Heroes & Villains The DC Animated Universe - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

Aquamarina 

A young woman from Dakota City, Maria was among the many unsuspecting individuals exposed to the mutagenic Quantum Vapor.  This substance caused physical alterations and the development of metahuman powers.  Maria was bestowed hydrokinesis, the ability to generate and mentally control water.  She was additionally able to transform her entire body into a watery substance highly impervious to harm.

Maria chose to use her newfound abilities to become a super villain, taking the alias of ‘Aquamarina.’  She joined Ebon’s Meta-Breed and had numerous altercations with the heroic Static.  She later began a romantic relationship with her fellow villain, Hotstreak.   

Sometime later, Aquamarina was apprehended and convinced to participate in trials conducted by Dr. Todd who was working on a means of reversing the effects of the Quantum Vapor.  Maria agreed, hoping to be reunited with her family.  Hotstreak, meanwhile, interceded and attempted to rescue Maria, ultimately causing the experimental process to go awry

Aquamarina ended up bonding with the water of the bay, becoming an enormous, watery creature.  Out of control, she threatened to destroy all of Dakota.  

Working together, Static, Gear and Hotstreak discovered a means of administering Dr. Todd’s cure through electrical conduction.  It worked and Maria was returned to her original, human state. 

Actresses Erika Velez and Yeni Alvarez each provided the voice for Aquamaria with the former villainess first appearing in the eighth episode of the second season of Static Shock, ‘Bad Stretch.’

hiii i have more, this time it's depressing!

so rhodonny had a childhood friend named aquamarina, they were really close, and rhodonny even had a crush on her that she thought she'd have the time to eventually muster up the courage to tell her about. she was afraid at first because she didn't want to potentially ruin their friendship. unfortunately, howard came in and took rhodonny away before she had the chance to mention it. aqua had no idea what happened to her and could only assume the worst. but if your friend supposedly dies, no matter how sad it is, life still moves on.

by the time rhodonny finally escaped that room, it had been years and years later. she quickly goes to find aquamarina, and thinks she sees her, but it turns out to be aqua's great-grandchild. she soon learns that aqua died of old age.

rhodonny visits her grave and can do nothing but cry, lamenting on how they were supposed to grow old together.

this is aquamarina, by the way! also drawn in ms paint

rhodonny lore

so rhodonny (the demon with red hair i posted) isnt a demon in the traditional sense! she actually was a regular human before!

so what happened was that a person named howard was so afraid of everything having the possibility to kill them that they decided the best way to avoid death was to become a lich! but they messed up the ritual. when it called for a human sacrifice, something went wrong and the human sacrifice became the phylactery, instead. this human being rhodonny. it changed her physically, giving her those horns and tail and making her immortal, but not as immortal as howard had become.

to combat this, howard decides to lock her away in a room for the rest of time. it's a nice room and she can do whatever she wants as long as she doesnt leave the room, but nobody wants to spend the rest of eternity in a single room, no matter how nice it is. so rhodonny, after a good amount of years, eventually escapes!

howard, now instead scared of someone else dying instead of themself (since that would also result in the only way they can now die), is on the search for her to bring her back to her room. however, they are scared of anything outside the safety of their mansion, and so are having a very hard time searching for her, even with the help of their skeleton thralls (skelethralls).

meanwhile, rhodonny is having a great time seeing the sights! it's been so long since she's seen the sky...she never wants to go back thank u for reading! here's a drawing of howard i did on ms paint btw

absolute dork of a lich (still extremely powerful, though, just never does anything with that power)

I think that in CF, Aquamarina could be like Lapis’s old toxic boss, and Topaz her secretary.

This way, Aquamarine would have a similar demanding relationship with Lapis that Fipper has with Allison, and Topaz would be submissive with her, like Aaron.

Oh yeah I could see that. I could also see CF Lapis punting her pint sized shitty boss off into the sun good for her

Octopus up

Somethings bugging Marina.

Ao3 link https://archiveofourown.org/works/53580643

Oneshot. Inspired by ‘The Mouse’ by AquaMarina (LittlePandemonium ). Full story under the cut.

Tap tap tap.

"Hmm? Oh, hey Marina.” Troy said.  Stingray’s tailless mermaid was hovering in the doorway to the standby lounge. “How’d the meeting go?" 

