"On the roof, you find the girl your friend was talking about. In one hand, she holds a bag. In the other, a pair of bloody scissors..."
Maru, Marked by the Scissor Lady is a Special Enemy encounter in World of Horror.
Appearance[]
Maru is a girl with black long shriveled hair and wearing casual outfit. There is a long gash on her empty eyes and has a Glasgow smile, revealing her molars. There is also a cut on her neck as well. As mentioned in the pre-combat texts, she carries a bag and a pair of bloody scissors, with the latter being used as an offensive weapon in her attacks against the player.
Story[]
Maru is a student of the unnamed School in Shiokawa, Japan. Although not much is known about her, she is implied to be mentioned in the chosen character's friend by their Friend's Diary.
At some point prior to the mystery, she decides to attempt the ritual to banish the Scissor Woman but was not heard from again, strongly implying that she has failed to complete the ritual.
If the player encounters Maru, it is revealed that she has been "marked by the Scissor Lady". She now has the Sissor Woman's signature facial wound and has lost her eyes as well. She attacks the player on sight, leading to the player being able to choose to attack back kill her or escape the combat. If Maru is not encountered or if the fight is ran away from, then her fate remains unknown.
Location[]
Maru can only be encountered as one of two possible encounters during the third investigation of Spine-Chilling Story of School Scissors, if the event text says that the BLESSED CHALK is located "on the roof".
Combat Lines[]
- "MARU stabs you with her scissors!"
Trivia[]
- Maru is one of the human (or former human) enemies to have a name.
- However, she is the only enemy to have her name intact, as all of the enemies with names are only revealed by pre-combat texts.
