Annie: Hey Leon, what is your costume supposed to be?

Leon: Something that'll scare LOTS of people in their 20's and thirties.

Zach comes in.

Zach: Hey bro-

Leon then stretches himself out, including his hair.

Leon: Retuuuurn the Slaaaaab....

Zach: ...NOPE!

He zooms off and Leon laughs a little.

Annie: Ooooooh...I don't get it. What's creepy about that?

Leon: It's Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Annie: That didn't look like a dog.

Leon: No, I mean--Come on, you CAN'T be young enough to not know what that is.

Annie: Respectfully, I'm fourteen. There's a lot of stuff that I probably don't know about you and the others reference.

Leon: ...That one hurts, Annie.

Annie: Sorry.

Annie-mal (friends call her Annie) is a superhero that believes in one thing: Heroes help people. Not hurt them.

She was raised by this ideal by her two parents, who were once heroes themselves who now gave up on that life to raise their children. The mom was the original Vanish, who could turn invisible on a whim. And the dad was the infamous Any-mal, who was basically every animal at once.

Those powers were then passed down to their children...sort of. The son’s stuck being invisible and their daughter can change into any animal she wants. Regardless, their parents train their kids to follow the ideal to help others instead of hurting them.

And while Will might take difficultly in living up to that ideal, Annie will sooner chew her own foot off than raise a fist towards anyone when a helpful hand can mean just as much.

(Been thinking about making this into a webcomic. Any thoughts on that? Better yet, any questions?)

Annie-mal: “Nature vs. Nature”

Synopsis: When wild vines start sprouting and taking over the town, Annie-mal puts it upon herself to find out the problem. But by finding out that it's caused by a boy who can control plant life, Annie-mal tries to figure out a peaceful solution with him before he uproots the entire city.(Not a thing)

Annie-mal: The Most Harmless Game

Synopsis: Annie-mal ends up on the hunting grounds of a disillusioned hunter, seeking to hunt, kill, and stuff some of the hardest to catch prey. And what's more of a challenge than the 14-year-old girl who can turn into any animal she wants? Meaning that Annie's gonna have to end up using her head before she loses it to a psycho calling himself Hunt-Man...he's disillusioned. Not creative.

Disclaimer: This is not a thing that's happening. I just made this for fun ;)

Heres a Team Action question specifically for Annie: Since she can turn into things like a Doberman and can memorize specific scents, what does the rest of her teammates smell like?

Annie: *Sniffs Bruce* Lots of whiskey. Like, so much whiskey you could never wash off. *Sniffs Emily* Like a strawberry milkshake, strangely. *Sniffs Zach* Gummy bears, Twizzlers, and a HINT of a burrito. *Sniffs Leon* A lot like Zach but with a hint of whipped cream instead. *Sniffs Jess* Ooh, like a fresh campfire. *Sniffs Max* Eugh, and motor oil with coffee...

Emily: Is your MOM okay with you watching so many....uh....dark films?

Annie: Of course. She and I watch Alien and predator movies together.

She says that a protagonist like Ripely is one that's important to look up to: Smart and willing to do anything to save others.

...I can respect that way of thinking.

Thanks!

Since Halloween is coming up month, here's a thought: I can't help but imagine Annie asking an adult team member to do a pair costume with her and have them be Pennywise while she goes out in a bloody rainslicker with a paper boat.

...Uh...Wouldn't...Wouldn't you rather go as a bunny again? Or something?

No, the costume doesn't fit me anymore. Plus, your stretchy powers will make it all the more convincing! If you stretch your jaw out, you could probably scare off a few kids!

...You...WANT that?

Of course. Life's no fun without a good scare on Halloween.

(In the distance)

WHAT ARE YOU?!

I can't help but now picture Annie playing Dead By Daylight.

(This adorable little bundle of sunshine would decimate her enemies and hunt them like cattle. UwU)
