Jessie:

None of the submissions wanted to be posted. No propaganda received either.

Clementine Kesh:

She’s a failed girlboss. She wants to rule the planet so desperately and pilots an ancient historical mech and has no idea what it does. Her rival is infinitely cooler than her. She dies after a religious leader criticises her too much and she tries to scrap with him but she falls off the side of a stationary space ship. Pathetic wet cat energy all the time.

war criminal... and her mom is mean to her

Kesh is so pathetic they became the devils favorite clown and they think that means the devil likes them

Sha Hualing:

Went from one of the top three wives in the original book to underpaid secretary of the same dude. AND was forced into a front seat of his insane love life (him spending 5 years trying to resurrect his dead teacher whos also his gay crush). Also at some point she tried to prove that the girl who is considered extremely beautiful aint shit, tore off her veil, and promptly Screamed. That wasn't really explained further in the book, but fandom consensus diagnosed this as a gay panic moment.

the most bisexual disaster cringefail pathetic girl you have ever met. she literally screamed in the face of the girl she immediately caught feelings for. i love my failwife so bad

[DM i received] she's so cringefail and pathetic that her name got spelled wrong by accident

Propaganda: [1]

Kikimora:

She's pathetic and cringe but also evil. No mum I can't visit you I'm busy trying not to get murdered by my boss for never winning a battle ever. She wants to murder a bunch of teenagers. She also actively envies an abused child who is one of a long line of abused and murdered children, making her both the only person shown to know about this factor, and the only person who wants to be in his position. Something is so fundamentally wrong with her and I love her.

Goromi:

exists purely to flirt with a completely uninterested dude and then get her ass kicked into the pavement

i love her dearly she literally made a whole ass scene at the club just so she could see kiryu. she literally had her outfit SPECIFICALLY MADE for kiryu. she is down atrocious

Higuchi Ichiyō:

She's hopelessly in love with her boss (that boss happens to have a homoerotic rivalry/partnership with another man), and she stalks him and worships the ground he walks on. She's one of the only people in the series that even cares about him, and he sees her as nothing more than an annoyance. She's on the side of the bad guys, but she's pretty nice and isn't actually good at being a bad guy. Oh and once she meets her Boss's sister, she starts simping for her as well. She also has no friends, the people she is in charge of don't respect her, she doesn't seem to have any family, and she gets along better with her group's enemies than the people who are supposed to be on the same side as her. Also, she's one of the only prominent side characters that doesn't have a super power. She lives in a world where most of the people she works with are downright superhuman, while she's just there as the token nonpowered woman. She doesn't even get a love interest that likes her back. She doesn't even have a lonely-person cat.

Alphys:

Loser [bisexual] nerd otaku that commited unethical experiments and now feels guilty <3

Eva Heinenmann

Breaks up with her fiancé when he loses his position as an esteemed doctor and laughs to his face and then 9 years later it's her who cannot get over it and when she asks him to get back with her and gets rejected she decides to make it everyone else's problem. She's mean she's shallow and she has so many problems I love her. When she finds out her ex-fiancé is a murder suspect she decides to testify against him and make sure he gets arrested even though she isn't actually sure if he committed the crimes (he did not btw) so she's basically framing him out of bitterness. Like 90% of the personality section in her wiki is just listing her flaws and for some reason I find that so funny. Despite all the shitty behavior she's pretty easy to empathize with. Like yeah she might be a spoilt rich brat of an adult woman but it's also pretty clear her shittiest moments are a product of her spiralling more and more after her father's death and getting caught up in all the plot stuff. She also gets some pretty good character development by the end and starts going to therapy

Vain and superficial. Incredibly bitter over her fiancé, Tenma, refusing to get back together with her that she testifies to the police against him and helps them accuse him of her father's murder, even though she doesn't really even believe he did it. She's been through multiple failed marriages, and blows all of her inheritance/divorce settlement money on alcohol and expensive stuff. Ends up burning down her own house after finding out a guy she started to fall in love with had a wife. She's truly a pathetic failwoman and I love her for it. A huge bitch and I love for her that too. While she does become a better person by the end of the series and find happiness, she's still a wet cardboard box of a woman and deserves to win this tournament thumbsup

Deandra “Dee” Reynolds:

Everyone she dates dumps her within a week, her entire friend group dunks on her exclusively yet she still stays with them, she banged dozens of ugly men, is always the butt of every joke and became a crackhead just to scam welfare

Look at her. She cannot function the one time she was close to being a normal human being was when she disowned her twin brother but even then she went back to being friends with him and became cringefail icon

GLaDOS:

shes lonely, has no friends, practically talks to herself, lives in a potato

Eleanor Shellstrop:

not really cringe more arizona trash bag

she got sent to Hell with a capital H because she just sucked in life. in Hell with a capital H she was tortured for i think a few centuries in Hell with a capital H time (jeremy bearimy baby) and wasn’t allowed to say fuck during any of it. specifically she was tortured in a simulation where she was in heaven but because she was such a bad person she knew she didn’t belong there. over the course of the show she gets less pathetic but is still incredibly cringe. also she canonically died in a grocery store parking lot because she dropped a bottle of margarita mix and a row of shopping carts sped towards her, and though she managed to hold onto the shopping carts, they then plowed into a truck advertising erectile disfunction pills. thats how she died. ultimate cringefail woman behavior.
