—Margaretha Zelle (Deduction Star 2020) |
Appearance
Margaretha is a slender doll with pale skin, a short, curled, black bob, thin black eyebrows, and large, black button eyes cross-stitched with black thread. Faint, black streaks of mascara run down her cheeks, and she wears pink lipstick.
She wears a coral pink leotard with delicate golden trimming and dangling beads over a striped tan-and-brown undershirt, matching shorts, and matching wristguards. She also wears laced-up, pink satin slippers with gold trimming. A coral pink satin cap with intricate gold embellishments covers her head. A tan purse with a leather strap is slung over her right shoulder, encrusted with a blue crystal, in which she holds multiple wooden music boxes with golden dispensers. Tears are visible in her left forearm and right leg, showing cotton stuffing.
Gameplay
The Female Dancer is a contain/assist-type Survivor who carries up to three Music Boxes. She can change the tune of the Music Box to either make characters' actions slower or faster. The Slow Music Box impedes the Hunter's movements and interactions slower, while the Fast Music Box makes her teammates' movements and interactions faster. While within the music box's range, she can perform up to 2 pirouettes to gain distance. She also gets a speed boost after falling from a height.

Concept / Design Notes[4]
Design Notes
At the end of the 19th century, almost all women in the circus made a living by "showing their bodies". For example, outstanding women who served as models and performers at the same time were paid very high. If the ideal woman in the Victorian period was the "good girl", then the woman who was often in public places for consumption was representative of the "marginalised people". But in any case, the profession of "dancing girl" determines that she must have bare parts on her body. A classic lace or silk hat with delicate curly hair is fashionable and convenient for activities.

Trivia
- She is inspired by Mata Hari (formerly Margaretha Geertruida Zelle), an exotic dancer and convicted spy from the 19th and 20th centuries.
- She and her love triangle are also based on the Spanish film The Last Circus.
- Her appearance is based on American actress Lina Basquette, as shown in references on her design sheet.
- Though Margaretha has her own exclusive item, she can pick up a Tool from a chest if all her music boxes are placed down. She cannot, however, switch between her Music Boxes and another Tool freely.
- Margaretha will dance if a player stays idle in the presence of a music box.
- In the English version of Margaretha's deductions, her real name (Natasha) was mistranslated as "Fiona", which made players believe the person in her deductions was Fiona Gilman. The "Fiona" is actually Natasha.
- Just like how Natasha was mistranslated to "Fiona", Uncle Eugene was mistranslated as "Joakim."
- She is nicknamed as "Margie" by the community.
- She was originally a character planned to debut during the beta but was scrapped as seen in one beta testing illustration and in game files. Eventually, she was released in Season 2 after the official release of this game.
