Bee

## Appearance

Bee was first seen as a humanoid being with two toned hair held up in a pair of buns. They wore a brown and white striped long sleeve and dark overalls. Their shoes were peach coloured runners reminiscent of converse.

Post release from the pumpkin they are made entirely of shadow and so it's difficult to make out significant features. The only thing that is known for sure is that their eyes are white and they are slightly transparent.

Bee's HalloweenSMP ID has their name written down as "Five" using generic Galactic language.

## Abilities/Origin

As a shadow Bee has no need for food of any kind and can fly.

They burn when exposed to sunlight but can counter that with their ability to turn completely invisible.

She takes additional damage from light-related sources such as fire.

Since Bee is a shade with no truly physical form, they cannot use a shield or wear armor.

Bee is also immune to fall damage.

## Lore

### Purpose

###### - From Paprikup's stream *I will Live Forever [HALLOWEEN SMP]*

After exploring around town and finding the new Mexican food truck, La Pasadita, Pap is teleported to a darkened room where Bee awaits them. They immediately threaten Bee with a gun, however forget the name and Bee has to remind them. Pap states she forgot it was called a gun because they used to look so different and now look really weird. After calming down slightly, Bee shows Pap that this is a new Enderman and wither skeleton farm they can use. Target has been listening in to the conversation and begs Bee to let blue show Pap the Library which intrigues Pap immensely, however Bee denies the request, instead giving Pap an extended magazine for her gun.

Bee then asks Pap about something they heard: about how older beings love gold, wanting to know whether or not its true. Pap agrees, telling her about how they used to have a pile of gold but now have none since they used all of it in varying ways. Bee gives Pap some old blocks since they're "old". Pap vehemently rejects this term, preferring to say "endlessly youthful". Target uses this as a reason to invite Pap to the library again, however Bee once again refuses. She says that there's no reason to invite them yet, just that she doesn't owe Pap anything with a sarcastic tone. Pap mumbles about how they feel they universe owes them something, which Bee takes to mean that Pap thinks they are the universe. Pap then asks what Bee actually is. Bee states how rude they think the question is while Target chimes in claiming they is the remains of blue's pumpkin dog. Bee says she's suspicious of the response Pap wants and why they want it, considering how in the past they had been asked the same but it was not about Bee's origins. Pap however is just wondering what Bee's "dimensional purpose" is. There's silence for a while as Bee contemplates her answer. As she does so, Pap tells Target about how they used to do the same thing in her "early days" when they didn't really know their identity. Target asks how long ago that was but Pap states they don't remember. Target asks whether Pap is magic, but they just respond that magic has changed over time so it depends on your definition of magic. Target then clarifies, asking if Pap is old and magic, but Pap just gets mildly offended until Target corrects booselves, asking if she's "eternally youthful and magic". Pap doesn't respond however Bee seems to come out of her contemplation at that moment, asking for a reminder of their conversation.

Pap then again asks what Bee is "politely", but Bee answers vaguely. She says that after some "soul" searching, and thanks to Pap, she's realised that she is more than what others may perceive her to be. Bee explains how she's just an extension of their full self, and that her body is limited in what it can do and remember. Target slightly dejectedly asks if that means she's not a pumpkin dog, and Bee just says she doesn't think she is. Pap likens Bee's realisation to something similar to the human idea of reincarnation, and proceeds to explain reincarnation to Bee and Target, especially how memories don't seem to transfer over. They believe that Bee's form and state is something similar, but also much bigger, than human reincarnation. Target chimes in about boo's own death, talking about how it was disgusting and how blue wouldn't want to experience it again after Pap asks about maple's death. It seems to disgust Pap immensely, the idea of dying, and they claim they never want to experience it. With all the talk of death, Bee mentions how she's figured out her purpose; that she is a knight, of sorts. She has a purpose and she knows exactly what she is here to do and will leave when her purpose is complete, however she doesn't wish to tell anyone what exactly that purpose is just yet. Pap mentions how they'll probably see each other again, since they are usually there at the end of all things. Target speaks up, asking if either of them want to know what boo is. Blue exclaims very cheerfully that blue can take off boo's head, and Pap says how it reminds them of a dullahan they used to know. Target gasps as boo realises that's what he is, getting Pap intrigued, then asking if boo has a scythe. Target confirms that blue does indeed have a scythe leading Pap to exclaim what a small void it is they're all in.

This claim leads Target and Bee both confused, since neither of them view the universe as a void. Pap explains how they're in the void, it's just that occasionally worlds and universes get created and clog up the void until they all eventually end and disappear, leaving nothing but void in the end. Bee explains how she must not really here to clean "things" up, but rather she's there to *be there*. How really, with Pap's analogy of the universe and void in mind, everyone else are just entities encroaching on her space rather than her being in someone else's space. After this realisation, Bee claims that she'll just "have to speed things up" in terms of her purpose and why she's there. Pap seems to understand Bee more than Target does, claiming they felt something similar in other less desirable dimensions, but claims that this one isn't that bad. Bee leaves suddenly, and when Pap tries to follow, they get stuck in a time loop. They talk more about Pap possibly getting permission or "papmission" to go and visit the library, but eventually Bee finds the conversation tedious and gets annoyed at Pap's disregard for her spaces. She claims it isn't fair that Pap always comes in her spaces, but pap just says they had permission to be in this spawner room. Bee then clarifies, that she was talking about a different world. Pap seems confused by this, asking whether or not they had actually met in a different world as they seem to have forgotten.

## Trivia

* Bee's original humanoid skin is not canonical and rather her personal Minecraft skin. They had been working on a custom Pumpkin Dog player model but decided to switch origins early, eliminating the need to do so. Their shade skin is just a recolor of their personal skin.
* Bee is colorblind irl (DEROGATORY.)
