Character: Roxy Lalonde Fandom: Homestuck Character Notes: History: In the original timeline, four thirteen year old children, John, Rose, Dave, and Jade, played a game called SBurb, and royally screwed it up. They were supposed to create a new universe, but instead they created an unbeatable boss, and reset their game, escaping into the space between sessions. They're currently on a three-year journey to the new game, along with the last remaining members of the Trolls, the aliens whose universe spawned their own.
Resetting the session doesn't just rewind to start, though-- it does a little timey-wimey flip-flopping. Each of the kids had a guardian-- Bro Strider, Grandpa Harley, Nanna Egbert, and Mom Lalonde, although John was raised by his dad and Jade was raised by her dog, a First Guardian, a being whose purpose is to watch over its planet and make sure it fulfils its ultimate purpose-- i.e., creating an offspring universe of its own, through the development of SBurb or its local equivalent. The guardians and their children are formed through ectobiology, in which imprints of the guardians' DNA were copied and combined to make both the guardians themselves and the four children who are this session's main characters. The infants created through this DNA mixing were sent by meteors to Earth, where they landed and grew up to become exactly the people the DNA was copied off of.
SBurb eats paradoxes for breakfast.
Anyway, after this process you have Mom and Bro, whose DNA is combined to create Rose and Dave, and Nanna and Grandpa, whose DNA ends up with Jade and John. Mom lands somewhere in upstate New York, grows up, finds Rose in a meteor, and raises her with apparent passive-aggressive drunken indulgence until the game begins. What's that, Dave? Rose's mom is probably trying to connect with her by sharing her interests and making grand gestures of devotion? Perish the thought! Whyever would the world's most cynical and suspicious teenage girl ever get her mother's motivations wrong?
Upon the beginning of the game, Mom Lalonde travels Rose's in-game planet to find the entrance to the ectobiology lab, take care of some monsters, and basically make the route there as simple as possible. (All of the guardians seem to know far more about the game than they should, and work both to make the kids' journey as easy as possible and accelerate the process of resetting the session-- there's been no explanation of their knowledge so far.) She ends up in the Veil, meets Dad Egbert, fights her way through the game, and has a lovely afternoon tea with the dapper gentleman before being brutally murdered by Jack, the unbeatable boss the kids created. And that is the end of Mom Lalonde.
Remember that flip-flop, though? In the reset session, the kids are the guardians, and vice-versa. Nanna (Jane) is a fifteen year old who fondly remembers her grandpa John, Grandpa (Jake) idolizes his Grandma Jade's adventures, Bro (Dirk) looks up to Dave with tempered adoration, and Mom, Roxy Lalonde, really fucking loves her mom Rose's books about wizards. I mean, hot damn does she love wizards. It is seriously unreal.
There are a few differences between this world and the first one, though. An ancient alien empress, otherwise known as Betty Crocker, has her gnarled hands in everything, including SBurb. She can't get ahold of Roxy-- being the Hero of Void gives her a natural defense against anyone trying to find her-- but Roxy still knows about her, and knows that playing the game is a mega bad idea that's basically playing right into her hands. She spends a great deal of time sleepwalking around Derse, one of two planets that players' dream selves live on, which gives her mind a lot of strange information. Jane doesn't really believe her, though-- in addition to being Roxy's best friend, she's the great-granddaughter of Betty Crocker, and stands to inherit a bakery empire. Sure, she's not a fan of its business practices, but it's just a company, right? She'll grow up and take it over and fix everything! No need to get so worried. Roxy is just messing with her and also kinda drunk.
Jane is about 50% wrong on this. Yes, Roxy is generally pretty drunk. But the Batterwitch killed her mother some time ago, a fact which Jane absolutely disbelieves-- Rose Lalonde is a famous author, and wouldn't the media report her death? That's what first got Roxy investigating the game-- she discovered it had a possibility of resurrecting her mother. She uses her appearifier, a gadget which predictably appearifies things, to prove to Jane some of what she's been saying. And it works! She appearifies Jane's giant jokebook into her room right on top of the God Cat, this session's First Guardian. Did I say God Cat? I actually meant Roxy's pet cat Frigglish, originally stolen from the beta session through similar technology. God Cat lured him right under the falling joke book, because God Cat is a cat and so basically a bastard.
