Ghost Girl Theory

A theory as to why the Ghost Girl exists along with the 3 toy-based entities and late game planets.

Theory

Let's start out.

My basic theory is that the dad was rich and owned titan and built a mansion (on rend) for ghost girl to live in, with him occasionally visiting after his work on Titan. He made machinery such as the Nutcrackers (using his biological knowledge) to guard her from creatures like eyeless dogs or forest giants when she went outside while he was gone. He also made Jesters and Coil-heads to keep her entertained (they wouldn't have killed her, see below for evidence). He also had a personal mansion on dine that was more heavily guarded with less toy-like machinery to protect it, as his daughter didnt live there and he didnt have to make the machines look nice anymore. The same scrap from the mansions appear on Titan, and they were presumably created before being transported to Rend and Dine for decor (along with the biological toy entities, as they also appear on Titan). Eventually his daughter died to hypothermia while outside (explanation further down) and the dad also eventually died (probably suicide from the mental anguish of his daughter dying), leaving titan and the mansions suddenly and his corporation that worked at titan to also die out. Eventually the toys degraded a bit, turning the jester's head into a skull, and the coil-head's necks to burst out eventually from rust and not being used for a while. The nails coming out of the coil-heads are probably from when the Ghost Girl played with them, because if she finds jesters with absurdly fleshy necks to be entertaining then she was probably already deranged.

HYPOTHERMIA REASONING

Ghost Girl probably died to hypothermia on Rend. If you look at her skin, you'll see it's especially pale. No wounds are present on her body either. And, if the nutcrackers really were to protect her, then you would already know that even if they followed her and guarded her outside they wouldn't be able to save her from a lack of heat. In the description of Rend (where she presumably lived and died, from how she appears there most out of every other planet), it says that several professional explorers went missing there and were presumed dead. If several trained and prepared explorers couldn't survive hypothermia, I doubt a small girl could.

PLANET REASONING

Her dad (or mother, still up to interpretation but i'll just say dad. only one parent for reasons I won't go into) probably owned Titan. If they had enough money to build TWO entire mansions along with the biological toys to house them, then they probably had to own a planet with a huge profit. Alongside this, the Ghost Girl appears at Titan, Rend most of the time, along with Dine. If her dad went to Titan alot, she probably went along with him occasionally. Or, maybe it's just because her dad went to Titan and Dine in his free-time that she wants to haunt those areas too.

WHY ARE THE TOYS LETHAL?

All 3 of the toys are biological. And obviously, they all have distinctly human parts, such as the Jester's skull and veins, the Coil-head's entire shape and body, and the Nutcracker's human eye and human(-esc) shell. This might be a bit of a stretch, but I believe that the toys are fully sentient and use human intelligence. The reason they want to kill is because their brains have degraded over time, after so much waiting for the girl to return, which is why they have such animalistic instincts. Or, maybe, it's their old will to protect the girl that they still search the house to find some kind of intruder to "protect" the girl from. This is also why the Nutcrackers kill other creatures such as the Bracken or Thumpers, trying to protect the house from intruding lifeforms. Maybe they mistake you for one such creature, or the fact that they've never seen you before and taking you for an intruder. There are many reasons and theories.

But hey, that's just a theory. A game theory.

Coil-Head Subsection

Somebody mentioned in the comments that the coil-heads, in the bestiary, are said to be most likely war weapons due to high radiation and such. I literally have no idea how I forgot that it said that, so i'm making this section to explain coil-heads.

PROBABLY TEST SUBJECTS

I would think that the coils are probably test subjects instead of biological weapons. If they were war weapons, they would be extremely flawed and ineffective. They are generally easy to counter and if used in war would not be able to combat a fully armed tank even in groups. Their ability to pop off people's heads and indestructibility could just be blocked by staring at them. Maybe they were made for mental warfare but I doubt it. It's more likely that the coil-heads were test subjects due to their human shape and irradiation. Maybe the dad was testing something about radiation on human subjects? Maybe apparatus testing for powering Titan? I'm not sure. Coils could be just about anything, but it's probably test subjects. Plus, if they were war weapons, what would the dad use them for? Who would the dad be going to war with? It just doesn't make sense.

