Six.

Maw

The Womb appears every year. Always at the same time, but never in the same place, it slinks and crawls and sinks its claws deep beneath the glittering waters. And there it sits in vast silence. Waiting. Technically, the Womb is a ship and functions like a metal ocean liner. But it is built vertically, like a skyscraper, reaching heights of several hundred meters. Due to this design, it floats like an iceberg, with almost the entire vessel lying underwater, and only the upper part is constantly above the surface, looking like a small island with a smokestack and a door leading inside. However, when invited and not so invited guests need to come on board, the Womb partially rises to the surface, revealing its upper levels, resembling a huge turtle shell with an arched entrance. In addition to being partially submersible, the Womb can also anchor itself in water and remain static for an indefinite period of time. Like any ship, the Maw tends to roll in the waves, gently but hard enough to cause objects inside the vessel to move around the rooms. There are also watertight doors on the lower levels to prevent the compartments from flooding if they are breached. The underwater portion of the vessel also has portholes that allow the inhabitants to see out to the ocean. The Maw is powered by steam, with at least one large coal-fired engine located on the lower levels, driving the ship's propellers. However, it has been suggested that the Maw is not propelled by propellers, but by smoke escaping from numerous nozzles in the lower portion of the ship. Other fumes, such as those from the stoves in the Kitchen, that are not used to propel the ship exit the Maw through a single chimney located on top of the vessel, passing through its interior and likely heating it.

Maw

Following the Maw are giant fishing nets used to catch large aquatic creatures, which can be seen in the Kitchen. The vessel also contains electrical generators to power lights such as bulbs and various machinery found throughout the structure. Despite how the Maw is marketed, its interior furnishings are hardly consistent with its status as an upper-class restaurant. While the guest and living quarters appear to be more than adequate, and at times luxurious, a walk down reveals that the ship is far from in the best condition. For example, the Kitchen is a dirty, unkempt place, and the lower levels are abandoned and partially flooded, presumably for a long time. Given that the water level remains the same, it can be assumed that the Deeps may be used as a ballast tank, as well as containing air pockets.

Locations

1. Prison 2. The Lair 3. Kitchen 4. Guest area 5. Residence/Mistress's Quarters 6. Depths 7. Shelter

Jail

The Prison is the very first location in the game. The name of this place speaks for itself - this is the place where the inhabitants of the Maw keep children against their will. Despite the fact that the Prison has bedrooms, a playroom and a dining room for them, strict measures against prisoner escape are almost everywhere: the area where the children sleep is guarded by mechanical Evil Eyes that can turn any living creature into stone; the exits from the playroom are blocked by bars that let electricity through; the dining room looks like an animal cage because of the bars.

The Lair

The Lair is the second location Six visits in the Maw. It is a dark and strangely laid out place, and is the home of the Janitor. Here, he brings children and locks them in cages, most likely to send them to the Kitchen later. In addition to the Janitor's apartment and his work area, there is also an old library and several large storage rooms containing long-forgotten items of unknown origin. There is also a huge shoe warehouse here, where the Shoe Monster lives.

Kitchen

The Kitchen is the third location Six enters in Little Nightmares. It looks unkempt, untidy, multi-level, and is inhabited by the Twin Chefs, who prepare food for the guests. In addition to the kitchen itself, there is a chef's apartment, consisting of a bedroom, hallway, and toilet, a dishwasher, several freezers and pantries where food is stored, a waste disposal room, and a room with a giant meat grinder for making sausages.

Guest area

The Guest Area is the fourth location in Little Nightmares. After leaving the Kitchen, Six watches from a safe distance as the Guests arrive on the Womb from an unknown vessel, and at some point will follow them to the Guest Area, which is decorated in the style of Japanese restaurants and baths. This area is as multi-level as the other levels of the Womb, and consists, in addition to dining rooms, of small rooms in which the Guests rest. In this place, food is placed everywhere especially for the new arrivals, consisting mainly of meat. The Guests will become so aggressive from the food that most of them will try to eat Six. Some of them will chase the protagonist, dragging their bodies along the floor, intending to satisfy their hunger.

