36An Eastside hairdresser as well as the subject of the Fog Alley urban legend.
37----
38* AmnesiaLoop: [[WellIntentionedExtremist She unintentionally causes this whenever she makes people forget about their worries by "giving haircuts" to their memories.]] This is because without solving the fundamental problem of their worries, her victims end up doing what caused their worries in the first place because they don't remember. This is worsened by the fact that victims become increasingly mentally unsound because they keep forgetting and end up indulging themselves again.
39* AmnesiacHero: She not only causes amnesia to her victims including the Chief during ''The Phantom of the Mist'' event, but also to herself in order to forget her painful past.
40* AmnesiacResonance: What undoes her in ''The Phantom of the Mist'' event; while Adela may be able to cause partial amnesia to her victims, she is not able to completely get rid of every aspect of their memories.
41* ChattyHairdresser: As much as she [[CreepyGood looks eerie, she is able to get her customers to talk about their worries]]. She then proceeds to "cut" away their worries when she cuts their hair.
42* DejaVu: Despite how her Sinner power makes people lose their memories by getting a haircut from her, it is possible for her victims to feel familiarity.
43* EasyAmnesia: The fact that she can give induce amnesia just by "cutting" your hair is this. She had briefly made the Chief [[AmnesiaDanger forget about their shackles]] and [[ForgotTheCall their identity]] before they recover their memories by the end of ''The Phantom of the Mist'' event.
44* ForgottenFirstMeeting: Invoked given how her power as a Sinner can make people forget their first meeting by getting a haircut from her.
45* {{Hammerspace}}: One of the supervision events has the Chief investigating a rumor about how she can seemingly produce anything from her counter. The Chief asked for a bottle of peach juice and a vinyl record of the band Spaceship as a test. Adela is able to give what the Chief asks for without delay. It turns out that all of these items are trimmed memories that her clients left behind after the haircut and Adela is able to physically manifest them in real life.
46* IdentityAmnesia: Her power to cause amnesia can also lead to her victims often suffering an identity crisis.
47* IWorkAlone: Gameplay-wise, Adela gains a 15% CRIT Rate increase when there are no other Sinners present within the cross-area range.
48* ShearMenace: The one behind the Mad Shear myth. While exact numbers aren't certain given how the amnesia-causing nature of her ability severely hinders the investigation, incomplete research shows that she has victimized close to a hundred people.
49* TragicKeepsake: While she does not remember why she still has some items like an old key to the house where she and her mother once lived, she still keeps them around during her travels. One of the supervision events even explores how Adela wonders why she has this gem pendant that serves as a locket with a photo of a young woman hidden inside. The Chief recognizes that it is Adela's mother and they can either choose to say the woman in question is just an ordinary woman or imply that maybe the woman in question is someone important to Adela.
50* WellIntentionedExtremist: She makes people forget about their worries by "giving haircuts" to their memories because she thinks that people are better off without those burdens.
51* WistfulAmnesia: Adela is able to cause this to her victims. This applies to the Chief as well as they only retain the sense that they haven't fully resolved the crisis by the end of ''The Phantom of the Mist'' event. It is not until Adela's interrogation that Chief is able to fully close the case.

70\
71The eldest daughter of the prominent Franc family and an extremely famous food critic that every chef in [=DisCity=] is dying to meet just to ask for her review on their food.
72----
73* AdaptationNameChange: In Chinese, her name is "Carmenette".
74* AffablyEvil: Cabernet is unfailingly polite and nice to people even to those rude to her, [[spoiler: but she only aims to feed on your soul.]]
75* TheBadGuyWins: Zig-zagged. [[spoiler:She was the one who controlled and planned the whole party from the start to securing ingredients and recovering Greg and Carley who are her stolen ingredients for herself. The trope comes in when she does manage to absorb the Chief's soul who she wanted to "taste" so badly but not the point of killing them as she leaves knowing the Chief will look for her. It's implied in the end she was captured pretty quickly after the Chief recovered.]]
76** [[spoiler:During her interrogation, she succeeds in making Chief's soul shine so it can be tastier by manipulating his possessions. However, what she did not expect was finding Chief to be the one who understood her intentions and motives, which she at least finally abides to Chief's wish to not consume other souls than theirs.]]
77* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler: It's major spoilers to reveal that the party she wanted the Chief, Macchiato, and Kelvin infiltrates are all Cabernet's doing to not only secure her stolen ingredients who are Carly and Greg, but to see which people were the tastiest souls in the party. While she wasn't part of [=McGarth=]'s plot, she took advantage of the chef's wanting to please her to see which souls would end up being the best ingredient, that ended up being the Chief.]]
78* DealWithTheDevil: While Cabernet is not actually a devil, the deal that the chief has to make in return for her being shackled is quite demonic. [[spoiler:This is because she promised to never feed on any souls other than Chief's soul]].
79* DisappointedInYou: [[spoiler: When [=McGarth=] says she did everything to please Cabernet and give her the best ingredients for her review, Cabernet disagrees and points out [=McGarth=] wouldn't even know what incredible ingredients would be. She remembers how she praised [=McGarth=]'s cooking but she sees how the chef's heart is and bluntly tells her she's incredibly disgusting.]]
80* EntitledToHaveYou: [[spoiler:She has a room of people that she wanted to cultivate albeit restricting their freedom. However, she immediately doesn't keep the Chief for herself as she wants to continue to savor the Chief's soul and not let them die or become a soulless husk.]]
81* ImAHumanitarian: Averted. Cabernet says during her interrogation that as much as she enjoys tasting, she is not into tasting human bodies. She is rather into tasting good foods and [[spoiler:human souls]].
82* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:In her interrogation, Chief finds out Cabernet lured Greg with the promise she would give up Carley but never did because she wanted to see the couple's souls to shine out. Then, she decides to extract Greg's soul to give to Carley so Chief can witness it and let their emotions come out so that their soul gets tastier for her, possibly not caring if one or both would die in the process. Chief is angered by this as she led to Carley and Greg's miserable states which she wanted to see their soul shine]].
83* LackOfEmpathy: [[spoiler:Shows this with how she treated her "personal possessions" Greg and Carley. She shows no remorse or guilt for what she did to them as what only interested her from them was how tasty and special their souls were. Even as Chief lectures her on what she did and witnesses the event in which Greg gives his soul to Carley, she listens like a bored bystander. Chief, understandably, is truly disgusted by Cabernet's callous behavior in contrast to how she was first shown]].
84* MeaningfulName: Her name ''Cabernet'' is related to Cabernet Sauvignon, a variety of red grape used in wine-making. This makes sense as her favorite food is grape. Her last name ''Franc'' relates to a former unit of currency of France, Belgium and Luxembourg, that were replaced by euro. Her family is OldMoney and are very rich.
85* NonIdleRich: She is a food critic who clearly doesn't need money but she enjoys eating amazing food and critiquing them. [[spoiler:Of course this is a front to hide her activities as SoulEater to find the humans with the best souls]].
