Bern Craft: Fredericka

NOTE: This isn't the Canon Fredericka page. This is just headcanon stuff mixed with real lore and VTuber Bern lore here. Why? This is Bern Craft.

**Fredericka** or known in some circles, Bern is one of the members of the Anti-RUC Resistance who helped drive the Radioactive Uber Clan away during the War. She used to be some traveling witch until she found her way into the group who would later be her friends.

## Appearance

Fredericka is a witch with blue, hime hair and is usually seen in Black or blue clothing. Her blue eyes are notable, too. She has some cat-like features, most notably a tail, referencing her time when she used to be a cat.

## Personality

Fredericka is an introvert at heart, only opening up to people once she gets to know them. Those she gets close to, she does value their friendship immensely, hence why she stays around Mike's group after the Peninsula War. She can be a bit snarky at times, usually applying it to either people who deserves such snark or as a joking response to people.

She has been known to intentionally be weird or bring up bizarre facts to provoke a reaction off people. In her words, she prefers to be a little eccentric than be forced into a fake persona. Friend or foe, she does like to mess with them with weird facts or sayings the chance she gets.

There are some things that'd bother Fredericka enough to make her snap. Pointing out her short height is enough to anger her. Trying to force her to eat and enjoy ketchup is another, especially considering she had people try to do that to her before. Oddly enough, the RUC or Indigo Syndicate haven't truly angered her and instead made her express disappointment that they exist or annoyance that they keep bothering her.

She holds a bit of a more cynical outlook at times, always expecting the worst or at least problems to last longer than they should be. Though she does get in a better mood when it is definite that things will turn around. She does turn that cynicism into trolling or messing around on others, mostly the ones annoying her, though.

## History

Once upon a time, there were two stray cats. Two sisters from the same litter that were separated from their family. While traveling together, an old woman found the two cats and took them home. She named one Fredericka and the other Lydia. The old woman introduced herself as Auguste Zephyr, a hermit witch who kept away from society for years. She would raise the two cats as her own. When Auguste realized she wouldn't last forever, she decided to give the two cats her own magic potency. As a side effect from all of this, Fredericka and Lydia gained human forms.

Auguste would eventually pass on, leaving the two sisters curious where to go. While Lydia would take up music and become a traveling musician, Fredericka decided to travel the world to try and find a land to stay in and figure out what to do with her life. She would take up odd jobs like being a librarian at various libraries while walking more. Eventually she would hear about a Justice Tower, giving her an idea to move there and settle down. This would be where she would eventually find Justice Tower and eventually the group that she'd later be close friends to.

Something something stuff during the war.(Keeping this vague despite this being non canon writing stuff since I ain't sure what to write personally).

After the Peninsula War and with the Indigo Syndicate apparently claiming through RUC: The World Heroes that Mike is dead due to him being busy with life and claiming Popeye sacrificed himself instead, they seemed to have put their energy onto her and Hatter. At this point Fredericka has become less annoyed over their antics over her and more "dead inside".

Rika would eventually help her friends settle down in Justice Tower by picking the exact rooms for them to be in while they organize their rooms their own way. She'd also get back to card games, making a deck for her favorite card game, *Blood & Sorcery*(Totally not ~~Yugioh~~). She'd also help A.B. with cooking by offering food suggestions as well as talk about growing hot peppers with him. She would also get into baking treats and mixing drinks during her time here. She'd also frequently chat with Reese about oddities going about the world and their writing.
