Rookie Hultenberg

Rookie Hultenberg is the main protagonist of Rookie Mistakes.
== Appearance ==
Rookie Hultenberg is a young-adult with brown ponytailed hair, brown eyes, and pink glasses. She wears a pink T-shirt with a black stripe in the middle, cyan and blue sleeves, blue denim jeans, white socks, and black Mary Janes shoes.
In her alter ego, Susan Hultenberg, during her pre-regeneration, she has long, brown hair, a gray shirt, shorts that are torn on her legs, and was barefoot. Her appearance is the same in her corrupted form, except that she has dark colored stains on her shirt, which represents black blood, along with pink eyes behind a purple mask of mist. In her post-regeneration form, Nightingale, she wears a gray beanie with a crescent moon shaped patch, a gray sweater, black leggings, and white shoes. 
In her superheroine form, Miss Invisillusion, she wears a pink safety helmet with rocks on top, a moonstone in the center, and red, white and blue lines on the sides. She also wears a pink, frilled dress, a white cape, white elbow guards and gloves with pink trimmings, a yellow belt with a silver circle at the center, and black leggings.
In her villain form, Lady Entropy, she wears an aluminum foil helmet with a green and blue gem at the center. She also wears a white, high collar attached to her pink, long T-dress. In addition, she wears gray aluminum foil decor that connects to the collar and dark red cape, along with magenta pants and aluminum foil boots.
== Personality ==
Born with autism, Rookie is a grown adult who is intelligent, creative, and somewhat childlike. She can be a bit pessimistic in reality, which results in short tempers or large outbursts, but luckily she finds various ways to control her behavior and be more optimistic as she hopes to see a better and brighter future ahead. 
Rookie has a memory storage of over 10,000+ memories that derive from her experiences in childhood up to adulthood, all of which create a scene of reality. This implies that she can remember anything that she had previously experienced in those stages. For example, In one memory, she refuses to answer questions from fictional characters in preschool TV shows. This occurs in two instances - as a child, where she keeps herself silent and watches the whole episode from beginning to end (sometimes, she changes the channel after a question is asked.), and as a young adult during her hangout with her friend Riley Mayhaven while watching a movie together.

** Strangely, her howls can attract the neighbor's dogs in her father's Ranch. 
* Grounding immunity - In both her normal and superhero/villain form, Rookie is unaffected by the grounding ability from her father due to Altriga AI rescuing her life from despair. 
* Hydrokinesis - Rookie is able to produce tears, either when her eyes get really dry or she starts crying, which affects healing.
** Her tears were also used to summon water babies as well as summoning flowers from the ground. 
* Superhero/villain transformation - Rookie is capable of transforming into Miss Invisillusion with enough positive feelings or when her determination is at its peak, or Lady Entropy when she becomes mischievous, feels depressed, or has an undying love for the South Park character Butters Stotch. 
* Telepathy - Rookie can communicate with the minds of another individual or other animals. 
* Internal Dialogue - Rookie is capable of using internal dialogue in both her normal and superhero form from her brain, allowing her to improvise the story's dialogue from the original.
** Most of the dialogue is done with the help of Rookie's imaginary friends, using references from her favorite moments or quotes in TV shows and video games.
* Moderate Pain Tolerance - Rookie is able to handle pain, both mentally and physically (i.e. menstrual cramps, flu shots, etc.). 
* Regen Song - Because of her musical talent, Rookie's ability to sing heals herself or her allies while removing negative stats.
* Sonic Screaming - Due to her short to mid temper, Rookie's screams are loud enough to shatter glass.
*Bioluminescence - Normally, her eyes glow in the dark which allow her to see things during nighttime. In her superhero form, her eyes glow red whenever she feels tension, stress, or insane. 
*Time Warping - Thanks to Altriga AI's ability to recover old data files, Rookie can now access her save files of her favorite shows and games, using a set of Hope Keys, to undo her actions.

* Musical talent - Rookie is shown to be good at playing the flute and the ukulele. She is also good at singing, however, she only does it privately
** Rookie will occasionally sing if her positive feelings are at its peak.
** She used to play the piano as a child, but finds it complicated.
* Bilingualism - Rookie sometimes uses a few words/phrases in Japanese (which derived from the Japanese anime that Rookie watches on her computer).
** Susan, on the other hand, used to speak her own native language in the past called Wolffian, which was a custom language that she developed for the Animalia kingdom. She uses Wolffian to verbally communicate with animals in a similar fashion to Arabic tajwid, including animal noises as a greeting. 
* Sign Language - Rookie is shown to communicate with deaf students in ASL. 
* Disguise - TBA
* Speed Reading - TBA