86* OldMoney: Heavily implied that her family is one and an especially rich one, considering Cabernet explains how every Franc child is born with a silver spoon in their mouth and it's very easy to get what they want.
87* PetTheDog: She showed an unusual interest in Chief the first time they meet and during the events of the party and most people remark that it's rare for Cabernet to show an extreme amount of fondness for someone although some of the people who said that were jealous of Cabernet focusing on the Chief. [[spoiler: It turns out because she saw the Chief had the most delicious soul of everyone at the party and Cabernet wanted to taste them so badly which she accomplishes at the [[TheBadGuyWins end.]]]]
88** That said, she does oblige the Chief's deal [[spoiler:that she will not eat anyone's soul but theirs]]. And she genuinely likes [[MoralityPet them]] to a somewhat creepy degree.
89* PickyEater: She was raised in a rich family and had the best food served to her, resulting in her being extremely picky with her food.[[spoiler: Her being picky with one chef resulted her in becoming a Sinner because of the realization the best food comes from the soul.]]
90* RichBoredom: This is how she was even before turning into a Sinner, being born in the famous Franc family. Nothing could truly sate her, as she was bored, even the best stuff given to her because it was extremely easy to do so. [[spoiler:[[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife Tasting souls]] was the only thing that made feel something significant.]] The only person who really stirs her heart is Chief, the only person who can understand her which makes her very doting on them.
91* [[spoiler:SoulEating]]: While Cabernet has a public image as a food critic who tastes food to evaluate, [[spoiler:she is actually a SoulEater who prefers to taste souls that have tasty emotions like a couple's love for each other. She especially likes the Chief's soul due to their sharp, perceptive, intelligent, honest, and kind natures tasting quite divine.]]
92* SpoiledBrat: She's actually extremely polite with scenes of her being rude being rare. This trope comes in as Chief states what she has that she considers normal is what other people want, like putting food on the table and just getting by in life. [[spoiler:This also comes with her kidnapping people that she considers ingredients without a care in their health such as with Greg and Carly so she could see their souls shine.]]
93* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cabernet likes grapes enough that other chefs, who couldn't get high scores for their food, try to exploit this. [[spoiler:It turns out that grape is not just Cabernet's TraditionallyFavoriteFood just for taste, however, as her Sinner power as a SoulEater crystalized the soul as grapes.]]

115Drifter Camp's lively musician and Oak Casket's friend. Might or might not ask the Chief to pay up.
116----
117* AdaptationNameChange: In Japanese, her name is "Toto" instead.
118* GenkiGirl: She's an energetic suona player who roams around Drifter Camp. Although she often bargains with [=DisCoins=], she brings joy and entertainment to the residents with her music and never-ending enthusiasm.
119* OddFriendship: With the death-loving Oak Casket.
120** When Oak Casket voluntarily gets arrested, Dudu's profile states she followed alongside with her to be with Oak. Also, she seems to be the only friend Oak can talk to quite normally and is one of the people to help her try and get used to being in the MBCC.
121** In Hecate's Picturebook arts, Dudu asked for K.K.'s help in getting items from other Sinners such as Kelvin's ice cream, Stargazer's predictions, Chelsea's jewelry, etc. to help Oak Casket get used to living in the bureau. She also covers some of Oak Casket's crimes too.
122* SignatureInstrument: She takes her suona everywhere she goes and plays it all over Drifter Camp. Every time she plays it, she always try to make people pay for just listening to her songs — especially the Chief.
123* WillTalkForAPrice: Is aware of the Chief and their association with The Legion, and she will reveal the rest... at the price of 200,000 Discoins.

143A well-known radio host for a program called Call at 3 AM. She is the featured Sinner for the ''Velvety Susurration'' event.
144----
145* ArousedByTheirVoice: One of the reasons why Eleven's job as a radio host for a late-night radio show called Call at 3 AM is so popular is due to how audiences like the sound of her voice.
146* ExhaustedEyeBags: As Eleven's late-night radio show happens at nighttime, she is getting SleepDeprivation as shown in the emotional check.
147* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Averted. While Eleven is quite social given how she has to talk with people as a late-night radio host, she likes to have alone time as well. That is why one of the supervision events shows how Eleven is one of the few people who voluntarily asks to stay in the Confinement Cell for hours and always appears exceptionally refreshed after coming out.
148* ThousandYardStare: Out of all Sinners, Eleven seems to have the most frequent ThousandYardStare whenever she is stressed. This may be justified when she is getting SleepDeprivation as a late-night radio host and thus has ExhaustedEyeBags as a result.

167\
168A young, beautiful, and widowed tailor who had been accused of poisoning her husband, Mr. Braun, for an inheritance dispute.
169----
170* AffablyEvil: A kind-hearted, polite, and motherly tailor [[spoiler:who won't hesitate to kill someone as an assassin except if you impressed her and show you are a morally good person for her to give up on killing you.]]
171* AgeGapRomance: What could be seen on the surface with her as a young woman and deceased husband Braun, who was an elderly sick man.
172%%* Beauty Mark: She has on the bottom right side of her mouth and another on her left breast.
173* AtLeastIAdmitIt: [[spoiler:When Rahu brings up how awful Garofano's actions are when harming innocent civilians in her goals, she admits having dirtied her hands and having to do "dirty work" for Mania traffickers and immoral bastards, but she doesn't care since she sees them to be able to have info on Paradeisos.]]
174* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler:Just like Sumire, she was planning to kill the Chief because of their position, the director of the MBCC, but seeing how they were genuinely nice and kind to Sinners, including herself, she changed her mind.]]
175* BelievingTheirOwnLies: What she believes are the best lies, alongside mixing some truth in it that even the liar themselves believe it. [[spoiler:As a result of her flawless lies, the Chief's Shackles were unable to pick up her true intentions to eliminate Chief and they can't tell if she's telling the truth or not after they find out she's been deceiving them this whole time. Even then, Garofano admits what she said to them were maybe true showing even she can't tell if she was telling the truth or not at that time.]]
176* BeneathTheMask: Behind her caring, kind side, [[spoiler:she has a merciless side as an assassin from the Garden. Plus, she is able to play with her emotions well by injecting her true experiences to make the lie feel more believable. She also has unhinged, obsessive side with people she considers her possession that she hides, leading her to be very overprotective of them.]] As the Chief states, she's a "master of disguise".
177* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: She takes it upon herself to help Sinners, especially the younger Sinners. Even Hella allows her to fix her clothes and hat and says she is very kind and open to help others. She admits she enjoys being relied on since she's so used to taking care of others... and because it would make others stay with her forever. This also adds as she did have younger biological siblings whom she loved very much and cared for.
178** [[spoiler:The reason for her attacks on Paradeisos people and Shalom was so she can stop them from extinguishing the Garden.]]
