Personality: If one wanted to be positive about Robert Baratheon, one could say that is gregarious and robust. If one wanted to be truthful, one would say that he’s a fat ass that likes booze, whores, and fighting, and especially likes it when these things are combined in any fashion. He is a simple man who enjoys simple things, like hosting elaborate tourneys and eating entire boars.
He was an excellent soldier in his youth, when he led his armies to overthrown the Mad King; however, years of hard partying turned him soft, and the only one who didn’t notice this was Robert himself. Though he often made self-depreciating jokes at his own expense, he never fully grasped that he just wasn’t capable of what he used to able to do with ease anymore. He continued to try to compete in tourneys where he was clearly outmatched by younger, stronger opponents, and insisted on taking down marks by himself during hunts. This often led to him getting in over his head, and helped him along to his death.
Robert wasn’t a very good king; the best even his best friend could say about him was that he wasn’t very nearly as bad as the king who broiled people alive. He delegated nearly all the major decisions in actually running the kingdom to his council, and only truly got involved when said decisions involved spending massive amounts of money on tourneys and sending assassins after pregnant teenage girls. He left his land crippled by debt and on the brink of a terrible war, basically ruining everything for everyone.
The only reason Robert even remained king, instead of just fucking off to become a sellsword in a foreign land, was because of his deep distrust of the Lannisters, especially the ones he had married and (in his mind) begot. For such a friendly man, he is capable of some quite intense grudges and blood feuds, and the only group of people he hates more than Lannisters are the Targaryens: From the oldest spinster to the youngest babe, he blames each and every one of them for directly causing the death of his beloved Lyanna. Though he gave up on his hunt for the (supposedly) last Targaryen, Daenerys, on his deathbed, there is still a deep-set bitterness there.

Character Name: Aligula Series: Blood Blockade Battlefront Timeline: Post-episode 12 Canon Resource Links:Canon itself, but since that doesn't really get into everything... have a history too:
Honestly, the pasts of most of the Thirteen Kings—the crime syndicate that Aligula belongs to, even if "crime syndicate" is actually a super loose phrase to describe them—are shrouded in mystery. Aligula is no exception; there's not much to go on for her aside from what she's told Leonardo Watch in episode 5.
Which is that once upon a time, she fell in love with a criminal named Deldro Brody; he was a real bad boy, always in trouble, and he loved her, too. Unfortunately, while she loved him... she didn't love his looks half as much. They just weren't doing it for her, you know? Definitely not turning her on at all! And then along came Dog Hummer (or Hammer, depending who you ask): a total hunk! A pretty boy ex-tra-or-di-naire. So what's a poor girl to do when the love of her life and the man of her dreams are two separate people?
She liquefies one of them, hollows out the other, and puts them together in one happy package! (Note: the links are just a dramatization fit for human consumption using ketchup and a lunch container.)
So yes, in episode 5 (where we first really get to see her), it's this man she's after when she picks up Leo (picks up being the key phrase here: he asks if she's holding him hostage to get what she wants, and she refutes him angrily; you get back your things with your own power, because there wouldn't be any point if you accepted help from others). She talks at length at how it's important in love to keep pushing, because those that push the hardest win, and... she gossips with Leo about his love life. Or really,he tells her about it, and she gets mad that he's got such a boring one.
Her plans fall through thanks to Libra, the secret organization Leo belongs to, as well as Deldro & Hummer's combined efforts to stop her. (Note: Deldro definitely adores her and would love to get back together with her! Hummer, not so much, but he's willing to make sacrifices if Deldro really wants to go. ...he gets called "odd" for that.)
Episode 9 has her return; she's hanging out at Coney Island with two of her fellow kings: Femt, the King of Depravity, and the one we'll never actually have a name-name for, the King of Despair. She sasses, she snarks, but the main thing of the episode is at the end, where she reveals she's got a pair of glasses the King of Despair'd needed for his plans. They're special ones that can control the All-Seeing Eyes of the Gods (or seem to, going by the last episodes), and she's been working on them for the King of Despair, apparently. Because friends who aren't friends but still hang out together because they're a posse do stuff for each other.
(Besides, she's interested in seeing how his plans work out.)
