**Lilac** was a contestant in the first season of Video Game All-Stars as a member of Team Squidbeak Splatoon.

## Personality

Lilac is really nice to those she considers a friend. Confident and somewhat cocky at times, she'll fight to protect her friends until she can't fight no more. She's not the smartest, but has a big heart. She also really hates water.

## Season 1 - Video Game All-Stars Island

Lilac uses the boat ride to the island to make new friends above all else in S1E1 - VGAS Kart Arcade GP, befriending Rise and Spyro quickly. For the race, she decides swimming through ink with her squid powers would be faster than driving a kart. This proves to be effective as she maintains high placements through the full race, even managing to take down Dr. Eggman with a green shell. She gets into a duel with King K. Rool as the two get close to the finish, but she throws a blue shell at him before crossing the line first, becoming a team captain. She chooses Spyro, Hiroko, Falco, Rise and Gundham for her team, suggesting the name Team Squidbeak Splatoon, as it has significance to her. For the second part of the challenge, she gathers weapons for the team to use against the ghosts, using her trusty dualies to score many points for the team, helping them win. After the challenge, she goes to the team room, ending up in a conversation with Gundham, Hiroko and Rise, where Rise proposes the four of them make an alliance. Lilac reluctantly accepts, but feels bad when Falco argues with Rise, overhearing all of her plans. Lilac later follows Falco and Spyro outside, admitting she doesn't really want to vote for either, offering to work with them instead.

In S1E2 - The Legend of VGAS, Lilac continues to think what would be best for the team, placing a locator on Spyro as he's a good climber so she can jump up to him later. Thanks to this plan, she makes it to the second part of the challenge, shooting at enemies that attack them. She picks up a bow to fight Ganondorf, landing a few decent hits, however she is injured in the process. She congratulates Hiroko when she lands the finishing blow, going back to the team room afterwards to recover. Spyro follows, finding her asleep, so he leaves some food by her for when she wakes up. When she does, she thanks him, talking with Falco and Hiroko for a while after.

In S1E3 - Catch Em' Fast!, Lilac recovers from the injuries sustained in the previous challenge, ready to help her team again. She starts by suggesting they slow Sonic by shooting ink at him, which he dodges. She keeps trying, eventually seeing some results, but before she can get in, members of Team Eggman start attacking Sonic as well. Lilac tells them to stop hurting him, but her words fall on deaf ears, as Sonic transforms into Super Sonic, becoming even harder to catch. She tries to convince him with promise of chili dogs, but this creates an opening for Eggman to take Sonic, winning the challenge. Lilac is troubled by the loss, only having the option of voting for Falco, Rise or Spyro, feeling she cannot choose between them. After thinking a while longer, a different option opens up to her - voting herself. This is the only vote she gets, but she is still saddened over Rise leaving. Spyro tries to cheer her up again, but doesn't get very far.

In S1E4 - Getting The Cash!, Lilac is still getting over Rise's elimination, deciding a good approach would be to actually make chili dogs for them as a team bonding moment, which goes over well. She takes a nap to be well rested for the challenge, but ends up oversleeping slightly, arriving to the challenge late. Spyro tells her the challenge, although he accidentally blows their cover by doing so. The pair escape the bank before trouble arises, waiting for Falco and Hiroko to get money for them to help win. While they wait, Lilac is able to get a small amount of money in her own effort to help. The team gets together and drives away to find Banjo. Their combined money is more than the other team, so they win again.

In S1E5 - Blockheads, she is unaffected by the team swap, though she is sad to see Falco moved onto Team Eggman. Upon entering the challenge site, her blocky form reveals her Agent 4 outfit, though nobody else knows the significance of the outfit swap. She helps the team in building structures, however when building a dirt tower, she falls off. Though she insists she is okay, their team loses the challenge. Discussing with Hiroko and Spyro about the vote, their options are limited to Marisa and Mugman. As they discuss this, Mugman enters the room, convincing them to vote for Marisa.

In S1E6 - Short, Sweet, and Ink..., she feels down over the loss, so Spyro makes an attempt to make her feel better by saying he'll have her back, no matter what. She feels better from the conversation, with her confident feeling boosted by the Splatoon themed challenge. She teams up with Spyro, the two of them managing to take out the entirety of the other team together and scoring an easy win. She winks to the Squid Sisters, who were commenting, leading to Spyro confronting her about what is going on. She reveals to him her secret agent status, asking him to keep it a secret.