179* BlackWidow: [[spoiler:If her answer to Rahu's question on her ''dead husbands'' goes by, she had likely [[FemmeFatale seduced]] and married some of her targets many times to kill them and Braun was her 'latest' husband to target.]]
180* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: She lost her entire family to a Mania attack leading to Mr. Braun, an elderly, rich philanthropist, to give her help to get her life back on track. [[spoiler:Despite her lies to the Chief, her story of losing her biological family to her Corruptor turned father is true.]] There is one mention of her mother who is presumed deceased, and the only guardian she and her younger siblings had was her [[GoodParents father]] [[spoiler:before his transformation as a Corruptor.]]
181* CoolBigSis: She is considered this by many of the younger Sinners because of her motherly, dependent nature. [[spoiler: Younger Garden members like Sumire, Thistle, and Gekkabijin see her as a big sister figure, helped that she's a senior member of The Garden.]]
182* {{Determinator}}: Having resolute willpower, there is absolutely no doubt she is not one [[spoiler: especially when it came to avenging her family by killing all key people involved, protecting the Chief, and The Garden by murdering people in Paradeisos.]]
183** [[spoiler:Best shown in Rain Burst where she uses the power given to her by Parma and being able to mentally control herself to an extent and not turning into a Corruptor.]]
184* CopCriminalFamily: Downplayed, but more of the Cop side, her father was a transport member in the FAC who worked in the logistics department. And if her statements are true, her younger brother and sister wanted to be FAC members too. According to her, they were righteous and kind people.
185** [[spoiler: Makes it a bit [[DramaticIrony ironic]] as she became an Garden assassin to kill the higher FAC officials who were responsible for her family's demise and gained a hatred and distrust for said higher ups. She also doesn't have such a big view on the FAC's traditions of sacrificing themselves for others too.]]
186* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:Her constant attacks on the Erica Villa allows Shalom to set up a trap for her to which she was finally captured. Not to mention, she was used as a bait for Coquelic to come and rescue her which Shalom wanted.]]
187* FakeRelationship: It turns out she never had a real marriage with Mr. Braun, instead being an orphan he helped after her family's death and even accepted her as a Sinner. She states they were more like brother and sister. Garofano also states he had a wife who died earlier and she promised her she would take care of her elderly sick husband. As his new wife, she went to social events voluntarily in his place. [[spoiler:How much of this is true is ambiguous considering she wanted to kill him and his brother. It's also unknown if she ever killed Braun's previous wife]].
188* FamilyOfChoice: She still loves her [[spoiler:deceased]] biological family but she begins seeing the MBCC and Chief as this. [[spoiler:She also sees the Garden as this after losing her whole biological family. She is violently protective of them as they helped her with avenging her family and some of the younger members sees her as a big sister figure]].
189* FemmeFatale: [[spoiler:Her last interrogation has her referred to as having the air of a femme fatale when she kills Younger Mr. Braun and his gang, with her long hair down, exposing a bit of cleavage, and having a cold smile. She was playing innocence to gain Chief's sympathy and deceive them so she could assassinate them. Her method is after all, gaining the target's trust and love before killing them at their weakest moment.]]
190* FlowerMotifs: Her flower motif is a carnation. [[spoiler:Makes sense when you discover she's an operative from the Garden where most members are named after flowers.]]
191* FriendToAllChildren: She has a soft side with children, shown with a flashback and going the extra mile for younger Sinners. Helped she was an elder sister to two siblings who she took care of.
192* GoodIsNotSoft: Just like Anne, do not underestimate Garofano because of her gentle, kind nature. [[spoiler:She's a Garden operative and considering she was this close to killing the Chief when she immobilized them with a poison but choose not to because she saw their caring, noble character. She was also able to deceive their Shackles with well-done lies to the point Chief becomes hesitant to trust her again since they can't tell now if she's lying or telling the truth anymore.]]
193** [[spoiler:As an assassin from the Garden, she has killed people and it's implied like Sumire she's been doing this for a long time as she tells Chief her long-hunting habit.]]
194* GoodParents: While it's unknown to how she thinks of her mother, she saw her father to be a good parent as she claims he loved and cherished her and his children. [[spoiler:It makes sense to why she hesitated to kill him when he became a Corruptor but this led to her siblings being slained by him leading her to never hesitating to use extreme methods now.]]
195* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:While she was never bad and only wanted to kill Chief for locking up her fellow Sinners, which led to her deciding to not kill the Chief after seeing what kind of person they really are and began to see them like her own family and possession]].
196* HiddenDepths: Underneath her motherly figure side, she has a unhinged, somewhat possessive personality but only towards people she really cherishes like Chief. This is probably left by her DarkAndTroubledPast, where she lost her entire family and being the only survivor [[spoiler:she became extremely overprotective of people she loves and only calmed down due to Chief and being in the calm environment of the MBCC]]. Considering she's a Sinner, this is not surprising.
197* HitmanWithAHeart: [[spoiler:She does not have any hesitations to attack innocent people to get to her goals but she doesn't go out of her way to kill anyone for evil reasons. She does it so she can protect the people she loves, example being the Garden and Chief. Speaking of the latter, she wanted to kill them but luckily did not, seeing their selfless, caring character. Although she can be somewhat sadistic as seen with Braun's gang and Rahu, taking her sweet time jabbing her with poisoned needles in the latter instead of outright killing her. Plus, she has a soft side with children and never targets children]].
198* IOweYouMyLife: [[spoiler:To the Garden. It was thanks to the assassination group who saved and helped her with her revenge that Garofano gives her life for the Garden]].
199** A minor one to the Chief [[spoiler: after they try to protect her from Braun and his goons. Although at this point, Garofano had already given up on assassinating the Chief, this is probably one of the scenes where it cements her desire to protect the Chief.]]
200* LiarRevealed: [[spoiler: Turns out in her final interrogation Garofano has been deceiving Chief of who she was, especially being revealed as a member of the Garden. This leads to Chief being wary of her and being unable to tell if she's telling a truth or a lie anymore.]]
201* LoveMakesYouEvil: A significant reason to [[spoiler:why she became a Garden assassin for her dead family. Her immediate killing of Braun's brother to protect Chief can count as this, as she sees them to be someone she cherishes, her possession to be exact.]] [[spoiler:Another is her killing Paradeisos people to protect the Garden from being destroyed]].
202* LuminescentBlush: She shows this when Chief tries to cheer her up by asking if they can be family with her, [[spoiler: but this also showns up during her fight with Rahu and when she sees the Chief safe from harm in Interrogation 3. After she mercilessly kills Braun and his thugs. It kind of makes you think she's a sadist or a {{Yandere}} or both. Although it's best to say she's unhinged.]]
203* MeaningfulName: Given how the [[spoiler: Mentor]] names her assassins based on flowers, Garofano's name is this as it is the Italian word for carnation. What her real name was, it's unknown for now.
204* MirrorCharacter: With her [[spoiler:fellow Garden member, Sumire.]]
