## **Assist Trophy Info**

Zoltan is a companion to Geralt of Rivia. Hailing from Mahakam, he is a dwarven warrior who is extremely skilled in battle. He survived the Second Nilfgaard War with his ragtag company before merging with the Mahakam Volunteer Army. He is also close with Dandelion, and is known to guard his tavern in *The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt*.

## **Mode of Assistance**

Zoltan throws his fist up in the air, making a harrowing battle cry as his companions join him on the stage. Accompanied by Munro Bruys, Caleb Stratton, Yazon Varda, and Figgis Merluzzo, the dwarves get to work. They chase nearby opponents down as a mob, slashing and slamming their respective weapons down on them when they get too close. Once caught in the center of their assailment, it'll be hard for fighters to slip out as the dwarves will grab them and toss them right back into it. Between the five of them, they wield a battle hammer, an axe, two swords, and a knife. Zoltan will dish out the hardest hits with his hammer, but none of them are to shake a stick at. The damage can rack up fast once Zoltan's company gets their mitts on you! All five can be KO'd with enough willpower, but it's a formidable cloud to work through.

Zombie Shroom

 Submitted By:

## **Enemy Info**

Zombie Shrooms are papery enemies which look like, well, zombie versions of Super Mushrooms. Unlike Super Mushrooms or Poison Mushrooms, Zombie Mushrooms do not affect Mario’s size. Instead making contact with them will cause Paper Mario to take some amount of damage! They can be found inside of ? Blocks where at first they may appear to be a normal Super Mushroom before they turn around and reveal their zombie self. Thankfully, Zombie Shrooms can be defeated in a single jump as they only have 1 HP.

## **Fight Pattern**

Zombie Shrooms will rarely spawn out on the field and when they do they’ll sit in place until a fighter is in range. At that point Zombie Shrooms will glide across the ground in pursuit of their target as their mouths chomp up and down. Zombie Shrooms can lightly jump in the air if their target tries to get away from them, but their jumping capabilities are limited. Zombie Shrooms have a minimal amount of health and like Goomba can be defeated by merely jumping on top of them. Zombie Shrooms don’t have an exact “attack”, but they will do damage upon making contact with a fighter. There is a small chance that in addition to inflicting a light amount of damage that the Zombie Shroom may also poison the fighter.

Zombie Shrooms can also spawn out of item containers such as ? Blocks which can be found on the field or items such as Barrels, Capsules, and Party Balls. Either way they spawn, Zombie Shrooms will have the same behavior.
Dorothy

**Dorothy** is a minor character in ***I Was Born For This***. She is Juliet Schwartz's grandmother.

## Trivia

* It is implied that Dorothy went through a similar situation as Angel Rahimi and Juliet Schwartz did in the book. She was involved in "Beatlemania," the obsession with The Beatles, similar to Angel and Juliet's obsession with The Ark.

 Pokemon Attack
 Submitted By:

## **Pokemon Info**

Venusaur is the fully evolved form of Kanto’s grass-type starter Pokemon, Bulbasaur. Venusaurs are large frog-like Pokemon who carry a giant flower on their back which is used to catch solar energy from the sun as well as release soothing scents to attract nearby Pokemon and calm emotions. Venusaurs are capable of going through Mega Evolution when exposed to Venusaurite and there are some Venusaur in the Galar region which are able to Gigantamax into a gigantic form.

## **Attack Description**

When Venusaur appears on the stage, a flash of pink energy will surround it looking strangely like a Pokeball that flies up and over the stage. Seconds later, Venusaur will take over the background of the stage as it grows into its Gigantamax form. At this point eight vine whips will rise up from Gigantamax Venusaur’s flower as it prepares to strike the stage. One by one each vine whip will extend from the background and slam downwards onto the stage from above. These vine whips are capable of breaking barriers and deal heavy damage to anything in their path. Each vine whip will seek to strike a different point on the stage and after each one finishes its strike it will slink away and disappear. These vine whips are rather damaging so players are advised to try and avoid getting struck.

## Physical Description

White

“*I'm not, like, homophobic. I'm an ally.*”
―Imogen, to Tara Jones and Darcy Olsson
**Imogen Heaney**, portrayed by Rhea Norwood, is a main character in the Netflix adaption of ***Heartstopper***. She is one of Nick Nelson's best friends, and formerly had a crush on him. She is also classmates with Tara Jones, Darcy Olsson, and Elle Argent.

## Appearance

Imogen is a Caucasian girl of short stature, standing at around 5'2". She has brown curled hair dyed blonde at the front near the roots, with blue eyes and a button nose. Though she mostly wears her hair down, she'll sometimes style it in pigtails or braids.

