Game: Ib by Kouri Ib is a game about a young girl who goes to an art exhibition with her parents.The exhibition is a retrospective on an artist named Guertena, whose work can best be described as a mashup of contemporary art, running the gamut of painting, sculpture, “outsider”-style modern art, and basically anything else you can think of.
'It was said that he based this on a lover he had at the time, but he has denied this claim. In truth, Guertena based it around the ugly, haughty women who attempted to court him for his inheritance.'
The Lady in Red is one of Guertena's paintings located in the Guertena Art Galleryin the game Ib. It depicts a woman with long brown hair and red eyes. Her attire consists of a red dress. As one of the books Mary and Ib can read in the Brown Area claims, the women pictured in The Lady in Red and its variations are based off women who would court Guertena for his money, rather than the popular theory that they were based off of lovers he had at the time.
The Lady in Red is also one of many enemies in the game.
~Location~
The Lady in Red can be first seen in the Guertena Art Gallery. Before the lights start to flicker, a man is staring at her, wondering if she could be unintentionally based off of a real person. The painting can be seen again in the Red Area, hanging on the wall next to the Red Key, and again in the Gray Area, next to its other variations.
In the True Guertena Exhibit, The Lady in Red is located in the right room of the main display, hanging on a wall shared with the painting Misshapen Diamond.
~Encounters~
Ib Horror Game
The first encounter with the Lady in Red is in the normal gallery, where she appears only as a static painting.
The first time she is seen as an enemy is in the Red Area, when she smashes out of her painting upon being observed, revealing the Red Key. After emerging from the painting, the Lady will chase Ib around, dragging her frame behind her, until Ib exits the room.