205** Both come from the same organization. [[spoiler:Both had the mission to kill the Chief, the director of the MBCC. However, in Sumire's case she decided from the beginning to not kill the Chief after seeing how they acted and how being around them led some of her symptoms to disappear, while it's implied Garofano went on her own accord to assassinate Chief when she came to the MBCC. However, just like Sumire, seeing Chief's personality and how the MBCC was like changed her mind.]]
206** Both end up loving the Chief and wanting to protect them from harm. [[spoiler:Sumire is shown to be in love with the Chief with deep and sincere romantic love, while Garofano is more of the doting, seducing and possessive type for the Chief. Sumire stops assassins from the Garden and anyone else for the matter from killing the Chief and Garofano has no hesitation to kill almost anyone who try to take Chief away from her.]] [[spoiler:When Chief goes into coma during the Rustfire events, both go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge for them as they go back to the Garden. While Sumire is overlooking the targets with patience and waiting for the right moment to strike, Garofano ends up being used by Segal and Parma due to her impatience and anger.]]
207** The way Chief interacts with them. [[spoiler:They were cautious against Sumire due to knowing she was an assassin but not to Garofano because she played the innocent woman who didn't kill her husband stereotype. Only towards the end of their interrogation, their view towards them is reversed: Chief ends up trusting Sumire after seeing her sincerity and how self-sacrificing she is for them, while they hesitate to trust Garofano again because of her deceptions and being unable to tell if she's telling the truth or not anymore.]]
208** Both have a motif of flowers. [[spoiler:This makes sense when they both come from the Garden, where the Mentor names her assassins after flowers.]]
209* MotherlySidePlait: She has this as her default hairstyle and is a mother figure to young Sinners who look up to her. She was implied to be the mother figure to her younger siblings since she never mentions her mother aside one time. [[spoiler:This ends up zig-zagged, as while she is genuinely kind and motherly towards others; when she allows her ''very'' long hair to come undone to bandage Chief's wounds, this ends up showing her ruthless, sadistic side as an assassin from the Garden as she kills Braun and his thugs easily showing she's definitely not a weak person.]]
210* MuggingTheMonster: She thought Shalom was a weak, useless Paradeisos woman when she never realized Shalom was [[spoiler:the Hush, a very powerful, calculating S-rank Sinner.]]
211* MultipleIdentityIDs: [[spoiler:Braun is one of her latest cover names, coming from a supervision event with Chief, she had build up multiple identities that've become bulletproof.]]
212* {{Murder Inc}}: [[spoiler:Garofano is part of the Sinner assassin organization called the Garden.]]
213* NecessarilyEvil: [[spoiler:She knows she's dirtied her hands by killing innocent people in Paradeisos, but in her words, it's a necessary sacrifice so she can get to her goal of stopping them from destroying the Garden. Not to mention, she doesn't find Paradeisos people innocent in the first place.]]
214* NeverBeHurtAgain: One of the primary reasons for her extreme methods in protecting others [[spoiler: since her hesitation to kill her father-turned-Corruptor resulted in him killing her siblings which she could have saved]] resulting her to use extreme methods without hesitation.
215* ObnoxiousInLaws: Her brother-in-law, Braun's younger brother who is a gambling addict and dislikes Garofano for taking his brother's heart, or rather his attention and giving him money to spend on gambling. [[spoiler:He comes to attack her in her tailor shop for revenge on how he was supposed to inherit his brother's money but was foiled by Chief. Unforunately for him, Garofano easily kills him for trying to harm Chief and the fact he and her brother were her targets anyway, using him by leaking out the splitting assets and subtly giving him the poison to kill his older brother]].
216* PayEvilUntoEvil: [[spoiler:She murders the people responsible for her family's deaths. She also targets people who want to destroy the Garden and who was responsible for Chief's coma, although Sumire was more in charge of the latter part.]]
217* PleaseDontLeaveMe: She treasures the people she loves a lot [[spoiler: since losing all her family members]] and doesn't want them gone or leave her which makes her do everything for them, example being Chief and [[spoiler:the Garden.]] Even her ECB image has the caption of the trope.
218* PoliteVillainsRudeHeroes: She's the Polite Villain to Rahu's Rude Hero during the [[spoiler:fight in the Erica Villa.]] She still maintains a polite albeit sadistic personality while Rahu is impatient and rude to [[spoiler:asking how she knows so much about the Eclipse Operation and why is she trying to kill Shalom.]]
219* PrecisionFStrike: She drops this during the [[spoiler:Rain Burst event, calling the Paradeisos' people "fucks" for being so secretive.]]
220* ProfessionalKiller: As expected from [[spoiler:an senior operative from the Garden]].
221* PromotionToParent: Heavily implied as she claims her siblings wanted her to baby them. While she had her father who loved and took care of his children, she doesn't mention much of her mother caring for them presumably showing she might be dead.
222* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler: She does not let morals stop her from killing innocent people to get what she wants. Shown best by the Rain Burst event where she releases Corruptors in the Erica Villa and killed innocent Paradeisos people to get to Shalom and her Paradeisos targets.]] [[spoiler: Although in Flora Unfurl, it turns out she was given false information from Segal who used her anger and impatience to do her bidding.]]
223* RedEyesTakeWarning: Seriously, don't mess with this woman. Hurt her possessions and she'll hurt you tenfold more.
224* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Behind her maternal persona, she hides a lot of trauma, pain, and a lot of anger. [[spoiler:She joined The Garden because she lost everything and wanted to find out why exactly her father became a Corruptor, leading her to murder the people responsible for her family's demise which she achieved.]]
225** She also wanted to [[spoiler:eliminate Chief not because of personal reasons, but because she despised how Sinners were treated and locked up in the MBCC till she had a look of how it really functioned and who Chief was actually like changing her mind.]]
226** Also, the reason she [[spoiler:escapes the MBCC and]] goes after [[spoiler:Shalom was because the latter was responsible for Chief's coma during the Rustfire events and being in charge of the operation of trying to exterminate The Garden.]]
227* SoftSpokenSadist: [[spoiler:She shows this throughout her fight with Rahu, but moreso after Rahu adamantly refuses her invitation to The Garden and especially when Rahu decides to use her and Coquelic to gain Paradeisos' attention. She retains her gentle, polite personality but she toys with Rahu with her poison before managing to enrage her enough that the FAC soldier's Mania rises to emergency level, making the soldiers try to stop Rahu. This leads to her laughing darkly with a LuminescentBlush and a dark smirk asking if the FAC will still take her back in her pathetic state and hopes they won't kill her.]]
228* ShipTease: Garofano has shown a doting albeit somewhat possessive personality to the Chief. [[spoiler:While she had planned to kill them in the beginning, the Chief changed her mind when she saw how selfless and caring they were to Sinners.]]