Chambers/ Residence of the Mistress

The Mistress's Chambers is the fifth and final location in Little Nightmares. Compared to other places in the Maw, this location is rather elegantly furnished: its walls are covered with purple wallpaper and decorated with paintings, and the rooms have carved furniture upholstered in velvet. However, another part of the location, hidden from prying eyes, looks abandoned long ago. Six will need to get a key to one of the doors, after which, running away from the Mistress, she will accidentally end up in an abandoned dressing room filled with mannequins and broken mirrors. At the very end, Six finds a whole mirror, with which she defeats the Mistress by reflecting glare on her. The Residence is the second name of the Mistress's Chambers and the third chapter in the Secrets of the Maw DLC. Unlike the Sixth, the Runaway, the protagonist of this story, visits a more expanded part of this location, including the library, skillfully solving its riddles, fighting the Shadow Children and learning the secret of the Mistress.

Depths

The Depths is the first location in the Secrets of the Maw DLC. It is the flooded lower part of the ship, used as a sewer and possibly as a ballast tank for the ship. Granny lives in this place. The Fugitive must avoid this monster swimming in the water for the entire level.

Shelter

The Vault is the second location in the DLC. This place is an engine room, which contains a furnace that is used to move the Maw, and a large amount of coal. In order to continue his journey, the Runaway must gather Nomes in this location and use them to activate the coal elevator, lighting this furnace. Also, based on the name, the Nomes' dwelling is located here. After lighting the furnace, the Runaway goes through the room where it is located and climbs onto the roof of the elevator, riding it to the Mistress's Chambers.

Six/Sixth

Six is hungry. She is all alone in the dark and dangerous depths of the Womb. Any other child would cower in fear, but Six is different. She is smart, strong-willed, and wearing a nice yellow raincoat. The Womb has never been her home. Waking up in a world she doesn't recognize, Six must learn to trust someone else if she's to survive. She's already seen more than the average child, but then... Six is no ordinary child. Little is known about Six's past prior to the events of the game, but her description states that she "belongs elsewhere". It is implied that she lived elsewhere before being sent to the Maw, which is later confirmed by the fact that she, like the other children who ended up in the Void, once lived in another world.[3] In Very Little Nightmares, it is revealed that before the Maw and the Pale City, Six was a prisoner in the Nest, but escaped. As shown in a post-credits scene, she finds a raft on which she sails off-screen. In Little Nightmares II, which takes place before the events of the first game, Six is shown to find her signature raincoat in the Pale City. A secret ending hints that the events of Six's past shown in the first comic series most likely took place there, some time after the events of the second. Some time after her walk through the city in the first comic series, Six merged with the crowd of Guests, where she was found by the Carrier and taken to the Maw against her will.

Appearance

Appearance Like the other children, Six is thin and very short. She has shoulder-length black hair that partially obscures her Asian-featured face and gray-brown eyes. She wears a bright yellow raincoat with a triangular hood and white shorts. She does not wear any shoes, so Six runs around barefoot. From the very beginning of the game, Six carries a small lighter with her, allowing her to illuminate the darkest corners of the Maw. In Very Little Nightmares, Six wears a clean white tank top and panties, and her hair appears cleaner and straighter. In Little Nightmares II, before finding the raincoat, Six wears a dirty gray cardigan with four buttons over a tank top and panties. Her head is uncovered, revealing shaggy black hair. However, her eyes, like in the first game, can only be seen up close, although they are more visible. At the end of the same game, Six becomes temporarily severely distorted after being kidnapped by the Thin Man. She grows in size, her body and limbs become long and twisted, somewhat resembling those of the Watchman, and her face is completely hidden by long, thick hair.

Personality Six

Like other characters in the Little Nightmares universe, Six does not speak, but her personality is revealed in her actions. Despite her innocent appearance, Six often displays an antihero character. She can be friendly with Nomes, but only at the will of the player. In reality, the heroine is quite cold-blooded, changeable and wild, and survives, often acting on her instincts. The girl suffers from sudden attacks of severe hunger. At such moments, she becomes very ill, she writhes, bends in half, becoming helpless and very vulnerable. Six thinks only about how to satisfy this hunger, and therefore greedily pounces on any food she finds. Over time, it becomes clear that the food that really interests her is very peculiar. Towards the end of the game, a friendly Nome offers a sausage to the starving Six, but instead she attacks the Nome himself and bites his throat. She probably understands that the sausages in the Maw are clearly not made from animal meat (which is probably why she didn't eat them in the Kitchen), but her behavior rather shows a desire for "fresher" and "live" food.

