**Pizzelle** **"Suzette" Theodore** is the main character of Sugary Spire.

## Description

Pizzelle owns an ice cream parlor, being the local candy maker of her town. She is the protagonist of Sugary Spire and the first playable character. She seems to be very worried about something, but that's the main expression that can be seen the most, as she can also show signs of malice.

She's on his quest of looting the Sugary Spire to find what she can use to make more candy.

## Main Abilities

She plays similarly to Peppino, but instead of running to gain speed, she uses her scooter instead.

Notably, since the game's code is based off of the old Pizza Tower demos, it is very barebones and weak. This may be fixed in the future.

### Crusher Slam

Pressing down while in the air allows Pizzelle to crush blocks below using her Crusher. This ability is similar to Peppino's Body Slam.

### Super Jump

Pressing up while dashing at Mach 3 and releasing will cause Pizzelle to super jump. The player can move side-to-side slowly before releasing, but cannot move horizontally once the super jump is initiated. Unlike Peppino's super jump, Pizzelle's jump can break metal blocks.

### Wall-Run

Pizzelle's wall-run actually functions quite differently than to Peppino's, as instead of maintaining and even accelerating when running up walls, she will slowly lose speed and eventually fall back down. When she jumps off a wall, she will jump off at the same speed she had started at when she first started wall-running.

### Grab Spin

If Pizzelle grabs an enemy and holds run, she will spin with the enemy. Pressing the grab button will throw the enemy in the direction she is moving towards. Alternatively, let go of run to stop spinning and return to holding the enemy the normal way.

### Tumble

If you press grab as Pizzelle while grabbing, he will perform a tumble move. This can be used to get more speed quickly.

## Trivia

* Pizzelle's full name is Pizzelle "Suzette" Theodore, this is confirmed in the game's carrd.
	+ Nicknames include: "Pizzy", [insert more nicknames here]
		- She was formerly named "Pizzelle Suzette". Former nicknames include "Twiggy", and curiously, "Pizzano."
* Pizzelle was confirmed transfem by the developers in the Sugary Spire discord.
	+ This is a cause of frequent confusion, due to Pizzelle using any pronouns.
		- Pizzelle using any pronouns was likely a way to alleviate the issue of using the wrong pronouns for her before (for example in fresh delivery where she is referred to as a he due to her not being confirmed as transfem at the time.)
* In some artwork, Pizzelle has freckles and her chef's hat has patches on it.
* Pizzelle's crusher is based off of that in which The Noise uses in his respective Pizza Tower bossfight.
	+ However, it is based off an early design for the crusher that isn't used in the final version of Pizza Tower.

* A "pizzelle" is a traditional Italian waffle cookie. This is of course, an opposite of Peppino's name. While Peppino's name has a last name named after food (Spaghetti), Pizzelle has a first name named after food (Pizzelle). PIzzelle's name is based off of candy, just like how Peppino's last name is based off of Italian food.

* Pizzelle's idle animation displays her extra teeth, but in her Mach 3 animation, she does not have any. This also happens a whole lot more with The Noise from Pizza Tower.
* Pizzelle was going to have a shoulder bash in place of a grab at one point in development, but this was changed less than a day after it was announced.
* Pizzelle can actually crawl under speed boosters in ss to avoid getting launched by them. This can be useful for backtracking as it prevents you from being locked out of areas with speed boosters.
* Pizzelle originally had a purple bow tie. This was removed possibly to help simplify her design.
* Pizzelle was going to a have a train hat transformation that put her in Mach 3 and made her unable to stop running. After a certain amount of time, her hat would explode and end the transformation. The only proof of this is a piece of concept art suggesting it didn’t get that far in development.
* Pizzelle is a surprisingly good artist.
* Pizzelle crochets blankets for her friends and family in her free time.
* Pizzelle's online username is "candyConfectioner."
	+ Her username is used on the game's website, implying that she created it.
* Despite popular belief, Pizzelle is not a gremlin as confirmed by the devs.