 Crab. UP. Surface immediately.

"…pardon?"

Crab, Marina 'said' again. Then, something Troy wasn’t sure quite what sign she was making.  Surface immediately. UP. Look.

The unknown sign again.

UP. Crab. up. Crab up. Not crab crab.

The unknown sign again.

 Up.

Captain or not, Troy was still confused. They'd taught Marina some of the WASP international diving symbols, to try and better understand her. It hadn't worked on land so far. Or so Troy had thought.

 UP UP UP, Marina signed, more urgently. Look.

He looked up. But he couldn’t see anything.

"What goes on, Marina?" Troy said. Then turned to the lieutenants for an answer. By now Atlanta, also on break, had also looked up from her magazine. And with a nudge, Phone's lifted his cap from over his eyes where he'd been dozing. Marina repeated what she’d said. But the NCOs both were as baffled as Troy.

“I thought Marina was supposed to be in a meeting with the commander? And the barrier reef preservation guy?” Phones said.

"I guess it’s finished early. But what did she say?" Troy asked. "That was 'crab', right? Any idea what she means?"

Atlanta and Phone exchanged just as confused looks.

“Crab. And squid?” Atlanta suggested. “I think it was squid.”

Marina hesitated. Made a so-so gesture. Then repeated, Squid. Squid UP. Crab. up. Crab up. Squid. UP. Look. Surface.

"Yeah, that’s squid, just the wrong hand. Squid, up?" Phones agreed. Marina nodded.

Atlanta asked, "Marina honey, what do you mean?"

Marina frowned. Thought about it. Then tried again, chucking in some charades and mines in.

"Looks like crab. Up?" Phones said. "You don’t mean Up like ‘foods up’? Crabsticks?”

Marina shook her head.

“Why would it be that?” Troy laughed.

“I thought Marina might have just seen what’s on the diner menu for today is all.” Phones defended. “You got any idea's skipper?"

Troy had to admit he didn’t.

UP. Look. Marina pointed again. When they looked there still wasn’t anything there. The guessing game continued.

“Err. Okay there’s an old movie called Up. Is that what you’re talking about? No, no not that.”

"Up. On the roof?”

"Or the sky? Something up in the sky?"

“Maybe it’s a cloud? Or a weird helicopter?”

Marina shook her head. Paused. This time when she said Up again, she raised her other hand. She looked at them. Looked at her hand. And put her hand flat above her head.

“Roof?”

“You said that ready. Upstairs?”

"Ceiling? Ceiling!”

“There’s a squid crab, on the ceiling?” Troy guessed.

Marina nodded relieved. Then frowned when Troy continued, "Marina, we don’t get squids on the ceiling. Or Crabs."

"We don’t. But they might." Phones quipped. "We don’t know what underwater pest control have to deal with!"

 Atlanta swatted at him with her magazine on the foot for that. (He shouldn’t have been propped up on the coffee table anyway.)

“Ow!”

Ceiling. Squid. Up. Marina insisted. Look!

“We’re not under the sea. There’s nothing there Marina. And we don’t need to worry about getting crabs. On the ceiling I mean.” Troy dismissed. Followed by a, "Hey!"

Marina had given up pointing and miming. And started pulling at Troy by the elbow, beckoning. They knew from experience she would give up that routine until followed.

"Okay, Okay I'm coming." Troy sighed, putting down his own magazine and grabbing his cap. Marina let go to allow him to get up then seized him again by his sleeve cuff.  "This better be something urgent though, Marina.”

The other two followed curiosity.

"So much for some quiet down time before the next patrols!" Phones chucked.

"Well, it has to be something.” Atlanta puzzled. “It’s not like Marina to make up stories, is it?"

“No, you’re right there, Atlanta.” Troy agreed.

“I believe her.” Phones nodded. “If Marina saw a squid or a crab, well then I guess we've a squid or crab in the building."

Up. Marina nodded. Squid Crab.

"Okay, I guess it may be worth investigating.” Troy said to the lieutenants. And to Marina still pulling him along at the wrist. “But I still don’t get what you mean by that. Slow down, you’re going to trip.”

“Or rip your shirt.” Atlanta sniffed.

But Marina hurried on. They were getting quite a few curious glances passing a few more offices and the other standby lounges.

