Dahlia Aquino

"Dahlia Aquino (20), a buff blue demon and warmonger who had set her sights on conquering summer next."
- Dahlia's introduction in "Monster Camp"
Dahlia Aquino is a minor NPC added to Monster Prom in the Second Term DLC. After that she became one of the six love interests in the sequel Monster Camp. She is also the blue-colored playable character in Monster Prom: REVERSE. She is Voiced by Anna Brisbin (Brizzy Voices).
== Appearance ==
Dahlia is a tall demon with blue skin, dark blue horns, and a tail with a spade-like tip. Her ears are pointy, with one having a triangular-shaped cut toward the tip. Her body is also covered in several dull pink nicks and cuts, presumably from previous fights she was involved in. Her hair is long and white, with a yellow hairband pulling it into a ponytail.
Dahlia wears a black sports bra with a skull design, black leggings, and matching sneakers.
== Personality ==
Dahlia has an aggressive and competitive attitude at practically all times. The main source of this attitude comes from her rivalry with Damien Lavey, due to her and her family's interest in taking over the 8th circle of hell, which Damien's dads rule over.
Although seemingly friendly with some of the other students at Spooky High, she rarely is seen in any scenario that doesn't somehow involve her intense rivalry with Damien, making most of her known personality revolved around that and that alone.

== Stat Requirements ==
===Monster Camp===
The game's built-in guide (available to purchase in the Meta-Shop) states, "Dahlia doesn't have preferences other than EXCELLENCE itself. She admires someone who can excel at something...anything!"
This implies that Dahlia requires the player to maximize one stat above all else.
== Relationships ==
* The Coven: In Monster Camp, Dahlia repeatedly asks to join the Coven, to which Joy repeatedly declines, citing her lack of magic and the innate rule that the Coven can only consist of three members.
**Joy Johnson-Johjima: As of Monster Camp, Dahlia and Joy, along with Damien, are in a band called Exorcism Placenta Ventagram together.https://twitter.com/monsterprom/status/1317153226534359041 Dahlia looks up to and admires Joy, and despite the latter getting annoyed with her on occasion, they ultimately get along.
*Calculester Hewlett-Packard: Dahlia and Calculester went on a trip to Italy together.https://twitter.com/monsterprom/status/1286402455459307520https://twitter.com/monsterprom/status/1314283420218871808
* Damien LaVey: In the original game, Damien and Dahlia were bitter, intensely violent rivals, as the Aquinos wished to take control of the 8th Circle of Hell from the LaVeys.
**Monster Camp: Damien and Dahlia have been rivals for a long time. They're still rivals, but in a much friendlier demeanor now. Dahlia is way chiller about her rivalry now that she realizes Damien is just a little spoiled prince kid. This makes her less obsessed with vanquishing him, as she doesn't see him as a menace nor a challenge anymore. She often mocks him for being a wimp when it comes to surviving in the wilderness. Damien gets a bit upset about Dahlia's mocking, but he doesn't take it too seriously. In the end, they've realized that they have a lot in common, and even if they're not great friends, they can share a good time together without trying to kill each other.Camp Dome Polaroid (physical copy)https://twitter.com/monsterprom/status/1271184414874222592 They, along with Joy, are also in a band called Exorcism Placenta Ventagram together.
*Liam de Lioncourt: Dahlia finds Liam to be super cute and sexy. She is not shy about sharing this, since she is extremely confident and has little knowledge about how much she should share before it becomes over-sharing. So this ignorance of any boundary makes the whole thing a bit weird and silly. Liam tends to appear annoyed at this blatant thirst at him... but it's not hard to see that he kinda enjoys it, as he craves the attention and he might be a bit interested in Dahlia himself.Stone Skipping Polaroid (physical copy)
*Milo Belladonna: Milo and Dahlia vibe really well together. Dahlia is all about seeing the strengths in every person she meets, which syncs well with Milo always trying to help people become better and feel better through their quotable life philosophies. Milo also appreciates Dahlia's infectious optimism. Both of them are very positive people who believe anything is possible if you have the right attitude. They boost each other's self-love and drive constantly. They have different ways of being happy-go-lucky: Milo goes with the flow while Dahlia is an unstoppable torrent of intensity. But they ultimately don't mind this difference and appreciate each other very much.Woods Polaroid (physical copy)https://twitter.com/monsterprom/status/1273709743551455232
*Miranda Vanderbilt: Dahlia and Miranda have a beautiful relationship in which both admire each other. Miranda is impressed by how much drive and motivation Dahlia has for everything she does. She feels as if she could learn a lot from Dahlia. On the other hand, Dahlia is constantly amazed by how naturally commanding comes to Miranda. Dahlia has always dreamt of ruling the 8th Circle of Hell, and Miranda is already the ruler of her own kingdom (in a way). This mutual respect is great and even a bit dangerous, because they will likely blindly follow each other's plans, even if those plans tend to be pretty damn horrible.Bird Watching Polaroid (physical copy)
*Scott Howl: Dahlia and Scott have a great friendship. One could say their friendship is... BUFF. Dahlia tends to see the strengths in people (except Damien) and she's not super brilliant herself, so she honestly doesn't see Scott as someone who's dumb. Instead, Dahlia sees a great team player that's always eager to offer endless loyalty and a stream of ideas... which she fails to see as bad ideas. Scott also appreciates Dahlia's love for loyalty and teamwork. Together they're unstoppable (as long as no one requires them to be smart)! And, of course, they both love working out and pushing their loved ones to become their best selves.Gym Polaroid (physical copy)
== Trivia ==
* Before she was added to the game in the Second Term DLC, Dahlia was briefly mentioned by Damien during one of his events, albeit without mentioning her actual name.
* She has a crush on Liam, shown in some events where they're both present. She tends to make sexual advances towards him, much to his dismay.
* Dahlia has shown repeated interest in wanting to be a member of the Coven, which the Coven repeatedly denies.
** According to Joy, Dahlia does not "have any magic".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-8XIE59Jaw
* Her birthday is August 25th, making her a Virgo.https://btflglitch.tumblr.com/post/183345154520/lore-reveal-are-you-a-virgo-dahlia-too-youre-so
* Similar to how Damien is named after Anton LaVey, the founder of Satanism, Dahlia is named after Michael Aquino, a high-ranking member of the original Church of Satan; dissatisfied with LaVey's running of his church, he later left and reportedly communicated with Satan, who revealed his true name as Set, and he later founded the Temple of Set with other dissatisfied ex-Satanists. Setianism is sometimes considered to be a form of Satanism, although it is not commonly thought of as so by its followers.
* She is a big fan of superheroes, such as the Wonder Twins.
*She is also a huge fan of Ariana Grande.
*A figure of Dahlia was designed by Maddy Kenyon (@maddy_paddy).https://twitter.com/maddy_paddy/status/1126924759571132416