Her appearance in episode 12 is minor; she's at a Halloween party her fellow kings are throwing, while the King of Despair is out shuffling around and making a mess of Hellsalem's Lot City. She's disgusted by the zombies (she says they're freaking her out), but accepts their existence when Femt reminds her it's Halloween and they're practically a prerequisite; they're a distraction most of all, and since it's the Kings' show, they deserve some entertainment.
...and that's really pretty much it. She's a minor character among minor characters.
Original Character Background: n/a
Personality: There are a lot of very unkind words for Aligula: obsessive, crazy, shallow. They're all pretty on point, too.
As her title of "Queen of Monomania" would suggest (with monomania meaning "exaggerated or obsessive enthusiasm for or preoccupation with one thing"), Aligula's very... dedicated, to put it nicely. During the series, her focus is mainly on getting her (ex?) boyfriend/sweetheart/best experiment ever back: the combined body of Deldro Brody & Dog Hummer. She tears the city apart for this, she's... really something else. It's not just about him being the perfect combination of a hot body and a liquefied criminal, oh no, not at all! If asked, actually, she'd say it was for love.
...which is her main, never-ending obsession. No one loves love like Aligula loves love; she's a fan of love stories, to the point where she uses them as small talk and gets more than a little pissed if you tease her with details about one but don't have a proper ending or plan of action for it. Despite her quick temper, she ends up being incredibly supportive about romance and things of that sort! Especially if you're serious about it; she doesn't have any time for shallow, petty stories.
Even though really, her own is pretty much that, because Aligula doesn't do feelings properly. She's very excitable, very much the "overly cheerful, go get what you want" one of her immediate group, but... She fell in love with a guy because he was a bad boy, and she fell in love with another one because he was hot, and then she decided that she didn't want to have to deal with the drama of choosing between them so she just put them together in one little Deldro & Hummer package. Like many of the other Kings, she lives for leisure and pleasure, and she just... doesn't do anything past that. She gets mad, yes, and she can sometimes be sincere when she says your love life's oh-so-sad... but she's incapable of feeling any remorse or thinking about how her actions might actually affect someone.
She's inconsiderate, shallow as hell, and pretty fucking predictable when it comes to how she's going to react about something, is what I'm getting at here.
That doesn't mean she's stupid, though; Aligula's shown to be quite clever! Not everyone can come face-to-face with the powerful and legendary All-Seeing Eyes of the God and be able to either make or get their hands on glasses that can essentially control them—the first one is implied to be what she's done, and given her track record with successfully turning one man into pure blood, hollowing out another, and putting them together while they're awake and aware with stunning results... I'm inclined to agree.
Furthermore, on her name/intro card that comes up in the anime, there's "genius" as one of the kanji—beneath it is "innocent," though. Straightforward and frank and not actually that judgmental (except over your life choices with your love life), Aligula's much like a child: she's objective on things not pertaining to her obsessions, though honestly, that's probably more because she's not half as interested in them. That doesn't mean she isn't going to listen and put in her own two cents though: she's peanut gallery personified when she's in a group situation, and she's the carefree friend you go to to forget your worries when it comes to one-on-one conversation.
She'll also be the friend that literally slaps some sense into you or kicks your ass about something. Aligula doesn't do many negative feelings, sincerely or otherwise, but then there's anger. It makes sense, too: if you can't get angry about something, can you say you truly care about it? (...Ignoring the fact that Aligula's never cared about anyone aside from herself a day in her life; she obviously doesn't care about what either Deldro or Hummer want or feel, after all.) And, like the righteous anger of a god scorned, she gets... rather violent at times, particularly if you're testing her patience or if you make her carry a conversation. It's not nice to make girls do that, after all, especially when it's about something as irrevocably important as love.

Character Name: Madison 'Maddie' Rocca Series: Power Rangers Mystic Force Timeline: One year after the Power Rangers Operation Overdrive episodes Once A Ranger parts 1 and 2, so Madison has only been a Rnager for two years. Canon Resource Links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Rangers_Mystic_Force
Power Rangers is a series where nearly every year there's a villain or villainess of some type trying to take over or destroy the Earth. Mystic Force is the fourteenth season in the series, with this team focusing on magic and magic users. The main focus is towards the Red Ranger Nick, and his interactions with everyone else. It is stated that the other four core Rangers are established as friends. Madison and Xander were the ones who had to be pushed into joining the White Ranger Udonna (later we learn that she is Nick's mother as Nick never knew his real parents) while the future Yellow and Pink Rangers Chip and Vida joined without question.