“Anyone else feel kinda silly?” Troy grumbled as she took them down the stairs and through another corridor followed by more funny looks.

“I think we look like we’re going on a bear hunt.” Phones agreed. “Or a scooby doo bit.”

“At least it’s not a spooky ghost hunt then.” Atlanta replied.

“Maybe someone’s got a toy mascot on their desk or door. Is that it?” Troy guessed aloud. Marina shook her head.

“A poster?”  “One of the info videos?”  “Why would she be this worked up about those?”

“Where in the heck are you three trapsing off too?” someone else asked.

The gang paused. The guff tuff Commander Sam Shore had come out of a conference room they’d just passed. And was scowling up at them.

“To find a squid crab apparently, Sir.” Troy told him nonchalantly.

“Yeah. On the ceiling!” Phones added.

“What?” Sam said. 

Then leaning back in his chair, the Commander saw Marina was with them.

"Oh that! Marina, I told you not to worry about it.” the Commander dismissed. “Let housekeeping or a cleaner deal with it.”

Marina huffed. And even went so far as to scuff a webbed foot against the carpet, like someone might stomp their feet.

Not. No worries. Still there. Squid. Up. Look.

Troy Phones and Atlanta looked from one to another, and between Marina and the Commander, even more baffled.

“Why? Father, what is it?” Atlanta asked.

The commander only chuckled and turned back to his report.

“Go see what she’s found.” He said and waved them off. They didn’t get a chance to ask any further questions. Fisher came along to give the commander an urgent message. They went one way off together and Marina led them off the other other way, down another corridor.

“Alright so Marina was down here earlier in that conference room?” Troy said.

“I guess she and father would have come this way earlier rather than the stairs.” Atlanta agreed.

“Hence the roundabout route.”

“And then she saw a ‘crab’ or something.” Phones said. “And the commander saw it too?” Troy nodded, turning back to him.

“But the commander didn’t think much of it diDOFTH-!”

Marina suddenly skidded to a halt. She’d stopped in the hallway, between an auto-serve, the elevators, a row of plastic chairs and a water cooler. Very suddenly stopped. Causing the other three to also stop suddenly and sent them almost Bumping into one another.

“Ow. Again!”

“Sink me, you’ve both got sharp elbows!”

“A little warning would have been nice!”

Marina ignored them. She looked about and repeated her "Crab Squid" Routine. Then pressed the button to call the elevator to take them up, despite Phones pointing out they’d just come down the stairs. Troy folded his arms unimpressed now. And aware they might be blocking up the corridor.

“Marina what is this about? There’s nothing here!”

No Up! Look! Marina demanded. And this time pointed.

Troy rolled his eyes and glanced up at the ceiling.“Okay okaYAGH No no! Jumping Catfish nope!" Troy swore and leapt back aghast. Atlanta and Phones looked at him, very taken aback. And looked to where Marina was pointing. Then both Phones and Atlanta tried very hard not to laugh.

Squid. Up. Ceiling. look. Yes?

“Yes Marina. That’s, that’s up alright.” Atlanta tittered.

“Okay but That’s not a squid!” Troy scowled at her.

"No, It’s a spider Troy. Abie a big one." Phones said, helpfully.

"I know that! And Big? Look at the size of it Phones, its huge!”

"Nah, it's only a big as a house spider. I've seen bigger."

"Spoken like a true hick." Atlanta teased.

Crab? Not. Squid.

“No, not a squid.” Troy said. “Spider. SPI-DER.”

Marina looked at him blankly.

“Right. Of course, spelling it out to you is no good.” Troy face-palmed his own daft idea. “No wonder Marina was making no sense back there, huh?”

“Well now we’ve seen what she meant; I can sort of get where Marina was coming from?” Atlanta put in, miming with her fingers. “I mean spiders scuttle like crabs do. Just forward.”

“Ain’t they related anyway?” Phones asked.

“Probably.” Atlanta agreed. “Evolution wise it always comes back to crabs.”

Land Squid. Land crab.

“Yes, something like that Marina.”

 Up. ceiling look.

“We are looking.” Troy complained. “Marina, why'd you bring us out to see a darn spider?!”

Marina frowned, worried. Okay, Troy felt a bit bad for that.

“It didn’t bite you, did it?” he checked. Marina shook her head. “Well, I'm glad you’re okay then. But what gives?”

