Vanilla Folia

Vanilla is an employee of The Magical Girl Society. Originally believing they were a mundie without any magical abilities, their primary job was testing magical artifacts, acting as a "control" due to them not activating any epithet or magical side effects. However, it was later revealed in Short Story 11 that they do in fact have an "epithet", but it had simply not awakened yet. 
==Powers==
Vanilla has two kits. A Mundie kit and a "Falsehood" kit. 
When using their mundie kit, Vanilla primarily relies on their wits, speed, and the magical artifacts they are given to test. 
Their Falsehood kit on the other hand acts somewhat similar to an epithet kit. They have a guessable word which their mechanics are based off of. Their falsehood allows them to analyze souls and create weapons from memories. The strength and effects of these weapons are dependent on the memory in question, with more traumatizing memories being more powerful. 
Their Falsehood also allows them to take something called a "False Action". These roll a d100 are VERY difficult to counter, and Vanilla can only use these False Actions a limited number of times before... something scary happens. Neither Vanilla nor James know what this scary thing is other than, quote "Vanilla will no longer be [James's] character".

Vanilla appeared as a tag-along NPC as the party explored the convention, giving occasional information about the event to the party as needed.

During the fight against Abyssia, Vanilla mostly stayed out of the party's way. They spending most of the combat trying to fight off General Nuisance, who was attacking Chrysanthemum.

