Ginger Claret

<tabber>Main=
 is one of the seven main characters of the series, though is only properly introduced in Purrfect Apawcalypse: Purrgatory Furever. She remains a main part of the cast in Purrfect Apawcalypse: Patches' Infurno, and makes a brief first appearance in Purrfect Apawcalypse: Love at Furst Bite. She's introduced as a dead bloodhound in the bathroom stall of Hachiko High School when the apocalypse occurs.
==Appearance==
Ginger appears as a brown dog with dark brown hair that's long and straight in texture, and often covers one eye. Her ears and tail are long and droopy and her eyes are a dull red. In PA1 she wears a white collared blouse, a pink neck bow with a yellow star, a long purple skirt and is missing half her head. As a ghost she appears very purple-tinted, half her face is covered by hair and she wears a white triangle headband. In PA2 she also appears as a ghost. In PA3 she appears as a ghost during Coco's recount of visiting the Elite Magic Club. After being healed by Bapawmet she returns to her usual coloration but her hair still covers half her face. At school she wears a braid over half her face, a blue short sleeved t-shirt with white stripes over a white long-sleeved t-shirt and purple shorts.
==Personality==
At the start of the series, Ginger is a quiet, shy and unconfident dog. She feels freakish due to her magical abilities and yearns to lean on others since she cannot rely on herself. This makes her the perfect target for Patches' manipulation, which she hopelessly falls for. She's encouraged to commit several atrocities and is paid in Patches' supposed love and affection. It's only after being offered companionship from Olive and their friends does Ginger finally stand up for herself against Patches. Afterwards she commits to being a good friend by helping Coco and the others with Hachiko High's communal school day. There, Patches' has a difficult time manipulating her once more. She's sentimental, patient and forgiving but is capable of standing up for herself if needed.
==Relationships==
*Patches Ito: Ginger is Patches' romantic partner and later on, just a friend. Ginger was charmed by Patches into using her magic to escape Infurno and terrorize Angel and his friends. She's unaware that Patches is using her, but is later convinced by Sparky and Olive to turn against him. She betrays him but still has some compassion for him afterwards.
*Sparky Fritz: Ginger is Sparky's possessor and later on friend. In Purrgatory Furever Ginger uses her powers to widdle down Sparky's psyche enough to take over his body. She uses his body to terrorize his friends and break Angel's arm and Brownie's leg. After being forced out of his body, he hunts her down for either revenge or closure. In spite of their rocky start, the two become close friends.
==In-Game Appearances==
===Purrfect Apawcalypse/Purrfect Apawcalypse: Love at Furst Bite===
Ginger appears in PA1 as a bifurcated corpse in a bathroom stall, but was unnamed at the time of this game's release. It's likely she was murdered by a cat demon before Brownie found a hiding space in the stall next door (hence, which she was killed but Brownie was not).
===Purrfect Apawcalypse: Purrgatory Furever===
Ginger and the spirits of all the other dead dogs (including Patches) were banished to Infurno. After meeting Patches' spirit, she's convinced to use her magic to bring the spirits back to the world of the living in the form of zombies. When Olive and their pals convince her that Patches is just taking advantage of her, she betrays Patches.
===Purrfect Apawcalypse: Patches' Infurno===
Ginger helps Coco host the "Hachiko High x Kemono Woods Communal School Day" (a day where cats and dogs attend school together in order to prove that they can get along). She is tasked with keeping the zombie dogs' bodies intact with her magic stitches, a task she struggles with greatly. When in the cafeteria her magic stitches loosen briefly after being shocked by the contents of the Claret Family Grimoire. It is in this book that Ginger learns of her relation to the Claret-Wichien Family, the likely origin of her magical capabilities. After lunch, rather than participate in gym class with Sparky as originally intended, she leaves for the gym to concentrate alone. It is here that Patches attempts to take advantage of her blood relations, as the fur of a Claret family member is necessary for his body-swapping spell.
==Trivia==
*Likes: Companionship, Patches (until she noticed his malicious intentions), cooking, peaceful music.
*Dislikes: Rejection, toilets, her magical abilities.
*Ginger comes from a lower class household.
