AMANDA CAROLI An Alternian troll who defected from the Empire in the 1996 invasion and has been living on Earth since then. She really likes whatever the thinly veiled analogue for Pokemon is in this universe and hates humanity a little more than she lets on, but will still probably fight for them if necessary.
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THIS CHARACTER IF: • You saw the Japanese news coverage of her "sudden appearance" at an Akihabara video game store in 2002, where her status as a political refugee since 1997 was revealed • You saw the news coverage of her arrival at LAX in 2005, which accused her of being an Alternian spy and mentioned her year-long detainment sentence • You cared at all about professional Not-Pokemon tournaments in 2009, when she was kicked out of the local primaries in LA; in 2010, when she made it to nationals but was kicked out for similar BS bureaucratic reasons; or (most likely) in 2011, when she won the world championship • You follow her on Twitter or read her Reddit AMA, both of which came into existence shortly after her victory at Worlds
YOU MAY KNOW THIS CHARACTER IF: • You patronized a certain video game store in Akihabara, Tokyo between 2002 and 2005 • You lived in Little Tokyo, LA at any point after 2006 • You competed against her in either of the two years she was allowed to compete in at least one stage of the Not-Pokemon World Championships
PLANS & IDEAS FOR THIS CHARACTER: I've written a good deal of microaggressions and discrimination into Amanda's backstory (or rather, the mods have done it into the universe's backstory), so I'm totally down with negative CR if your character's got a reason to hate trolls and/or girls. I'm honestly 50/50 on whether I want Amanda to fall on the hero or villain side of things, so if anyone's willing to drop some shades of grey on her (metaphorically or otherwise), that would be super cool for her development, I think.
THINGS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID: FIRE AWAY
ANYTHING ELSE: Amanda's primary Earth language is Japanese, so if your character met her in America between 2006 and mid-2007, they'll probably remember her as "that weird Japanese-speaking troll" instead of anybody who could reliably hold a conversation in English.