== Trivia ==
* Rookie's real name is Rachel according to her information page. 
** Her earlier names for both her normal and alter-ego self were Lady Anime and Madame Wolf. 
*Micro Rookie, Robo Rookie, Test Subject 2906, and Leila Perle were the only egos that are separate from Rookie's, as they appear as other characters. 
* Her birthstones are not only peridot, but also spinel and sardonyx.
* Despite being autistic, she is prone to nose picking, nail biting, procrastinating, and worrying too much. 
* She is good with handling small children and communicating with animals, including dogs.
* She doesn't have an actual boyfriend, but she tends to fall in love with fictional characters from her favorite video games or TV shows that she watched (i.e. Werewolf Cookie from Cookie Run Kingdom, Butters Stotch from South Park, etc.).
* As a child, her catchphrase was "a-doobie-asa-smile (pop)", which has no actual meaning. However, her current catchphrase is "what do you mean [said quote]?!", which is a reference to the Genshin Impact meme "Ehe te Nandayo?!" 
* In Susan Hultenberg's corrupted form, the purple mask of mist makes a reference to Yo-Kai Watch, while the black ink/blood makes a reference to Bendy and the Ink Machine. 
* Her superhero persona, Miss Invisillusion, takes inspiration from feminine superheroines including:
** Mantis from Guardians of the Galaxy - however, rather than manipulating people’s minds and emotions, she actually reads them. 
** Starlight from The Boys 
* Her villain persona, Lady Entropy, takes inspiration from Professor Chaos from South Park and The Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. 
** Her gem on her helmet resembles either a Turquoise or Jacksepticeye's mascot, Septiceye Sam. 
** Her laugh may be a reference to Monokuma's "puhuhuhu" from the Danganronpa franchise. 
* Her immunity to get grounded is likely a reference to South Park: The Fractured But Whole where the New Kid is immune to grounding from Stephen Stotch.
* Her shirt is inspired by The Powerpuff Girls, which incorporates the colors pink, cyan, green, and black.
** This alludes that she used to be a huge fan of The Powerpuff Girls classic TV show that she watched as a kid, along with the reboot growing up. 
*Rookie enjoys listening to Lofi Girl and Vocaloid songs.
* She has many fandoms, but her current ones are Genshin Impact, Undertale, Steven Universe, South Park, Danganronpa, One Piece, Cookie Run Kingdom, Pretty Cure/Glitter Force, Hazbin Hotel, Vocaloid, and Cuphead. 
** She used to play Genshin Impact in 2020, but moved on to Cookie Run Kingdom due to the amount of storage on her phone. As of now, she listens to the character voice lines from the unofficial Genshin Impact wiki. 
** She watched Bijuu Mike play Danganronpa (with the exception of the finale, the class trials that are 2 hours long, and Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultimate Despair Girls) and is willing to play it, but she is still thinking about it. 
*** She has seen the English dub of Danganronpa the Animation before on her laptop via Bloomu (Hulu)
** While watching South Park, she skips the intro to get straight into the episode. This is most likely the fact that after the theme song ends, a commercial break plays for 3 minutes. 
***Because of the fact that she has a South Park persona with the same name, she is not affiliated with South Park, its creators, and distributors.
**It was revealed that her brother, Junie, also had an interest in One Piece. However, Rookie watches it in English dub on Bloomu (Hulu) while Junie watches it with the original Japanese audio and English Subtitles on Flexinet (Netflix).
**She has listened to a majority of the songs from the Steven Universe soundtracks on Signify (Spotify).
* She finds South Park: The Fractured But Whole (Nintendo Switch port) the greatest game of all time because of the references from police brutality and Black Lives Matter that gained attention in 2020.
** In reality, she splits the game up to 3-4 parts depending on how much time she has in real life. For example, she stops halfway at the mission The Hundred Hands of Chaos before the Chaos Kids ambush due to her South Park superhero persona's kryptonite being the Chaos Kids and Professor Chaos, which lead her to take a long break from the game (she returns to the mission "when the time is right"). She also stops halfway at Farts of Future Past where she had to choose whether she'll eat the Seven Layered Quesarrito Chipotle Beefy Nacho Supreme or not. If she decides not to, she can either play the DLC missions (only if her "hope" feelings are at its peak) or abort the final mission entirely. In addition, she loads her save file back to Coonstagram rather than resetting it due to a glitch in the Nintendo Switch version where the player is soft locked at the part where the New Kid had to take a selfie with one of the seniors outside of Eric Cartman's house. 
*** Sometimes, she verbally talks to Butters (Professor Chaos), but makes sure nobody hears her talk too loud.
*** This is also one of the games, despite the story being fully voiced, where Rookie doesn't want the moment to be interrupted by reality.
*** Ironically, Rookie's name is briefly mentioned by The Coon and Human Kite.
*** If at any case an interruption occurs during a cutscene, Rookie will go back to her previous save file that she previously saved rather than her autosave file.
**** She rarely "pauses" a skippable cutscene using the "-" button. 
* Rookie's lucky number is 7. Every time she encounters the number 7 (via time, day, or otherwise 17th/27th as an alternative), she will do something different.
* Although her headcanon voice was portrayed by Sarah Stiles (known for voicing Spinel from Steven Universe and Mimsy in Hazbin Hotel), she was also the first character to provide 2 AI voices for two of her alter egos, both of which which were provided with a Japanese accent.
** In her normal form, her voice is provided by Japanese Female Anime Voice/女性アニメ声 1 [model by StarThePhoenix on FakeYou] with a bubbly tone.
** In her other form (Susan/Nightingale), he voice is provided by Japanese Female Voice! [model by mary4kaa on FakeYou] with a moody tone.
*** Susan's Wolffian language was dubbed first by Eleanor Forte [Synth V] and later converted to Japanese Female Voice! [model by mary4kaa on FakeYou].
* Gem Bubblebeam's voice was provided in her real life normal voice.
** Her voice was programmed with an AI voice model for her singing voice. 
*Rookie used to go camping when she was little, but she detested it due to the absence of wi-fi. 
*Her least favorite children's song to date is On Top of Spaghetti. 
**She likes the song as a child, but as she grew older she disliked it due to Random Toon singing the song. 
***The last time she heard this song was when she was watching one of Random Toon's videos of Let's Play Toontown Rewritten which was The Life of a Flunky (timestamp: 4:30-5:11), which made her cringe in the process.
*Psychology and math were the two subjects that she previously struggled with in her academic journey.
