Green Eggs & Ham Oc! Meet Varvara Not-Haha! Maybe You Can Make Her Laugh? 😆
I know the whole hype for this show has ended, but I recently, finally lol, decided to sit down and watch it and I can’t explain how heartfelt and wonderful the show was. It really inspired me to make an oc so I wanted to share her and hear your thoughts! :)
Backstory and how she meets them:
This is Varvara. She is the runaway daughter of Snerz due to him trying to control her and turn her into a “mini me”. She’s never been exactly how he wanted her, unlike her mother, who loved her for her.
Her mother sadly died when she was quite young though, and she was her safe haven. She allowed her to be her with no questions asked and their love was deep unlike the love from Snerz which was all about image and control. Her mother didn’t allow him to dictate and manipulate her, but whilst doing so, she let herself be walked all over and belittled in order to make sure her daughter was safe. Their love was deep and never quite since her passing, has Varvara ever let anyone in, or had the ability to.
As to how she meets the GUYS (lol). I haven’t quite thought of a scenario yet but I was thinking obviously something has happened and the gang need to go on some sort of journey to fix it. I’m thinking it’s Guy and Sam who meet her first. And of course, Sam sees her first, wanders off with Guy being clueless as to where he’s gone and is instantly entranced by her. And of course, she is not interested lol. She won’t even look at him whilst he rambles on, asking her questions a mile a minute, only answering with short okays and rights. What does get her attention is when Sam says “Oh, you’re Snerz’ daughter right? I knew I recognised you from that gloomy old portrait!”. This is when she looks at him for the first time with an angry glare. Sam being sam doesn’t notice and just carries on, not phased by who she is. He’s basically decided “you’re my person” now and he’s strangely loyal to her. 😂 Later down the line when she does look at him, even though she’s angry lol, he notices this time and his heart comically beats out of his chest like this image of Duo I’ve included. 😂 Guy finally manages to find them through all these people and whilst Sam tries to get her to go she won’t budge. I’m also thinking he does some sort of crazy dance to try and vibe with her lol. She says “If I wanted a golden ottriever, I’d get one”. (Mix of a golden retriever and an otter haha). Just as she says that, who they need to avoid are busting in and, yeah, she seems like she doesn’t care but with a deep UGH she grabs Sam’s arm and tells them to follow her. So alas, this is how she gets dragged into being with them on their quest. And she seems more like an asset than you’d first think. But Sam saw it from the beginning haha.
As for her last name, it did used to be Snerz but once she left she changed it to her mother’s maiden name as she wants no connection with him and she was her true parent. It’s also supposed to be a sort of joke because she rarely laughs. 😂
* Sam has to constantly look up to see her, whilst she barely has to tilt her head to look down. When he’s rambling, she’s just towering. 😂
* She is completely unfazed by conflict, she normally “drinks” at seedy bars and of course, there’s a ton of fights going on. She just walks on by and basically is the same energy of Lapis from Steven Universe when she says “I’ve felt worse”. People do find her interesting but her aura tells them to back off and also that her dad is a huge douchebag, something Sam obviously ignores. 😂
* She is actually very good at acting and can change her personality to fit a situation very well due to having to pretend she was someone she wasn’t in front of her dad in social situations even though when they were alone she would contest him. She doesn’t do the acting often now though. So when she becomes all giddy and a bimbo to distract someone so Sam and Guy can progress, they are shocked but Sam gets it as he also used to put on different acts and knows what it’s like for people to not like you as you are.
* She may not look it but she is very strong. Along their way, they need some sort of trinket or artefact that some dude happens to have, and she challenges him to an arm wrestle. Obviously she gets laughed at but Sam believes in her whilst the rest are sort of on the edge of their seats waiting to see what happens or trying to get her not to as they don’t want her to get hurt. Varvara wins and also wins the artefact. Sam was totally looking at her all dreamy eyed on his stomach on top of the bar watching it all unfold lol.
* She has a super goofy laugh, just like Princess Ting Ting from Mulan 2. When Sam FINALLY hears her laugh, he gets so excited and whilst she’s embarrassed and pretends she didn’t laugh, he knew it and loves her laugh.
* Imagine Sam loving heavy metal and Varvara secretly loving Barbie Girl by Aqua?
* When they first meet, because Sam finds her so interesting, he jumps up on one of the stools to be able to look at her in the eyes (she’s sitting down, but she is very tall and he is well, very short lol).
* Let’s admit it, she sort of looks emo. Sam had an emo phase and tries to “get her out of it”. He means well but obviously this pushes her away more. (This happens sort of early on). She says “This isn’t a phase, Sam”. And he’ll go “Ah, that’s what we all say”!
* She found out her dad lost his company through a newspaper. The same one at the end of season 1. She said to herself “Heh, about time”.
* But over the course of their journey, they do actually start to bond. Sam doesn’t care who she is, even though he knew her dad. This is what deepens their bond, he just gives anyone a chance like he did Guy. He lets her know that it’s okay for her to be her again, even though her mother might not be here anymore and that’s she’s safe. She also helps balance him out haha, not changing him of course, but helps him be more steady. I’m thinking at the end of their quest, they need to confront her dad. And she goes to do it, and that’s when he admits his feelings to her. But he does so whilst standing on a stool so he can look into her eyes again as she says so, just like when they first met. 🥹 Of course, he and the rest, seeing her as their family, go alongside her. :)
* Guy being Guy doesn’t trust her, not trusting her when she goes from “Leave me alone.” To FOLLOW ME! But over the course of their journey he sees actions that shows she cares rather than doesn’t.
* Michellee thinks she’s odd but gives her the benefit of the doubt.
* E.B does think she’s odd too but doesn’t hold it against her, actually warming up to her secondly after Sam.
* Pam doesn’t trust her but mainly because she doesn’t want to see her son get hurt. I think she’ll confront her at some point about how she “doesn’t care” and Varvara finally admits she does, she just doesn’t really know how to show it so does it through small actions rather than words. Pam understands this and whilst still hesitant, does begin to like her as she can see some of herself in her too and actually starts to see that her and Sam are good for each other.
