She appears to be the ROGUE of VOID, judging by her ROGUISH BEHAVIOR toward the FELLAS.

Woo! Roxy! So now we know that the names don't have to monosyllabic, although now we also only have one name left to guess at (and it's totally going to be Dick.)

I'm glad that the Jaspers mystery has finally been solved. That had been itching at me for sort a long time and I was worried that it would never be dealt with or have any sort of importance to the story.

What the hell is vision omnifold? Does she remember the session or something. Also Rose can never see roxy due to her powers, how depressing

Likely the same wizard powers she had in the session.

She has a Complacency of the Learned poster. Hopefully we'll get to read more of Rose's literary output. :allears:

Roxy is a fantastic name for her personality. Rozz would also have been acceptable, despite being a weird spelling

So what else can we learn from the background?

Looks like she has a violin (whether or not she plays it) and uses riflekind or something like it. Grey harpoonoid rifle with some resemblance to Ahab's Crosshairs on her table, some sort of suspiciously crocker-red raygun on her bed.

Wizard-and-cat pile. I'm going to just assume Dave was completely right about her B1 version's enthusiasm for wizards being totally genuine.

Also those frozen cats are apparently "dead specimens", possibly including the one that looks exactly like Mutini. I guess we'll have to wait for more details to see what that upsets and how.

Good Hunter, what... what is this post?
So all of Roxy's windows are the fancy portal windows from PS.
She's got a pink Gameboy, Wii, Gamecube, Playstation, etc
This universe's Rose got Complacency of the Learned published and has poster merchandise apparently.

Imagine that: best character has best introduction.

I'm guessing now that Mutini wound up in the lab by Rose's house when Roxy chucked it through a fourth wall/window, and then it thawed out in there. Or something?

Those fenestrated walls have been in Homestuck since we were first introduced to Jack. As ever, though, I'm sure these windows willpower useful/vital in future updates. Maybe.

Also, I can't link it cos I'm on an iPad but the banner add :stare:

Yeah, that's possible. That'd reraise the question of what happened to the one she landed with, though.

She's got a rifle laying there by her laptop and an old-school zap gun on her bed! I doubt either of those are going to be her weapon of choice, though.

They're probably how she hung out with UU I'm guessing and picked up on troll culture.

Hell yeah she exists in real life! She's a cutie cotton-skinned beetle with cool, not at all creepy oval eyes. And yes - same.

I've gotta say, though, I hope Hussie's good enough to subvert some of the aspects of Roxy's character description a little. A lot of it kinda reads like someone's fan-troll/fan-kid - 'oh yes, she's a totes ridic haxor (how ironic), no, the fanfiction that I she writes isn't very good, but yeah, she's totally into ~nostalgic indie gaming~ (only quasi-ironic tumblr? You bet) ... I dunno, it feels a little pandering, almost. I know that it's totally unfair and anachronistic, to say the least - Hussie did come up with characters like this first - and the dialogue we've had with her so far shows us that she's hilariously written, if nothing else. If she'd been the first kid we'd seen this Act, though, I would have been a little nervous. That said, Hussie's hopefully a good enough writer not to fall into that sort of trap.

>Complacency of the Learned is a movie here, too(Starring Dave Strider? in a checkerboard LoHaC?)
>Violin(Unless perspective is skewed, could be a Cello?)
>Ray gun(?)