===Short Story 11===
Vanilla and Gwydion were at an unknown location that was revealed later in the short story to be a part of Lushvar (Gwydion's school). Through unknown means, this place had allowed them to unlocked Vanilla's "epithet". Due to both the location this was taking place at, the nature of their "epithet", and the plot importance of it, this caught the attention of the in-universe cameras. However, it was not shown on the television channel, but instead DBA's YouTube (or YouTube equivalent) channel. The scene opened immediately after their "epithet" was awakened, moments before Vanilla's opened their eyes. 
Vanilla was trapped in their mind, struggling against an entity that had been awakened with their "epithet". This entity caused Vanilla to relive some of their worse memories repeatedly before bringing them to a realm full of orange light. The entity talked to Vanilla, who was unable to turn to see them. It informed Vanilla that they were stuck with it now, but it was willing to "help" them, providing them something in return. Vanilla asked for the ability to become stronger so that they could be the one to save others instead of being saved. Vanilla acknowledged that it was cliche and probably not the smartest idea, but still went with it. After making this deal, Vanilla was able to turn to face the entity, who looked like their exact mirror, but as they looked, the entity warped, showing battle scars and evidence of living through many conflicts. 
Back in reality, Vanilla opened their eyes, and it was revealed that their left eye had become orange. A robot, which Gwydion refered to as "teach", started to enter "protocol" upon seeing this. it warned the duo to run before destroying itself. The room they were in was jettisoned from the plane it was orignally in and the pair barely managed to escape mere moments after the room crashlanded in world with an orange star and a goliath threatening to destroy them. They materialised back in the material plane, Vanilla still with their orange eye and Gwydion now missing his card to Lushvar. 
The short story would have ended there but then Vanilla rolled a 700 on a d700. From Gwydion's perspective, Vanilla suddenly dispeared. Vanilla found themself in a white void of a plane with only a couch, television, and a single figure. The figure was revealed to be a Drown known as "Sloth". He was watching the previous part of the Short Story on his televion. Despite summoning Vanilla, he was unable to remember why he brought them there. He brought up the subject of DBA, as it is one of the very few things that appear to interest the being. During the conversation Vanilla mentioned Gwydion losing his school card, which upset Sloth. He summoned a robot refered to as "Grand Master" to the plane, repremanding them and demanding that they give Gwydion back his card. After sending the robot away, it was revealed that Sloth was the one who created the school. They then continued their conversation, with Sloth offering to watch some episodes with them. They first watched episode 150, the process taking only a fraction of a moment. When asked about episodes Vanilla would like to rewatch, they mentioned 95, which they consider to be one of their favorites. After watching that episode, Vanilla asked if Sloth had watched 92. Vanilla expressed a strong hatred for Unverse, becoming slightly wary when Sloth mentioned that he had similar abilities to the witch, though the Drow clarified that the two did not share the same goals. 
Eventually Vanilla requested to be sent home, which Sloth easily agreed to do. Vanilla appeared back to the spot they had been before being summoned to Sloth's plane, where Gwydion had been spending the last half hour pacing around and trying to come up with a spell to get them back.
===Episode 152===
Vanilla trauma power hour.
Towards the beginning of the episode, when the party arrived at the barrier, Vanilla touched it and momentarily became possessed by someone. This person puppeting Vanilla was able to use them to open a way through the barrier, allowing Vanilla and the party through. Once inside Vanilla regained control of their body, but being a disoriented ball of fear and stress, they didn't reveal when happened to them to the party.
It was revealed in the final combat that Vanilla's sister died during the events of 92 while protecting Vanilla. This is considered Vanilla's most traumatic memory, and thus this memory created Vanilla's strongest weapon.
===Downtime: The Dawnhart Special===
Gwydion decided to throw a party to help cheer Vanilla up after they had to deal with the back-to-back double whammy of Falsehood awakening and Orange Hell. Vanilla spent most of the party hanging out with their Magical Girl Society colleagues Marigold and Lorelye. 
Occassionally throughout the party, Vanilla was haunted by "Rob Plot", parcially due to others trying to give them advice on what to do with their new found cursed af powers, and partcially due to them forgetting the old adage "names have power". The most notible of these moments was when the genie Tajvahl warned them to be careful because "Rob is terrifying". Vanilla immediately asked "Who's Rob?" and thus the monkey's paw curled. After this traspired, Vanilla found an invitation for a location known as "Paradise" that kept appearing in their pocket no matter how many times people tried to destroy it. This upset many people, including Gwydion and Marigold. However, Marigold requested Vanilla give the card to her and the invitation-pocket-curse was moved to her instead.
Later into the party, Vanilla got heavily drunk on a beverage Gwydion gave them called "The Dawnhart Special". They then proceeded to become obsessed with Gwydion's robotic rats, flirt with at Gwydion, and promptly passed out. They spent the rest of the party sleeping in Gwydion's room. When the Magical Girl Society trio went to leave, Marigold had to practically carry Vanilla's limp body back to their apartment. 
=== Episode 155===
They were in the stands watching Lycoris fight.
===Episode 156===
Vanilla was in their apartment when the party arrived. Gwydion was also visiting the apartment at the time, having come to checkup on his friend shortly after realizing there was a "catpocolypse" happening. Vanilla provided the party some information about the artifact they were searching for, but didn't know where the missing item was or remember anything strange happening when they were at work. Despite the "catpocolypse" effecting their appearance, Vanilla was one of the few people who wasn't mentally afflicted by the artifacts, or at least not in an outwardly obvious way.
=== Downtime: The Rizar Family ===
Vanilla attended the party because they were on baby sitting duty for Lycoris's son Aurea. They talked to a few other party goers, including their friends Avery, Gen, and Elin. Elin pestered Vanilla about their relationship with Gwydion. Eventually they admitted that they do have a crush on him, but are afraid of making this awkward if he doesn't feel the same way, so they won't act on their feelings unless Gwydion does. 
Later into the party Vanilla did what they always do at parties and got blackout drunk. However, they did this while talking with Tavor, so can you really blame them?
===Episode 165===
Vanilla was spending the day at DBA with their friends Gwydion and Nicole when the group heard about a man messing around at a nearby park. The trio decided to investigate, coming across a man who called himself "Uncle". The group talked with the man for a short while before two other interested parties, Regent Black and Maso, appeared. The party soon learned that Uncle suffered from memory loss, to the point that he could not remember his epithet. After Regent Black gussed Uncle's epithet (Mentor), Gwydion was able to deduce that the man was Zander. The three went off to discuss what to do with this information and came to the conclusion to keep him in their sight due to being on camera, in an attempt to help others watching gather information. 
Despite their anxiety, Uncle proved to be a relatively chill guy. He offered to show the group a series of caves that he descovered were hidden under the area. The party agreed to go with him to investigate it, but before they could leave, Izuru and one of his Bloodstone Island prisoners appeared. The two decided to tag along with the group. The party found a large, empty city hiding in the cave. Despite their being no signs of people left in the area, they found many strange anomolies in the area, such as a tent in the market area that contained caged live snakes and their feed, which was still fresh, and various papers and books that had no text. 
Vanilla briefly talked with Thirio in the caves. He had decided to travel into the area after overhearing the researcher mentioning to Gwydion and Nicole that they had been wanting to talk with him. They asked the blue goo man if he knew anything about Truths, but he unfortunately didn't. He did, however, know a small bit about Falsehoods, due to his brother having one. Said brother had appearently been trapped in another world, and after describing this brother, Vanilla realized he was the orange creature they had fought in episode 152. Vanilla voiced their worries over possibly killing him, but Thirio assured them that it would be way harder than that to kill him. Vanilla let him know that they would be visiting Oran once he woke up from the coma he was in due to the events of 150. 
Despite all of the clues that would point to some horrible shit happening to the party while investigating the abandoned city, nothing much came about it. Vanilla and Gwydion were able to clean some information about the town, such as it's name (New Haven), they were not able to discover why the town was empty or burried so far underground. The party eventually decided to leave, all going to get nuggets from the local Munchies.
=== Episode 22 part 2 part 2 ===
Vanilla was in the audience at the start of the episode, intending to watch the scheduled PVP before it was interrupted. Dante invited them to join the party in their attempt to fix the power and find what was warping the area. 
Vanilla spent most of the episode sticking with Astra, who had started to work with them at the Magical Girl Society. The pair in general used the adventure as a chance to get some co-worker bounding in. 
There was also an ongoing bit of Vanilla trying to help Andy when he failed an action by showing him how to properly do some, usually telling him, “No, no! More like this.” However, Vanilla’s luck was horrible in the episode, so most of the time it did not work and Andy ignored them or was annoyed by their input. At the end of the episode, the roles were reversed and he helped them retry a failed action, saying the same line Vanilla had been saying the whole time.
During both of the combats Vanilla was in, they pulled the cursed sword from their hammer space and lent it to Brave. This proved to be a terrifying combo due to mundies not receiving any negative effects from the item and an upgrade that allows the user to spend stamina to reroll the damage dice.
After the party defeated Notwonaga and found themselves in the DBA lobby, Vanilla complained about having a headache and made plans to break into Gwydion’s house to pet his robotic rats. Astra requested to join them, and so the two left together (with some help from Whirieu because Astra couldn’t move and Vanilla is too much of a twink to drag her all the way to their car).
