MAP
The Old Orphanage
The Map would be the grounds of the Orphanage. In the center of the map is the Orphanage, containing:
- the Dorms(2 Floors)
- the Classroom
- the Lobby(2 Floors)
- the Kitchen
- the Dining Room
- the Balcony(2nd Floor outdoors)
- the Headmistress's Bedroom(2nd Floor)
- the Attic(3rd Floor)
- the Storage(Below Ground)
- the Room(Below Ground)
The Orphanage encow Ground)open courtyard where an old trees grows in the middle. Other areas like the Killer Shack are on the outskirts of the Orphanage grounds.
The Orphanage itself is rundown, partially destroyed(mainly the dorms area) and burnt. Numerous windows and walls for vaulting.
(Maybe I'll draw up some pictures later)
Additional Comments
The Headmistress should feel fairly weak early on, but as the game goes on and her summons come out, the pressure will really start to press on with all the Girls running around. With her base perks, she should be able to track well if the survivors crowd together too much.
Choosing the right Girl to summon could dramatically change how the match progresses.
Daisy constantly patrols the map, always moving away from survivors. Potentially finding more survivors away from any she's run into.
With Iris, Survivors can be revealed in areas the Headmistress is currently not at. Can also locate any survivors trying to hide.
If Poppy finds any Survivor hiding(whether in a locker or crouched somewhere) she will keep causing them to scream until they either leave the locker or get up and move.
The Headmistress can either choose to follow Violet to survivors or let her pressure survivors on her own while she chases closer survivors. Survivors will have to keep moving to keep Violet off their tail.
With Holly, the Headmistress effectively doubles her presence on the map with Holly's disguise and terror radius as well. This can be taken advantage of with other perks and add-ons.
Rose will be able to apply heavy pressure, potentially cutting off loops and chasing survivors off generators.
The Girls are all easily outran. The Girls(except Holly who moves at the Headmistress's speed) all move at Survivor walking speed. Violet sprints faster than walking speed but slower than running speed. Violet and Rose are the only ones who will give chase to the Survivors.
The Headmistress can drag the Survivors into deep ######### if she can pressure effectively and swarm the map with the Girls before too many generators get done.
Lily with her perks is built for disappearing during and after chases with the Killer. If she can coordinate well with her teammates, she can rack up decent stacks of HWGA to potentially wiggle off the killer more.
This is all obviously flower themed.

First of all, I love this concept of the killer and survivor, not only is the power great, the art is amazing too.
Ill start of with the headmistresses perks.
Lights out sounds like a great and balanced perk, and encourages survivors to split up, although I think it should be 3/6/9 meters instead of 4/8/12.
Hex: Rules of the game to me seems like a very poor perk. The only time this would be useful is if you’re near the survivor to me, so I’m suggesting change it to 5/10/15 per cleansed totem and the cleanser has 2/3/4 perks disabled for 60/90/120 seconds.
Finally Mothers precious should have a short cooldown, maybe 30/25/20 seconds depending on the tier?
The power is something that’s original and I would absolutely love to see in DBD, so I’ll have an individual look at each one briefly.
Daisy seems balanced, with little to no problems, I’d say it needs to be if survivors are running rather than walking and running, but when within 8 meters she screams at them regardless.
Iris is fine, no problems what so ever.
Poppy seems fine, and I’d love to hear my reactions being jumpscared by her.
Violet is also fine, considering she has to travel the whole map.
Holly seems fine, no balance needed.
I know Rose is an add on, but I’m seriously against it. I don’t think any add on should be capable of killing a survivor unless there are serious consequences for using such add on.
Just a few questions: Do you get to choose which girl is spawned, and where do they spawn?
As for the survivor perks
Slip Away needs a slight change for me, as being out of a chase can be really stupid as what counts. I think it should be changed to after escaping a chase and not starting a chase within 10/9/8 seconds you leave no scratch marks for 4/6/8 seconds.
Here we go again seems fine and balanced.
Wallflower is basically distortion but has range and infinite uses, personally this perk needs a complete overhaul.
Enjoyed reading this :)

I LOVE the amount of effort put into this.
@CheersTC already summarized some changes you will make, but the one I will really stress with him is Rose. Rose, even as an addon, should not work. Ultra Rare addons should totally change the game, but should never allow an automatic death of a survivor.
My only other complaint is the amount of girls within the power. There are a ton, and all are creative in their own way sure, but that is a ton. Imagine on smaller maps what it would be like, it would be unbalanced to be honest. Even if they have a small detection range, they still wander around. Maybe take off one or two of them.
- As a side note on the girls, I think all of them doing something unique might be troublesome for survivors. Powers can be complex, but studying what each individual girl looks like and does seems like a chore. I suggest maybe creating two types (or something like that) of girls with each type having their own unique clothing.
But seriously, the effort is fantastic. Nice art as well, I don't know if you made it or not, but it's nice.
