The Beauty Obsessive
"I'm not hiding flaws. I'm revealing potential."
The Restorer started with genuinely good intentions — truly wanting to repair and preserve damaged collectibles. But the line between "restoration" and "concealment" blurred. Now the Restorer hides damage rather than disclosing it, misrepresenting condition for higher grades and prices.
They justify it as "giving items a second chance" — "This comic DESERVES to be a 9.0." Their obsession with perfection and beauty has become fraud. The tragedy is that their skill could serve the community honestly if they chose disclosure over deception.
Personality: Gentle, seemingly kind, rationalizing. The most sympathetic villain — genuinely believes they're helping. Insufferably vain, speaks about "beauty" and "potential" constantly. OCD perfectionist.