If you require more info, I would be happy to supply it.
Original Character Background: Not Applicable
Personality: At first glance, Madison Rocca is what she appears to be: a shy and quiet young woman with a passion for film making. However this is only a small part of her, as her sister Vida knows full well. She is very reliable and loyal, through and through. Just friendly enough to strangers, (if her attitude towards Nick is any indication) even if she should be a little more cautious towards her own safety. She's a lot more studious than her friends and is the last to pick or join in a fight. She is far from a coward however, and the thought of letting down her friends and sister does weigh on her at times as she does lement to the other Rangers that when push comes to shove she's far from the strongest or the most active.
She's very much a supportive Power Ranger, friend, and sister to her allies. Madison doesn't appear to have much socialization in the beginning as we only know about her sister Vida and two friends Chip Thorn and Xander Bly. In the one time she actually tries to be more outgoing, she tries to anwkwardly flirt with a guy and ends up saving him by getting in the way of an attack by a monster who promptly turns her to stone. (she gets better) She beocmes slightly more outgoing but that has more to do with the people she knows rather than an ongoing desire to socialize.
By series end she goes from barely associating with anyone outside her four friends, to there being hints she had romantic feelings for one of her fellow Rangers. Maddie is more social, as evidenced in an episode where their resident cat-genie friend Jenji ran away from the Rootcore base despite what would happen to him (he would die if kept from his lamp for too long...) she was able to reach his heart and convince him to return. This was a turning point in mid-series as cemented the idea that Maddie could be couragous without changing herself.
And at the end when Red Ranger Nick wanted to give up in the face of their enemy The Master's power, Madison stubbornly refused to let him do so as he was the one whop got all them this far. In short, why she may came up as a rtaher quiet woman she is also couragious without the recklessness of her sister Vida. Her relationship with Vida isn't very well pronounced on the series. They seem to be very close in age, and while Madison proclaims herself as 'the sister with the commen sense' it's hard to tell who is the older one. The more mature and levelheaded one is clearly Madison though.
Pokémon Information Affiliation: Trainer Starter: Female Froakie named Mira Password: Atomic Fireball
Ever since she had become part of the Power Rangers Mystic Force, Madison had more or less gotten used to strange occurances to herself and her friends. She had givne rather quickly when she realized that none of the others were here: not her sister, or Nick, or Clare or Udonna. However being in an unfamiliar place, given a strange 'Pokemon' and told very little how and why she was here. Despite being very uncomfortable with her new partner, a Water type frog called a Froakie she kept walking to the closest neighboring town and hopefully she would encounter someone who could explain things clearer than the ones in 'New Bark Town'. The female Froakie had to be placed in Madison's backpack as Madison was still freaked out by the big frog despite her willingness to keep said Froakie with her.
"Look I'm sorry, but you refused to go back in that ball, and this is the best I'm willing to do." Madison explained to the blue frog as they sat down on a large rock to take a break. "I can't help it that I do not like frogs very much, even if you're technically not a frog but what the people call a Pokemon." She pulled out the Pokemon guide that was given to her by 'Mom', and started studying it. After a quick skim, Madison found what she looking for: the entry on Pokemon 'Evolution'. In it she read to herself, when Pokemon reach certain parameters (Elemental Stones, leveling up being two examples...) they undergo a process called evolving. They change their appearances and even their temperment/mood as well as sometimes their typing and moves they could learn.
