Haunt

Haunt is a Daisy EXE that survived a possession attempt by a Boo and acts as a non-malicious antagonist for the game Luigi's Mansion. She was created by @Plasma3031 on April 23, 2022.

Biography
When Luigi set out for the haunted mansion in an attempt at finding and rescuing his missing brother Mario, his own absence left Daisy alone and curious. She took it upon herself to seek out the manor with intent on helping Luigi find Mario. Upon her arrival, however, she was accosted by a Boo, having recently escaped its prison with its brethren after Luigi accidentally set them all free. The Boo attempted to possess her, flying into her body. However, Daisy's iron will and determination could not be conquered, and she won the ensuing power struggle, taking all of the Boo's energy and power for herself, transforming from an ordinary human woman into the half-human, half-ghost entity known as Haunt.

Her energetic, bubbly personality was entirely preserved, as was her romantic attachment to Luigi, leading her to search the manor for the green plumber, hoping to aid him in his quest. However, due to her now heightened strength, she unintentionally poses a threat to the plumber, as if she were to spot him she would rush forward and embrace him, accidentally breaking a few of his ribs in the process. Thus, her presence turns Luigi's Mansion into a sort of survival horror experience, where Luigi must simultaneously continue his search for his brother and evade Haunt, lest he risk serious injury due to her overexcited reaction to his presence. She can be hidden from by slipping into cabinets or under tables, as her poorer eyesight prompts her to avoid checking those areas unless she catches Luigi entering them. She also cannot see very well in unlit areas, making dark rooms significantly safer for poor Luigi.

Regardless of if she finds him or not, Haunt will appear for the final battle against King Boo, helping Luigi by distracting the ghost so the plumber can attack, before heading home with him once Mario is rescued.

Abilities
Haunt is capable of doing many things a Boo can, such as phasing through walls, levitation and turning invisible. Her transformation has also granted her heightened strength that can be used to easily clear any obstacles she cannot pass with her abilities, or if said abilities are unable to be used. Her newly-elongated limbs are fully prehensile and can be wrapped around objects or people to yank them towards her, or even used as whips to attack if need be.

Weaknesses
Despite now being partially a Boo, Haunt still cannot see very well in the dark, especially now that she only has one eye. Additionally, she can only use her Boo abilities for short periods at a time, and is still functionally "alive." The only exception to this rule is her levitation, which can be used at any time regardless of her current energy level.

Trivia

 * Haunt retained her entire personality after her transformation, including her love for sports and sweets, especially carrot cake. However, her newly-acquired lack of hands makes actually enjoying said sports difficult.
 * Haunt gets along especially well with most Princess Peach and Luigi EXEs, unless they aim aggression towards her with intent to harm.
 * Her teeth are pointy and sharp, a trait inherited from the Boo.
