New PiP Verse Enemy Concept featuring the Ceruse Lady!
The Ceruse Ladies are these spindly, pale mannequin-like androids that are found in department stores and on the streets nearby, designed to only wear pretty outfits/excessive makeup/gaudy accessories and advertise the products they brandish. Ceruse Ladies, unfortunately, have the tendency to malfunction and it isn’t uncommon to see their eye pop out or to see “blemishes” that show up on their skin while informing shoppers about the dress it wears. Some are also said be notoriously… “jealous” of other types of robots and they may lash out on an unlucky robot that they don’t like.
When Porcelain comes along, the Ceruse Ladies will stay completely still and observe them from a distance. Should Porcelain disturb them, whether by getting too close or attempting to steal items off of them, the Ceruse Ladies will quickly chase after them, violently slashing at Porcelain with their birdlike claws meant for attacking shoplifters.
While Porcelain can avoid them by keeping their distance, it should be noted that these vicious robots can have rare items or medicine on their person and sometimes Porcelain must get close in order to progress, inevitably evoking the Ceruse Ladies’ envious wrath…
