enters the simulated stage, the Prop Umbrella appears at the Survivor closest to the center of the stage and creates an area with a radius of 4.2 meters. The Prop Umbrella behaves differently depending on the targets within that area:
If a Hunter is present, the Prop Umbrella prioritizes attacking the Hunter.
If a Survivor is present, the Prop Umbrella pulls them in, then launches them a set distance in the chosen direction after 2 seconds. The Survivor can also be launched early. After that, the Prop Umbrella disappears.
The Prop Umbrella has a 4-second cooldown.
- [External Trait] Pent-Up
The Mime Artist gathers Emotional Fragments through different actions. She can use her item only when both Joy and Anxiety are full. She can switch between routines, and doing so changes the balance between the two emotions.
When the Mime Artist moves or interacts, she gains Joy Fragments over time. When she hits the Hunter with a pallet, Joy is filled instantly.
When a Hunter is within 10.1 meters of the Mime Artist while she is decoding, or when the Mime Artist or a nearby teammate is injured, she gains Anxiety Fragments over time. When the Mime Artist’s Fear increases, Anxiety is filled instantly.
When the Mime Artist switches routines, she gains 20% more of the related Emotional Fragments. This can be triggered once every 30 seconds.
- [External Trait] Side Step
During a performance, the Mime Artist uses special footwork. While performing Joyful Routine near the simulated wall, Movement Speed increases by 3%. While performing Anxious Routine on the simulated stage, Movement Speed increases by 3%. - [External Trait] Deep Bonds
Her companions have always held an important place in her heart. Whenever a teammate takes damage, the Mime Artist’s Decoding Speed decreases by 10% for 20 seconds. Triggering this effect again resets the duration. The Decoding Speed penalty does not stack.