No. Squid. Not squid. Land. crab. Marina signed again. And pointed at her own feet and then held up her fingers.

“Eight feet?” Troy exchanged a look with Phones. “Or are you trying to say Eight legs?”

Land squid. Marina nodded, holding up eight fingers again. Eight legs. Squid Crab Up.

Atlanta frowned “but Marina honey you know squid have ten tentacles. and Crabs only have six legs-? OH! Wait.”

"I think we've had our signs mixed up.” Phones said catching on. “Earlier when we weren’t sure about the sign, did you mean ‘octopus’, Marina? Not squid?"

Marina nodded. Then signed Squid again but shaking her head.

Not Squid.

“Oh.”

“Eight legs, spider, octopus.”

“That makes more sense.” Phones said. The others agreed.

“They're the same sign but Octopus is like this,” Troy explained. “Use both hands. Grab your wrist with the other hand.”

Marina did as he demonstrated and nodded.

Octopus up ceiling look. she said, correcting herself. Not squid up.

“Octopus up.” Atlanta echoed.

Phones grinned. "Guess it’s a land- octopus then with its eight legs!"

“Four more than anything needs.” Troy complained.

“Aquanaut of the year and he’s scared of a little spider?" Phones mocked.

"It’s not little! And I’m not scared!” Troy insisted. Folding his arms he muttered. “They just give me the creeps, that’s all."

“Creeps!? you have a fake taxidermy angel fish mounted in our hallway as lamp!” Phones complained. “Creeps. That thing terrifies most people. and you’re nervous of this here itsy wincey octopus!”

“And After all the teasing you gave me for being scared of mice too!" Atlanta giggled. "Have you really not seen a spider before, Marina? You’ve been here a while now."

Marina nodded then shook her head. And after another round of charades:

"Not like that?" Phones guessed.  "Ah, not upside down or on ceilings. Just outside. And you’ve only seen little ones. Not Big."

"See?" Troy said. "Marina agrees it's huge!"

"I said she said big!” Phones translated at Marina's frown. “Besides, big furry ones like tarantulas are harmless.”

“Those are even worse!” Troy snapped. “And that-!” he pointed at the spider. “That's not furry. Look, Phones just get rid of it, would you?”

“Why me?” Phones complained. “It’s not doing any harm.”

“It could be poisonous!” Troy reasoned. Both lieutenants raised their eyebrows at him. “What? It could be. We’re not far from the California desert?”

Maria looked worried at that. Jellyfish. She signed.

“Ah no not jellyfish.” Phones said. “Troy, you’ll scare her!”

“Me?” Troy asked. “What did I do?”

“Well Marina’s walking around in bare feet and you just said it was poisonous.” Atlanta frowned.

“I said it Could be. It’s fine Marina. You’re down here and it’s up there. Just stay away.”

“We'll just leave it alone then?” Phones suggested.

“What and let someone else be possibly bitten?”

“Ah.”

Atlanta rolled her eyes and looked back up to the spider. “It could be, I suppose although it is rare. Is it brown or black? I can’t quite see it in this light.”

“I’m not sure.” Troy frowned up at it, then gave his best friend a nudge, “go on Phones.”

“Me? You’re the action hero!”

“I ain’t touching it!”

“Wimps.” Atlanta declared. She turned and pulled the chair over to underneath the spider. Then using the boys to balance Atlanta climbed up on the chair. The ceiling was in near touching distance if she put her arms up.

“Hand me a cup out that would you." She said. Marina did so, grabbing one from the water cooler, “We’ll just put it outside- Oh. Huh.”

“What is it?”

“Nothing.” Atlanta frowned. But her voice wobbled just the teeeeensiest bit. She looked from the cup to the spider and back again. “It’s … actually quite big now I'm up here. Bigger then a house spider.”

“See, what did I say!?”

“Let the lady get the bug in peace, skipper.”

“It’s an arachnid. Look I’ll get it. but then one of you two can deal with it.” Atlanta said and then turned back to them. “Oh, shoot actually, has someone got a piece of paper?”

There was a flurry of checking pockets. and both fellas pulled out their id cards.

“Here you go honey,” Troy said.  “Marina what is it?”

Marina shook her head. And was pointing up again. The others, Atlanta included, followed.

