school of idiots

Who she is: a cheerful but stubborn girl for whom every encounter is an invitation to play. She doesn't care whether you're in a hurry or running from Baldi: if she spots you, there's no avoiding the game.
Her signature move: the jump rope seems to have a life of its own—the rope constantly bends slightly, as if already spinning, even when Peremenka is simply standing still. This makes it seem like she's about to start jumping.
Rule: If she gets in your way, you have to jump over her rope five times. One miss, and the counter resets, and the jumping starts all over again. It's a fun game for her, but for you, it's wasted time that could cost you a meeting with Baldi.
Behavior: She wanders the hallways, humming a strange tune, a sound that lets you know she's nearby. If she sees you, she immediately shouts joyfully, "Let's play!" and blocks the passage.
Weakness: She has a short memory and poor eyesight. If you hide in the classroom and keep quiet, she'll quickly forget who she was looking for and move on to find a playmate.

who: the last survivor
Prop: a shard of stained glass - it scratches your palm, but as long as you feel it, you don’t disappear.
Fear: the silence that erases footsteps and voices. You're afraid the next turn will simply "erase" you.
Strength: the ability to notice small details—the flickering of light, the shifting of a shadow, the creak of a floorboard. In this school, small details save lives.

Who he is: The teacher who pretends to be friendly until you get your math problems right. He stands there with a wide smile and a ruler, as if he's just waiting for praise.
Rule: any mistake in the task and the smile disappears. From that moment on, he doesn't teach, he persecutes.
How it moves: It doesn't just run—it makes sharp dashes, and between them, it slaps the ruler against its palm. Each slap is a step closer. The more mistakes you make, the more frequent the slaps and the faster it runs.
What it hears: any door, any creak, any rustle. If you open the door, it already knows where you are. If you drop something, it turns right toward the sound.
His thing: he doesn't just chase you, he hunts you down. He loves to block exits, appearing from around corners, as if he already knows where you'll run. And the longer you run from him, the angrier and faster he gets—as if the school itself is helping him catch you.

Character: cunning, patient, as if alive and observing.
Mechanics: changes space, erases traces, blocks exits, increases the feeling of isolation.
The goal is to test those who enter, to force them to face what they suppress or do not want to see.
Detail: silence here is not the absence of sound, but an active barrier: it dampens emotions and interferes with concentration.

Essence: The embodiment of depth, mystery and inevitability; feels confident where others are lost.
Ability: Manipulates shadows; his shadow can detach and scout out an area, noticing what is hidden from view.
Weakness: forced to rely on the "voice" of darkness, and in this school the silence weighs even on her - it's as if the darkness becomes deaf.
Motivation: to unravel the trap and maintain control; hates it when someone pulls the strings while remaining in the shadows.
Detail: he is the only one whose shadow behaves like a separate observer - and this is both his advantage and a sign that the place is truly strange.

Essence: The embodiment of order, clarity and hope; accustomed to the fact that his power clarifies everything and dispels darkness.
Ability: Creates a glow that reveals hidden details and weakens illusions.
Weakness: in absolute silence and "dead" emptiness, his light loses its usual strength - he relies on the response of the world, and Baldi's school does not respond.
Motivation: to find a way out and maintain balance; dislikes the unknown because it resembles helplessness.
Detail: his light casts no shadow—this worries him more than he's willing to admit.
