The heroes believe in fighting for justice only to kill anyone who makes the slightest offense as though they're a Toon God.

Fink refers to Professor Venomous' minion and her older counterpart, Shadowy Fink. She was found years ago by the former superhero in a sewer and raised by him as his adopted daughter and partner in crime, actively facing against the heroes of Lakewood Plaza whenever she got the chance. By the time of the Toon Wars, she was considered an honorary member of the Secret Toon Force due mostly to her love of destruction contributing to the team taking down important Syndicate operations. As Professor Venomous' Shadowy half began to take over, she was unable to help him until K.O. learned he was his son, allying with him to bring down the alter ego. In Turbo, your Fellow, however, Venomous was slowly being corrupted by the Virus Entity along with the rest of the planet, leaving only her and K.O.'s turbonic half, Turbo, to fend for themselves. Together, they freed Venomous from the virus' influence before he died from its ill effects, and in their journey realized their inner potential after letting go of their hatred. They were soon picked up by Clockwork, who brought them to an artificial timeline where they could train to their ideal selves, eventually strong enough to return and take on the Toon God in the main timeline. As a result, this led to Fink being split into two versions of herself, where one follows the show while the other follows Toon Wars: The Final Days. After the war, Shadowy Fink met her original self and befriended the adult version of Anais Watterson, partnering with her to create a booming market in Toon City, beginning with a boutique then expanding to science and technology. This market would then evolve into a multinational corporation, providing new technologies for the Toonverse. The original Fink, meanwhile, became a professional gamer and won many awards after settling down from villainy.

## Appearance

As a kid, Fink was a short green humanoid rat with a similar build to K.O. She wore a light grey shirt with a skirt lacking sleeves, along with magenta gloves and boots. She had long messy mint green hair and a stubby black nose. Normally her eyes are drawn red while in turbo form they're yellow; the result of the removable collar on her neck. In her turbonic form, her claws and teeth get sharper while her hair gets more wild. When she becomes an adult, she wears a similar dress but now has open-finger gloves, sneakers, and visible shorts under her skirt. Her hair is also tucked back from a ponytail and her ears (always above her head) are pierced.

The older Shadowy Fink wears the same outfit as Shadowy Venomous, having claimed it for herself in the artificial timeline made by Clockwork. It appears as an ultra-violet coat and boots with a dark purple scarf and gloves. Her green fur is lighter than her original self and her eyes, mainly her irises, are a calm blue. She wears purple eyeliner and has shorter dark purple hair. At times when her coat is unbuttoned, her bare stomach is visible.

## Personality

The prime Fink is known to be very aggressive, mainly to people other than those closest to her (possibly from her past as a sewer rat). She's very independent yet incredibly malicious, often picking fights for the sake of fighting heroes or causing mayhem; sometimes after asking Venomous to let her go all out. She isn't, however, without compassion, being very attached to Venomous in spite of Shadowy Figure's influence on him. She also admits to being the way she is due to neglect from others, which K.O. and his Turbo self discovered along with Venomous and members of the Secret Toon Force. Her care for her boss led her to trying to keep Shadowy's grip on him a secret to prevent a complete erasure of Venomous. She's perhaps the only other being besides K.O. and the Toon Force who actually acknowledge Shadowy as a separate entity, blaming all of Venomous' negligence and misdeeds on his corrupted self. Nevertheless, she, like him, really enjoys the thrill of attacking who she can only describe as "Goodie-Two-Shoes" heroes like K.O. and would constantly find things to destroy while still being a regular child up until the end of the show where she finally rids of Shadowy Figure, frees Venomous and gets to have a happy life with he and other characters, settling down to become a pro-gamer.

Fink's alternate counterpart started out from her lowest point in her life completely resentful of everyone around her besides Boxman and her boss, unable to find a solution to stopping Shadowy from taking over and becoming envious of K.O. for having better allies than her. However, when the Toon God killed K.O. and attacked the planet, leaving only Turbo and Dendy alive, Fink learned that she and K.O.'s turbonic self had more in common (i.e. their love of destruction, their bitterness toward others from neglect, and personalities). Though she was reluctant to tag along, likewise from Turbo, she stuck around finding humor in seeing him at his weakest state. Their bond began to grow the further they went to escaping Boxmore; both realizing they work well together and relate to each other more than anyone else. So much that when Dark Dendy reveals herself, attempting to manipulate Fink into joining the corrupted by using Venomous as a reward, she refuses and outsmarts the creature. Even Shadowy Laserblast, despite at first scaring the young girl, was unable to break her thanks mainly to her and Turbo's connection. When it seemed as though they were about to be killed by the corrupted, Fink and Turbo understood that they were full of hatred and sorrow, openly acknowledging their joy in their cooperation. After finally letting go of their anger, both Turbo and Fink's personalities undergo a permanent change.

