Alene Keshishian (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Alene appears in Super Smash Stadium. For information about her in general, see her article on the Hanna-Barbera Fanon Wiki.
Alene Keshishian is a playable character on Super Smash Stadium; she also serves as one of the show's hosts. She debuted alongside the rest of the Life in FCHS revival's cast in April 2016. Her "home stage" is FCHS, making her somewhat unique in that she didn't debut with a new stage, but was instead added to a pre-existing one.
==In her own universe==
In 2016, with Back to Coolsville experiencing sagging ratings, St. Clair Publications decided to revive its previous flagship TV show, Life in FCHS, after it had been off the air for four years. Alene is the star of the revival. Her backstory is that she was born and initially raised in Franklin County, Virginia, but after some unexplained incident that allegedly involved threats to her mother's life, the Keshishians fled to Glendale, California. When Season 11 begins, the Keshishians have just now returned to Franklin County after eight years away.
She auditions for FCHS's cheerleading squad, and is selected quickly due to her "exceptional talent"...talent that she soon discovers doesn't necessarily involve her actual cheerleading skills. She is immediately thrust into a resistance movement with June Petronelli, Myndi Johnson, and Mandi Johnson, against Jenna Ellington, who wants to impose "social justice warrior" agendas onto the school, and each episode, the four girls fight against some threat to the high school.
==Attributes==
On her own, Alene is weak. As a cheerleader, she was built for evasion, which she often shows in her own series by way of high flexibility and evasion. However, she has a "gimmick" that involves her olive skin tone: the more tanned she is, the stronger she gets. A "tan meter" appears near her character icon on the bottom of the screen, and her attacks get stronger as it fills. Her attacks also gain fire properties once the meter is half full.
When she is fully tanned, she's at maximum power, and some of her attacks (see below) actually change to reflect this. However, when she uses her Final Smash or dies, she goes back to being pale. Naturally, this means Alene is near useless on stages that take place indoors. However, oddly enough, she can tan on stages with lava in them, such as Brinstar Depths or Bowser's Castle.
Also, when fully tanned, she gains a visible heat aura that burns anyone who touches her. This makes close quarters combat impossible, so anyone going against her will now have to use projectiles.
Therefore, a good Alene player's strategy will often revolve around stalling until she is sufficiently tanned, while the strategy of someone fighting her will involve beating her up as much as possible while she's weak and not giving her a chance to get charged up or get a hit in. Alene players stuck with a bad stage have to essentially play dirty and hope for a good item.
===Changes===
None yet.
===Moveset===
Entrance: As with all other Life in FCHS characters, Alene falls from the top of the screen, lands on all fours, and looks up.
Move Name	Description
Neutral Special:
Pom Pom Throw	Alene flings pom poms, which act like boomerangs. Hits up to four times and inflicts little damage and knockback each hit. If her Tan Meter is over half full, they become flaming pom poms that do increased damage and can burn opponents.
Kirby Variant: Kirby's version of this move is always at minimum power.
Cannot kill normally.
Kills at 175% on fire.
Side Special:
Focus Bend	Essentially a glorified spot dodge. Alene intercepts whatever was going to hit her and inflicts it back at the opponent. If she's tanned enough, she'll pay it back double and inflict fire damage.
Kills are dependent on what was intercepted.
Up Special:
Choice Bend	Alene does the signature jump kick of all of the cheerleaders on Life in FCHS, hitting anyone who gets in the way.
Kills at 150% normally.
Kills at 110% on fire.
Down Special:
Binding Bend	A counter. Alene intercepts the opponent's move and pays it back, double and on fire if she's tanned enough.
Can kill at 35% on fire.
Final Smash:
Die in a Fire!	Lights on fire, screams "Actually, fuck YOU!!!", and radiates flaming silhouettes of herself all over the arena. If fully tanned, she fires off a second set of flames.
Ashley Variant: Ashley only fires off one set of flames despite being "fully tanned" by default. Her quote is "You're fired, asshole!"
===Taunts===
*Up Taunt: Does a flip.
*Side Taunt: Flips the bird or makes a beckoning motion, and says "That all you got?"
*Down Taunt: Sticks out an arm, pom pom in hand, raises her other arm, and says "Cheerleaders never lose."
===Victory===
*Pose: Does several flips and breakdances while saying "No SJW can check MY privilege!"
*Theme: Team St. Clair Publications' victory theme.
*"No Contest"/Loss Theme: Team St. Clair Publications' loss theme.
===Other===
Ashley's transformation into Alene has some unusual properties. Since Ashley is always "fully tanned" by default (and doesn't change her skin tone for transformations), her moves are always at max power. However, she does not get the heat aura, and as mentioned above, always fires off one set of flames when using Die in a Fire. These changes were likely made to stop Ashley from becoming OP as Alene.
==Costumes==
*Default: Gray dress.
*Beautiful Armenia!: The red, blue, and yellow dress pictured above, which has become something of a running gag due to how out of place it often is when it appears.
*Cheerleader: The FCHS cheer uniform.
*Biker: A leather jacket, white tank top, high-waist denim jeans, and a pixie cut.
*Dress Up: An alleged "traditional Armenian dress".
*1960's Chic: A white sweater, denim skirt, and brown boots.
*Alene Gomez: Alene with an unusually wide face, so named because, allegedly, a fan once said she looked like Selena Gomez as-is. Selena Gomez's "trademark", at least in Alex's opinion, is her round face.
*Kim Alene-dashian: Alene with a huge ass, referencing a certain other Armenian.
