The Forest Lady (Among The Sleep)

The Forest Lady appears in the second level, The Forest, it represents The Mother when she's drinking and in sorrow, it's the only monster that is able to walk on water and emerges from the library, you can hear it close by cricket like sounds.

She is first seen when adventuring through the western side of the area within the fireplace room, where her head is bobs in the water after the fire is extinguished. She cannot harm the player here, and only kills the player if they fall in the water.

Later, when venturing the eastern area of the map, she appears through the window at the well, distorting the player's vision and leaving the screen. When the player fishes out the puzzle piece, she stalks them through the woods, where they must hide to evade her.

When the player collects the key in the outdoor storage, she passes by outside, and the player must run and hide to reach and unlock the fence. Once the fence is unlocked, she appears behind them, but will disappear before doing any real harm.

She appears one last time in the southern area of the house, the library. She appears straight ahead in the river, and the player must find a route past her or hide underneath cover to get through. On each edge of the river, the player must cross planks to reach the other side, where she will likely reappear. Find cover to evade her. Once you reach the final door to the bedroom, the player must hide one last time under the chair or the bed to avoid her.

When the player visits the playground for the third time, Teddy will comment on how disturbing and unusual the creature is, and state that she feels sorrow and sadness.