Personality Six

Six is clearly cynical and distrustful of the other children who are also trying to survive, as she has rarely tried to help them or, in Mono's case, rejected any help, showing that she is only doing her best to survive in this cruel world on her own. It is only when she finds herself in a difficult situation that Six realizes that she cannot do it alone, so she joins forces with Mono and, temporarily, with the Girl in the Yellow Raincoat. In Very Little Nightmares, it was shown that Six is not completely indifferent to the need for help from the other children, as she attempted to save the protagonist from the Pretender who was chasing her after the latter saved Six from death, despite the fact that they had previously only interacted with each other to survive themselves. However, this did not help the Girl, as the owner of the Nest continued to chase her, eventually falling off a cliff and drowning in the ocean with her. Perhaps the reason for Six's indifference to other children is the fact that she is unable to physically help them, although at the same time, Six never once in the franchise shows any visible distress over the loss of one or another comrade. She never once remembers Mono, or the Girl in the Yellow Raincoat, or even the children who died in front of her eyes, and the girl is ready to kill anyone who threatens her or her allies without the slightest hesitation. So, for example, she throws a huge rock on the Pretender or helps Mono point a gun at the Hunter. Probably, all this is explained by the fact that Six has already gotten used to this world, and death has become a common thing for her. However, even being so cynical and cold-blooded, the girl still retains the remnants of humanity: in a series of paper comics, in the company of children around a campfire, Six smiles, listens to their stories and even shows them a music box she liked.

Personality Six

The case of Mono is even more interesting: despite her initial refusal to help, Six still teams up with him. The adventures they had as children brought them together, and after Mono saved Six from bullies, they began to trust each other. The heroine seemed to genuinely care for and sympathize with Mono, as she constantly pulled him out of the televisions the boy used to tune in, and did not run away from him in mortal danger (such as in the case of Hunter and Teacher), helping the boy escape, and catching his hand on cliffs. In addition, Six helped Mono solve puzzles, and was not against him holding her hand and leading her through an unfamiliar city. Her genuine concern for Mono is also evident when he frees the Thin Man, first showing her concern through gestures when Mono briefly passes out after interacting with the television, and then using the same gestures to ask the boy to run away from the television, while ignoring the danger to herself until the very end and staying by his friend's side. However, at the end of the game, when Six caught Mono on a collapsing bridge during their escape from the Black Tower, instead of picking him up, she let Mono fall, trapping him in the Transmission forever. Her reasons for doing so are never revealed, though it is implied that the way Mono forced her to stop living in the illusion of the Transmission hurt her so much that she became angry at him.[4]

Personality Six

However, even before abandoning Mono in the Black Tower, Six shows signs of insane tendencies. This is evident in how Six brutally kills a Bully with her bare hands, persistently breaks the phalanges of one of the prosthetic fingers, and does not disdain to warm herself by the stove in which the Doctor is being burned alive. If the first case can be explained by the fact that other Bullies had previously bullied Six so cruelly that she could not control her emotions, killing one of the bullies in a fit of anger, then the rest look like signs of sadism, which are not typical for ordinary children. In her corrupted form, Six is fiercely protective of her music box, though she is not initially hostile towards Mono until he damages her toy with a hammer. After this, Monster Six begins to act aggressively whenever the protagonist approaches her, is anywhere near her music box, or tries to get her attention by calling out. Despite partial indifference to others and animal hunger, Six demonstrates a high level of intelligence and cunning. She is smart enough to evade and hide from her pursuers, using the advantages of her small stature. The girl easily solves puzzles by throwing objects at buttons that she cannot reach herself, cleverly gets rid of the Watchman, using his blindness, and by the end of the game defeats the Mistress of the Womb herself. Seeing many broken mirrors in the Mistress's chambers, the girl thus figures out her main weakness and uses a small mirror as a weapon.

abilities Six

Six, despite her age, is quite strong, fast and agile. She has climbing and running skills, thanks to which she manages to escape from enemies, but it is worth considering that she has a limited supply of stamina (only in Little Nightmares, in other games she runs much faster and without getting tired), which, as in the case of the Fugitive, greatly complicates the escape from this or that monster. Six is quite smart, so if she needs to press a button that opens the passage, but it is located too high, or if she needs to distract the enemy, the girl can pick up any object and throw it with the necessary force at the target. As an additional mechanic, Six uses a lighter to illuminate places that are difficult to see in the dark. If she needs to open a hatch, but she cannot use a lighter, Six will light the nearest lamp or candle, which will be enough to constantly illuminate the space. In Very Little Nightmares, Six will occasionally catch the protagonist's eye, but she cannot be interacted with. Full interaction appears only at the end of the game, and works similarly to interaction with objects and other living beings. In Little Nightmares II, the girl will always help Mono, usually after he calls her. When interacting, Six can give Mono a lift, help him jump over gaps by grabbing his hand, push heavy objects with him, open passages, and carry things needed for escape.