229** Heck, her 100% compliance line sounds almost like a marriage proposal from her to the Chief! In a creepy but passionate way by saying she wants to button Chief to her body and make them hers forever with the promise of cherishing and protecting them, and never letting them out of her sight. [[spoiler:Quite ironic for a woman who has killed a lot of her spouses/partners as targets.]]
230** [[spoiler:When she talks about her deceased FAC soldier husband to Rahu, it's heavily implied to be Chief she is talking about and not Braun. It's more ambiguous to when she states she would have truly fallen in love with them is true or not, the tone in her voice implies this to be perhaps true. In her 100% compliance, she crafted the shirt she promised Chief in Interro. 3 before escaping the MBCC, and left a carnation in the shirt, implying her symbolized love for Chief.]]
231* SmellsSexy: Implied but not explicit as the narration notes her unique fragrance.
232* TilMurderDoUsPart: She was a suspect for her husband's death because of an inheritance issue, to which she states she wasn't married to Mr. Braun and she states she wouldn't inherit anything from him, his estate inheritance was going to be sent to her husband's younger brother. However, according to Garofano later, Mr. Braun wanted to split assets because he gave up on his brother due to his severe gambling habits. [[spoiler:However, while it's unknown to why she wanted Braun and his brother dead; she didn't kill Mr. Braun, but she was planning to and led his brother to do the killing so it made her job easier into killing both of them when his younger brother comes to attack Garofano in revenge.]]
233* TheLostLenore: Her family was this to her. While not only becoming a Sinner in the process, she basically lost the family members she was closest too [[spoiler:and their deaths were the reason she joined the Garden to kill the people responsible for their deaths]].
234* TragicKeepsake: She wears her younger brother's button as a necklace since it reminds her of her [[spoiler:deceased]] family. Her mother told her buttons were very special which implies to why she keeps several buttons on her shawl.
235* VagueAge: While she is very likely in her twenties (like with most Sinners whose ages are vague), she states she was helped by Mr. Braun as an orphan. [[spoiler:It's ambiguous as if her story of Mr. Braun was ever true or not, considering his younger brother called her a hag, either as an insult or she's in fact older than Braun's brother.]]
236* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: [[spoiler: Implied to how she felt after accomplishing her revenge against the people responsible for her biological family's demise but she found a new family in the Garden which gave her a new purpose to live.]]
237* VillainHasAPoint: She does have a point [[spoiler:when she counter-argues with Rahu on how the former didn't even think twice on sparing innocent people for her goals. She's completely well-aware of it but she points out how ordinary people like her and Rahu can obtain the truth they want so badly through normal methods. Seeing how it took Rahu '''10''' years to get even somewhat close with Paradeisos but only because of the opportunity came from Drifter's Camp situation, Garofano does kind of have a point.]]
238* {{Yandere}}: Downplayed, she doesn't try to kill the Chief but is rather possessive and obsessed with them. She will only show this if someone tries to take Chief or someone dear away from her. [[spoiler:Her final interrogation shows her killing off younger Braun and his gang, revealing her [[FemmeFatale true side]] and a Garden assassin; then she asks if Chief is happy with what she did to protect them with a LuminescentBlush smile and blood on her cheek. They obviously say no.]] Most of her voicelines gives this feeling too.

281A shy female photographer who wears a bunny-themed helmet to keep her mania power in check.
282----
283* AnimalMotif: Bunny. Her helmet's ears looks and acts similar to a bunny, as well with carrying small bunny trinkets in her bag.
284* BullyBrutality: Not Lynn, of course, but her bullies jump from elitistic pricks that discriminate her for her family's syndican past straight into this as they beat her with inch of her life for attempting to save the photos they were tearing apart in front of her before one of the bullies ''pulled out a knife and slashed her across the eye''.
285* CowardlyLion: While she may not able to confidently say or do most of the time, she can take action when necessary like helping [=OwO=] with reuniting Stella with her family or giving TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to her family when she tells them how their advice to endure bullying stressed her so much that she became a Sinner.
286* ExpressiveAccessory: Her bunny-themed helmet changes based on her emotion. Her helmet's ears will also react depending on her mood; ears droop down when she's feeling down, and go up when she is surprised.
287* EyeBeams: Her energy beams are extremely powerful and destructive, making a continuous beam that she herself can't control. This can be prevented by wearing the bunny helmet that is made with special material.
288* GoodParents: Lynn is a rare example where her parents care about her despite stigmas regarding Sinners. Of course, her parents had their flaws at first as they initially blamed her because surely she was not doing enough if she was being bullied. But after hearing Lynn's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and her willingness to live for herself, both of her parents became determined to change themselves for the better.
289* ReluctantWarrior: Expresses a complete disinterest in conflict and voices it constantly in her lines - not that this stops her from kicking ass once actually deployed during missions.
290* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Her EyeBeams notably do ''not'' come with a in-built off switch and fire continuously against her will - which means she has to wear her bunny helmet if she hopes to not hurt others with them.
291* ShrinkingViolet: Her weak character, along with her Syndicate origin, made her a target of bullying and ridicule from her classmates. With encouragement from [=OwO=] and her crew, she puts in the effort to stand up for herself one step at a time.

332\
333The serene yet somewhat creepy hall manager of Romanesque Hall in the Drifter's Camp.
334----
335* AdaptationNameChange: In Japanese, her name is "Coffin".
336* ADayInTheLimelight: Alongside her banner, she's the main featured Sinner in Chapter 9 and 10 of the Main Story.
337* DarkAndTroubledPast: Born in one of the most chaotic periods in Syndicate, she was taken in to a rescue center [[spoiler:being given the name Nona because she came there on the ninth day of that month]], only to awaken as a Sinner in a mass grave in Syndicate when she was just a teenager. To add, she was badly injured that day [[spoiler:which led to her benefactors to abandon her because they thought she was going to die]], but miraculously survived as she reawakened as a Sinner. Upon being diagnosed with information input disruption syndrome, a symptom associated with harsh long-term survival, it implies she has had to survive in Syndicate for a long time all by herself.
338* DeadpanSnarker:
339** She sometimes quips these, occasionally relating to the dead and living.
340** When she states that she uses vetiver fragrance not just for the scent but to hide a certain smell ([[spoiler:decay]]), and when the Chief quickly realizes it, she quips on how she sees they are the MBCC Chief for a reason.
341* ADealWithTheDevil: In stage 10-12, [[spoiler:towards the end of the fight against the Corpseborne, the Chief finds themselves on death's door, with Oak waiting to see if they wish to pass on or escape from death. [[TakeAThirdOption Instead, the Chief makes a deal with her]]: bring them back to life so that they can die a more meaningful death for Oak to enjoy hearing rather than the usual boredom of hearing out pain and regrets, effectively giving Oak the right to the Chief's life and death. The offer entices Oak greatly to comply with the deal]].
