Rope Shrine Maiden
HAPPY HALLOWEEN~!
Seriously. Since I'm incapable of keeping to deadlines, I'll have to post this really early. (....Now, let's pretend this isn't a late Halloween leftover from last year that wasn't scanned until now. *cough*)
Anyway! This is Kirie from Project Zero/Fatal Frame. She's my second favourite antagonist from the franchise, Sae taking the first place (and because I don't know anything about Reika yet, just started playing the third game).
More about Kirie:
Kirie was chosen as the sacrificial maiden for the Strangling Ritual. Ropes were tied around her limbs and neck and she was strangled to death (ow). Then the bloodied ropes were used to seal the Hell Gate but that failed and Malice started spreading around the place. Kirie was possessed and went on a killing spree. Etc. Also, sad love story. ;_;
Kirie belongs to Tecmo, etc.
