    That’s kind of rude.

      Defence mechanism. A way to protect herself by scaring away threats.

      She just rolled a natural 1 on her intimidate check, however.

    So, she’s hiding in the Library basement due to social anxiety? She’s afraid of losing face?

      Social Anxiety is no joke. Without regular happy-pilling, my anxiety would be up on the nearest water-tower, buck naked with an assault rifle, a box of dynamite, a carton of Camel Wide Unfiltereds, and a blowtorch, screaming unkind platitudes at the police and National Guard.

      With regular happy-pilling, it’s content to sit up on the roof of the house in its underwear, flinging pine-cones at the squirrels and the occasional neighbor who wanders into range…

    Well, we all have a face
    That we hide away forever
    And we take them out
    And show ourselves when everyone has gone

    She can cause plant “spikes” to grow out of the ground. Maybe she’s a relative of Castela.

      I think she IS Castela, albeit from a parallel universe, where she had almost been weaponized, but escaped to the Library and hid out.

        I dont think its actually her but a demon conventy manifestation of one of her fears that must have formed after the valentines arc since deizt is not even scared of it

      Kinda look like Aku’s spikes from Samurai Jack to me. How can you tell they’re plant spikes and not shadow, metal, or stone spikes?

    yeah ol’ d has seen worse. I imagine that Monica when she’s pissed can be pretty scary and this is before becoming a Jaguar girl. Latinas have a temper…. lol

    He’s Dietzel! The Dinky One has seen worse, way worse. Unless you’re a June bug, he really isn’t going to be intimidated by you.

      Or a Frisbee. Other than that dog’s hung with the ultimate in fierce and scary, from demons to Jaguar Girls to Death itself and he knows when the scary face is an attempt to hide a person’s fears.

    This is feeling to me as if we’re seeing a personification of pain and withdrawal… hiding in a basement away from people, wearing a false face with a bizarre aspect, and then reacting to approach by shedding that false face and showing hostility and defensiveness. Sort of a personal “defense in depth” arrangement.

    Someone’s Trauma demon? If so, whose?

    I suspect a painful back-story… someone has been hurt, badly.

    Mini-Dietzel does not give a single, solitary toss about your angsting! HE SHALL GIVE YOU LOVES.

      My God; no wonder everyone loves Dietzel; because Dietzel loves everyone!

      Except Squirrels! He’s afraid of Squirrels, and now he has reason to be, if he acts like a Nut. Why would any Being react to Deitzel that way? He’s certainly not a threat. What I see here is recognition. She knows him, and he knows her. If she’s an Other-Verse Analog of Pickle, or some Unknown and partially Broken Golem, the only way I can explain it is
      o Anyone who comes near her is hurt.
      o She doesn’t want Dietzel to be hurt.
