Candle's original form was an anthropomorphized version of Tumblr asks I sent into the Y2KVR blog with a candle emoji signature! This concept, uh... quickly got out of hand.
Candle's primary hyperfixation is the Chernobyl Disaster, which she enjoys talking about with her friends. Gordon very patiently puts up with her infodumping on slow days at the laboratory.
"I'd like to walk around in your mind someday..."
In the Zombie Apocalypse AU, Candle is the first of the gang to be fully infected by the Lovecore virus. She's discovered by Byte one night as they take shelter in an abandoned convalescent home.