## Personality

Imogen is sweet, bubbly, and extroverted. She is one of Nick Nelson's closest female friends, and is the only girl in his friend group. Imogen is somewhat a hopeless romantic, pining for Nick's affection despite being visibly uncomfortable. When asking Tara and Darcy if Tara and Nick were romantically involved, Tara clarified she was a lesbian, causing Imogen to awkwardly proclaim that she wasn't homophobic and "an ally", causing Darcy and Tara to snicker. When Nick ditches his date with Imogen for Charlie's birthday party, he texts her and says to meet him at the park so he can explain his reasoning. There, Imogen is shown to be incredibly understanding, relating to Nick feeling the need to pretend to be someone they're not in exchange of Harry's approval. Later on, she sees Nick approach Charlie romantically and smiles happily, showing she holds no hard feelings towards Nick and is happy for him.

## Trivia

* Her MBTI type is ENFP/The Campaigner.
* Imogen, alongside Isaac, is one of the two characters from the Netflix adaption that doesn't have a comic counterpart. The closest counterpart would be Sahar Zahid, a classmate of the girls that joins the group in Volume Three of *Heartstopper*.
* Her Instagram handle, as shown in the television series, is @imogen.h001.
Lucas Ryan

**Lucas Ryan** is Tori Spring's old friend in ***Solitaire*** and the person who was originally behind Solitaire, but he later backed out when it became more than just a joke.

## Personality

Lucas is quiet and awkward, which annoys Tori greatly. He is shown to have very little social skills and an enormous distaste towards school.

## Trivia

* Lucas used to have a sister called Darcy. This isn't the same Darcy as in ***Heartstopper***, however.
Darcy Olsson

* Graphic Novel
* Television Series

“*Oh. You're being gay. Good job, carry on.*”
―Darcy, to Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring
**Darcy Olsson**, portrayed by Kizzy Edgell, is a recurring character in ***Heartstopper***. She is best friends with Elle Argent, Aled Last, Isaac Henderson, Nick Nelson, Charlie Spring, Tao Xu, and Sahar Zahid, and is the girlfriend of Tara Jones.

## Appearance

Darcy is short in stature, standing at 5'3", and has dyed bleach blonde hair cut below her chin that she sometimes ties up in a bun. She has tan skin, thick eyebrows, and a button nose. Darcy is usually seen wearing patterned Hawaiian button-up shirts, such as ghosts or flowers.

## Personality

Darcy is extremely chaotic and extroverted, loving to make the people around her laugh, especially Tara. Prior to her and Tara's relationship, she was already out and confident with herself, but was patient with Tara's apprehensiveness. She is shown to be excited by just about everything, ecstatic to find another queer couple at their school when Nick reveals he's dating Charlie. Being a teenager, she can be somewhat reckless, sneaking in alcohol to Tara's birthday party, getting drunk, and vomiting uncontrollably. She seems to have learned her lesson when Charlie jokes about it during his 16th birthday party. Darcy's upbeat nature contradicts her poor home life, as her parents are extremely verbally abusive to her sexuality and personality. Because of this, she's often protective of her friends, comforting Elle when mentioning how she's unable to see her family in Egypt by saying she'd make a great grandmother to her, or when she rejects Harry from Tara's birthday party for bullying Charlie.

* Her Hogwarts house is Gryffindor.

* Her character profile states that she "once ate a whole jar of mustard for a dare".
* She hates wearing dresses.

* Her favorite film is *Sky High*.
* Her Instagram handle, as shown in the television series, is @darcy\_the\_egg.

Meowth (Poke Ball)

 Pokemon Attack
 Submitted By:

## **Pokemon Info**

A small cat-like Pokemon that seems to be quite capable of adaptation if its regional variants in Alola and Galar are any indication. Meowths are incredibly attracted to shiny objects and have somehow gained the ability to throw shiny coins from nowhere. They are rather playful, though fickle, and have the capability for human-like intelligence. There are even whispered rumors of a Meowth that has learned human speech!

## **Attack Description**

Meowth will use its signature move Pay Day as it flies forward a seemingly-infinite amount of coins in front of it in a cone pattern. These coins come out rapidly and individually will deal only minimal damage. However since getting caught in this attack can trap a fighter in the attack they can rack up a lot of damage. Meowth will always face in the direction of the fighter who is closest to him so don’t think you can just jump behind Meowth to safety.
Frances Janvier

**Frances Robin Janvier** is the protagonist and narrator of ***Radio Silence***. She is close friends with Aled Last, Raine Sengupta, and Daniel Jun, and used to be friends with Carys Last before she disappeared. Her father is Ethiopian while her mother is English.

## Personality

Frances is very creative and an excellent scholar. She tends to act very differently around her school friends than when she's on her own, calling her other personality "school Frances". She enjoys wearing "weird" clothing, much like Aled.

