==Description==
Ursula is a civilian returning to Los Santos after spending five years as a Wartime Clownspondent in the Mime Wars.

When people ask how she is, she usually responds in a deadpan voice that today is the best day of her life.
After spending a month in Tahiti, she has started showing slightly more emotion.
==Major Plotlines==
===The Mime Wars===
Ursula received her draft letter at the end of 3.0 as a masked member of the Clowncil.
The charter plane left Los Santos, only Ursula and Lily Night-Sky on board. She tried to enjoy the flight but soon remembered what she was flying into. Flashes of Sanguine went through her mind. The sound of shells hitting the ground and the drone noise never ending. The screams of people who were injured. The smell of blood and gunfire. She closed her eyes and tried not to let anyone else see her fears across her face. 
Arriving at the barracks, she was separated from the other clowns and placed into the clown media accommodations, saying she was specifically drafted because of her Sanguine Isle footage and work on Ramee El-Rahman's mayoral campaign. She was to be a Wartime Clownspondent, running propaganda and news coverage for all clowns to see and absorb. 
Her work was impeccable, drawing more clowns in as volunteers for the war. She was sent to different barracks, different regiments, sometimes seeing those from Los Santos, but most of the time, she was with foreign clowns she didn’t know.
When possible, when given leave, she visited Carcer City to see Kenneth Jesperson, or flew back to Los Santos to visit with Jack Ripley, Fauna, or Fey. Reminding herself that she was fighting for something, even if they didn’t understand.
Watching all that carnage and destruction had an impact on her, changing her fundamentally. Her alters folded into her, becoming integrated into Ursula. Her memories flooded back, and she remembered her full childhood, Hela, her nanny, her real high school years, and the institute. It was looking at a dream within a dream, and it broke her.
She leaned on the part of herself that used to be Pandora and went blank inside. She stopped taking leave to visit her loves, and for the last year of the war, she felt the deadness inside creep up. As she realized what was happening, she knew this was the darkness that Eris warned her about. The part that didn’t care about anything or anyone. The part that enjoyed watching the bloodshed.
The war ended. The mimes won. And Ursula felt nothing.
===First Scenes with Past Partners===
Ursula currently has no interest in dating, a stark contrast to how she was before the war. Since returning to Los Santos, Ursula has talked to and remains on friendly terms with her previous partners.
Ursula met up with Fauna a few days after arriving back in Los Santos. Listening in on a call, Ursula learned that Fey didn't remember her. She felt unbothered by this revelation. A few days later, they "met" when Ursula served her at Snr. Buns. Fey apologized for not remembering her and said she seemed really pretty.
Kenneth Jesperson, using a voice changer, invited Ursula to talk at the lighthouse. She initially threatened him with a knife, but put it away when she saw it was Ken under the mask. They agreed that it was good to see each other again.
Mid-January 2024, Jack Ripley enlisted the help of the Clowns to get his job back on the police force. This would turn out to be a ruse. Instead of yelling the code word for the clowns to come out of hiding, Ripley told off the chief of police and drove off. A while later, he returned to the group dressed as a clown. The clowns held a meeting to determine whether or not to allow him to join the NCO. Ursula was on his side, citing many of his past actions against Chatterbox as very clown-like and pointing out that Chatterbox would have laughed had the pranks happened to Stumbles. As a loyalty test, the clowns told Ripley to kidnap Cletus Cornwood and force him to play Clown Risk. After Ripley fell off the bridge, Ursula visited him in the hospital.
===New Clown Order===
Upon her return to Los Santos, Ursula met some familiar clowns, including Chatterbox, who extended an early invitation to Mirth to join the burgeoning New Clown Order as a shadow clown.
Sixteen days later (Jan 5, 2024), Ursula would receive her official invitation to join the New Clown Order. Despite some clowns' ambivalence towards Ursula/Mirth, she was offered a position as "Master of Whisperers" due to her connections in the city. During this meeting, Ursula revealed she would be changing her clownsona from Mirth to Checkers. A few days later, Chatterbox called Ursula to confirm that all the clowns were willing to work with her. They met up and she signed The New Clown Order Code book as Checkers.
Ursula usually hangs out with the Clowns as herself instead of putting on her Checkers outfit/voice to minimize the chances of people figuring out her clownsona. She denies still being a Clown when anyone asks.
===First Mayoral Election===
Ursula's first major news story with Weazel News involved providing unbiased coverage of the first mayoral race and election. She filmed the first debate and submitted probing questions such as "Which candidate would you vote for if you couldn't vote for yourself?".
On December 30, 2023, Ursula released a video titled "Mayoral Candidate Complicit in Attempted Murder?" featuring Vivek Ramasquamy and his campaign manager Lilith Fulker. She then covered the resulting court case where the duo claimed the footage was of a consensual, throuple sex act gone wrong. They were convicted (violent felony), thereby disqualifying Ramasquamy from running for mayor. Ursula has also documented court cases between Ramasquamy and his then-opponent Pilbis Shonley. The first involving an alleged stabbing with a cheese knife, done by Ramasquamy. The second involving Shonley allegedly libeling Ramasquamy on Twatter.
When the polls opened on Jan 13, 2024, Ursula conducted exit polling on behalf of Weazel News. The results showed Maximilian Thoroughbred taking an early lead. A trend that continued a few days later when she posted the next set of results on Twatter. Michael Simone and Stelio Lambros were close behind.
On January 20, 2024, Ursula received an ominous phone call from Bobby Charles that someone was going to assassinate Max when the election results were announced. She was able to capture footage of an attack by a man in a red jumpsuit wielding a wrench. (Later identified as Timo Korhonen.) Between the assassin and police crossfire, many people were incapacitated. Victims included Maximilian Thoroughbred, Siobhan Fitzpatrick, and Alan Crane. Bobby approached Ursula immediately following the attack to take credit.
===DONG===
Vivek Ramasquamy and Lilith Fulker invited Ursula to join DONG (Day One News Group) on January 12, 2024. The group's color scheme is red.
Her documentary with the group "Storming City Hall: Acts of a Peaceful Protest" shows the actions of Ramasquamy's supporters on Jan 6th. She also filmed some random events such as Vivek and Lilith getting out of a jaywalking ticket and the "Ramasquamy Royale" (A Bachelorette-style show starring Carmella Corset.)
===DED-PAN===
March 2024, Ursula founded the group DED-PAN. (Her version of C-SPAN.) She films and publishes videos of the City Council meetings as well as other important happenings around the city.

== Major Occupations== 
On Ursula's first day back in the city, she was hired at Snr. Buns by Maxx McAllister. Ursula is known for her "excellent" customer service skills and deadpan delivery of, "Have a bunderful day." She quickly rose to the rank of Junior Manager. After some corporate restructuring, her role was renamed to Assistant Manager. Ursula and Sunny Brooks were the only managers who wear the yellow Snr. Buns shirt. After quitting and returning to Snr. Buns a couple times, Ursula chooses to wear the red shirt again. She still performs managerial duties when they arise such as breaking up fights and training new employees.
Ursula started out working for Weazel News either solo or with Travis Rashguard. She would frequently mention being a Pulitzer Prize winner, citing her previous journalistic pursuits.
Other times, Ursula drives for Guber in her mint green and lavender colored Glendale. She entertains her passengers with thrilling murder stories from the city.
