#an occasion to spread polish trivia!

[anisecandy]

@ckret2 He's a main character of a Polish book series by Stanisław Pagaczewski and an animated series, adapting the first of them, by the name of "The Abduction of Baltazar Gąbka(*Sponge)". The Dragon of Wawel is a well known Polish legend in which a Dragon residing under a castle in Kraków is killed with poison by a smart shoemaker. In the books Mr Wawelski Dragon instead of dying gets ill and turns friendly. He becomes the best friend of the Prince Krak as well as inventor and adventurer.

In the events of the first book, he and a brave Polish-Italian chief (Bartolini Bartłomiej, herb Green Garsley mamma mia!) are send to rescue the Profesor Baltazar Gąbka, who traveled to the Rain Country to study flying frogs and got abducted by the Great Rainer (their dictator), so that he would breed gigantic flying frogs for military purposes.

While traveling there they have many adventures in funny and absurd countries and eventually help overthrowing the dictator. The book is more nuanced about it; the other Rainers are depicted as just normal (green) people, and organize a revolutionary movement to overthrow the dictatorship, which the Dragon and Bartolini only help. In the animated series the Rain country is sorta more like "Evil Imperium"

As an act of patriotism, as well as rebelion against the americanization of tumblr and fandom spaces, I'm going to now start a bit where I talk about obscure characters from my childhood media the way everybody's talking about their cartoon blorbos.

Mabel Maples is a character in the Unikitty: Big Bright World series. She is a citizen of the Unikingdom who makes friends with Unikitty. Her voice is similar to Mabel's voice in Minecraft: Story Mode.

----

Physical Appearance: Mabel is a maple tree being (or a Stumplet, as she calls herself) who is Unikitty's age. Her head appears to be a sideways stump, which her face is carved into. She has light brown eyes with carved "eyelashes" and a small circular nose. She often dabs sparkles onto her face. She has small red maple leaves for hair, and her "space buns" are trimmed to look like larger maple leaves. Her torso resembles a tree trunk with the bark poking out near its bottom. Her arms resemble branches, as they have little maple leaves growing on their sides. Her legs resemble smaller trunks, and her feet resemble roots.

----

Personality: Mabel is a very open-minded girl. She listens to other people when they need to talk to her. She's good-natured and imaginative, and she always puts her best foot forward. She's quite a hugger as well, and she's known by her friends as giving some firm and strong hugs. Mabel likes to listen to music and learn about it. She plays the clarinet and the piccolo. Mabel‘s super interested in marching bands and what they do, and she is a part of the band at her school. She hopes to become a drum major. 

Mabel is optimistic, walking through life with a smile on her face. She loves to entertain others and find and spread joy. She never shies away from going all out. For this reason, she does whatever she can to make sure people stay entertained, at her band concerts and other occasions. She’s determined to leave a seed of herself in others’ memories, if you know what I mean. Before her life is over, she’ll make her mark on the world, and she swears by it.

Mabel does things with lots of energy, but it’s hard for her to recognize when she’s going too full-throttle. Sometimes, she has to remind herself to slow down.

Trivia

Mabel looks a bit similar to Spinel from Steven Universe and Circus Baby from Five Nights at Freddy's, but this is all coincidental.

Her interests came from Jezabat's idea to create a character who is in band, inspired by her best friend @ra1nb0w-ph0en1x.

One of Mabel's instruments is the piccolo because most professional piccolos are made out of wood.

Her design takes inspiration from the Whittles from Super Mario Galaxy 2 and the Mario Party series.

Mabel is sensitive to heat.

If a bug bites her, she'll begin to feel weak and woozy.

Mabel is a lesbian.

Mabel and her family moved to the Unikingdom from Botania when she was about five.

Mabel also appears in Jezabat's Cuckoo Land Pals AU, in which she is an attendee at Camp Action and Artsy Unikitty's love interest.

Jezabat pictures her and Unikitty having a romantic interest in each other in Big Bright World as well.

She had a simple but normal and peaceful life and she loved her family and friends. Her father teach her every kind of art activities like origami and drawing while her mother tell her amazing stories about love and tragedy(Romance is Pan Nuying’s favourite Genre).

One day, She and her friends were taking a walk in the village and they were playing Origami tricks. Suddenly, they bumped into a gang of teenaged village punks. The teenagers began bullying and beating them. They even destroyed and tear up their origami. One of the teenagers had an idea about raping the girls. They decided to Pick Pan Nuying first. The cruel leader of the teenaged bullies cornered her and he attempt to rape her. Suddenly, Her Qi awakens...

