Gumshoe

The Gumshoe is a private investigator & one of the, with the ability to give possible choices on a pony's role.

Mechanics

 * The Gumshoe will investigate a chosen suspect and give two to three possibilities of a suspect's role. The results can by any of the following:
 * or
 * or
 * or
 * ,, or
 * or
 * or
 * or
 * Gumshoe (herself)


 * While the Gumshoe is still vulnerable to the Changeling Forger, she still has a ~30% chance of seeing through the forgery, but she will not be able to tell the exact role of the target pony in this case.

Strategy

 * Always use the Gumshoe on a pony that has not yet been investigated by her. She can reveal the roles of every pony, even the elusive Changeling Queen or the Mule whom cannot be told apart by the Reporter from an ordinary townspony.
 * When both the Gumshoe and the Reporter have been discovered, always prioritize the Gumshoe when using the Bodyguard or the Nurse. The Gumshoe's ability to find the Changeling Queen, the Mule, and expose herself is a huge advantage over the Reporter.

Role
Being an investigator that can accurately guess one's roles, the Gumshoe is one of the important assets of the game. She is also the only one who can guess one's identity of being a Changeling Queen with a low chance of being fooled, making her the most useful out of the working Townsponies.

Professional investigator
The Gumshoe is able to identify a certain pony's roles accurately albeit her suggestions can be time-consuming to unravel one by one. She is also able to discover something that "doesn't add up" in her investigations, signifying her intelligence for not being easily fooled.

Giving options/unsure
While it isn't a weakness per se, the Gumshoe's uncertainty in confirming certain roles can be a waste of time as the player has to go through another night in order to confirm one's roles (unless one or two other suggested roles are already dead).

Flavor Text

 * "Got a real negative vibe off this pony. Kind of gloomy. Might be in the jailor trade, or just one of those miserable Mules." -Gumshoe's Jailor or Mule investigation result
 * "So I got you orders and set out to investigate {first name} {last name} just like you wanted. I'm going to have to tell ya - that happens to be my own incognito! Let's keep it on the down-low, huh?" -Gumshoe revealing herself

Appearance
Just like any of the other working Townsponies, the Gumshoe's box identity is colored grey/black.