In S1E7 - SPACEEEEE!, she finds that she is missing out on an important Splatfest back home, but Spyro once again steps in, saying that even though they're enjoying that without her, she can still enjoy the competition. She agrees, then helps him in return when he starts stressing about the game. In the challenge, Lilac helps where she can in building the ship, despite not really knowing how it all works. Eventually they get it, and she finds a Metroid quickly, bringing it to Banjo and winning the challenge. She is glad to see Falco survive the elimination, accepting his offer to keep working together with Hiroko and Spyro as the teams break up.

In S1E8 - Star Return, Lilac spends a moment with Hiroko to mess around with low gravity in space. She is appalled to see King K. Rool enter, hoping for Rise to return. She agrees with Mugman when he says the vote would be easy. In the challenge, she struggles to control an Arwing, but has one clear goal - eliminating K. Rool. She targets him until he's gone, then turns her focus to Eggman. On her way to shoot him, she notices Mugman struggle, successfully firing at him instead. She's happy to be one of the top three in the challenge, but she is hit by Spyro, who was just shooting in hopes he could get a win. She doesn't mind losing too much, as she doesn't need the immunity. Upon returning to the island, she gets involved in the argument K. Rool and Spyro have, still upset he took a return from Rise. She's happy to see K. Rool leave, spending the rest of the evening with the other contestants.

In S1E9 - The Apocalypse, she is concerned by the dangerous nature of the challenge, but still gives her all, finding a bunker quickly and hiding out, only allowing Spyro in for shelter. Both are frightened by explosions and earthquakes, but when zombies attack their bunker, Spyro protects her, which she is grateful for. Banjo gets bored of waiting and warps the contestants to an arena to fight. Spyro buys Lilac some time, allowing her to take down both Eggman and Mugman, winning the challenge. Mugman convinces her to vote for Eggman as the bigger threat. Agreeing to this, she votes him out.

In S1E10 - Whodunnit?, she trains for upcoming challenges by sparring with Hiroko, having Falco stand as a judge. She is victorious, feeling more confident afterwards. She is a little unsure about solving the 'murders' despite them being fake, but tries jumping to conclusions, which Hiroko prevents, thinking they should be more careful with their choice. In the end, she figures out one of the murder weapons, which is conclusive evidence, so she wins immunity again. She and the rest of the alliance vote Mugman, leaving only the alliance members left in the game.

In S1E11 - VGAS Party, Lilac meets up with Spyro to hang out before the challenge, knowing their group would have to split afterwards. She gets the idea to invite Falco and Hiroko to join them for a game of Just Dance, which they then play for a while. She lets them keep the phones after, saying they could use them to keep in touch after the show ends. She handles the minigames quite well, placing first overall and guaranteeing her a place in the final three. Noticing Spyro struggling, she tries to give him encouragement, but he is too stressed to be helped much. After he loses the tiebreaker against Hiroko, she runs over, giving him a tearful goodbye. She uses the phone after the challenge, missing him already, ending up reconnecting with Rise as well. Hearing from her friends strengthens her resolve, and she ends up ready to really try to win it all.

In S1E12 - Shortie Country, she goes to the forest determined to win, when hearing it is an automatic elimination race with last to arrive back at camp being eliminated, she gets ready to run, taking off immediately. She eventually meets up with Falco as they run, agreeing to work together. The pair use their combined strengths to break through traps and even fighting off a giant version of Donkey Kong himself, making it out of the forest, confirming them making it to the finale. Banjo wasn't expecting them to finish so quickly, so he brings back the eliminated players to fill out an episode, saying he was going to do it for the finale anyway. Lilac is particularly happy to see Rise in person after so long, talking about the show as a whole.

In S1E13 - A Smashing Finale!, she prepares for the final challenge, then when asked to choose two helpers, chooses Hiroko and Rise with no hesitation. She uses the buffs given from Rise's Persona to take down several opponents, getting quite a few out of the way with a final smash. When Master Hand and Crazy Hand are summoned, her team focuses on Master Hand, eventually taking him down, allowing her to run for the finish line. Falco tries to catch up, but Lilac barely crosses the line first, winning the first season of Video Game All-Stars. Overwhelmed by emotion after the win, she cries tears of joy, celebrating with all of her friends and even giving Falco some of the prize money, stating that she doesn't need it all.