"Hmm... It says on this Pokegear that you Water Pokemon, and you're classified as the Bubble Frog Pokemon. You have this bubble things on your neck called 'frubbles' and they help deflect attacks and lower the damage they do." Before the Froakie could interject, (indeed, she barely has time to say 'Fro') before a small bird Pokemon landed on the ground. "Huh. That bird Pokemon almsot looks like a woodpecker." With a cry of 'Pikipek!' the bird proceded to go after the backpack's food supply, upon which didn't make the Froakie happy one bit. (Or Madison even)
As he or she charged for the food laid out, Froakie gives a strong Bubble knocking the bird off course. With a cry of pain, the bird Pokemon was veered off course and landed in a nearby wooded clearing. "Okay um, do you give up?" With fire in their eyes, flew off the ground then proceded to Peck Froakie with its beak. Ready for this, the Froakie gave a small Pound as she jumped over the Pikipek by leaping on a nearby tree branch. "I'm guessing that bird won't leave us alone untill we knock it out or capture them... Okay then. Pokeball, Go! " With an easy time of the ball sakinging once, twice and finally a ping after the third shake. Picking up Pikipek's ball, Madison gave a look to Froakie. "I guess we have a new friend. Look, I can't promise much. But if you're willing to work with me, I will do the best I can for you and Pikipek here!" Froakie thought about this and then tugged on Madison's pant leg, signaling an agreement.
Madison gave a small smile. "Great! Now how do you feel about a name? Something strong like you are." Frokie gave a nod, and allowed Madison to continue. "How about Mira? You like it?" The newly named Mira apparently did so like it at that, and gave her a grin. "I don't know what's going on really, but at least things might be looking up now!"

Character Name: Ferid Bathory Series: Seraph of the End: Vampire's Reign Timeline: Chapter 42, after calling the Progenitor Council in regards to Krul Tepes's "betrayal" and asking for aid against the humans. Canon Resource Links:Here!!
Personality: Ferid Bathory is, in the simplest word, a bitch.
On the outside, he's polite and friendly to many he meets; in particular humans, who vampires don't normally have a strong opinion on unless it's about their status as "livestock". He finds them interesting. Behind his charming face and frivolous attitude, though, lies a man of cunning intelligence, who's been carrying a plan for over two thousand years and has pulled the strings behind several others hundreds of years in advance.
To say that Ferid is patient would be an understatement.
As any vampire is, he is arrogant and prideful, but unlike many of his kind it isn't to a fault -- he's wise enough to toe lines and never go over, though when he gets close he backtracks immediately with a dismissal of their anger, saying he'd only been joking. Ferid admires and envies humanity's greed for all things, because vampires themselves have no desire for anything but blood, but acknowledges that it is humanity's greed that will be their downfall one day; it's also what scares vampires most about humans when they bother to think of them as anything but livestock, because humans will always seek something more powerful while vampires are content so long as they have a place to feed.
As a human, he had always been a rather intelligent child, bored easily due to his excellent memory and ability to memorize things, and that followed him into vampiredom -- he often does things just for kicks, basically, going so far as to leading children into a hopeful situation of escape and then slaughtering them all after seeing despair embrace them as they realize it had been a trap: a real sadist. He often starts "little games" such as these over the hundreds of years towards some purpose of his own choosing, ultimately to keep himself entertained in his long life because (in his own words) "living forever gets boring".
Playing triple agent is also something he does to keep himself entertained: as a vampire, as an informant for the humans, and for himself, ultimately. Ferid calls many people his "friends" but nearly none of them would one, agree to that, and two, actually be considered by him as a friend. In fact, the only one that comes to mind in any regard is Crowley, and that's because he technically "sired" the vampire with stolen blood over his own.
(Crowley, for the record, claims it'll take 800 years to be friends with someone like Ferid.)
Manipulative and with time to spare, Ferid is extremely dangerous once he's got his footing. He's quick to get the lay of situations and turn them to his own advantage, going so far as to blackmail others without a second thought, gaining allies and cutting them away as he pleases. Even the more powerful, the more authoritative aren't above his reach -- he'll simply find a stepladder to help himself on to to put the metaphorical rope around their neck. And all of this is below a face of flattery and frivolous words, with habits called "eccentric" by his peers and an attitude that seems a fool with no designs his own.

Character Name: Dorian Pavus Series: Dragon Age: Inquisition Timeline: Following the What Pride Had Wrought quest. Canon Resource Links:Here.. I will be playing Dorian as if the Inquisitor sided with the mages, and that they were good friends.
