## Description

*"**The Ace-Aro File CRiTORA**. Most CRiTORA have folders of their own, but Script, in their case, IS the folder. This non-verbal CRiTORA instead communicates with dialog boxes, documents, slides, tables, and anything intended for both casual and professional uses. They're known for helping timid CRiTORA with expressing their thoughts! Oh, and do not attempt to tamper with the cartridge."*

## Character

### Physical appearance

Script takes the aspect of a turquoise and dark blue folder with a single squared eye with a dark blue iris. Inside them are white papers, and their arms are composed of white, yellow, and orange floating squares. Their left arm ends with a dark blue hand, and their right arm ends with a dark blue cartridge with a turquoise segmented square on it.

### Personality

Script does not talk. Instead, they utilize dialog boxes and sticky notes to express themself. They, however, are friendly and always willing to help their kin, particularly timid CRiTORA, with expressing their thoughts.

If they require them, Script can create documents, slides, and tables that can further help them explain their intentions. Even when they know they are the one behind the file and are thanked for helping, Script prefers not to be present in most events.

As sociable as they are, some CRiTORA do not comprehend Script's way of expression, which can frustrate them and even cause them to repeat the same things repeatedly, flooding the screens with sticky notes they, might clean up by themself, but can still create slight trouble with the city's performance.

### Powers and abilities

* **Document creation:** Script can create documents of several kinds with ease.
* **Word Box:** A dialog box expressing Script's thoughts. It can be used as an onomatopoeia towards others.
* **Power Bomb:** Scarlet bombs with 'P's on them that fragment themselves before exploding. They have a small radius.
* **Excel-lence:** A table that can be used to boost the abilities or morale of other CRiTORA.
* **Overlooked:** Mail envelopes that latch on the floor and work as short-range mines.
* **SoManyNotes:** Rambles of sticky notes that swarm the target and can cause minimal lag.

## Development

Script was created in Early 2021. Their original last name was **Port-Doc-File.**

### Design

When first drawn, Script had a much simpler design, no mouth, and their cartridge changed color depending on the software they used to express themself. In their initial artwork by LastyGhost, they held a sheet that read "YES", whereas, when drawn by Birdie, it read "HELLO".

During 2021, due to the reworking of the designs for Season 1 -known as Season 2 at the time, Script was slightly changed, with the cartridge holding Microsoft Office's emblem, though its purpose was the same.

In Late 2022, Daydreaming Birdie repurposed Script's design as LastyGhost updated her CRiTORA designs at the time to match her updated art style. This proposal included inspiration from MacOS to contrast and complement with the character's Windows inspiration.

### Name

Their original last name was derived from the abbreviation of PDF, *Portable Documents Format*. Their current last name comes from *Mac* and *Microsoft*.
