Kauoria Buondakei

**Kauoria Buondakei** is a fictional character from the show "Broken Plates". She was most notorious for being the cause behind deadly clashes between the show's makers and fans.

## History

Kaworia was one of the main characters of the show "Broken Plates", being one of the leaders in Camp Solstice.

At the end of the original show, she left and said goodbye with only a smile to her co-counsellor. Her sudden disappearance, even all the way to the show no longer producing any merchandise of her, angered the fanbase, who sparked violent attacks against the show's writers to see her again.

### The Ghost of Kauoria

See also: Kauoria the Ghost

Some fans made a rumour, a legend, that claimed that she was actually a ghost who took the form of one of the show's characters, so she will never be forgotten. Others suggested that she was the soul of a bully who attacked the Sixth Founder, cursed to die a brutal death and to wander the earth in the form of her favourite character.

The only way for her to be free from the curse was to help several fans of the show forgive and reconcile. The revivals of Broken Plates were seen by some superstitious people and artists as attempts by the Kauoria spirit to create conditions that lead to such fans existing, allowing her a chance to break the curse.

She was sealed and released a number of times across millennia. Her most recent absences began at around the end of the Sarmelonid Era when the show was largely forgotten except in history books, with her own soul sealed in an old television set within a tomb. The show was remade in the Malendor Supercorporation when curious artists performed the Denlotia version, causing several hauntings to ensue by some friendly ghosts. Those artists brought with them an old book from Ardesch, and later they found out that it was a magical book.

Somewhere in the 800s BT, her soul was released after someone broke into the tomb. It was possible that the revivals of Broken Plates in Zvesta may had been inspired by her whispers.

Later legends claimed that she visited Umbirab, Porashon, Rukania, Yawanda, and Irajon after she was awakened in 800 BT. Realising that she was immortal and almost invincible as a spirit, she used her newfound powers to explore the world, seeking answers and fulfilling a very old dream she had when she was a child.

Among the countries she visited, she liked Zvesta. But with the Wannaenids oppressing the natives, her spirit migrated to Nevkreno.

In 1608 AT, the Kauoria ghost supposedly visited the Great Temple of Narivo, seeking forgiveness for her past actions. The few visitors who meditated in the temple heard echoes in "an old language" that some researchers identified as a form of Palguenian. The voices sounded like "How can I ever be free from my curse, O Gods? What must I do now?"

She dwelled in the ruins of Barandon Castle, pranking the Wannaenid soldiers and possessing the robotic patrols within. This spirit saw the clones frozen within and was sad.

With almost no one to be friends with her, she resided in a statue of Mithura for two more centuries. She was awakened again by two immortal beings: Sharada the virtuous Celestial and Enedris the hunter, who became her friends.

She may had learned to use magic, after realising that her soul had developed god-like powers. This ghost used them to help people rise up against the Arantarese and Wannaenid oppressors, aiding them with her magic. Sharada helped her realise that the Gods shown another way for her to redeem herself, hence the new abilities: to inspire people to do better, and avoid her mistakes. As usual, she left behind strange records of the show wherever she went, as if books and artwork suddenly appeared out of thin air.

With the Wannaenids out of Bujan, she was able to visit the island again, inspiring more people to put her favourite show to good use.

The ensuing wars that escalated from the Broken Plates furore were known as "Kaworia's curse".

he became known, for thousands of years from then, as "the face who burned a thousand studios".

### In modern Bujan

Because of her being hinted to be an ethnic Wonao, she became a popular character among Wonao members of the Bujanski resistance. She even became one of the symbols of the resistance, all the way to being one of the reasons why the show was not banned in modern Bujan in spite of its popularity with Terrans.

Her adoption as a local symbol represented defiance against everything the Terrans stood for, and a desire for the downtrodden to reclaim their own destiny, as they did with a character whose copyright was long gone. Kaworia, though a cynical person in the original works, became the opposite, as a symbol of hope.

An angel visited Bujan to investigate supernatural incidents in the country caused by the massacres that took place years ago. She encountered a certain ghost who was trapped in the form of Trinor, so she appeared as Kaworia to comfort the weeping spirit.

Kaworia was Sophie's favourite character. When she was sent to a blocktown as punishment for wrongfully blocking many people, she saw visions of Kaworia in a frightening outfit advising her about her internal issues.

Kaworia is also Amaril's favourite character, as she loves to pretend and wear her costumes.

## Personality

The original Kaworia was bad-tempered and cynical.

## Trivia

* The idea for the character was based on a mixture of Gwen from Camp Camp and Monika from Doki Doki Literature Club.
	+ Ultimately, she was inspired by fans being worried that Gwen will never be seen again after the special "With Friends Like These", when she decided to resign from working at Camp Campbell as a counsellor. The author played around with the idea of her "disappearance" by making her want to be remembered, or to escape the show into the real world.
	+ One nickname for her, known as "the face who burned a thousand studios", was based on "the face that launched a thousand ships", a name for Helen of Troy for being the cause of the Trojan War.
* Kauoria was hinted to be an ethnic Wonao. Aside from possibly immigration, the original show did not elaborate how her family ended up all the way to Palguenia.
	+ Her name sounded like the modern Eosome word for "time", "kawari". So in a sense, it fitted her alleged presence and appearances in history, possibly to be remembered.
	+ This was the cause behind her popularity among modern Wonaos, seeing someone who was very relatable to themselves.