“Oh. Huh.” Phones echoed.

“Hey!”

“Where’d it go?”

In the split second where not one person had eyes on the spider, it had gone.

“Did anyone see Where it went?” Atlanta asked slowly. Troy shook his head.

“Atlanta? Get down real slowly.”

“It’s not on me, is it?!” Atlanta squawked. And twisted around so fast the chair wobbled. All three of the Stingray crew grabbed it steady.

“I thought you didn’t mind bugs?” Phones frowned.

“Yes, but not on me!”

Troy thankfully helped Atlanta down off the chair before either of them started to panic.

“Marina did you see where it went?” Phones tried. “Like on the floor? Or inside the auto serve?”

“If it did, I’m never getting coffee out of one of those things ever again!” Troy huffed.

Marina shook her head and shrugged at Phones.

But she pointed to the elevator doors.

Octopus Up.

“Yeah. Let’s go back upstairs.” Troy agreed. “I’ve had enough.”

“But the spider-?” Phones started.

“The commander's right. Let housekeeping or a cleaner deal with it.” Troy said. He had called the elevator and was holding the doors for his friends. Atlanta went in and pressed the floor number.  Marina hesitated then crossed the doorway. Followed by the guys.

Octopus Up.

“Yes, I get it.” Troy said. “What a day.”

“What a break time.” Atlanta complained, checking her watch and pressed the top floor button as well. “I better head straight to control. At least you three are still on standby.”

Octopus Up.

“Yeah, I know Marina.” Troy said exasperated as he followed. and the door closed. The system hummed and started to move. “We get the picture-!”

 Then Troy froze.

“Skipper?”

“Troy?”

The sound Troy made in response was unpleasant and slightly strangled. Troy had also gone very white. And quickly backed away from the middle of the elevator till he was right against the wall. Reaching past Atlanta, he then started Hammering the open-door button.

“Troy are you alright?”

“What goes?”

Octopus Up. Marina said again calmly.

Again, Phones and Atlanta looked where Marina pointed. The elevator maintenance hatch was ajar slightly. And beyond that covered in a crisscross of webs. Above their head, and much much closer this time, hanging from silk netting, something crawled out of the hatch. Several something’s. Several, eight legged somethings.

“That’s a lot of octopuses.” Phones agreed a tad more urgently.

“Octopi.” Atlanta corrected; her voice slightly strained. “I guess father didn’t see those ones earlier.”

“Did you Marina? Was that what you’ve been trying to tell us?”

Marina nodded.

octopus up ceiling up. Not. No worries. Still here. She said. Then jumped a good foot in the air as an alarm went off.

Well, they all did. Troy had hit the elevators stop button and was now forcing the doors apart.

“Troy! That’s for emergencies only!” Atlanta said.

“It’s only another floor up!”  Phones scolded.

“Nope! Not a chance. Suddenly I feel like another walk!” Troy insisted. “Box of spiders, give me a Mechanical fish any day!”

Marina stood confused looking between Troy and the spiders. Some even started crawling out of the hatch and along the ceiling like the first creature had. Or hanging upside down on strings of silvery threads. One dangled from a long web, quickly creeping and a crawling closer until it had dropped to be level with eyes. Marina put her hand out towards it, curious…Only to be pulled away by her more terrain wise friends.

“No, leave it Marina! We don’t know what species they are.” Phones said. “Come on, let's go. We’ll be stuck in here all day otherwise.”

Atlanta agreed, even if it was a stupid thing to do.

Troy jumped down out of the evaluator. Because of course he did. Then practically manhandled his team out of the box as they hurried out the elevator behind him. It was very lucky that the lifts were notoriously slow. Some design flaw that seemed to counterbalance the injector tubes breakneck speed. The elevator hadn’t gone far, only five feet or so. Climbing down wasn’t a big challenge, bar the indignity of sitting on the and shuffling down feet first through the gap to safely drop down.

Phones had the decency to stop and explain to a very confused ensign what was up with the elevator. Troy however practically bolted his way back up the stairs. While Atlanta went off to inform the commander about the infestation that had appeared right above their heads, the shipmates followed Troy. Troy had made it to the safety of the standby lounge and grabbed the radio.

