Bystander

"I'M LIKE A TOURIST, ALWAYS RECORDS. NEVER DO ANYTHING, BIG OR SMALL."-Bystander when interacting with the Player.
Bystander is a Horrorbrew created by @pencildoods. She is a demon who has a deep interest towards haunted game entities and looks out for people to help her in research, and to do so she resides inside a Super Mario Land fangame called “SML: The Crimson Kingdom”, observing its players with the help of her Hoodies to see if they are up to the task.
==Biography==
Bystander has her own lore doc, which can be checked out here. But to summarize, she resides inside a Super Mario Land fangame called “The Crimson Kingdom” watching the player (with the Hoodies serving as “extra eyes”) with the intention to convince them to help with her research towards haunted game entities.
==Personality==
Bystander can be energetic and cheerful similar to the character she’s disguises as (Princess Daisy), but also reserved whenever she’s doing research or enjoying herself, not wanting to be interrupted. She has a positive view on other creatures such as non-demons and humans, with the latter being seen as “strange yet interesting beings”.
As much as Bystander’s past actions were questionable to say the least, she isn’t necessarily evil, and will always try to be a kind and understanding person to her subjects and anyone close to her, with the main examples being how she treats her Hoodies very well and how she will let you go if you refuse her offer to help her. However, this doesn’t mean she is pure, as she can also be selfish and do things for her own benefit, along with being violent whenever she gets angry. But in general, she has her flaws, but can be genuinely a good person.
==Abilities/Weaknesses==
===Abilities===
*Shapeshifting: Bystander can change her form to (almost) whatever she wants. She can shapeshift into characters from other games like Sonic, Pac-Man, Baldi’s Basics, etc… 
*Teleporting: Bystander can teleport from a place to another in a matter of minutes.
*Dimension-Hopping: One of Bystander’s main traits; she can travel to different worlds to meet different types of creatures and victims.
*Entity creation: Bystander is really creative, so creating entities such as the Hoodies for example, is quite a piece of cake.
*Swiftiness: Bystander is really fast, I don't know what else I can say.
*Sharp teeth/nails: Whenever Bystander needs to physically fight, she uses her sharp teeth and nails to cause massive damage. They can also be used to cut and eat meat more efficiently. 
*Game design: After watching many tutorials online, Bystander developed decent skills on game creation which includes coding, sound effects, music, and art.
*Game manipulation: Bystander is able to change elements in the game she's residing, which can be code, levels, enemies, etc...
*Soul manipulation: Bystander can transfer the soul of someone to a software or empty vessel, but in order to do so, she needs to kill the person first.
*Professional liar: Maybe due to not wanting to get herself into trouble, Bystander mastered her ability to convince and trick people, so if she seems suspiciously submissive, in reality she’ll backstab them if they are seen as a threat or nuisance to her.
*Crucial knowledge: After seeing several entities, Bystander knows about their abilities and weaknesses, giving her an opportunity to plan her attacks and to escape whenever she feels threatened.
===Weaknesses===
*Cockiness: Bystander has quite the ego, and won’t respond lightly to objections or views that drastically differ from hers.
*Software limitations: Despite Bystander having game manipulation abilities, they need to be in a level in which the software can take up to; this includes her being unable to reside inside a cartridge with +100 souls inside, for example (yes, souls take up space).
*Emotional instability: As much as Bystander keeps her head straight, if you know how to touch someone’s sensitive side, you can put her in a position of desperation, most likely to break down.
*Attention problems: Depending on the situation, even the smallest thing can distract Bystander and shift her focus, causing open targets to appear.
*Impulsiveness: Even though Bystander doesn’t interfere in entities’ business, sometimes she’ll not think straight and assume she has control over the situation only to realize that it’s not the case most of the time.
==Trivia==
*pencildoods encourages people to post Bystander fanarts under the hashtags #BystanderSweep 
*#BonelessPizza is also another tag for Bystander, but this one in specific is used for story-related content only, and it’s preferable if people use the sweep tag for fanart.
*As you can probably tell, Bystander’s favorite Mario character is Princess Daisy, most specifically her Classic version.
*The reason on why Bystander has scars is because she accidentally cuts herself with her fingernails whenever she scratches her skin.
*Bystander is supposed to be a Mario Mix of Shady Guy, a character present in the FNF mod “Sonic Legacy”, and this can be seen on how both like to study about EXEs (difference is one is Sonic-themed and the other is Mario-themed) and design similarities, especially with Bystander’s old design.
*Bystander is an AuDHD.
*The Disguise Form for Bystander will be always black and white no matter if the game she’s inside has a wider color palette or not.
*Bystander has a black parasol with white diamond-shaped stamps on it.
*Due to most of the Mario games from the 90s 'till early 2000s don't have many Daisy appearances, Bystander will replace Princess Peach instead, but its only for convenience reasons, as her Disguise Form will stay the same. 
*Bystander keeps her boots in her Disguise Form, so she can walk/run normally.
*Just like the Princesses in the games, Bystander can float around with her dress upon jumping from a high platform.
*Bystander ate human meat and still does sometimes, but since they come from sacrifices, she is not willing to kill a human herself for feasting. Also, she prefers chicken tenders anyways...
*Besides writing and reading books, Bystander has other hobbies such as drawing, playing games, singing, etc…
*Despite being a demon, showing a cross or any religious object will not kill Bystander.
*Bystander’s favorite food and drink are lasagna and coffee with milk, respectively.
*Bystander’s favorite Mario games are Super Mario All-Stars, Super Mario 3D World and Mario Kart Wii, while her favorite consoles are the Nintendo Wii, Nintendo 3DS and the Nintendo Switch.
*Bystander visits normal Mario games too, and if she happens to stumble onto the player, she won’t be hostile at all and might even tag with them, giving them some items in case of any assistance needed. 
*Bystander befriended your parents last night!