Roxy feels awful about this, and considers a funeral, except that for some reason, going outside is pretty dangerous where she is. So she decides to send him back where he came from, and jumps through one of the fenestrated portals arrayed around her house, meant for just this sort of travel. And that is the point that canon is up to!
Personality: In a lot of ways, Roxy is a typical teenage girl. She likes cute boys, pink, her BFF, and kittens. Specifically, cloning them.
Wait, what?
Yeah, add to that an interest in technology and science. She's an ace hacker, and can remotely access Dirk's robots and program windows to think with portals. She's a gamer with a preference for the classics. And she's also excellent at ectobiology. She experimented with cloning her cat, and ended up with a bunch of mutant kittens at first; she got the hang of it eventually, but she keeps the kittens preserved and on display because they're totes adorbs.
She's talkative and flirty, even though she's surrounted* with inelegible* fuckin bachelors. Yeah, did I mention that she's drunk a good portion of the time and types like she just found her fingers? Judging by her friends' reactions to her, though, she doesn't seem too different drunk than sober-- just worse at typing and a lot sillier.
Her best friend is Jane Crocker, and you can tell three very important things about Roxy from their friendship. First off, she's loyal as anything-- both girls are crushing on Jake, but Roxy considers him to be off limits because of her affection for Jane. She feels awful when she accidentally comes close to spilling the beans to him, and when she finds out about Dirk's probable plan to confess his own crush (yeah for a sixteen year old dork Jake is pretty popular), her first thought is Jane, not herself.
Second of all, Roxy can be pretty sneaky and ruthless when she wants to be. She sends Jane a fake copy of the SBurb alpha rigged to explode to convince her that the game is bad news-- essentially, lying to make Jane see the truth. It's because of loyalty, sure, but it's not the most sensible, reasoned plan.
Third of all, Roxy is very, very lonely. She's alone in her house besides her cats, has no romantic prospects to speak of, and her best friend doesn't believe her when she tells the truth about her life. She's almost stopped even trying to convince her, because what's the point? She'd rather have a best friend than not, and it hurts too much to keep getting shot down. So she's the silly drunkie who talks about boys and swears a lot, but when push comes to shove, she will not let go of that batterwitch thing, because it's important, and because if nothing else, at least she can save her best friend.

First Person (entry type):ok so were gonna get exprimenatl up in tis bitch *expramental *extra mental heheh anyways i gots some sweetass tech here that ive been tryin to calibrate bascially i can take anyhting from anywhere with a whiole shitload of exceptions *whoa gettin too excited there slow down rl but if i dont plan it how the hell am i sposed to know if im gettin what im aimin for so im askin for volunteesr here r ur isntructions one tell me waht you wont miss an where it is two tell me hopw pumpkin it is on a scael of one to pumpkin thx 4 helpin a sister out mwah :*
Third Person: Roxy woke up in the kitchen, her face in a pile of slime. It took her about three seconds to go from there to 'holy shit this is gross' and whip her head up, trying to remember just what the fuck she had been doing last night and holy shit it was bright in here. You would think after so much drinking Roxy would be immune to hangovers, and you would be wrong.
She had expected the worst when she felt the slime-- she'd had the bright idea to play with ectobiology while drunk before, and it had turned out to be a less than genius idea. But nope, this stuff was... orange? Yep, orange, and had seeds in, and basically resembled a pumpkin. Her phone was still displaying Jane's last text, telling her that she was pretty sure pumpkin pies had a list of ingredients longer than "pumpkin".
Good old Janey. Always willing to try and dissuade Roxy from drunken shenanigans that could kill her while humorously helping out with ones that were just silly. Was humorously a word? She could not give less of a shit. That was Jane's bag. Dirk might think they were bad for each other but Jesus he could be so uptight sometimes.
Roxy poured herself a glass of water from the sink and slumped back down to see if Jane was still online. In the light of day it didn't seem like a good idea for Jane to just laugh when she did stupid shit when drunk, so reluctant point Dirk, but you know what? BFFs are BFFs, no matter what they do to each other, that's where the last F comes from, Dirk. Go play with your ponies.
