"Beyond the silk and fine powder lies a hollow shadow. This entity meticulously paints a beautiful facade on human skin to walk among the mortals, searching for the warmth of a heart it can never possess."
Primary Armament
The Bone-Inlaid Brush
Carved from the femur of a cursed spirit. It allows the entity to "paint" physical reality onto spectral mist.
Ability Matrix
Dermal Mimicry
Active / Infiltration
Meticulously replicates the texture, warmth, and scent of a specific human target.
Heart Extraction
Active / Execution
A swift, spectral strike that bypasses the ribcage to remove the target's primary organ without immediate death.
Sanguine Breath
Passive / Maintenance
The stolen skin requires a constant supply of fresh human essence. Without it, the "paint" cracks, revealing the greenish-black rot underneath.

Cultural Taboos & Guidance
1. The Mirror Test: BEA-013 can fool the eye but not the reflection. Always observe suspected entities through a silver-backed mirror; the "green-faced true form" will manifest in the glass.
2. The Fragrance of Rot: If a person of supreme beauty constantly exudes a faint metallic smell of iron or withered lilies, they may be a Manifestation.
3. Threshold Warning: Never invite a "stranger in the mist" into your private study or bedroom; once the threshold is crossed via invitation, the Bureau's standard protection talismans lose 70% efficiency.