abilities Six

Inescapable Hunger (after escaping the Transmission): In every chapter, Six becomes hungry. This makes her very ill, and leaves her practically defenseless as she writhes and bends over in pain. In this state, Six pounces on any food she finds, even living creatures, devouring her prey with a frenzy. When she eats someone, she seems to gain the abilities and properties of the creature she devours, as in the case of the Mistress. Life Absorption (after killing the Mistress): After killing the Mistress in a fit of hunger, Six gains her ability to suck the life force of living beings and kill them. This ability manifests itself externally as streams of dark energy that reach out to the victims. With this ability, Six kills all the Guests she encounters at the end of Little Nightmares, escaping from the Maw. Connection to Dark Six (after being abducted by the Thin Man): Six has her own Chaotic remains that constantly follow her around and with which she presumably eventually merges.

Dark Six

Appearance Dark Six looks like a normal Six, wearing her raincoat, but is completely black and seems not quite material, as if she is made up of many particles. In Little Nightmares II, she appears translucent and, like other Chaotic Remains, has the line scan and static effects of old televisions constantly visible on her body. Little Nightmares Dark Six first appears in the first chapter, Prison, when Six is satisfying her hunger with the bread given to her by a boy. She is seen near the broken bars through which Six will later enter the showers. The second time Dark Six appears in the Lair is when Six enters the cage prepared for her and eats the meat before being caught by the Watchman. This time, she is standing on the ceiling on the pipes that the rats are tied to. The third time Dark Six appears is in the Kitchen, where she watches Six eating a live rat while sitting on the edge of a metal box off to the side. The fourth time Dark Six appears in the Guest Area is when Six kills Nome. She stands on a table among the bottles and watches the event. Dark Six makes her final brief appearance in the final chapter, where she watches the protagonist prepare to kill the Mistress, standing next to the latter. Little Nightmares II Dark Six appears in the penultimate chapter, when Six is kidnapped by the Thin Man, leaving behind a ghostly silhouette of her. Dark Six appears for the second time at the end of the same chapter, when Mono leaves the Thin Man on the train, and shows him the way to the Black Tower. If Mono collected all of the Chaotic Remains of the children captured by the Thin Man throughout the game, a secret ending appears after the credits, in which Six escapes the Black Tower through a TV, and then meets a dark version of herself. Dark Six notices a poster of the Womb, and then vanishes into thin air before the girl can feel hunger.

Dark Six

Personality It is currently unknown what exactly Dark Six's personality is, but it can be concluded that she is quite secretive, as she almost always appears in the shadows and prefers to observe what is happening from a distance. However, attentive players may notice a striking difference between her and the other Chaotic Remains: Dark Six does not stay in one place, but persistently pursues her corporeal version, keeping an eye on her. Dark Six also inspires Mono by gesturing to lead him to the stairs from the sewers, indicating that she is still friendly towards the boy and considers him a close person.

Mono

Appearance Like many of the other children, Mono is extremely thin and short in stature. Like Six and Runaway, he has typical Asian features, with brown eyes and short, messy black hair. However, his skin is slightly paler than the other children, and his eyes have very large pupils, making them appear almost black. Mono's wardrobe consists of brown pants, a gray shirt, and a long gray-green coat with a key holder, but despite such warm clothes, the boy has no shoes on his feet. But Mono's most important feature is the gray paper bag on his head with two slits for eyes, which he can replace with any headwear he finds. Little Nightmares II (Comic Series) In the first episode of the digital comics, Six, trying to escape the Hunter in the Wasteland, goes out into the open air after seeing Mono on a tree branch in the moonlight. Their first encounter ends with the Hunter finding Six, who has let down his guard, and now holds her at gunpoint, thus foreshadowing the events of Little Nightmares II. In the sixth episode, Mono is featured as the main character. When he wakes up in the rubble of a building's floor, he sees other children running around the burning building in panic, trying to escape before the sprinklers on the ceiling go off and put out the fire. Despite seemingly being saved from death, a creature appears in the shadows and begins to grab the children and kill them. Mono manages to hide in another room, where he plans to escape through a window, but at the last moment he hides in a broken television before the creature enters the room and finds the boy.

