1212 Hollowone has an unexplained parapsychological trait: upon entering Varsapura, her appearance shifts to match each viewer's preferences. This is recognized within the story as an anomaly, not a game mechanic. The exact significance of this trait is likely tied to her nature as a Hollowone and her connection to the collective unconscious.

2424 In the Combat System, Hollowone uses normal attacks (light and heavy umbrella combos), one skill with a cooldown, and one ultimate ability. She also has a stun ability usable during stealth to briefly incapacitate enemies if detected. Her umbrella-based moveset distinguishes her from standard sword or gun characters.

2626 Parapsychological Appearance Shift
2727  
2828 Official in-universe framing notes a specific parapsychological trait of the protagonist: upon entering Varsapura, her appearance shifts to match each viewer's preferences. The origin of this effect is officially described as unknown. In gameplay terms this is the in-universe justification for character customization. The trait is framed within the SEAL Internal Directive 047-EX rather than as a standard player-facing menu option.
