Character Information
Name: Vella Beastender Tartine
Canon: Broken Age
Canon Point: Post-game
Age: 16
History: Vella was born in the town of Sugar Bunting, formerly known as Steel Bunting. Steel Bunting was, frankly, a town of badass warriors. Over time, the generation of warriors died out leaving behind a town of bakers. Like every other town in the world, the citizens of Sugar Bunting sacrificed several "maidens" to monsters known as Mogs. The Mogs appear from the Plague Dams every 14 years to eat maidens. Vella, a descendant of the Tartine bakers and the Beastender warriors was selected as one of five maidens to be delivered this time. Like all other maidens, Vella was trained to see her role as an honor. The Maiden's Feast itself is treated more like a beauty pageant than a serious affair. However, Vella began to have doubts about her role and began to question whether they could simply kill the monster.
The entirety of Act I ensued.
In Act II, Vella found herself trapped in Mog Chothra, which was apparently a flying ship this whole time. Investigating, she quickly discovered that the Mogs were designed by an elitist, xenophobic group of mutants known as the Thrush. Basically the Thrush game plan was 1) send crews of families on a "space mission" to "save" faraway creatures. 2) Get maidens. 3) Blend maidens in a health drink to keep the Thrush healthy and breeding. 4) Be weirdly sexual about all of this. 5) Rinse and repeat.
Vella, being cooler than most people, said "fuck that". Allying herself with the ship's Captain Hope and its robots, she built a bomb and dropped it in the Plague Dams to destroy their facilities. During their attempt to escape of the explosion, the ship crashed into another Mog. Shay had been rebuilding a ship to save his mom, with Vella's family sticking around for the ride. The two families successfully managed to save each other and land somewhat safely, as well as beat up the Thrush for good measure. With the Thrush's evil base gone, Vella happily returned to Sugar Bunting with a bunch of new friends.
Personality: Vella is best described after punching a Thrush agent: "I thought you were a baker?!" "Well yeah. I can do both." On one side of her family, a long line of warriors. On the other, bakers. She sees no conflict between these positions and embraces both roles whole-heartedly, wearing a cute pink dress while she tries to punch and stab people.
The "helpful baker" side of herself is shown repeatedly. She's largely friendly with people and frequently helps them out with their troubles. Her entire journey begins due to her outrage seeing other girls eaten by a monster, despite them treating her like dirt earlier. Most of the people she encounters her react as though she's a deluded menace for attempting to kill Mog Chothra, but she expresses sympathy for their individual plights more often than not. She encourages other former maidens to believe in their self-worth and fight the Mog and does her best to help Curtis the Lumberjack with his fear of trees.
Despite her kindness, she's also a fierce warrior who loves a fight. In almost every conversation, she starts off by casually asking "hey, wanna help me kill a monster? No? Cool, I'll figure something else out." She spends a portion of Act II looking for explosives, just in case she needs it (which she did). Upon told she's about to accidentally make a death ray, she chirps "yay!" While she can find peaceful solutions, she greatly prefers quick, often violent or mean-spirited methods. This trait is best exemplified when she befriends a talking knife. Yes, really. Its actually amazing how well they get along.
Her fondness for quick solutions tends to make her a little impatient. Hope tries to warn her about the dangers of making a bomb, only for Vella to talk over her and brush off her concerns. Upon encountering an angry talking tree that she needs sap from, she promptly makes him puke rather than talk things out and calm him down. (She can even make him puke multiple times if the player wants to. For funsies). She's also incredibly stubborn, sticking to a plan or mindset despite evidence to the contrary. When the two ships crashed into each other, despite knowing they weren't actually monsters, Vella began planning to stop the Mogs from "mating".
That said, her determination, kindness, and quick thinking tend to be her best attributes. She may make a lot of mistakes, but she'll do whatever it takes to save the day.
Abilities: As stated above, she's a phenomenal baker and fighter. She can cook hundreds of meals with ease, from cakes to breads to some third thing. As a fighter, she's spry yet powerful. She easily dodges and overpowers a Thrush agent trying to get the drop on her, climbs onto a bird while in the air, and runs around avoiding monster attacks.
Strengths:
- determination
- empathetic
- resourceful
- leadership skills
- emotional fortitude
Weaknesses:
- stubborn
- impulsive
- fixated
- ruthless
- violent
God/Shinki: Shinki
Why?: Vella is someone who likes to be in charge, but would be completely apathetic to building her own power. She's too impulsive on her own and would work better with someone directing her toward goals.
Cause Of Death: Let's say baking explosion gone wrong.
Vessel: A knife with a blood gutter. Which could be used for filling in food too.
Name Location: Her right fist. The punching fist.
Power: Increased confidence/bloodlust. If this is powerful enough, she could let her god enter a Beserker mode. I'm going to say the god has the power to start this mode or not, but I'd probably leave that decision up to the player in case they wanted the god to automatically become violent when using Vella.

Anything Else?: Being Fuu's shinki would be comfortable for me, since I'd know the player beforehand and she gave her permission. If that doesn't work, that's alright too.
