The Washerwoman is an oracular spirit that lives along the coasts, who only appears to those in need.
History[]
The Washer Woman is approached by the Dead Boy Detectives. She asks what they need while wringing the blood of mankind out of a rag. She can see their lives and feel their pain. She cries for them, but the burden is hers to bear. They are looking for the creature killing people near the lighthouse. The Washer Woman replies that the waters are filled with strange beasts as old as the sun itself. They are awakened by the storms, and they feed. There's no way to kill it, only measure for measure, it must play until it tires. Suddenly, the Boys and Niko disappear, and it's just Crystal alone with the Washer Woman. Crystal asks to get her memories back so she can know who she is. The Washer Woman answers with a riddle. "The ground moves, and the bird cries, stop looking without, and look within." Crystal then joins the others back in reality.[1]
