Name: Gypsy
Age: Older than time. (16th century)
Sex: Mannish Female
Height: 5'6"
Species: Demon
Eye Color: Yellow
Hair: Purple. Usually shoulder-length and curly. Spirals! @,@
Clothing: Always with the purple. ALWAYS. Despite her mannish unpleasantness, she really likes the frilly business. But she balances it out with various garments made out of itchy black fabric, usually a misshapen coat that’s older than she is.
Other: She’s got gold horns and purple ears with the fur and such. I’m not even going to try to describe her tail. @,@ She’s often seen with a large yellow circle painted/pasted on her forehead for no explained reason.
Occupation: : A variety of very interesting, action-adventure movie-type things, with the treasure hunting and the assassinations and the jewel heists. Shenanigans! She also spent a brief time as the CEO of an evil multinational corporation, but soon decided it was too stale.
Religion: Every one. Ever. She’s been on a quest to find the One True Religion ever since she ran away from home, due to her dad’s incompetent zeal towards the subject. Loves the death cults, and they love her.
Skills: Complete World Knowledge, being old, the crazy fightin’ skillz.
Likes: Power, people who bend to her will, very sophisticated things, hanging out with intellectuals, crazy schemes.
Dislikes: Weenies, dumbasses, incompetence.
Personality: A worldly, mature, woman on the surface, but deep down she’s still a teenage girl who loves crazy adventures and hooliganism.
Story: Gypsy was born in the most boring village in Morocco, alongside her not-twin brother, Raeyoa, to really suck-tastic parents. Not content to become a fishwife (!?), she and Raeyoa ran away from home when they were 16, to become menaces to society. It was all great fun, until they decided to kidnap the local demon lord (actually a teenage boy named Canti) for the reward money, and to riffle through his great big piles of swag. It didn’t go so hot. Eventually, they were tracked down by his sister, the wife of Satan, and given a stern talking to. A year later, just as soon as they thought all that business was done with, she pops up again, reporting that her brother has gone missing and that they are to go find him. Or else, you know. Death. So naturally, they get out of there as soon as possible. For what occurs during the next 400-or-so years, please see every movie ever made involving a cursed emerald.
Skip ahead to the year 2021, at a mall in New Jersey—don’t ask me why! While Raeyoa was busy hassling a juice kiosk employee, Gypsy happened to spot none other than Canti, whiny demon lord, buying skanky leather pants. Obviously wondering how he came to be in New Jersey after all these years, she decides to follow him home (ignoring Raeyoa’s suggestion to beat him with a golden monkey statue and stuff him into a burlap sack).
They attempt to ‘convince’ him to come with them, but after about a week, they give up and decide to just crash at his (Akari’s) place instead. And they’ve been there ever since, the end!
Relationships:
Raeyoa: On one hand, he’s her complete opposite—irresponsible, immature, and somewhat skanky. But on the other hand, he has, over the years, become much like she was when she was young (double digits, man)… minus the skanky. They’re like two halves of one whole (really messed up) personality, which occasionally overlap. She has very little patience for Raeyoa’s shenanigans, though she has admitted that there’s a certain mad brilliance to his schemes. And secretly, she usually enjoys them. But you’ll never know. >.>
Canti: A weenie of the highest order, for which there is no cure. She usually just leaves him in the hands of Raeyoa.
Akari: She thinks Akari is a weenie, something that she finds completely unacceptable, though one that could possibly be saved. As such, she has taken it upon herself to making her less of a weenie, which involves a subtle combination passive aggressiveness and verbal abuse. It hasn’t been working so hot.
Akazatou: Gypsy mostly has nothing to do with Akazatou, conflict of ideals and all, but occasionally she’ll join forces with her, as the mad sciences are a great boon to anyone who hopes to take over the world. Or at least a juice kiosk.
Vay: Considered her arch nemesis, as she’s the only one competent enough to fill the role. Vay is Gypsy’s main (only) rival in the race to see who can make Akari suck less. It’s occasionally come to blows.
Character History: She’s probably the 4th character I came up with for this mix-up. For some reason, I decided to base her looks after Gypsy, the robot from MST3K, with the purple and the yellow forehead-eye. No idea. Always had the purple hair, though she used to look more like Akari and Akazatou, with the grey fur and such. I think she actually used to be their Long Lost Sister, or something. Also, she was a secret agent for some sort of government organization. I don’t know. For most of her character-life, she had been actively pursuing Canti, as he was responsible for having an irreversible curse put on her, and she wanted revenge. The curse? Floating. Yes, so she would have to constantly be weighed down, else she'd float into space. O_o But eventually, I decided the idea I had for weighing her down wasn't exactly convenient (and hard to draw), so it went away after a while. Oh, and I think one of the side effects of the curse was the forehead-eye, which she could use to electrecute people. Yeah, I don't know either.