342* DefrostingIceQueen: Not like a typical ice queen, but she sounds and acts more mournful when coming into the Bureau, if not cold and indifferent in contrast to how she acted in Drifter Camp. A doctor diagnoses her with a disorder called "information input disruption syndrome" (implied to be a sensory disorder) which is one of the negative manifestations of being unable to adapt to normal conditions after leaving the abnormal state of long-term survival. It takes towards 100% compliance for Oak to return to her normal state that we saw her as, but showing more care, trust, and having a less obsession in the dead with the Chief.
343* GivenNameReveal: In her interrogations, [[spoiler:her real name is Nona as she was adopted by the priest on the ninth day of that month]].
344* GunsAkimbo: Wields a pair of bone-white ornate revolvers. The design of one revolver notably resembles an Exotic hand cannon called "Malfeasance" in ''VideoGame/Destiny2''.
345* HandyMan: Surprisingly, for a hall manager of a funeral home, she is skilled in crafting caskets instead of buying them. In one of her emotion checks, she makes a small box for a deceased parrot while detailing what wood to use. In a video with the [=DeadLover=] Radio hosts, she is shown to be proud of her creations when showcasing them to the hosts.
346* {{Irony}}: For a person belonging to the SLOTH Libram, she surprisingly has an impressive fighting spirit to satisfy her need of extracting information from the newly dead.
347* ISeeDeadPeople: Specifically, she can hear Maniacs (not normal humans who don't have mania) as her Sinner ability. According to her mutation assessment, the Bureau writes that she can "capture and decode the information that is carried in the electric field and magnetic field created by a newly-dead Maniac's brain and body. How much information she can attain is inversely proportionate to how long the person has been dead." This is how she already knows who the Chief is, and how Dudu and Drifter Camp got information on them.
348* MeaningfulName: The type of wood that is typically used for funeral caskets is oak, so as a hall manager of a funeral home who prepares an oak casket for the deceased, her name is fitting. [[spoiler:Her biological name, Nona, also came from the rescue center who took her in based on the ninth day of that month.]]
349* NaughtyNuns: She's beautiful but looking at her naked center, you could see a bit of her boobs and stomach, and how her outfit is so thin to the point you can see the outlines of her thighs definitely ups this trope.
350* NunTooHoly: She's an S-Class Sinner for several reasons. [[spoiler:She's an underground broker using Romanesque Hall as a front to hide her secret activities; she sells classified information to violent gangs using her Sinner ability; and you also wouldn't expect the serene Oak to commit brutal murders and do some illegal trafficking too.]]
351* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler:When the Chief proposes for her help by giving her a more interesting death, she is narrated by having greedy and hysterical eyes. She tells the Chief she'll accept while sounding thrilled and highly ecstatic in contrast to her usual tranquil self. It does go to show she's heard enough of pain and regrets and wants something more interesting to hear showing she is indeed a Sinner with an obsession with something: death.]]
352* OnlyFriend: Dudu. Julien states how Oak is actually quite taciturn with the Drifter's Camp, and it's possible the only way they get outside information from her is from Dudu. Their friendship is close enough that Oak is visibly more emotional in her presence and when Oak voluntarily turns herself to the MBCC, Dudu followed along to accompany her with her trying her best to get Oak used to the MBCC.
353* TookALevelInCynic: Back in her past, it was implied she was a somewhat idealistic person but after [[spoiler:the rescue center she lived at was attacked, and she was severely injured to the point her benefactors reluctantly left her behind since they thought she was going to die and there was no point in saving her. That moment and becoming a Sinner cemented her cynical views on the living world.]]

372\
373An energetic girl who wishes to make the greatest movie ever in order to win [=DisCars=] Awards.
374----
375* AnimalMotif: Lion. Not only does she have the lion head that she carries around to do her lion dance, but also how she basically acts like a lion cub.
376* BigBrotherIsWatching: It is more benevolent example than usual as the Chief has MBCC and more specifically Wynn to moniter how [=OwO=] has attracted the attention of Stella (the clone of the Stardust Apostle from Tide of Ashes).
377* ChildrenAreInnocent: [=OwO=] is just the most pure-hearted girl who idealistically believes that she can make a movie in ten days to win [=DisCars=] Awards through her efforts. This is in contrast to the Dean of [=DisCity=] Film Academy who believes that anyone can win [=DisCars=] Awards in ten days as long as resources are there. The Chief even noted how despite how both of them spoke the same phrase, [=OwO=]'s statement is more innocent and romantic fantasies of a child while Dean's statement just sounds unrealistic. [=OwO=] also believes that reuniting Stella with the rest of her family will solve the crisis rather than getting rid of Stella.
378* ExpressiveAccessory: Her lion head change according to her mood.
379* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: The fact that [=OwO=]'s "pet" and friend, Stella, is the Apostle of Ashes, is spelled out to the player right in the second vlog of the [=DisCars=] event. The real mystery comes from understanding why it is so interested in her, why is it stuck in a SleepModeSize form and why a bunch of talking ducks seem to want to "return it back to its family".
380* {{Foil}}: She serves as a foil to Dean of [=DisCity=] Film Academy and the rest of the Film industry. While the Dean and the rest of the Film industry are superficial people who only care about the success and fame of a film, [=OwO=] really cares about how the movie feels genuine. In fact, she kept contemplating about how one of her films called "Star Lion Fantasy" did not feel right because she feels that the ending feels fake.
381* MeaningfulName: Her name [=OwO=] sounds like Awoooo, an onomatopoeia of a lion's roar.
382* PintSizedPowerhouse: With her lion head, she can block two enemies, deal core damage and gives out buffs to herself and the Sinners around her — all this while being a small child.
383* WeakButSkilled: The Chief is confused by why Stella — the clone of the Stardust Apostle from Tide of Ashes — hangs out with [=OwO=], an ordinary child who dreams of making a [=DisCars=] awarding film in ten days. Only notable trait that [=OwO=] has is her lion-dancing skill. This is best demonstrated when while the Chief and other Sinners: Lynn, Love, Daisy, and Deren are able to defeat their enemies during battle, [=OwO=] pose no threat to enemies except cheerleading and distraction with her lion dance. This, however, become averted when [=OwO=] became StrongAndSkilled during final battle when her determination to reunite Stella with her family power up [=OwO=] to be an S-Rank Sinner.

402An agent of Paradeisos, a shadowy organization that is rumored to be the true power behind the Dis-City. Shalom is tasked with the eradication of the Garden as well as the BR-002 operation in the Drifter Camp.
403----
404* TheAce: The best Hush Paradeisos ever produced, as well as the one to last the longest. When it is evaluated, Paradeisos found her record to be near spotless.
405* AdaptationNameChange: In Chinese, her name is "Celine".
406* AffablyEvil: Unfailingly polite in all her interactions, whether they are with friends or foes.
407* AmbiguouslyGay: Her interactions with Rahu have a clear romantic undertone to their content and framing, and Shalom constantly refers to her as a "knight." [[spoiler: Of course, how much of these interactions are sincere is ambiguous in itself.]]