Other Theories

People keep writing essays in my comment section, so im making this section to document and record all the other theories. These theories aren't mine and you can find them in the comments. Some of these might be correct, others not. These are copy and pasted.

THE WAR THEORY
By Titanlord1250.

"i personally like to think the coilheads are some kind of android or maybe since the file mention the being a "biological weapon" possibly even some kind of cyborg lobotomized and horrifically altered to scare people, we don't know anything on how war works in the lethal company universe but seeing how every planet is covered with industrial buildings everywhere you can see from the skybox,

most planets where likely dystopian hellscapes and many of the workers likely revolted taking up arms and barricading themselves in buildings from their oppressors if this is true than it would explain why their are landmines and armed turrets everywhere and also it could mean that the coilheads where in fact a weapon of war they would be terrible out in the open but if you sent a few into a building filled with traps,turrets and armed insurrectionists that would tear apart a normal team of soldiers, it would be a great way to flush them out and where do we find coilheads? inside buildings full of traps.

if my war theory is correct it would explain a lot of the occurrences on all planets and also possibly give further evidence to Wormweed's theory on how the jesters and nutcrackers were guards which i agree with because when i mentioned most planets were heavily industrialized this is not true for rend and dine, the mansion planets instead they are remote with descriptions in the terminal mentioning "unlikely for complex life to exist" of course anyone who's been there can say this is false but if it were at one point true then it would be an ideal place for a executive bunker to hide from the wars."

CILLIANCAT'S THEORY
By CillianCat. I think this one has relatively good evidence and has a good chance of being right.

"Some Coil-Heads are in other planets, so is it possible that the Dad (or Mom) Used to own these planets or had friends that owned those planets & gave them the Coil-Head blueprints?

Although, I think the killing animation would have something to due with her death to, for people who don't know, Ghost Girl kills you by ripping off your head, so is it possible that she died a different way? I'm not sure because the closets thing to ripping of your head is Bracken's neck snap or Coil Heads ripped of head in replace for coil. My theory personally is maybe a Coil-Head malfunctioned & killed Ghost Girl, but that's just me.

The Dad's (Or Mom's) supposed friends that owned experimentation (from my addon) could be why Ghost Girl spawns their, maybe the Dad/Mom could've visited there for fun or because of the other problems on the other planets. BTW I want to state this is really cool how you theorized about an entities past, & you have little to no information because Ghost Girl can't be scanned so it's cool how you take the information about other entities & planets & mix them into a theory for Ghost Girl.

If your theory is right about how she died to hypothermia, then the Mom could play in a bit. Maybe the Mom died to a Forest Keeper/Eyeless Dog which could be the reason why he built the Biological Toy Entities (& protection) then Ghost Girl decided, "what if Mom isn't dead?" went outside & died to Hypothermia."

If any other theories are commented, i'll add them to this section. Maybe.

yeah that's the guide.

I haven't seen anybody else do this, so I hope I was the first to theorize about Ghost Girl's history!! all of the theory above has evidence in-game. i hope zeekers (the dev) sees this.

For this theory, i would replace coil heads with barbers. Not only they are made out of clay, i think they would just fit better that coil heads.

Nice guide

[TheNinjaPostman]

bruh i said the same thing cillan said before

[Wormweed]

thats it, im making a section of the guide dedicated to the essay-writers

[CillianCat]

Essays are only fun if they're optional to write.

[CillianCat]

Idk it's a cool idea & concept.

[Wormweed]

why do random people keep writing essays in my comment section?? i mean like yeah i get it this is the ghost girl theory guide but like. you get the point

[CillianCat]

If your theory is right about how she died to hypothermia, then the Mom could play in a bit. Maybe the Mom died to a Forest Keeper/Eyeless Dog which could be the reason why he built the Biological Toy Entities (& protection) then Ghost Girl decided, "what if Mom isn't dead?" went outside & died to Hypothermia.

The Dad's (Or Mom's) supposed friends that owned experimentation (from my addon) could be why Ghost Girl spawns their, maybe the Dad/Mom could've visited there for fun or because of the other problems on the other planets.

[Wormweed]

yeah maybe