## Appearance

Frances has brown, curly hair that is of a medium length. Her skin is light brown and freckled. Though she used to straighten and put up her hair, she stopped doing it as much after she befriended Aled.

## Trivia

* A lot of people pronounce her last name wrong, so she is surprised when Aled pronounces it right (/*Zjan-vyay*/).
* Frances has seen *Four Weddings and a Funeral* over fifty times.

## Appearance

James has white skin and dark, curly hair cut short. He has a well-defined face with a button nose, and a slender build.

## Personality

Although his role is minor, James overall seems sweet yet anxious. When dared to kiss Charlie at Tara's birthday gathering, James blushes and is open to it.

When Charlie said he didn't want to go through the dare, James awkwardly retreated, stuttering that it was fine by him, showing he respected Charlie's boundaries.

## Sexuality

### Graphic Novel

James' limited interaction with Charlie seemed to suggest he had a crush on his classmate, or didn't know how to properly express his sexuality. Despite claiming he wasn't gay, James was especially smiley when dared to kiss Charlie, and seemed let down when Charlie rejected him.

### Television Series

Unlike his graphic novel counterpart, this version of James is an openly gay kid. He revealed having crushes on both Charlie and Isaac. He also had his first kiss with Isaac.

## Trivia

I Was Born For This

* UK Cover
* US Cover

***I Was Born For This*** is a novel written by Alice Oseman, which was published on May 3, 2018 in the UK, by HarperCollins and it was also published on October 18, 2022 in the US, by Scholastic Inc.

It is set in the same universe as ***Solitaire***, ***Heartstopper***, ***Radio Silence***, and ***Loveless***. It takes place 2 years after the conclusion of ***Radio Silence***.

In March 2018, signed ARCs were given away in a competition. Each week had a different theme, and the winners were either chosen at random or by Alice herself.

It is the first published Osemanverse book to have a duel narrative. Perspectives switch between Jimmy Kaga-Ricci, the lead singer and frontman of The Ark, and Angel Rahimi, a die-hard fan of the band.

## Blurb

*For Angel Rahimi, life is only about one thing: The Ark - a pop-rock trio of teenage boys who are currently taking the world by storm. By being part of The Ark’s fandom has given her everything - her friendships, her dreams, her place in the world. Jimmy Kaga-Ricci owes everything to The Ark too. He’s their frontman - and playing in a band is all he’s ever dreamed of doing. It’s just a shame that recently everything in his life seems to have turned into a bit of a nightmare. Because that’s the problem with dreaming - eventually, inevitably, real life arrives with a wake-up call. And when Angel and Jimmy are unexpectedly thrust together, they will discover just how strange and surprising facing up to reality can be. A funny, wise and heartbreakingly true coming-of-age novel, I Was Born For This is a stunning reflection of modern teenage life, and the power of believing in something - especially yourself.*

## Plot

"*This is a book about obsession and hero worship and an internationally famous trans musician, it's about a girl going to london for the first time to meet a friend she's known for years but never met, it's about three boys who started from nothing and became gods, it's about teens who sit in bed reading fanfic and dreaming of being rich and famous and in love, dreaming of a life that is something beyond what they have. it's my best book yet and i hope you enjoy it."* - Alice Oseman's comment on the Goodreads page

## Blurb

*I used to think that difficult was better than boring, but I know better now…

I’m not going to think about the past few months, about Charlie and me, and all of the sad. I’m going to block it all out. Just for today.
"Happy Christmas, " I say.

The festive season isn't always happy for Tori and her brother Charlie. And this year's going to be harder than most.*

Nick and Charlie

* Original Cover
* UK Cover
* US Cover

***Nick and Charlie (A Heartstopper novella)***, known simply as ***Nick and Charlie***, is one of the two ***Solitaire*** novellas. Originally published as an eBook on July 16, 2015, by HarperCollins, it was re-published as a paperback with edits and illustrations on August 6, 2020 in the UK, and it was also published on January 3, 2023 in the US, by Scholastic Inc.

It is set during the late events of ***Heartstopper***, when Nick is about to go away for university.

## Blurb

*"CHARLIE: “I have been going out with Nick Nelson for two years. He likes rugby, Formula 1, dogs, the Marvel universe, the sound felt-tips make on paper, rain and drawing on shoes. He also likes me.”

NICK: “Things me and Charlie Spring do together include: Watch films. Sit in the same room on different laptops. Text each other from different rooms. Make out. Make food. Make drinks. Get drunk. Talk. Argue. Laugh. Maybe we're kind of boring. But that’s fine with us.”

