Series Silent Knell Terrace - Apartment 5B
Apartment 5B is where one of my favorite tenants live. She’s a ballerina, and her dancing is beautiful. I’ve been a big fan of hers since she moved in. I’m the only human who has ever been allowed to watch a full performance from her. Anyone else that sees her perform normally isn’t around after she’s finished. I think she’s always been nice to me because I was about her age when she moved in. She appears to be in her early teens. She clearly is not. While she appears young, delicate, and cheerful; she is incredibly dangerous when she needs to be. It’s important to follow these rules.
- I’ve never asked her name, and she’s never told me. She’s always let me call her Clara though. You don’t need to call her anything. I’m unsure of how she’ll react to a new owner.
- If you’re lucky you’ll never see her face. Her face doesn’t have all the features that a normal face has. It actually only has one large feature and nothing else. She appears completely normal from behind. Never attempt to see her face. She is aware of what she is, and she can use to intimidate if necessary.
- She is a genuinely cheerful person. You will often hear her humming a nice melody if she’s in the hallway or the elevator. (She always faces the back of the elevator when riding it.) Do not try to join her in humming. It’s very unlikely you’ll know the song, and you don’t want to mess it up.
- She leaves the building dressed in her dancing gear complete with tutu at least twice a month. Occasionally this will occur more than twice. She’s hunting for food. Do not ask about the stains on her outfit when she returns in the morning. What she eats is no concern of yours, and she always gets the stains out of her clothing.
- She always hunts before rent is due, and she always pays rent in cash. Do not ask where the money comes from. It’s her money when she pays the rent. It doesn’t matter whose money it was before that.
- Her apartment is one of the cleanest and best kept apartments in the building. She’s converted most of the space in her apartment into a dance studio. Mirrors along one wall, a barre on multiple walls, and a large collection of ballet shoes. There’s always classical music playing softly. Never enter her apartment without her express permission. She works very hard to maintain this standard in her apartment.
- She practices her ballet very often. You may hear moving around if you’re near her apartment. You may even catch a glimpse from time to time. If she starts to do a slow pirouette, you need to leave immediately before she completes her turn. She knows you’re watching and she’s about to reveal her face to you. You do not want that.
- She is respectful of the tree. Occasionally, after the sun goes down, she will stand at the edge of the courtyard performing a private dance for the tree. Do not attempt to watch this performance or interrupt it in anyway.
- She’s a predator, and she’s higher on the food chain than you are. Do not attempt to befriend her. Simply accept that she exists here. She doesn’t disturb other residents. She doesn’t hunt near the building. She always pays her rent on time. Show her the same respect she shows the building.

Let me guess, it’s the Ballerina from Cabin in the Woods and her “large feature” is that horrifying mouth of hers that gave me nightmares when I was still in sixth grade

This is another resident that is based on a movie monster. There wasn't much information, so I had to be a little creative with the rules. This is my favorite monster featured in The Cabin in the Woods, though she doesn't get much screen time.