Personality: On the surface, Dorian can come across as vain, superficial, and extremely flirtatious. To an outsider, it may well seem that this is simply all there is to his character. He isn’t particularly fond of letting people in. His family, particularly his father, have kept him under lock and key for a good portion of his life, not particularly keen on letting the wild and rebellious mage taint their image. This ultimately culminated in his father attempting to use blood magic in order to change Dorian (particularly his homosexuality).
Throughout his life, relationships were fleeting, if they could even be consider as such, and only a select few ever made it into Dorian’s inner circle.
Perhaps Dorian might have continued on that way, bitter but unchanging, if not for Alexius. Through his unstable time magic, and his affiliation with the Venatori (people who believe that the Imperium is the better, rightful rulers of Thedas), Dorian’s course was changed. It was Alexius who, if unwittingly, set Dorian on a course to meet with the Inquisitor and, ultimately, better himself.
It is through the Inquisitor that Dorian opens up some. His homeland and his love for what it could be is central to his character. He often condemns the darker machinations of the Imperium, though he initially feels no need to change it. His adventures only fuel his criticisms, but also finally serve as his motivation. If not for the Inquisitor, he would never have made the first step and made his decision to return to Tevinter.
Make no mistake, of course, you can take the man from the Vints, but you can't take the Vint from the man. Despite the fact that he's making a decent effort to fit in and do right by the south, he still has his pretentious moments. As he puts it with Varric, "I left my homeland, I didn't up and turn peasant."
Strengths and Weaknesses: +Magic: Undoubtedly his greatest strength. Dorian is the product of painstakingly arranged bloodlines. However, though this is a strength, it could easily prove to be a crippling weakness. Without his magic in the Poke-verse he could find himself without his biggest crutch. Having never experienced life without magic, he will likely be incredibly bewildered upon arriving in this new world. +Well-learned/read:Being a noble has granted Dorian a great many luxuries, the ability and time to read being one of them. He spends much of his time in Skyhold reading, attempting to learn what he can in regards to Corypheus. His time with Alexius and his proficiency with an unstable magic proves his capabilities in learning and applying his knowledge. +Charismatic: He’s a charmer, through and through. It might not work on everyone, but Dorian has a way with words and isn’t afraid to use it to win people over. That said, certain things will break this, such as being emotionally attached to a situation (in the case of meeting with his father). +/- Silver-tongued: As mentioned above, Dorian has a tendency to talk himself both into and out of trouble. His snarky nature has gotten him into trouble, and often puts him at odds with those who could cause him significant difficulties. +/-: Fixated: People should be free to love who they want. The arrogance of the Imperium needs to be halted. These, amongst many other things, are concepts that Dorian has been centered his life and current career around. That he is so passionate about righting the wrongs of his people is very much a very good thing. However, the reasons behind it, the family and friends that he’s been robbed of by the ways of the Imperium, have also flung him into a blind fervor. -Independent: With no one to rely on or trust in Tevinter, Dorian spent much of his time alone. Though he engaged in frequent bouts of debauchery, he never settled with anyone. For most of his life, he bounced between the arms of lovers. When he did settle in with Alexius, he flourished, only to be spurned by his teacher, and later betrayed by his family. Being close with people has only proved to be troublesome. Though not part of Dorian’s on worldstate, this comes out during the quest to reclaim is amulet. He strongly opposed to the Inquisitor’s help. -Arrogant: Certainly he plays it off like a joke at times, but he does mean some of what he says. Moreover, he’s very convinced in some of his ways. He believes that slavery is right, and becomes somewhat haughty if disagreed with. -Guarded: While not necessarily a fault on its own, Dorian takes this to a new level. His concern over how he and his relationships will be perceived (both in the case of the Inquisitor and if he is involved with Bull). This can lead to him doubting their relationships, chaste or no, for fear of his reputation (or their reputations) causing problems with one another.

Ten years have passed since the end of her series. Yayoi has grown into a strong, famous and capable woman. She is a rising star in manga and has created her Miracle Peace series. But the fame and fortune has gotten to her a little, as she tries very hard not to lose sight of her goals and dreams. It is here that Yayoi has become disillusioned by her work, having lost the memory of her father who inspired her to become the strongest spring she could be. Ten years later, Yayoi is planning on ending her manga, in memory of her father. But before she can make her decision, a fan sends her a letter encouraging her not to give up, and Marchenland is up against it's most dangerous assault from the revived Joker who has absorbed what remains of Pierrot's power. It is here that Yayoi needs to step up with her friends and fellow Pretty Cure, and become the Eternal Smile Pretty Cure to keep their dreams from crashing down around them.