Everyone knows that Nick and Charlie are the perfect couple – that they’re inseparable. But now Nick is leaving for university, and Charlie will be left behind at Sixth Form. Everyone’s asking if they’re staying together, which is a stupid question – they’re ‘Nick and Charlie’, for God’s sake!

But as the time to say goodbye gets inevitably closer, both Nick and Charlie question whether their love is strong enough to survive being apart. Or are they delaying the inevitable? Because everyone knows that first loves rarely last forever…"*

## Biography

He was born in Hackney, London. And he was given his first opportunity for a role in acting, when he was handed a flyer while he was in a barbershop, which was an open audition for *Top Boy* (2011).

David Nelson

* Graphic Novel
* Television Series

**David Nelson**, portrayed by Jack Barton, is a supporting antagonist in ***Heartstopper***. He is the eldest son of Stéphane and Sarah Nelson, and the older brother of Nick Nelson by four years.

## Appearance

Despite being the older brother, David is significantly shorter than Nick, standing around 5'11" (about the same height as Charlie), and is less bulky. David's face is more angular and pointy in comparison to his brother's roundish facial features. He has blue eyes, and like Nick, he has short, mousy blonde hair.

## Personality

David is smug, cocky, pompous, entitled, rude, trouble-making, and extremely biphobic and homophobic towards his younger brother. He takes every opportunity to make Nick's life miserable, teasing Nick for his sexuality and his boyfriend. He says that Charlie had "turned his little brother gay" and believed Nick was using the term "bisexual" to cover up his true sexuality. David is shown to be illogical, arguing with his mother that Nick shouldn't have hidden his sexuality from him, only to invalidate Nick's sexuality right to his face. His entitled and spoiled attitude appears to stem from Sarah being afraid to choose sides between her sons, attempting to be neutral and simply shushing David when he makes fun of Nick. However, Sarah snaps when David calls Charlie "clingy", putting him in his place and telling him to stay home if he kept up his nasty attitude, causing David to sulk. When Nick was shown to be nervous telling his and David's estranged father, Stéphane, that Charlie was his boyfriend during dinner, David cruelly took it upon himself to tell his father how Nick and Charlie met. Before he can fully tell him, Tori, Charlie's older sister, dug her nails into his arm and threatened him to stop. Nick finally stood up and told his father that Charlie was his boyfriend, but he didn't care what he thought since he never attempts to have any relationship with him. Turning to David, Nick tells him to "fuck off" for making his life difficult every chance he got and to mind his own business. As he left, David turned to his parents for help, but Sarah once again told him to be quiet, and Stéphane, despite being in the wrong as well, tells his son he is disappointed that he isn't the man that he had hoped David would be. Later on, when Tori steps out from the bathroom hearing David talk down about Charlie on the phone, she silently kicks the phone out of his hand and tells him he's pathetic and threatens to "end him" if he ever talks about Charlie again. Though he did come around to Nick's sexuality eventually, it doesn't erase David's cruel personality and actions.

## Trivia

* He treats girls rather unkindly – according to Alice Oseman, he ‘charms them and dates them and then cheats on them with relatively few qualms about it.’

He made quick friends with the pair and the three of them have been inseparable since. Jason's sort of a hopeless romantic and honestly just seeks happiness in his life after being in an emotionally abusive relationship with Aimee.

He loves video games, scooby-doo and joins the rowing team at Durham. He also wears a wooly "bear jacket" as pictured on the U.S. edition cover. While his sexuality is never specified, Jason definitely hints at being on the ace spectrum throughout the book saying, "it's funny how much stuff revolves around sex. I don't even think I'd need it in a relationship." However, whether he's saying this to sympathize with Georgia or out of true preference is unclear.

## Relationships

## **Stage Info**

Ryoshima Coast is a picturesque coastline featuring in Okami and its sequel, Okamiden. In both Amaterasu and Chibiterasu's initial visits, the spacious vista holds a whisper of its beauty after befalling a terrible curse. Once its Guardian Sapling has been restored and its curse is lifted, it paves the way towards a multitude of important locales, including the Ankoku Temple, Sunken Ship, and Moon Turret. It connects Shinshu Field to Sei-An City.

## **Stage Layout**

Although the vast Ryoshima Coast is ripe for a role as a transporting stage, this rendition takes a different approach. Featuring the coastline's most prominent locations—Ankoku Temple, the Moon Turret, and Sunken Ship—this is a stationary stage. The Moon Turret features on the left side of the stage, offering a platform roughly half the size of Battlefield for characters to battle upon. To its right is a patch of grass, which leads to a staircase, which fighters can take up into a fight upon the roof of Ankoku Temple! In the background, the Sunken Ship can be seen, its cursed imagery becoming more apparent as the sun rises and sets.
