->Throughout her rise to the top of the echelons of power, [[LadyOfWar Malys]] smiled not once, her face ever a mask of self-assurance and contempt for the Dark Eldar that once more clawed and scraped for favour. When she is sure no-one is around, however, Malys will gaze long into her own reflection, [[NotSoStoic grinning]], then giggling, the bursting into [[EvilLaugh terrifying seizures of laughter]] that seem for all the world [[VoiceOfTheLegion to come from two throats at once]].

For Annette, the worst possible fate is to be seen, known, perceived in all her imperfections.

->[[DiabolicalMastermind The Opium Khan]] surveys his situation, and seems about to speak. Then he looks at Edie, and for the first time she sees the truth of him. The [[CardCarryingVillain hectoring matinee villain]] fades away, the cheery roguish smile vanishes, and in its place is [[TheSocioath the thing]] which locked a family in a room and incinerated them. It's like watching a snake rise from the corpse of a wolf. Another explosion rattles the room, closer this time.

->Tough girl, her mental jester mocked her. Everybody thinks you're such a tough girl.\\
But [[ComicBook/PowerGirl she]] had to be tough. Finding out that so many years of her life were a pre-programmed lie, coming to a strange world, finding only one man of Krypton and then losing him, turning from innocence into grim experience on a planet she never made... she had to be tough, or break. She had to wall the little girl off, most of the time, and put on the casing of the big, tough, capable bitch.

-> An image formed in front of her, born of [[{{Mana}} Stormlight]], created by instinct. She hadn't needed to draw this image first, for she knew it too well.\\
The image was of herself. Shallan, as she ''should'' be. Curled in a huddle on the bed, unable to weep for she had long since run out of tears. This girl... not a woman, a girl... flinched whenever spoken to. She expected everyone to shout at her. She could not laugh, for laughter had been squeezed from her by a childhood of darkness and pain.\\
That was the real Shallan. She knew it as surely as she knew her own name. The person she had become instead was a lie, one she had fabricated in the name of survival.

->Everybody you know is nothing more than a collection of habits, idiosyncrasies and speech affectations for you to play with. [[MasterActor You know which personality or mannerism best amuses others]], but you don't have a developed personality of your own. You entertain and harangue other people, because you're afraid your friends might realize how dull you actually are. You haven't [[ShapeshifterDefaultForm "looked" like yourself]] this last month: [[VoluntaryShapeshifting you've always been somebody else]], pretending at an existence not your own, [[AttentionWhore playing for the appreciation of others]].

Instead, what rises and falls is her current level of composure; her current ability to hide her true nature. As Yandere-chan performs acts of cruelty, her composure will slip, and her true face will begin to show.
