Bad future Bow

She stayed behind on the planet, living with one of the directors. But some time after both directors had gone, the studio mysteriously burnt down, and no one had seen her since.

what is bad future bow's story?

oops, totally forgot to answer this one, my b

so basically, she was made to be over-the-top edgy as a contrast to the usual happy, well adjusted hat/bow/mustache adult interpretations

its also (originally) a continuation of one of my au bows

i say this as a preface bc haha its edgy (and also long wow i did not realize how long this was)

Once Hat Kid finished collecting the last of the time pieces, it came time to say good-bye... only, Bow Kid wasn't so ready to leave. You see, Bow didn't have a home, or family back where Hat Kid was from. All her friends were here, on this strange little planet!

Bow wanted to stay.

Hat Kid didn't try to change her mind, and left on her own. Afterwards, Bow stayed with DJ Grooves and Conductor, becoming more invested in the movie making business. Over the years she got better at fighting, partially to make action scenes more believable, partially to keep the mafia from hurting her friend... More peculiarly, Bow began to develop and hone a powerful magic unbeknownst to the planet, portals, phasing, even The Snatcher dared not mess with her. For a time, she was happy.

But birds don't live forever.

After the directors' passing, Bow was swallowed by grief, and shut herself off from the world. Even Mu, who had become one of her closest friends, couldn't get through to her.

For some time, the movie studio was empty, save for Bow... and then, one day, it erupted into flames. Some tried to put out the fire, but they were too late, most of it was lost to the inferno. Then the questions arose, where was the girl? Where was Bow?

It was common knowledge she had been spending all her time in that building's empty halls, and yet no one saw her amidst the ashes. No one knew where she was and no one could find her.

Of course, she was there, at least, in the beginning. She would have likely died, had she not been pulled from the fire by a figure not even she could identify.

This unfamiliar figure offered her a job. With her abilities, she proved more than capable of offering the services they desired. It was simple, every now and then, she receives a target's name, and upon successful elimination of that target, she gets paid.

She didn't accept at first, she wasn't a monster! ... but it didn't take long for her to lose her integrity.

By the time Hat (formerly kid) returned to the planet, the Bow she knew was a distant memory.

do you have more info you can share about your bad bow au?? :oo or any of your other ones if you want to share?

mainly just the original sketches of her

and an umbrella weapon

but besides all that, i figure i've just about covered all her bases!

Well.

Besides her eye, that is.

Aside Bad Future Bow, I have talked about TR!Bow pretty decently I think, but there's also Cybow, Bowmega, Proto-Bow, and "Eggsy".

I always feel like I have more than that.. Huh.
