— The girl after she threw the music box at a wall. |
The Humpback Girl (unofficial name) is one of the characters seen in the 2017 Little Nightmares comic series.
Appearance
Before the mirror distorted her, the Humpback Girl was short. She wore tan-colored pants, a dark orange long-sleeved shirt, a dark orange hijab, and a pair of shoes.
After one of the mirrors in the abandoned house distorted her, the girl became very stooped and her arms became large. Unlike many children, her blue eyes are not hidden by shadow or hair, but the rest of the face is completely hidden.
Personality
At first it seems that the Humpback Girl is rather shy and timid. However, it was later shown that she was not afraid for herself, but for others. When her friends were in danger, the girl expressed a great deal of courage to not run away, instead choosing to saved them, but the result of this was that under the influence of the mirrors of the House, she was deformed. Since then, she suffered from catoptrophobia.
Little Nightmares (2017 comic series)
The Humpback Girl first appeared in the first comic but did not have any lines of dialogue. Six finds her along with the Bandaged Kid, the the Boy in Green, the Refugee Boy and the Long-Haired Girl sitting around a fire for warmth. She evades being swallowed by a leech while the Boy in Green was interrogating Six.
In the second comic, the Humpback Girl shatters a music box brought by Six, much to the other children's shock. She reveals to the other children her past, that she and some friends entered an abandoned house filled with mirrors that could grant wishes to those who stared into them. The mirrors were in fact a trap used by the Mirror Monster to lure children within the reach of its tentacles and trap them within the mirror itself. In order to evade capture, the Humpback Girl used herself as bait to lure out the monster. When it appeared, one of the other children that wished himself taller quickly shattered the mirror. This presumably killed the monster but mysteriously left the girl horribly disfigured after staring at her own reflection through the shattered mirror pieces on the floor. After covering her with a cloak, the other two children left the Humpback Girl behind promising to return with help, but never did. She was then found by the Ferryman, who took her to the Maw.
Trivia
- This is the first child whose face is hidden, but their eyes are visible. The other is the Bandaged Kid.
- It is stated by her friend in the second issue of the comic how she had become fearful of the wind. It is unknown if this has any connection to the North Wind.
- Despite her having lost faith in the friends who promised to return for her, the Humpback Girl is never seen making effort to leave the building she had been waiting in, leaving the suspicion that the girl might not have known what truly led her friends to not return for her, only that she now believed they had grown too afraid to ever come back for her.
