Miss Dress

Miss Dress is a Lingering Spirit who cared for Ying Tong, opposed Ying Chen after learning the truth, and later joined the House of Horrors.

Biography

Narrative role

Within Ying Tong's memories, Miss Dress appears as one of several adults who offered the blind child moments of care despite Ying Chen's control. Her direct manner and temper could make her seem severe, but concern for Ying Tong led her to investigate what was happening around him. Once she understood the danger, she chose to help the child rather than preserve her own safety. (Chapters 1058–1064)

Ying Chen kills Miss Dress and traps her spirit inside one of the Ghost Fetus's mud statuettes. During the confrontation, she and the other victims help Ying Tong and Chen Ge resist him. Chen later frees her from the statuette and takes her into the comic, after which the black phone identifies her as a Lingering Spirit and she becomes a House of Horrors employee. (Chapters 1065–1067, 1114–1134)

Appearance and personality

Miss Dress wears a long dress embroidered with many flowers. She is straightforward, open-minded, sunny, and notably quick-tempered; beneath that sharp exterior, her decision to protect Ying Tong shows courage and genuine care for a vulnerable child. (Chapters 1058, 1067)

Skills and supernatural abilities

As a Lingering Spirit, Miss Dress can manifest, assist other ghosts, and participate in the House's supernatural scenarios. Her actions against Ying Chen show resolve and coordination, but no higher spectral rank or specialized power is established. (Chapters 1065–1067, 1114–1134)

Relationships

Ying Tong is the child Miss Dress cared for and tried to protect. Mr. Wood and Miss Red are fellow victims and later House employees, while Chen Ge frees her spirit and offers the group a place in his attraction. Ying Chen is her murderer and principal enemy. (Chapters 1058–1067)

Items

The Ghost Fetus's mud statuette imprisoned Miss Dress until Chen Ge broke its hold. Her flower-embroidered dress is her defining visual feature, but it is not established as a separate supernatural artifact. (Chapters 1058, 1067)