Personality: Yayoi is mature, smiling woman who hides her discomfort down inside, but she is still prone to shedding some tears later when pressed. When she was younger, she was known as the class crybaby, having the ability to break out into tears at the drop of a hat. However, she has always had a fondness for manga, presumably internet activities and browsing fansites, watching superhero shows on television, harmless pranks (although as demonstrated in an episode can get out of hand), movies and other major media productions. However, she had very low self-esteem and finds herself comparing herself to a lot of people for her shortcomings. While she has now achieved her dream of being a mangaka, she point is at an impasse, and is ready to give up or bend to the whim of her publisher and Editor. She is trying to make a decision, and would gladly welcome a break to remind herself of what's important in life.
As Cure Peace, Yayoi felt that she needed to become a strong superheroine, and coupled with her fearless attitude towards various things such as bugs (which she finds cute) and ability to be amazing in combat when she sets her mind to it, Yayoi was every inch the underdog character of the group. Even if the challenge sent her running away screaming, she would still find a way to triumph.
Yayoi is also a woman who likes fun and has a good relationship with her friends and mother who shares her love for pranks. Ever mindful of being a non-hurtful person, Yayoi is the type of girl who wouldn't get into fights willingly outside of being a Precure.
Strengths: Combat-wise, Yayoi is incredibly strong. Her power set is not only flexible but able to be mutable and utilized in tangent with other abilities, resolving in a imagination limitation for her team on a whole. She hosts team attacks with her friends but also has a personal "Ultra" mode outside her usual Princess Mode with the others, where she can call down kilometer-thick blasts of lightning and absorb attacks and redirect its force. Usual reductions apply for this, as with the overall size of lightning attacks. Obviously this ability won't work as magical power is turned off.
Yayoi is incredibly creative. She is able to think on her feet, adapt to situations and manages to overcome adversity with a personal core of strength that seems unheard of in such a short woman. But Yayoi's biggest strength is that she is loving. She loves her friends, and will by extension her team, and anyone who does right by her.
As for mundane things, she is really good with computers, media, making and building toys, memorizing facts and games, bowling, and less so with cooking. She is a mangaka which means she can draw really well, and her story-telling skill is remarkable. She wishes to be an mangaka when she gets older, and devotes her dream so that it will bring happiness and peace to the world.
With her dream realized, Yayoi has become the famous mangaka she wants to be, and her art is beloved around the world. She is now finally good with math, having pushed herself harder than before after graduating middle school with her friends. Many of her traits still apply with her strengths and her weaknesses.
Weaknesses: As an adult, this comes with adult anxieties. She manages to worry about her friends who has their own problems, and the nonstop parade of villains who come into their world to do it harm. Yayoi is a paragon of justice, but even she has her breaking point when she is trying to keep her loved ones away from harm. Her biggest weakness is that as a adult, her memory of her deceased father has faded, and it causes her the biggest anxiety.
She feels very much like she needs to create her world for others to experience, and can get a little frustrated when others don't understand why she gets so enthusiastic about fictional things. Art and storytelling is her life, and she feels that losing herself in her art is one of her problems. She gets so wrapped up in storytelling that she forgets she's living a real life.

It seemed that being in this world was going to be an adventure.
Taking a deep breath, Yayoi slapped her face a couple of times, much to the concern of the Pichu that stood at her feet. "Pi?" it inquired curiously, tilting her head.
"I'm fine Pichu, just a little nervous." said Yayoi with a reassuring smile. "I want to make sure that we're both ready for this adventure."
The little mouse pokemon laughed as she ascended Yayoi's shoulder and Yayoi grinned. "That's the spirit!" Exclaimed Yayoi. "We should get going. I only remember the basics of this world after all, so I want to make certain I know exactly where I'm going."
Opening her map, Yayoi scanned the roads and tapped it with a finger. "This way. Let's go this way!"