“Hello maintenance? Security?” he said and was making demands down the line. “I don’t know, the cleaners. Well then who do I call about a swarm of huge spiders in the tower, International Rescue!?”

“Guess we’re getting pest control after all!” Phones joked to Marina. Followed by an “ow!” Troy had hit him with a rolled-up magazine.

“Hey now, that does it. Busting elevators, wanderings, bugs and now swattin’ me!? I'm going outside for a smoke!” Phones complained. He went on to the balcony and called back over his shoulder, “At least the spiders out here are naturally occurring!”

Troy made to flip him off. Then thought better of it. He didn’t want to be responsible for their mermaid learning the rude one-fingered gesture that defiantly wasn’t one of WASP international diving symbols.

“Marina, go give Atlanta her magazine, would you please?” Troy asked, pushing his weapon into her hands. Discarded his cap on the chair. “Hello operator- no I'm already holding. I'm trying to report a problem with the entire building!”

Marina nodded and went to leave. Then hesitated. She tap tap tapped her fingers on the door frame to get Troy’s attention again. When he glanced up at her Marina waved and then signed:

Down.

“What?”

 Down, she started. Octopus down. Not up. Surface immediately. Octopus down.

“Marina.” Troy interrupted. “Not to be rude, but I do not want to go and see any more spiders! Or land crabs, squids or otherwise thanks!”

Marina winced but sympathised. He seemed real upset. So, she agreed. Troy turned back to the radio.

And Marina left, deciding Troy wouldn’t want to hear about the octopus on his cap then.

I think all my fears are pretty common honestly (and also I TOLD YOU ALL OF THEM). I guess being afraid of like, living a normal settled down adult life is pretty unusual.

depends on how old I was as a kid but I had a little mermaid Kelly doll with pink hair and I named her Aquamarina and took her everywhere

I don’t believe in love languages as a concept I think they’re very stupid and everyone wants all of those things. that said you seem to have mine down. I like lots of adoration and princess treatment and also lots of torment and also genuine interest and you’re very very good at giving me all of that.

oooo that’s a hard one. part of me wants to say Spanish bc it’s the language of my ancestors but honestly I have to go with either German or Irish Gaelic bc they’re both so pretty

my favorite costume I’ve done so far is definitely the Maeve Fly costume I did last year. though one year I did a pretty great Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas

RNJesus is a b$%ch: A Deep Dive into the Thea Sisters' Nat1 Holder

Why does this woman have so much bad luck? :D What Feng Shui and Ba Gua violations did she make to have enough bad luck to get bent at least once per hardcover? :D (/lh /hj)

A nat1 is a natural 1, which in D&D terms usually means a colossal fail at a prompted task; therefore being a nat1 holder is not something you wanna be.

The Thea Sisters have a nat1 holder and she goes by the name Violet :'D

This is just a post about how many times she's been outrageously unlucky in a special edition book--

Spoilers for the special edition books, mainly books 2 and 4-9.

Oh and uh, group nat1s don't count, unless it's a situation where "everyone had a not-good time except for these guys" thing.

Before we get into that, we should probably set the stage a bit by establishing Violet's strengths and weaknesses, stats-wise. Violet is an intellectual, with a lot of general booksmarts, a good amount of emotional intelligence, cracked vision from art experience, sensitive ears from her training as a musician, flexibility from classical training and yoga, and a mind for tactics; and in the line of weaknesses, she's a bit touchy, can't survive without sleep, is not very athletic, often prefers to stand by while the other girls do stuff, and isn't good at doing things on the spot.

Now with that context, let's peep all the nat1s.

The first one comes during Secret of the Fairies, when the girls finds these Lake Fairies through their song. Which just so happens to somewhat work via siren rules.

So Violet's sensitive, musically attuned ears mean she rolls a nat1 94 pages (out of 310) into the book, leveraged only by Colette successfully stopping her from walking straight into the lake.

Now you may be thinking, "I mean it's not the worst thing in the world. Vi just got unlucky with this one," and to that I say

You'd be surprised just how unlucky Violet is capable of getting in these things.

