## Appearances

### Debut

Pibby and the Gatekeeper

Pibby-223 is an alternate universe depiction of Pibby by RowanSkye. She can also be called as Pibby Lovein.

## Differences from Canon

One of the major differences between Pibby-223 and other Pibbys is the lack of an eye wound on her left eye, replaced with a cybernetic left arm instead.

Another major difference between Pibby-223 and other Pibbys is the lack of any influence of the Darkness, having not been exposed until much later in her time.

She has also been possessed by a creature from the Void called Venelatoth, which has taken a liking to her and would inhabit the cybernetic left arm and taken shape of Pibby, only with white eyes and mouth and a violet-black body.

Her time in the abyss gave her a faster aging cycle, during which she has taken on the name *Pibby Lovein*.

## Appearance

Pibby-223 initially appears more closer to Pibby only wearing a white shirt, a pink jacket-like coat, and blue pants. This distinguishes Pibby-223 from other Pibbys, and allows her to stand out in a crowd of one, which she had done during her younger years.

Pibby Lovein, on the other hand, would be significantly taller than canon Pibby, and while her outfit hasn't changed, it had adjusted for her height differences. Her hand has also appeared more humanlike and her hair has been cut to a shoulder trim.

## Backstory

### Pre-223

The story of Pibby-223 starts when the Darkness pushed her out of her home world. However, instead of the credits, she would end up in space in-between, a hostile place that its inhabitants call the Void. The hostility comes from the fact that Pibby wasn't meant to be there and was only saved through intervention by a person that would then be known as a Gatekeeper.

However, the intervention was too late as she began showing signs of what the locals call "Voidthrown", a necrotic disease due to prolonged exposure to the Void without proper equipment, genetic or technological otherwise. To save her, the Gatekeeper had replaced the main location where it began, her whole left arm. The surgery would be done in less than a month, but she had to recover for a whole year. It was then noticed that this Pibby was 13 year old.

After she had fully recovered, she joined the group of the Gatekeepers in order to train and became Pibby-223 after the nickname the other co-workers of hers gave to her. She was, after all, the 223rd Pibby they knew.

### Discovery of Venelatoth

The training lasted a total of four years. While most of the training was simple and mundane, an accident during an obstacle training exercise left her stranded on a world, where her skills were tested too early. The accident would cause her to lose her left arm, right food, and right eye in the process. During that moment, the a Void creature that was suppressed by her left arm was released and soon took over the body, forming Pibby-223's missing organs in the process as it began to go back to where everyone else was, waiting.

This also scared her co-workers, leaving her with a nasty bullet wound in the process. Fortunately, this Void creature kept her alive long enough that Pibby was able to recover and her left arm was replaced with a better one, this time to allow the Void creature, which had taken to call itself Venelatoth. Pibby gave her a nickname of Voidy.

### Pibby-223, The Gatekeeper of Worlds

After the training was complete, Pibby-223 set out to explore the worlds she will inevitably protect from the Darkness. During this time that Pibby-223 meets and observes the multiverse hands-on. This is also where she met other Pibbys, including one whose Darkness had gotten into their body too deep and their girlfriend, a post-canon Pibby variant. She has also met other survivors along the way.

### The Sacrifice and Reincarnation

*For more details on her reincarnation, see Penny Schmidt.*

While within her travels, Pibby-223 receives an emergency call which forces her to leave her friends behind. Through this, she finds out that the Darkness that she had encountered during her stolen childhood has grown to a degree. Her fellow co-workers have also noticed that they have pinpointed the source of this Darkness and was about to send an unmanned shuttle to purify it based on overall research against the Darkness.

Pibby-223 was there when the shuttle failed to breach it and then she would receive an idea from Venelatoth. She had to say goodbye to her old friends first, by creating a physical avatar that Venelatoth can also live in while the time comes. After things have gotten out of hand, she said her goodbyes and killed this avatar, and then moved towards the second shuttle.

The last heard communications from Pibby-223 was a simple thank you as she climbed out of the shuttle and cut a path using her sword, with Venelatoth steering and comandeering the shuttle.

Due to the lack of causality and the fact that the multiverse is vast, Pibby-223 is soon reincarnated to a young, energetic redhaired woman named Penelope Ryder. In fact, Pibby-223 had already met her before her sacrifice, and was amused at the prospect of her life secured in another form.
