Paprika (Them's Fightin' Herds)

==Summary==
Paprika is a young member of the Alpake who, unlike the rest of her kind whose main priorities lies on surviving the harsh environment of the Huacaya Mountains, is overly affectionate and smothers anyone and everyone she meets with hugs and kisses. Although she mostly speaks gibberish and can only rarely get out any kind of coherent thought, her playful personality speaks volumes, making her both a steadfast ally and a surprisingly competent fighter who should not be underestimated.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Cartwheel: Paprika can roll towards her opponent, accidentally strike them with flowers, or slam into them in a trust fall, depending on the strength of the attack.
*Zippy Teleport: Paprika will quickly run out of sight, before appearing once again either in front of her opponent, behind them, or falling on top of them.
*Belly Flop: Paprika launches herself into the air and falls down onto her opponent in a belly flop.
*Kiss!: Paprika kisses her opponent, causing them to stagger for a brief moment.
*Gift, Toss: Paprika randomly pulls out a gift from her wool using her magic and throws it towards her opponent.
*Gift, High Toss: Essentially the same as "Gift, Toss," though Paprika throws her gift upwards rather than at her opponent.
**Edible Gift: Paprika uses more magic to ensure that the gift she throws is either an apple or a broccoli floret, which can heal or charge the super meter of whoever eats it, respectively.
**Flower Pot: Paprika uses more magic to ensure that the gift she throws is a flower pot, which deal damage to the opponent twice.
*Gift, Cinnamon Roll: Paprika pulls out a cinnamon roll, kisses it, and bowls it forward, causing it to roll slowly towards the opponent which can deal heavy damage if it makes contact with them.
*Smother: Paprika quickly dashes away from the battle, before unexpectedly approaching the opponent quickly. She will then attack the opponent from all sides before launching them into the air and finishing with a body slam.
*Picnic Basket: After beginning her Smother, Paprika can stop her assault and pull out her picnic basket while her opponent momentarily remains in a stunned state in the air.
*Free Gifts!: Paprika can pull out various gifts from her picnic basket without the need to consume her magic.
*Picnic Surprise!: Paprika can quickly run from the battle before suddenly bursting from her picnic basket, sending her opponent flying if they were standing near it. Though, this technique causes the basket to be destroyed immediately.
*Deadly Affection: Paprika will enter a mental state where she will have the single-minded goal to hug her opponent, preventing her from doing any other attacks aside from Embrace for a short time.
**Embrace: During her Deadly Affection state, Paprika will attempt to grab the opponent. If she succeeds, she will hug them without mercy, slowly squeezing and damaging them. If they are knocked out at this state, she will continue to happily caress them in her arms for the foreseeable future.
**Sneeze: During her Deadly Affection state, if she fails to lock her opponent into an Embrace in time, she will suddenly sneeze, causing her wool to burst off of her and deal damage to anyone nearby. She will then immediately fall out of her previous mental state and return to normal.