The Secret of the Snow was probably the one Vi did the best in (that and Cloud Castle, imo). Maybe she fell into quicksand (with Nicky and Thea) and twisted her knee for about a couple minutes, but she did pretty good! She literally went and told a nightmare fuel kraken-esque thing to shut up, like a girlboss :D

Cloud Castle I guess isn't really a nat1 because it's a heroic sacrifice, what with the whole having her dreams yeeted and everything, but she got better it's fiiiinnneee

Woman t-posed to assert dominance, that must've given her at least two extra points /j

Treasure of the Sea is.... baffling, to say the least.

Okay so context:

There's this place in Aquamarina called the Infinite Abyss and it's thalassophobia incarnate but if the paranoid fantasies came true. You look down into it, you get yoinked into the darkness and possibly turned into a fish in the deep. This part is very unclear, but the abyss either has magic that physically tugs people enough to startle them to look down out of instinct... or it has a subconscious influence on those nearby, like a magically-induced intrusive thought that tries to convince the intrusive thinker to let the intrusive thoughts win and look down. I'm prefacing this with this statement... because I have no idea what the hell this scene is supposed to be.

Is Vi like, put under a spell? Was the physical tugging of the abyss too persistent to ignore? Were the intrusive thoughts just that goddamn loud? Did the plot police realize that things were going along too easily and they needed Vi to take an L so they can shake things up again this time? No clue! She just.... does, and she and Colette almost die because of this thing (whatever it is) that could've been easily avoided.

(Owners of the non-English books, if you're able to could you check the Infinite Abyss scene of the book so we can compare notes and try to decipher what the hell is going on here? That'd be nice /nf)

Speaking of Ls Vi just takes, Land of Flowers.

You're gonna love this one, because she takes not one, not two, but three Ls in this one book :D

First time was with this uh, this flower wall outside of the Golden Dahlia Palace that has Flowers of Forgetfulness (the opposite of forget-me-nots, it seems) where you get a whiff of the stuff and suddenly it's the total opposite of the time of day you last remember, you don't remember how you got there, and you feel like you just came out of a trip. Okay maybe that was an exaggeration but you get the idea-- Vi gets too close to one, accidentally sneef snorfs, and Colette winds up having to pull her away.

Second time was this scene where the girls had to cross this rope bridge that was hanging above a field of magic nettles, and I kid you not, this is the most Looney-Tunes-ass nat1 Vi has ever taken.

She is described as "[grabbing] the vines confidently, having watched her friends", and then she missteps and she straight-up does a Goofy-style fall into the nettles and is KOed by it so hard she had to be brought to two different places just to get her to wake up.

Then the third time was when they were going into this evil witch's tower and had to climb up some magical stairs that functioned like the trippy stairs in Harry Potter? Vi was about to step down, but just to be a dick I guess, the step decided to poof. Fortunately she didn't fall but holy crap how badly could that have easily gotten right o o

Crystal Fairies is a case where I dunno if this is worse or better than Vi's rotten luck in LoF, because while she takes only two nat1s in the book instead of three, both happen literally during the first half of the campaign. First one was her accidentally falling off a path and into a maelstrom-- don't worry, she didn't drown-- and second was... well...

"Now these crystals are very dangerous, they work by Narcissus rules so we should do our best to not look at the crysta--"

"Ooh shinyyyy......"

"VI NO"

This is more accurate than it sounds. And it is painful :D Who gave her the idiot ball for that one scene :D

After that we have Dance of the Star Fairies, where in the latter half of the book, she's riding a dragon chariot with the girls and King Astroboy over there, and when trying to land they accidentally thwump into an invisible force field, which sends Vi flying out of her seat and possibly into space had Nicky not caught her. Well hey, at least she managed to destroy this peepaw gnome at checkers, at least there's one W to balance out this L.

And last but not least, Magic of the Mirror. This one's actually not that bad, and it kinda comes full circle, surprisingly enough. Remember how Vi's first nat1 was when she fell under a song spell? Well, this last nat1 in this post is the same: the girls are put in a situation where they have no other choice but to listen to a siren's song, Vi being more vulnerable to music-based spells almost gives in, but the girls come in clutch and snap her out of it. Yippee :3

Why did this take way too long to make? I dunno :D. Why'd I make this? I dunno :D maybe I wanted an excuse to ramble about my blorbo, sue me

Anyway hope you enjoy this spectacle, and if you think that's all of them in the franchise, naaaahhhh bro we haven't even gotten into that one time in SuperSisters where Vi literally got captured on her first mission :D