"Chu, pi, chu!"
Yayoi grinned as she started heading down the road for Kanto's Route 1. It seemed like the best direction to go, as she tromped bravely into the tall grass, the bgm ringing in the background as she hummed along.
"Pokemon, gotta catch em all, la la la, pokemon!" Singsonged Yayoi as Pichu chanted along with her as they tromped through the grass with eager strides. This was an adventure ready to come to her. She had played the original games and was eager and excited. Pet monsters was a sub genre of the shounen hero types and Yayoi was ready to indulge. She had her partner, a adorable Pichu and Yayoi pumped a fist in time with her singing. "We're going to be the very best like no one ever was!"
It might look funny, a grown woman acting this way. But Yayoi finally felt lighter. Even just for a while, she would learn to be free. And soar like she had done years ago.

Character Name: Pacifica Northwest Series: Gravity Falls Timeline: Post-Series Canon Resource Links:Pacifica @ the Gravity Falls Wiki
Personality: Mabel at one point describes Pacifica as a walking one-dimensional bleached blonde valley girl stereotype. And for the character we see during the first season? That description is entirely accurate. Seriously, Pacifica is not a nice girl at first. She's rich and uses that wealth constantly to make herself more popular. Anyone who doesn't meet her standards for coolness is viciously mocked. It takes her about two seconds to make an enemy out of Mabel, despite the other girl being nothing but friendly to her at first.
Really, she's the classic rich mean girl in a lot of ways. Her attitude is nearly always smug and condescending, with lots of sarcastic quips ready to insult other people. Often times she gets downright petty, insulting or showing up people she dislikes without any provocation. She acts superior to just about everyone, including people she barely even knows. In addition to being arrogant, she's horribly competitive, almost obsessed with winning. Even a silly contest for a party crown is treated very seriously, to the point where she intimidates (and even bribes) people into voting for her so she wins. Second place is for losers like Mabel, not her.
A lot of this behavior starts to make sense once you take a look at her family. Pacifica is constantly pushed to be perfect by her parents. When they drop her off for her mini golf match against Mabel, they tell her that winning is everything. Her father especially warns her not to lose. Again, despite this not even being an official competition in any way. They don't care enough to stay and watch, however. Only her victory matters, nothing else. When someone is pushed to be this perfect, it's no wonder they treat victory as a requirement in everything.
If that wasn't enough already, Pacifica's parents go above and beyond in ensuring their daughter does exactly as they say, by using Pavlovian conditioning on her in the form of a bell. As soon as the bell is ringed, Pacifica goes quiet, looking both uncomfortable and fearful. It's a stark difference from her usual confident, snooty attitude. If anyone insults her in any form, she reacts in a very hostile way, quickly insulting them back or worse. But she's definitely not like this around her parents. Even when she's being chased by a dangerous ghost, Pacifica refuses to do anything that would make her parents mad at her.
Dangerous situations seem to bring out the best in Pacifica, as the first sign that there was more to her was after being nearly killed at the mini golf course. She actually accepts Mabel's apology, despite the fact that she could have died and acts downright civil towards her on the ride home. Though once the whole affair is over she still calls Mabel and her friends dorks, their intense rivalry seems gone after this. The second time we see Pacifica act decently is when she and Dipper go on their ghost hunting adventure in the mansion. At first, the two are rude to each other, but by the time they've escaped and trapped the ghost, they're downright friendly. She's even disappointed when Dipper leaves the party and then overjoyed when she thinks he's come to rejoin it.
Despite how proud she was of her family early on and how she lorded her status as a Northwest over other people, she ends up being very ashamed of her family once she finds out about all the terrible things they've done over the years. When Dipper calls her "just another link in the world's worst chain", she takes it very hard. But with some encouragement from Dipper later, she turns this shame into something positive by letting everyone into the Northwest's fancy party. As she herself says, their whole family name is broken and she's going to fix it. Defying her parents in such a way, while they were watching her, was very difficult for her. The fact that she was able to do it at all proves that she's a lot braver than she first seems.
