Vriska Serket

Vriska Serket is the twenty-fifth playable character in Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown.
==Character Description==
Vriska Serket is one of the twelve beta trolls in Homestuck. Continuously being referred to as a "huge bitch", Vriska is a master manipulator who thrives off excitement. She has a desire to become her own hero, no matter who gets hurt. She has a mastery over luck, proclaiming to have all of it.
==== Role in the Beatdown Lore ====
Vriska was one of the fighters invited to the experimental character recruitment at the Beatdown Colosseum. She arrived after the Crystal Gems, and began shredding through Training Dummies with little effort. She convinced the Gems to fight alongside her; with Amethyst admiring her talent, Garnet ready to continue fighting, and Pearl begrudgingly fighting with the vulgar troll. After The Batter, Mrs. Mavilda and Harry Freakin' Potter also arrive to join the fight, Vriska is formally invited alongside the rest of the colosseum fighters to the roster. Vriska and the others were brought to a welcome party in the mansion, where she reunited with John Egbert and Karkat Vantas. She noticed Ozpin leaving the party through a staff only door to the basement, but disregarded it for the time being.
In BeatdownBound, it's revealed that Vriska for a while has had her head filled with static occasionally, with important memories being blocked out. She can remember most of her life up to the coin flip between her and Terezi, but after that, things become static. This, combined with Vriska's frustrations and insecurities about her self worth to the mansion, lead her to try and directly investigate the source of the static. After hearing about Tord's break in, she becomes convinced that he has something to do with it. She begins tailing him, and trying to see what he does and where he goes.
Vriska is one of the unlockable characters in BeatdownBound. After Frisk gives Vriska the Magic Cue Ball, which they obtain after defeating Garfield the Deals Warlock in Fantasy Costco, Frisk is able to "Be Vriska", allowing you to take control of her. Vriska has a handful of comments for the characters within the Colosseum; including making the threat to mind control Kiran to use Breidablik, challenging Gary Oak to a fight, goading Stu Pickles to make more difficult dummies, and fighting Grey. It is also revealed that Garnet doesn't trust her, with Vriska apparently teaching Amethyst how to swear.
Vriska would end up secretly viewing Tord's battle with Sixshot from a distance, and would film the battle on her phone as part of her independent investigation. The Sheriff of Nottingham would watch as she surveyed the scene once Tord and Sixshot left.
While Vriska enjoyed her time screwing around in the mansion and training, one evening she noticed the Crystal Gems leaving the mansion with their weapons ready. Vriska watched them, and was noticed by Karkat who wanted to know what she was up to. She gave him a vague explanation saying she had many plans being made and absconded to her room. There, she viewed her bulletin board tracking Tord's activity and connections. Later that night, she would strike and trap Tord while he attempted to break into a jewelry store. With him cornered and disarmed, she would interrogate him about her forgotten memories, confiding in the static she sees and how she can't deal with it anymore and getting aggressive when he denies any involvement. Tord reveals that his own memories are distorted and static, and reveals also that the mansion break-in gave him no information on memories. Vriska tells Tord that there must be some forces out there messing with them, and presents it as an inadvertent way for them to work together. Tord rejects a team-up, and Vriska would resort to plan B through manipulating him with her psionics. Before she could get him asleep, Spamton would burst from the dumpster and flood them with pipis (alongside a mini Spamton that hides in her hair). Tord escapes, and Vriska tries catching up to him only to see him enter an alleyway inhabited by the Crystal Gems. She gets pissed that they are "meddling" with her, but notices a piece of paper Tord dropped.
Back at the Mansion, Ozpin pulls Vriska aside to talk with her about the events of that night. Vriska is hostile towards Ozpin, who tries to be inviting and nurturing. She goes on the defensive but shuts down once he asks her "who are you really?" and once Ozpin goes back to the matter at hand, she denies everything. Ozpin leaves, and reassures her that she can talk to him about anything. She returns to her room (while getting messages from Karkat), and adds the piece of paper dropped from Tord to her bulletin board; with Sigmund Corporation being her next target.
== Moveset ==
===Playstyle===
Vriska Serket is not just a huge bitch, but a very skilled manipulator who uses strength or dirty tricks to get what she wants. Vriska on her own fights very directly, getting in the faces of her opponents for direct confrontations. It's when she brings in her luck skills that she is able to place foes in situations that benefit her the most, or even put them at a great disadvantage. When Vriska is outmaneuvered or isn't allowed to get close enough to manipulate her foes, that's when her strategy falls apart. Vriska's aim is to manipulate the match in her favor by any means necessary, with her luck manipulation (as we’ll see later) being her greatest strength.
