(COPY-PASTED FROM ARTFIGHT)
they/she Zigzag / Zag is a Magifoofa who’s completely moved on from Fawful’s defeat. They live as a recluse in a mountain cave, hoarding a myriad of things (mostly video-game-related objects but also random electronics). They confidently work for themself. They specialize in electric magic, though continuous use of it tires them out and may potentially backfire on them (hence the magical burn marks on their hands) without channeling it through a magic wand (which they insist they don’t need). They restore their energy by tapping into power lines / power sources and eating batteries. They generally don’t mind that they live in seclusion, because they still have the Internet and love getting into flame wars with Francis Super Paper Mario among other gaming forum members (they behave similarly to a troll, but just enough decency to not get banned off some sites). However, sometimes they do become rather lonely. They find the idea of dragging a Mushroom Kingdom citizen to their cave to play Smash Bros. or Mario Party a tempting option. They have a petty bitterness towards Mario that conflicts with their love of his game series. Sometimes they’ll play Super Mario Bros. just to make Mario bump into Goombas on purpose. (A note about their speech - they don't talk like Fawful does, though they tend to ramble.) Zag's Likes & Dislikes
LikesDislikes
  • Gaming
  • Arguing with people (mostly via the Internet though)
  • They like to happily gush about games too! It's not just debate (some games they like include the Donkey Kong Country games, Terraria, and the Smash Bros. series)
  • Collecting (mostly electronics & consoles but also video game merchandise)
  • Caffeine
  • "Daredevil" stunts, though she isn't very fit physically nor an expert in any way
  • Fighting (duels, not to the death or anything)
  • Thinks Bowser's kingdom is kind of cool but wouldn't want to work for him
  • "Pest" species (she doesn't mind that they take up residence in her cave uninvited, especially if they play video games with her!!)
  • MARIO (big Luigi fan though)
  • Sleep (difficult for them to get when they're almost always electric-charged)
  • Authorities (considering how often Zag steals electricity & possessions)
  • Bodies of water (being engulfed electrocutes everyone nearby AND drains her energy)
  • Citrus (not allergic it just makes her hands sting)
Interaction Guide (if you want to draw interactions!)
CaptainShe's never met Captain, but would be amused by (and maybe feel a crumb of pity about) his confidence in an army that no longer exists. Captain would have little interest in Zag's hobbies and become disinterested when he learns that Zag does not want to help his cause.
Acculea T.They've encountered each-other a few times. Zag assumes Acculea's sugary attitude is a facade, but no matter what she tries she can't seem to break the supposed bit. Acculea thinks Zag's theft is a bit far (electronics are expensive!) but thinks Zag probably wouldn't cause Toad Town any serious harm. They played Mario Party together in Zag's cave before and Acculea won solely because of a particularly brutal Chance Time (Zag has felt bitter anger about it ever since). She won't let Acculea stay in her cave nor hang out with her very often because she doesn't trust her (from said bitterness and again suspicion that this friendly demeanor is just some kind of sinister facade). Plus she doesn't like that Acculea sometimes nags her about her theft - which, she basically lines her cave with all the stuff she stole.
 OddityThey've never met Oddity. She'd be slightly curious that there's other fawfulized people around, but not nearly as excited as Oddity would be. When she sees that it knows nothing about video games or the Internet, she'd definitely try to show it some games she likes and then grow frustrated when it doesn't know how to play (nor can it play very well with the claws on its gloves, yet it staunchly refuses to take the gloves off). She may allow it to stay at her cave if she hears it has no home but it wouldn't ever stay very long (thinks it's unsafe).
One of your OCs! Zag would most likely meet someone via the Internet, whether it be some form of social media or a gaming-specific forum. Usually she's either gushing about a game or having a heated debate (which she's half-serious half-trolling) about peoples' opinions on games. Off the Internet, she may encounter someone while in the process of stealing some electricity / electronics. She would definitely go to the Mario universe's equivalent of E3 (RIP) or other gaming conventions, hidden in plain sight because people often assume her glasses are a reference to something much less sinister.
