aradia megid0 | h0mestuck

[screwloose]

Aradia ends up trolling Rose a bit, and she and Rose share a bit of a connection, but mostly Aradia spends her conversations with Rose trying to dissuade her from doing whatever crazy stuff she's doing, even as she admits that by pretty much taking any action to try to intervene, she's probably ensuring that the disaster she's trying to prevent will occur.

And I think she blows up soon, but I don't know why. (Edited: Yeah, she blew up, and I still don't know why, but she was definitely adorable with Sollux first.) And of course Homestuck isn't done so there's more I probably don't know. It doesn't really matter, because I'm planning on starting Aradia way back in the dimness of time, before the fateful FLARP game that ended her life.

Personality: Aradia's trolltag (her username for Trollian, the chat client the trolls use) is apocalypseArisen and there is a pr0n0unced h0ll0wness t0 her w0rds. She doesn't use capitals or punctuation when typing, and likes to use the 0_0 emoticon to show when she has nothing really to say.

Before her death, Aradia seems quite normal by human standards and even cheerful. She's not as manic as, say, Terezi, and shows no signs of psychopathy that many of the other trolls show. She is angered by Tavros' accident, and takes matters into her own hands, hoping that if Vriska is confronted by her victims, she'll realize that there are consequences for her actions. She clearly has affection for Sollux, and rushes to the window when told that he's outside, glad to see him.

After Aradia's death, she is listless and apathetic. Nothing much seems to matter to her, though she is also consumed by frustration, which causes her to lash out and cause damage to things around her, just for something to do. Her telekinetic abilities and psychic abilities are multiplied by many times by her death, and I think her apathy is caused mostly by the fact that she knows of the inevitable destruction of their world and that there's nothing she can do to stop it. Being dead is also probably a bitch.

Once she prototypes herself she begins to ribbit sometimes, and is unable to control that. She starts to get some of her personality and feelings back.

Joining with her robot body gives her even more personality, pretty much back to the old Aradia, but she becomes very logical and mathematical at times, something Karkat criticizes her for. She begins to refer to herself in computer terms, talking about rerouting circuitry when threatening to blow herself up in order to stop Rose from continuing along the path she's on.