408* AttackDrone: The schorl diamond that constantly accompanies Shalom is her main method of attack, capable of firing lasers that can sear through flesh.
409* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Basically her job. She goes to a crisis, calculates the most ideal course of actions, and carries out the plan. When reviewing her entire history as their latest Hush, Paradeisos finds nearly all her actions and plans faultless.
410* BatmanGambit: A master of it.
411** Nearly pulls it off with Rahu, though things play out in her favour in the end anyway. [[spoiler:Shalom expects Rahu to make an attempt on her life given Rahu's quest to unravel the identity of the person who led to her squad's death by giving her incomplete information to trick her into thinking Shalom is responsible. However, Rahu's [[SmarterThanYouLook perceptiveness]] and [[UndyingLoyalty loyalty]] causes her to jump to Shalom's defense instead in the heat of the moment.]]
412** Coquelic plays into her hand multiple times, but especially [[spoiler:in the climax of Floral Unfurl, where her blind rage after Shalom's (fake) attack on the Garden causes her to miss many clues that would have revealed the deception and played into Shalom's hand, nearly allowing Shalom full control of the Garden if not for Christina's intervention.]]
413** She has an intimate understanding of Paradeisos after over a decade of working under them, and they behave exactly as she expects much of the time, such as [[spoiler:when she counts on Paradeisos to be paranoid of the slightest deviation in their tool from expected behavior that they would take their time analyzing the source of the error, allowing Shalom to delay the next Hush from going operational, essentially crippling a valuable asset of Paradeisos for a time.]]
414* BigBrotherIsWatching: [[spoiler:It's she who is most subject to this. Her own schorl scrutinizes and records her every action, and its brief absence is cause for alarm in Paradeisos, to the point where it contributes to the need to decommission and replace her.]]
415* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: Shalom presents herself as a demure, frail, and caring woman, but it quickly becomes apparent that she is cold and unfeeling, with every action she takes having an ulterior motive that benefits her own plans.]]
416* CantKillYouStillNeedYou:
417** [[spoiler:Despite it being her mission to eradicate the Garden, Shalom keeps the members of the group alive in order to goad Coquelic into confronting her with this exact same goal in mind: using her for her own purposes despite the kill order in effect.]]
418** [[spoiler:This is also the position she orchestrates for herself at the conclusion of the ''Flora Unfurl'' event. Despite being slated for decommissioning, and her "defective" nature having been revealed to the higher-ups, none of them feel confident in disposing of her until they can figure out what allowed her to go rogue in the first place and make sure it can never happen again. To that end, her decommissioning is postponed indefinitely, and she is returned to Paradeisos to be healed.]]
419* TheCharmer: She rather effortlessly charms people who are not otherwise feeling disinclined to trust her (and even many people who do). During her brief stay in the MBCC, Shalom manages to become rather popular with the staff and the Sinners there, to the point where it seems like many favour her over their own boss. Wynn herself was skeptical of her at first because she came from Paradeisos but she instantly came to like Shalom for her caring side and teaching her flower arrangement; it also did not take her long enough to make Hella like her as she praises her contributions to [=DisCity=], even though it took a long while for Chief to make Hella open up to them.
420* TheChessmaster: A chessmaster who stands out even in an organization of chessmasters. [[spoiler:She manages to manipulate every factor present in the ''Rain Burst'' event: Rahu, the Garden, and even Paradeisos themselves, setting up everything exactly how she wanted, and leaving her in the most advantageous position. Her performance in the very next event, ''Flora Unfurl'', is even more impressive, where Paradeisos, the Garden and the Underground all play into her hand, again, all the while she remains Paradeisos's best agent. Even after they start suspecting her and re-evaluate her records, Paradeisos still found it to be near spotless, and even their suspicion serves her agenda perfectly.]]
421* CoatCape: Wears both the heavy, black jacket in her normal art/sprite, and her inmate attire, like this.
422* ColdEquation: More or less her job. When Coquelic sends a car with a Mania bomb inside accompanied by multiple hostages and Shalom's own subordinate, even when told the bomb is disarmed, Shalom elects to blow up the car entirely (knowing the two people she want alive would not be killed in the explosion) before the car reaches a populated area rather than risk there being [[ILied other, unknown threats]] inside. [[spoiler:Interestingly, she quietly feels contempt for Paradeisos itself, believing they used this very trope to mask their own [[DirtyCoward cowardice]], and their own "cold calculation" really [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist does not hold up to scrutiny]].]]
423* TheCorruptor: Not just through giving out a BreakingSpeech or three, [[spoiler:this is also how her Sinner ability works: she is able to enter the mind of someone infected with Mania, manipulating and shaping said force to her whims. This also connects the targets brain to her own, giving her a loyal follower in the process]].
424* DealWithTheDevil: She is capable of putting someone under her control if they accept healing from her. The more she heals them, the stronger her control. [[spoiler:She makes the offer to Rahu and Coquelic; the former accepted, the latter did not, though Coquelic received some minor healing anyway and had a more minor mark imposed on her as a result.]]
425* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Her "annoyed" voice line is that of an experienced woman helping an inexperienced partner in... whatever it is she got annoyed by:
426-->"Okay, okay... This is a "virgin" territory for you, huh? Now, give me your hand. I'll teach you how to do it properly. Try to remember the steps, sweetheart."
427* DissonantSerenity: Shalom's expression hardly ever changes from the smile shown in her artwork, being almost ever-present in any art of her that shows up, from her sprites, to CG's, to her Exclusive Crime Brand. One could be forgiven thinking that she lacks in sprites compared to other Sinners, but she does have multiple different "smiling" sprites, each with miniscule differences. Rahu even compares her to a wax statue, and altogether it gives the feeling that something is off about her.
428** [[spoiler:Even as TheVoice she displays this. What is the first thing she says after trapping Taran in a cell in Chapter 12, giving him AnOfferYouCantRefuse, and forcing him to listen to his comrades being slaughtered? "What a nice young man."]]
429** [[spoiler:The reason for this revealed at the end of ''Flora Unfurl''. Her emotions and rationality have been separated, leaving only her rational side and allowing her to calculate the most optimal plans for Paradeisos without sentiments or morals getting in the way, all the while having not a shred of malice toward anyone who happens to be in her way.]]
430* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler:She appears in Chapters 11 and 12 as "X," the Paradeisos agent who makes contact with Taran and oversees the attempt on the Chief's life.]]
431* ExoticEyeDesigns: Her right eye is almost completely red, with a glowing triangle present over it.
432* {{Expy}}: A mature woman with purple hair, wearing a CoatCape amongst other classy articles, works for an organization which has great influence in the story's setting, [[TheChessmaster keeps nigh total domination of any situation]], is [[PerpetualSmiler always smiling]] regardless even in the middle of [[DissonantSerenity disaster]], has a relationship with the protagonist before they lost their memory and yet remains devoted to them now. [[VideoGame/HonkaiStarRail Kafka of the Stellaron Hunters]] would get along with Shalom.
