Cash Shop: Possessed Pearl Cameo
Mattieu’s doing just fine, thanks to you. He’s resting and taking it easy. He did write this out to you, though. Said he wanted to give you the information while it was still fresh in his mind. He doesn’t think it will help, but there’s got to be a genuine lead in here, right?
“Dear friend,
I want to do whatever I can to help you as you’ve helped me, but I find it hard to write a coherent thought. It’s as if my memories are being pulled out of my mind. This was something that the other victims discussed feeling after their possessions, so after you freed me, I knew I had to write down anything I could. Unfortunately, what I wrote no longer makes sense to me.
“Hard to see, can make out vague shape. Human? Glowing,” “Shadowglen, twisting trees,” “The floating market in Shengui Guo,” “Pillars in the desert,” “Dark cave, filled with magic,” “Firey aura, but it’s so cold,” “Broken swords, broken spirit. Punishment. Anger.”

I'm drooling over that art :heart_eyes: between the character and the skin... Gorgeous
@Mythology
This is long
I've said before that I think the Shadowglen challenger will be Jaxon or Ian or both as another two-for one like Vic and Garret were (I also think Ian and Quentin could be another pairing but if my theory that the CS challenger will relate to the monthly theme is true then it seems unlikely since Quentin is more associated with ghosts while Jaxon is more associated with plants)
I think the Floating Market will almost certainly be Jogoh, she's the only one there who really makes things. Not sure who will do the news posts though since none of the Shengui Guo NPCs currently have accounts, maybe it will be Esther again, or another previously-possessed NPC.
The desert almost certainly refers to Saherimos, I thought of Sephora or Qazim but I don't know if they really make anything (maybe Sephora does? I don't know), someone also suggested one of the Shrine NPCs or Shanti, I also think it could be Laure. Shinwa's temple has pillars and I think I recall reading somewhere that she likes to carve statues or something like that, but I really doubt it could be her. The Souk appears to have a building with pillars though, so it could be someone else instead.
I was confused about the cave, but I think it might be referring to the Coda Caves, they have magic crystals in them. If that's right, I'm sort of hoping it will be Iltallo rather than Celeste because his art is newer (Celeste really needs a revamp), and he seems like the one more likely to make things anyway because he turns pets into the Galactic colour.
I think the firey aura might refer to Veta during Fireside, if the order is correct then that means it will be in November when Fireside takes place. I think Charity and Sarah both make things, it might also be Wesley if he also makes things in his spare time (I know Charity is in Riverside but Esther was found in Peka rather than Veta).
I have no idea about the broken swords. We could have a possessed version of Mathis after all those Blakes last year, same with Reischen. It could also refer to the pirates, if that's so then I think it might be Babette or Bloodhungry or even both, they both make food and we've already had a food-related challenger from Elsie so that means that those are possible in spite of 2019's CS challenger theme.

Hint Ideas
“The floating market in Shengui Guo,” = With a lot of other people, I am also assuming Jogoh is a target, since she makes clothes
“Hard to see, can make out vague shape. Human? Glowing,” = Possibly Jaxon?? Or Maleria or Lukien. My other guess would Euclid or Ian
“Shadowglen, twisting trees,” = Potentially Element Mage or Quentin? Maybe the Dungarde?
“Pillars in the desert,” = Could be the Excavation Site, which is a place of power, or if in the desert is anything to go by, our Secluded Shrine NPCs, since they're crafters for the Scrolls (Yumiko and/or Kuwabara)
“Dark cave, filled with magic,” = Blackheart Hollow, with the Gatekeeper??
“Firey aura, but it’s so cold,” = Not sure on this one
“Broken swords, broken spirit. Punishment. Anger.” = Since Mathis was already a challenger...hmmm. Could be Reischen, Saggitarius or someone from the Freyalise??
I almost hope it's Shinwa, though I know it couldn't be. Maleria feels too easy.
It's probably someone entirely new though.

I have a theory it has something to do with the Oracle. Every path points to something somewhat tied to the Oracle.
Ooh that one is very pretty :o I agree that wearables based off this would be amazing.
Speaking of wearables, would it be possible to have the overlays be like redeemable skin items in the same vein as hair coupons? I know were getting all these awesome body mod items now and it's a shame these don't work with them 'cause limbs aren't removable. Just a thought, but I understand staff are working hard on a lot of things so I totally get if that can't be a thing right now.

@Laurey
!!! That's exactly who I was thinking of! I wonder, maybe she learned how to use magic over the years, and with Darkheart having a bit of character development, maybe they split and she began to plot on her own. I wouldn't be surprised if this lead to her launching an attack on the Sacred Lands at the end of the year...

oooOOOhhh wow! artist, well done, gorgeous character art!! i need to see all the angles please, all the details of the outfit <3 i just love iiiitttt!!!
then i need all of the pieces of the outfit for my wardrobe. like ASAP! even if you have to put it in BHH i don't even care, i'll stalk that place so much Maleria will get sick of throwing me out...
SubQ would be perfect though, seeing as this has been a whole thing about designers and makers. please subeta gods!!

I've been wondering if it could be be Mori wanting a way to take over Nori or become separated from her, since Maleria seems too obvious, but then again we don't appear to have an upcoming Darkside challenger, maybe because she is from there...
Man, I got all excited when I saw 
because it's been forever since we had a new weapon. But no, despite the description saying it's a weapon, it isn't.
subeta y ;_;
subeta y ;_;
i vaguely remember one of the staffers calling liara "a popsicle" (which i took to mean dead) after darkheart got his bit of character development a few years ago, but i hope it is her, somehow. it'd be neat to see liara come back and have her own moment in the sun.
@Kinky elsie was already possessed in february

This was a really pretty, well-done challenger. Also wondering: Are we maybe headed into a Neugarten plot?
What a beautiful creation! My first thought after reading the memories was “It’s going to possess Dungarde next?!”
And double posting, sorry, but for the Dark Cave filled with magic, I think it's Illtallo. He makes your pet into a Galactic form. It absolutely makes the most sense, in my mind.
I think for Shadowglen, it may be Elsie. She lives in the Underground beneath a twisted tree, and she makes things, not delicious thing sot us normies of course, but she still creates things.
First off, LOVE the art! Whoever did this did an amazing job! She's so dynamic for being a dummy thicc statue thing~ ♥️
Other than that, I've been thinking (since Cinthia was released from possession) that she (this being who is possessing people) might be one of whatever the beings are that get forcibly bound to... things to become dungarde.
But this one was like: "No. I want to inhabit Subeta, but I will do so on my own terms and I will choose my OWN form."
And, by choose, I mean forcibly take over NPCs & make them craft what she wants. haha. If so, she needs to get in contact with Isaac because he took control of how he's perceived too, but without the sticky mess of mind control. :P
Don't think I've posted this yet, but, if I did, apologies for making people read my ramblings twice. ha. I also like the idea that it could be Liara too.
also hoping it reads ok; tired as hell right now. uff.

@Florrosada12 @Laurey ooooh, verrrrry interesting theory y'all came up with! :D
Also seconding all the comments to make a SubQ line based on this (the previous challenger would make a nice one too, come to think of it), or at least just make that pretty, pretty mask a wearable...

WOW! I am going have to buy two of these. This reminds me of the Opal skin from the wardrobe! :}
@Florrosada12
Ooh, you might be on to something! I was thinking maybe Maleria at first, because she also has a backstory about being banished but your comment reminded me of this...
which, reading the description, goes along with what you said and I could see as a possibility.
The Subetapedia entry for Darkheart Phantom mentions her a bit as well - link

I can't see it! No matter how many times I log out. All my hover wearable previews are broken images :c
