Physical[]

Vera has fair skin, brown curls pinned back and tied into a high ponytail with a large, bright blue bow, downward slanting brows, gleaming, blue button eyes with metallic gold rims and cross-stitched with gold thread, and a small beauty mark on her left cheek. She also wears pale red eyeliner and matching lipstick.

Outfit[]

Vera wears a pale pink corset leotard adorned with a ribbon bustline of blue leaves and a large rose, with matching, translucent ruffles for the sleeves and a plunging back, paired with a knee-length pleated skirt of two layers. The inner layer is a shorter pink skirt with frilly hems and studded with pearls, while the outer layer is longer, a weaving of pale pink, translucent taffeta bearing no embellishments. The waistline is decorated with two small blue ribbon roses at the front, and a larger, matching bow at the back. Her right wrist is also encircled with a blue ribbon. She wears long, white stockings and laced-up, ruby red ballet flats, and a blue choker with a small, matching rose pendant is around her throat.

Euphoria[]

The Euphoria is now a large glass perfume bottle fading from pale beige to pink with a rounded, bevel cut, a gold base, a matching nozzle, and a large bulb in a shade of pale pink. A small blue bow adorns the bottle.

Special Effects[]

She emits small, glowing blue butterflies, and both the rose on her bustline as well as the bow on her head shimmer and gleam the same shade of blue.

Dance without stopping, burning the fire of life. It spins gracefully and falls into a fateful curse. Under the elegant dance, it's a never-ending curse. Who can give her salvation and make her stop dancing?

Live to dance until the end of her life
Love or art, which one to choose? Faced with such torture, the ballerina who shone for a while on the stage took off her red shoes and chose the former. However, because she could not escape the temptation of dancing, she put on the red shoes again and returned to the stage. When irreconcilable conflicts broke out, she thought of the girl in the fairy tale who danced to the end of her life wearing red shoes, and made the final choice. But at this time, misfortune struck, and she, wearing red dancing shoes, also reached the end of her life.

When the noble and elegant dance music sounded in the Oletus Manor, she once again danced the ballet that made her so acclaimed. This time, will she take steps to find the love she longs for, or will she fall into a spell that will make her eternal?

Dancing gracefully, the curse will never end
For perfumer The Red Shoes, dancing is living. Even if she forgets who she is, she will never forget dancing. In the poster released by "Identity V", she is wearing a dance costume and dancing gracefully, but her expression is only confused. People can't help but wonder, is it herself who is dancing, or is it the red shoes on her feet? In and out of the play, the curse of the red shoes will not fade away until everything comes to an end.

In the character showroom interface released by "Identity V", the perfumer The Red Shoes entered the room lightly, showing off her dancing talent in a pink and white dress. The pendulum swings naturally, and the red dancing shoes under the feet are particularly conspicuous. There are blue butterflies flying beside her, and there is a pink light accompanying her when she spins, as if it is dancing with her.

During the fierce chase, perfumer The Red Shoes still behaved amazingly. She clapped, danced, and spun from time to time, treating the chasing arena as a stage. In front of such a wonderful dance, I believe even the hunter could not bear to interrupt.

The fragrance of forgetfulness, true love or fate?
Two equally beautiful women were both in crisis because they were too obsessed with their own pursuits. In order to create a pure fragrance and free themselves from the vulgar crowd, the perfumer came to the formula of "The Fragrance of Forgetting Worry". The place of origin was Oletus Manor; The Red Shoes returned to the stage because of the powerful temptation of red dancing shoes, and ultimately paid the price with her life. Is it the love of life that makes her crazy and addicted, or is it an inescapable fate?

When elegant dance meets pure fragrance, can they create a perfect masterpiece that will amaze everyone?! Follow her and dance in the manor!

This is a girl who loves to dance.

When you ask her why she wants to dance

Her response: "Like why you're alive."

Dancing is fate and an unbreakable curse

She seems to have forgotten who she is

But it seems like there is an oracle

She wants, she wants to keep dancing

Perfumer — The Red Shoes
On and off the show, the curse of the red shoes will never go away.

  1. Girl's graceful figure
    It's an emotional dance
    Or is it a difficult spell to live forever?
  2. The perfume bottle left on the ground seems to be trying to bring back the girl's memory, but it doesn't help.
  3. The never-ending red dance shoes
    It is the punishment for vanity and blasphemy.

Being lost in a fictional world is always intoxicating

It's time to end

She finally took off the "cursed" red dancing shoes

"What beautiful dancing shoes!"

"You have to dance, keep dancing!"

Fictional worlds are always fascinating

The one that keeps beating

Is it her own obsession?

Or the curse of red dancing shoes?

Perfumer — The Red Shoes
Until the end, she finally took off the "cursed" pair of red dancing shoes.