She open her eyes and find herself in bed with her mother crying while holding her hand. She asked what going on. That when her mother began explaining everything to her. When Pan Nuying’s Qi unleashed, she accidentally injured and almost KILLED all the teenaged punks with her fire Qi. After almost burning her bullies to death, she black out and her friends were horrified at what they saw and run away. The punks were sent to the village’s hospital clinic, heavily wounded and scarred.

Hearing this, she was frightened and began crying in guilt that she almost killed someone. She asked her mother if she is a monster. Her mother say nothing and hugged her in comfort.

After the traumatic incident, the whole Village learn about the girl unleashing her Qi to burned the teenagers to death. Many shady rumours spread. They began to think the girl is secretly an evil demon who seek destruction and fire or a pyromaniac witch who disguised herself as a normal girl and hypnotised her victims into thinking she was their child. Her parents try to ignored the rumours and going back to their normal life but it was very difficult. Many villagers began acting very cold and unfriendly to them. All the children in the village become very frightened of Pan Nuying and her friends quickly abandoned her. They even called her a monster. The chief of the village(who is the father of the punks’s leader) held a meeting. They discussed and agreed that the girl need to be banished and exiled from the village. Her parents pleaded the chief not to exiled their only daughter but he angrily brushed them off. He yelled at them that the damage is already done. The girl need to leave the village and never came back because she is a monster who attempted to burn his son and his friends to death and he did not wanted monsters in his village. He demanded the guards to take Pan Nuying away from the village and left her to die in the deep dark woods despite her parents’s protests. As she was taken away, she watch her mother weep in sadness and her father cried for her name. They were both begging the guards not to take her away.

After many miles away from the village and going deeper into the woods, the guards dropped her off in the deepest of the woods with no belongings. As the guards left, Pan Nuying was all alone left to die in the woods. At night, Pan Nuying build up a tent of leaves and sticks and try to sleep under it. Suddenly it began raining and she woke up when heavy raindrops hit her. She ran and tried to find a shelter. She spot an old tavern miles away from her. She enter the tavern and saw many thugs, assassins and thieves drinking and laughing in the tavern. She ask the bartender for a glass of water.

As she about to drink his glass of water, a hulking brute grab her drink and smashed it on the table. The brute began humiliating and mocking her about why a little girl enter a tavern full of warriors when she didn’t have any weapons or Qi at all. Pan Nuying tried to ignored the Thug’s taunts but everyone in this Tavern suddenly began laughing and rudely mocking at her. They give her very insulting names and jokes and some of them Join the Thug by torturing and hurting her. She tried calling for help but the uncaring bartender ignored her cries and continued his work. Suddenly, a masked mercenary enter the tavern. He saw everyone laughing, humiliating and hurting a little girl. He pointed his rifle up in the air and fired it. They stop and the masked mercenary shouted “you troglodytes! Do you not realize who your taunting? That’s the girl that nearly killed a whole group of teenagers without trying! If you keep it up this whole tavern could be leveled in a few minutes”. Everybody back off and leave her alone.

Pan’s eyes widen at the mysterious mercenary with hope. Does this mean she had a friend who could help her and give her a new home. She wait for him until he finished his drink. He was about to leave when someone tap him on the shoulder. He turn to see a small girl looking up to him with a bright smile. She thanked him for saving her from humiliation. She asked him if he could give her a new home to stay. But..the mercenary ignored her and tell her to go away before brushing her off and leaving the tavern.

No one help her when she is humiliated, tortured, tormented and laughed at. Being bullied...watching her friend almost being raped...almost killing a group of teenagers...nasty rumours...being abandoned by her friends...being separated from her parents...exile from her home...left to die in the deep woods...

That when Pan Nuying snap

The next morning, a traveller enter the tavern and was shocked to find there so many burned corpses all over the place. He saw a little girl finished drinking her cup of orange juice and turn to see the frightened traveller. Her eyes are shut and had a cheerful grin on her face. She left the tavern skipping and humming a happy tune.

And this is how the feline flower demon is born.

She is quite happy-go-lucky, friendly, Chipper, jovial, Bubbly and giggly towards her allies and enemies alike. She is hyper and spontaneous, as well as being quick on her feet. She is easily entertained, and easily excitable. She’s shown to have a giddy, childlike side of hers like humming a high-pitched tune while skipping. Despite seem to be harmless and sweet at first, she is a very dangerous and deadly threat. She’s clinically psychotic, taking great enjoyment out of her missions and being willing to inflict pain on others to get what she wants. Her often bubbly behavior and nonchalance towards anyone that stands in her way often puts her at odds with the main cast, and can easily become bored while she playfully seeks violence to a sadistic degree. The only side Nekomata is truly on is her own. She is overly affectionate and can be sometimes be a hopeless romantic. To the point she becomes a yandere for whatever unlucky person becomes the target of her affections(like Wu Laohu).
