**Rue Meringue** is a Jackbox host voiced by Dezi Bing. She made their debut in The Jackbox Party Pack 9 as the host of Roomerang. They appear as a playable character in Tee K.O. 2.

## Appearances

### Roomerang

Rue Meringue first appeared as the host *(with the most)* of Roomerang. She's in charge of running the reality TV show the players star in, ranging from pushing the buttons behind the scenes to announcing the eliminated players front and center. Doing it all with style, sass, and a whole lot of ***drama!*** and smear frames.

### Tee K.O. 2

Rue Meringue appears as a playable character in Tee K.O. 2, and was the 5th revealed character for #TeeKO2uesday. They wear a t-shirt the same blue as her blazer, navy blue bell-bottoms and flats *(since fighting to death in pumps is a very very bad idea!)*. They're pointing at the camera while holding an ivory colored envelop in the other hand, either to just look cool, or possibly as a threat, since envelopes (particularly in the hands of the host) in Roomerang mean elimination. Leading to the potential conclusion that Rue's threatening to eliminate ***us***.

## Design

She has a relatively inconsistent height, ranging from tall, to very tall, to very *VERY* tall depending on the context and material. She has very short & reflective navy hair on the top of their scalp that's messy upfront, but clean in the back. Their face is split into two halves by an uneven line, one side is much darker than the other, and each side is dotted with freckles. Her features are lopsided, including her ears, which are visible from the front. Her nose is crooked to left, only showing one nostril, but has been shown to face right if Rue is facing primarily that direction. The back of their head is dark, while the back of their ears are light.

They have black prominent eyebrows and eyes that appear black, but are actually navy blue, with white pupils that can turn into stars when she's excited *(yet despite having white pupils, they appear to be able to see just fine)*, accented with 4 prominent eyelashes on their lower eyeline, coated in clumpy mascara, and blue reflective eyeshadow done in a garage door style. The amount of eyeshadow applied is inconsistent, either covering the entire eyelid, or just a quarter. Her lips are plump and coated with a crimson shade of lipstick, and they either talk through their teeth, or have an entirely white mouth. Her eyebrows, eyes, & mouth hover over their face, and move separately from the rest of her body, and can even be removed from their face entirely.

They have a long neck which is darker than her torso and arms, and a prominent collarbone that divides the dark from the light. Her legs also appear to be darker, and her hands & feet are quite large in comparison to their lanky limbs. Their waist is very pinched, akin to wearing a steel-boned corset. She has a sky blue blazer with navy patches on the elbows, and a large, prominent, V-shaped collar in that very same color. The blazer is closed to the right with a singular navy blue button. She wears navy blue bell-bottoms, and navy blue pumps. While not always visible: they have short nails painted a radiant, reflective blue similarly to the closing seam on their blazer. They are very flexible, reaching contortionist levels of malleability.

	+ This doesn't confirm or deny if Rue's trans or anything, it's just a fun piece of trivia. *Would be really cool if Rue was trans...*
* Roomerang, and by extension Rue's character design, takes heavy inspiration from cubism, more specifically artist Pablo Picasso, as stated by the official Jackbox Party Pack 9 promotional activity book's crossword puzzle.
	+ Other inspirations include Steve Madden commercials¹, Cartoon Network's CN City bumpers, & stand-up comedian Michelle Buteau².

* Rue is one of two hosts to have promotional art of them in their swimsuit, the other being Capt. Chuck from Joke Boat.
* When introducing a "new" roomie, Rue has the chance to say *"They found me."*, implying that they're currently on the run. From what is not specified.

* They, like many *many* characters, appear on the Quixort Forever online scoreboards, ranking number 35 with a score of 31,700.