It's pretty clear that most of Pacifica's worst behavior comes entirely from how her parents raised her. When she's hanging out with Dipper and starts acting less like the girl her parents want her to be, she's much more laid-back and friendly. But the effects of her upbringing are still pretty clear, as Pacifica doesn't seem to get how ordinary people work. The concept of sharing is entirely foreign to her and she also doesn't seem to get that you can't just use money to solve everything. It's very likely that she hasn't had many real friends in her life, if at all. But when she hangs around someone who's nice to her for long enough, she seems to warm up to them, as she did with Mabel and Dipper. Even if she still has a lot to learn about being a good person, she's definitely trying by now.
In the end, she's not such a stereotype after all.

Victory Road Sample: [Anyone watching this post is immediately greeted by this young blonde girl quickly checking that everything is recording right, and then scoffing. Pacifica is wasting no time setting the tone here.]
Okay, so. I think the part where I ask for an explanation is super obvious, so I won't even bother. I'm sure someone will give me an explanation for this. And it better be good! Seriously, I've dealt with enough crazy already, let's get this over with quickly and I won't have to sue anyone.
Now. On to other important matters. [There's a beat, then Pacifica taps against the gear, which you can't exactly see, but it's audible.] So is this like the latest model, or what? Don't get me wrong. Loving the color, I so approve. But if there's something better, I need to know right away so I can upgrade.
God, if it turns out this is like last year's model, it'll just be embarrassing. Can you even imagine? No, I'm going to take care of this potential disaster right now.
[Another pause. She glances at something off to the side, off-screen, before looking back.]
...Also, there's a little tree ghost following me and it's making me super uncomfortable, what do I do about that? I kinda thought I was done with ghosts.

Character Name: Neopolitan Series: RWBY Timeline: Post Volume 3 Canon Resource Links:What we know about Neo so far. Which is just what has been made known in the show but her background history is still unknown. We still don’t know her connection to Roman is.
Personality:
Neopolitan is short in stature, but not when it comes to patience. She enjoys toying with her enemies and doesn’t mind tiring them out before giving them a finishing blow. There is definitely a ruthless side to her, as she isn’t afraid of taking advantage of a fallen enemy. All is fair in war, as they say. But never let it be known that Neo can’t handle herself when up against an enemy. Her fighting skills leave her quite confident, and rightfully so. She can easily take on Yang, who is probably the best hand-to-hand fighter so far. During her fight with Ruby, however, Neo is shown to underestimate the enemy, at least in terms of how clever they can be. She’s observed how Ruby fights enough to know she can take her, but Neo hasn’t observed how much ingenuity Ruby possesses. Although Neo knows she’s a capable fighter, she does know when she’s outmatched, as shown when she was about to give a killing strike to an unconscious Yang but Raven stepped in to save her. Upon seeing Raven, Neo made a quick escape. She obviously knows the importance of self-preservation.
Despite putting her safety first, Neo is loyal to her comrades. Mostly to Roman, though, but she’s loyal to the cause they’re working towards. She doesn’t have a reason to be disloyal so far, and the other antagonists seem to not have a need to start friction with her. Perhaps it’s knowing that the quiet ones are the ones to watch for is what keeps them at bay, or maybe she actually gets along with them (but maybe not Mercury because who gets along with him???). Who really knows. Or perhaps she puts business before personal. But it really is unsettling that she never talks. It’s hard to read your opponent if they never say anything, which gives her an advantage in a fight. Even if Neo could talk, she probably wouldn’t waste time with words, anyway. They don’t get a job done, and she’s all about getting things done.

[ Two mismatched eyes, one pink and one brown, make up the majority of the screen currently. Neo is fiddling with the device, getting a hang of it. Once she notices it recording, she pulls away, revealing a girl with half pink and brown hair with a few white stripes on the pink side. Her smile is pleasant at first, but it fades as she notices something and looks around. She quirks an eyebrow and looks around, as if looking for something. In reality, she’s trying to listen for something. She’s currently outside, and the buildings around her seem pretty basic to most city buildings. But there’s something that she thinks is amiss…
Text scrolls across the bottom of the screen as she turns back to type. ]
What’s with the music?
[ Nevermind the fact that she’s in a whole new world without her own gear and powers. This music is atrocious. That is the true crime here! ]