433* {{Foil}}: To the Chief.
434** Both are members of government organizations that deal with Mania presence, [[spoiler: but while the Chief attempts to diffuse any possible violent situation, always preferring to talk and work things out, Shalom's methods are unconcerned with loss or collateral damage.]]
435** The Chief views their Sinners as humans, and is receptive to their needs, wants, and trauma, doing their best to help them out and make their stay in the MBCC as good as it can be, given the circumstances. Shalom sees everyone, including herself, as "tools" to be used to their fullest extent before being tossed aside.
436** [[spoiler:Their powers are fundamentally similar (with Shalom's Mark being an artificial copy of the Shackles), allowing them to connect to individuals with Mania, but while the Chief uses it to calm and monitor their Sinners, only taking control when necessary but otherwise allowing them to live how they see fit, Shalom uses her ability to exert her will fully onto those she touches, turning them into subservient "tools" for her own benefit.]]
437* GameplayAndStorySegregation: There are three discrepancies in how Shalom works in the game and story.
438** It is noted in the story that Shalom is capable of putting someone under her control if they get healing from her, but Shalom is not able to heal anyone in the game, let alone gain control over someone. Also, she "attacks" by using a laser beam that shoots straight from Schorl, but an attack from Shalom's Schorl hits up to 3 enemies with refraction in the game.
439** It is noted during Shalom's Interrogation that enhancement materials designed for Sinners don't really work on her, but they work fine in the game. Shalom does, however, mention that if she shares enhancement materials with Schorl, it can optimize its combat efficiency through analysis, thereby better safeguarding everyone. So it could be that enhancement materials get "consumed" by Schorl rather than Shalom the Sinner herself.
440* HealingFactor: She displays the ability to heal her own wounds through application of her ability, but the process leaves her tired and weakened depending on the severity of the injuries.
441* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler: The seventh individual to hold the position of Hush, as well as the longest to do so.]]
442* MeaningfulName: Her name ''Shalom'' means ''peace'' in Hebrew. It could also be used idiomatically to mean ''hello''. Her name in the Chinese server "Celine" is a French female first name of Latin origin, coming from Caelīna, the feminine form of the Roman cognomen Caelīnus, meaning ''heavenly''.
443* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Is known as "The Hush of Paradeisos".
444* NotAfraidToDie: Despite the nature of her work, and finding herself in numerous dangerous situations, Shalom never once shows signs of indecision or fear regarding her inevitable end. It only serves to make her more unsettling.
445* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: One of the only times she drops her DissonantSerenity smile in a normal situation with people is when she sees Hecate the first time, looking at her with a mix-of-emotions expression. It's unknown to what her relationship with Hecate (as the latter doesn't know her) is for her to do that, but she does protect Hecate, gaining a serious injury in the process. [[spoiler:It's implied Shalom feels familiar to Hecate and that they both likely came from the same research lab. It's also implied Hecate was supposed to be Shalom's replacement but was seen as a likely defective and so was sent to the MBCC.]]
446* PerpetualSmiler: Always, inducing DissonantSerenity for anyone looking.
447* PetTheDog:
448** [[spoiler:What initially looked like a callous KickTheDog moment turns out to be a kind of mercy: Shalom abandoning Christina to the MBCC once the latter starts questioning her. It is later revealed that she was in the process of applying her shackle, which would have easily brainwashed Christina, but seemingly changed her mind for no reason other than to let Chris be free of control. Later, it is also revealed that Christina was never fully under her control in the first place.]]
449** During her Interrogation, Shalom sustains a serious injury to protect Hecate for as yet undisclosed reason.
450* PowerAtAPrice: It is eventually revealed that the reason the Hush is able to predict, plan for, and oversee so many events and operations is because [[spoiler:they are tasked with reading the movement and thoughts of Mania itself, as well as combing it for anything that Paradeisos can use to its advantage. Of course, interacting directly with the will of Mania exposes one to massive amounts of corruption and mental pollution, meaning that every person who takes the mantle of Hush is immediately signing their own death warrant]].
451* RogueAgent: [[spoiler:Despite her spotless record, when she is finally unobserved by Paradeisos, she reveals she has planted a seed that would hurt her own organization, with her goal being to break free from the struggle between Paradeisos and the Underground, banking it on [[WildCard the Chief]] instead.]]
452* ShipTease: Of all the people she has interacted with, she acts the most intimate with the Chief.
453** A great number of her voice lines are very flirty, shown best with the Special Conversation lines with the first showing frank concern for their safety, counting heartbeats in the second, and praising the Chief's uniqueness and [[PleaseDontLeaveMe wishing to stay together]] in the third. Her "City Never Sleeps" skin likewise has her make herself clear that the Chief is the only thing interesting about the party they're in.
454--->'''Full Compliance line:''' Tell me about the books you like, and music, movies, places, people... Yes, I want to know more about you, learn more about your world. I want to have the image of you burned into my mind before your fate catches up with you, before you meet your solitary end.
455** Her official CN birthday post has her talk about spending an ordinary day with the Chief--no work, no heavy topics, just two people spending a day like the average citizen.
456* TheUnfettered: Shalom's job is to complete the task given to her in a manner that is least costly, without caring about pesky things like collateral or individual lives.
457* UnstoppableRage: When she was a child, [[spoiler:she always hurt the researchers who tried to go near her to the point they thought about taking her out instead of becoming the next Hush; the surgery she received removed her emotions and led to her being the woman we know now. These rebellious emotions took the form of [[MeaningfulName Rebel]], a monstrous, raging being that explores Mania itself]].
458* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Even taking the most favourable interpretation of her goals, with the assumption that she is secretly working against both Paradeisos and the Underground for the Chief's benefit instead, Shalom has still done a lot of evils, either by Paradeisos's orders, to maintain her cover or in pursuit of nobler goals.]]
459* WhatIsThisFeeling: [[spoiler:Meeting the Chief before they lost their memories elicited emotion in her for the first time, which eventually cascades into Shalom regaining more and more of the emotions Paradeisos separated from her. This culminates in Shalom's newfound contempt for Paradeisos, resulting in her carrying out a labyrinthine scheme to subvert Paradeisos's wishes and return the current [[PlayerCharacter Chief's]] freedom and power to them.]]
460* WoundedGazelleGambit: [[spoiler: This is how she was supposed to draw out the Garden, serving as the bait in the trap. It is made clear by both her and the Paradeisos liaison that her safety is a non-factor.]]
461* XanatosSpeedChess: Manages to use every new bit of information, and new factor, that appears during the Rain Burst event to stack the outcome in her favor.
462* YourDaysAreNumbered: [[spoiler:Due to the true nature of the Hush's work, she will eventually succumb to complete corruption and become unstable. It is noted that she would be executed before that becomes a possibility, and her replacement is apparently already determined by the time of the ''Rain Burst'' event.]]