Mono's Personality

Personality Like other characters in the Little Nightmares universe, Mono does not speak, but his personality is shown in his actions. It is shown that he, like other children, strives to survive in the world of Nothingness. However, unlike the same Six, Mono is somewhat softer in character: it seems that he sincerely strives to help other children in difficult situations, appearing to be a well-intentioned altruist. This is evident when he finds Six in the Hunter's house and immediately offers to help her. Despite the fact that she initially tried to escape without him, Mono followed her until the girl realized that she really needed a companion. After they met, he strives to help his new acquaintance in everything, and also protects her on her journey through the Pale City. And if at first the children are united only by the desire to survive, then later their relationship becomes noticeably warmer, developing into friendship and affection. At the same time, despite his responsiveness, Mono can often be cruel to those who try to attack him: in the School, he deals with several hooligans, smashing their heads with hammers and a ladle; in the Hospital, to distract the Doctor, he disconnects one of the Patients from the life support machine, and then burns the Doctor alive (although the latter depends on the player's actions). Mono's official description also states that he is quite goal-oriented and stubborn in achieving his goals. Like Six, he is quite intelligent, capable of solving puzzles, and unlike Six, he is able to fight back and even kill his opponents by using the environment and their weaknesses to his advantage. However, Mono's main trait is that he likes to wear objects on his head to hide his face, which may indicate that he is shy or wants to hide his identity from others.[1] His description also states that his paper bag helps him forget that "the world hates him and wants him to fail", which may imply that he believes life is cruel to him.

Mono's Personality

Towards the end of the game, Mono decides to fight the Thin Man. Before doing so, he removes the bag from his head, showing that he is tired of hiding from the cruel world and wants to end it all forever. After defeating the Thin Man, Mono gains full control of his powers and becomes even bolder. But when he is abandoned by Six in the Black Tower and Mono falls under the power of the Transmission, he resigns himself to his fate and, as time goes by, matures into a gloomy, emotionless, and desperate being.

Mechanics mono

Like Six, Mono is quite fast and agile. However, unlike the fragile girl, the protagonist of the second part is a bit stronger (but much more clumsy), and therefore has a bit more skills. For example, Mono can use some objects (axes, hammers, or pipe cuttings) to defend himself from small enemies, damaging or killing them, and to safely move on, for example, by putting a stick in a trap or breaking a door with an axe. He is also quite durable, which is why he does not need a break after a long run, which was lacking in the protagonists of Little Nightmares and DLC. Like the Fugitive, in certain levels, Mono uses a flashlight to illuminate the darkest places of the Pale City. His light can also be used to defend himself from the Patients pursuing the boy, who, when exposed to light, lose the ability to move for a while. Since Mono travels with Six in Little Nightmares II, he can interact with her whenever he needs an extra hand. If Mono wants to get her attention, he can call out to Six so she can help him with something. Mono can also walk while holding hands with Six. Towards the end of the game, Mono's ability to travel through televisions to other locations in the Pale City is revealed, sometimes using a remote control found in one of the apartments to turn them on and off. With these, the boy can also distract the Viewers by turning certain televisions on and off, causing monsters to run to other locations, opening up a path for himself.

Mono's abilities

Transmission Tuning: Mono's key difference from the other children is his ability to interact with the Transmission broadcast through the televisions. This is shown by the boy being able to somehow connect to the televisions and, with enough concentration, enter a long hallway leading to the Thin Man's room. Near the end of the game, when Mono comes face to face with the Thin Man, he begins to fight him using a power identical to the monster, which appears to be the ability to control the Transmission. Ethereal Transport: After being kidnapped by the Sixth Thin Man, Mono gains (or rediscovers) the ability to use televisions that are on as portals, moving through their screens from one point to another. Like the Thin Man, the boy uses this power to move around the Pale City, moving towards the Black Tower and avoiding monsters. Space Distortion: After fully unlocking his power during his fight with the Thin Man, Mono gains the ability to distort the space around and in front of him, using it for various purposes. This ability is first seen during his fight with the Thin Man, where the two's blows distort and even begin to destroy the entire Pale City, and after defeating the monster, Mono, like the Thin Man, compresses the space in front of him and reaches the Black Tower without moving, "pulling" it towards him. Chaotic Remains Absorption: Whenever he encounters Chaotic Remains, Mono will absorb them, writhing in the process. It is unknown what Chaotic Remains actually are or why Mono can absorb them, but it seems to be related to Mono's powers to interact with the Transmission.

Reason for betrayal Six

The music box in the Tower created an illusion of a normal childhood for Six, which the girl did not want to leave, despite the fact that the influence of the Transfer was distorting it. When Mono destroyed the music box, he destroyed this illusion, which caused Six to become angry with him and began to see only the negative side of his previous actions. Considering the boy a threat to herself, Six chose to abandon her friend so that he would not cause her any more pain, as he did by destroying the illusion in the Tower.
