Added DiffLines:

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Due to [[SheatheYourSword its nature]], it's coded differently compared to other Abnormalities to keep it from being unbearable to deal with.
** It's one of the few hostile entities in the game that employees will not automatically attack if it enters the same room as them, to avoid triggering a guaranteed death or two while it [[ScratchDamage does its thing.]]
** It's the only Abnormality in the game that will not trigger Little Red Riding Hooded Mercenary's Qliphoth Counter upon breaching, since it does so often unless you're constantly working on it, which would make the latter Abnormality much more frustrating to contain.

** The Red Shoes reference a story that goes by the same name, which was created by Creator/HansChristianAndersen. But instead of involuntarily dancing until their feet have to be severed, the victim is driven to a murderous rage and cuts everyone around them apart. Oddly enough, The Red Shoes isn't classified as a Fairy Tale Abnormality (an F), but instead an Original (an O).

* {{Foreshadowing}}: An early Abnormality who can name-drop Carmen, one of the most important figures in the story of Lobotomy Corporation, in the description of its EGO long before the player likely knows anything about her, let alone her name.
--> ''Bearing unlimited possibility to change humanity's future, confidential research began in the underground. The researchers laid down all sense of dignity, but they did not feel guilty as they had the greater good to pursue. Even the merciful Carmen condoned the project.''

** [[spoiler: In a way, Forsaken Murderer's story foreshadows many of the major revelations of this game and [[VideoGame/LibraryOfRuina it's sequel]]. Namely the idea of a head/brain being turned into metal, which is effectively what the Sephira [[BrainUploading really are]], and the mantra of "Ends, begins, ends, begins", which reflects Angela's situation of being [[GroundhogsDayLoop trapped in an endless loop of beginning and restarting the same 50 days over and over again]].]]

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Of the Little Match Girl. The original girl simply passed away happily, while this version of her caused a fire and was reborn as a vengeful spirit instead, still wishing to burn others to keep the flame alive.



* {{PyroManiac}}: She lit matches to see visions of a better life, to the point of accidentally causing a fire and burning herself to death.

* CuteAndPsycho: It's an extremely cute small puppy, to the extent that much of its log is filled with descriptions of how employees were lining up in order to work with it. It's also capable of HulkingOut and going on a rampage...at the same time, meaning that employees tend not to notice or outright care that it is.

* ShoutOut: A particularly obscure one to an old Korean urban legend about people going missing and being held captive on fishing boats after drinking a can of Welch soda laced with a sleeping pill. The full portrait for the Abnormality is based on an advertisement for [=LOTTE=] coffee that was made in the 90's.

The Firebird is an exception to the general rule of work results, as Bad work results will cause its Qliphoth counter to instead ''increase'', while both good and neutral results have a chance to decrease it. However, this can be a boon, as when an employee works with The Firebird and either has less than 20% of their own HP left, or works when The Firebird's Qliphoth counter is at 1, The Firebird will briefly turn into its flaming form and heal the employee. When its Qliphoth counter hits zero, however, The Firebird will breach, spreading its flames across the room for Red damage and counterattacking employees who try to suppress it for White damage. The Firebird will continue like this, either until it is suppressed, or until it decides to return to its containment on its own. Suppressing it is the only way to obtain its E.G.O weapon, which otherwise can't be purchased normally.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: They're adorable fairies that heal your workers. It becomes apparent that they're just keeping their future meals fresh rather fast, and they will eat and kill any under their care if they're ordered to work on another abnormality.


Added DiffLines:

%%* TheParanoiac: Employees under the Fairies' Care will be eaten if they go into a containment unit other than the Fairy Forest's. What's actually in the containment unit doesn't change anything, even if it's harmless or entirely psychological in effect, the fairies aren't taking any chances of their food being stolen from them.

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: Albeit one that isn't as extensive as [=WhiteNight=], Silent Orchestra, Binah or Apocalypse Bird's effects, but the ''reason'' why it's completely, well, [[ShapedLikeItself censored]]? That's because you, the player, [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm would go insane just looking at it]]. It's also heavily implied it's the reason why ''half'' of the past Managers had to be terminated from their position, as even with the cognitive filter raised to its maximum setting, it's still ''that'' damaging to your psyche.