As an adult, Shadowy Fink is a lot more meditative, focused, and well-mannered than her prime self; similar to Shadowy Figure but far less twisted. Her and Turbo's friendly bond turned into love as they refer to each other as "babe," which irks K.O. and the original Fink. She has no problem doing the task of gathering Toon Force members even if they're all heroes, no longer judging people based on the limits of her world. As evident by her interaction with Jenny Wakeman during the reset phase, she enjoys a good challenge, playfully dodging and blocking her attacks as though it were one of her games. Regardless of the scenario, she comes off as incredibly level-headed, whereas Turbo could be easily annoyed by Spongebob and Squidward;s meddling. Occasionally, when she does return to her evil ways or even contributes to helping the Toon Force, it is simply business-based or just for fun; nothing personal.

## Relationships

### Professor Venomous and Boxman

Fink cares strongly about Venomous and Boxman, referring to them as "Boss" and "Boxboss". Venomous found and raised Fink on his own, teaching her the ways of villainy and giving her a sense of independence at a young age. Because of the influence of Shadowy Figure, Venomous was, at times, unable to take care of her as much as he wanted to, once even shouting out of frustration (which he quickly apologized for). However, he is never purposefully neglectful and always treats her as though she were her daughter. The same can be said for Boxman, who initially wasn't favored by Fink until she saw the skill in him like Venomous did. It's also noteworthy that, in spite of Shadowy's grip on Venomous as his alter-ego, Fink knows Shadowy to be a separate entity when no one else but K.O. and Boxman believe her. So much that when Shadowy Laserblast and/or Turbo K.O. (in-show) are unleashed, she is willing to sacrifice herself to protect her boss and even admit her faults to Turbo. This relationship with all three characters lasts for both prime Fink and her Shadowy counterpart as they still care for one another even when they've moved on from their villainous behavior in the series.

### K.O. and Turbo

K.O. is perhaps the biggest hero Fink hates most, which later changes to tolerating when they team up to take down Shadowy Figure. She knew him to be Venomous' son and enjoyed never saying a word about it to him. At first, K.O. saw Fink as yet another evildoer that needed to be stopped; only this time acting as his biggest rival. However, as the show progressed, he began to warm up to her, seeing her pain during some of their brawls. When she reveals Shadowy Figure's intentions to he and Venomous, K.O. froze, no longer seeing Fink as just another supervillain.

This perception carries over to Turbo, who perhaps is the most in sync with Fink. Both are typically aggressive to others, enjoy a good fight, and dislike K.O. and his friends due to neglect. Since Turbo was powered entirely by the same negative
energy Fink gets when using glorbs, Fink saw him as a potential obstacle
 if she sought to get stronger than him. Though she found he was mostly on the same level as she was when idle thanks to K.O. being gone, and
his injuries from the Toon God's manipulation. Their journey to escaping Boxmore in the middle of the Virus Attack caused them to develop a close bond with one another, even realizing their errors when they were close to defeat at the hands of Shadowy Laserblast. Together, they understood how much rage and hatred they had within them, finally letting go to overcome their limitations. From Toon Wars: The Final Days onward, they would become a couple, which irks the prime K.O. and Fink to no end.

### The Toon Force

> "*Working with heroes to save the multiverse? YUCK!!! ...But I really like the medal they gave me.*"

Fink was first mentioned by Venomous to the Secret Toon Force on their first assignment and later told about them by accident by the same man. Instead of directly joining the team, she was tasked as an honorary member by Danny Phantom when he discovered her attacking Lakewood while K.O. was gone one day. Rather than defeating her in combat, he calmly requested her aid in helping the Secret Toon Force bring down a Syndicate base using her love of destruction to her advantage. This was the first time Fink had ever interacted with a hero who saw the potential in her instead of just wanting to fight her. She was met with even more surprise when the team enjoyed her company; even receiving an award from Jimmy Neutron for her aid in bringing down the Syndicate. Because of this and Turbo later on, Fink began to see the morality of heroes and villains differently and came to respect the Toon Force. This respect carries over to Toon Wars: The Final Days and beyond when the multiverse is at stake, actively gathering survivors of the crisis to defeat the Toon God.

## Abilities

Both versions of Fink have just about the same abilities as K.O. though fairly limited. She has the power to shoot energy blasts from her palms and uses neigh superhuman strength to fight against heroes. However, in her turbonic state, she has the power to fly, fight harder (enough to damage Shadowy Figure), and teleport at will. This state would come to be permanently integrated into Shadowy Fink with the realized form of Absolute Power, granting her a far more sustained level of power comparable to that of an Ultra-Tier fighter. When fully unleashed in her first use of her unlocked state of being, she and Turbo were able to completely destroy their world in one blow against Shadowy Laserblast; though this is partially due to the planet already being ruined by the Toon God.

## Stats

Fink at first was about as strong as K.O. was in both the show and Toon Wars, second only to Gumball who was naturally stronger than the two at the time. Normally, she could take on heroes like Enid and Radicles if given the chance; especially in Turbo mode when her strength is increased to the absolute maximum. However, in her rare moments, she could be defeated by being outsmarted even in her strongest state. In the Toon Wars, she was unable to phase Danny Phantom without the aid of his abilities, though he states if trained well, she could seriously hurt him. Such strength was needed for the Secret Toon Force's missions, which she occasionally participated in as sort of a tank in turbo mode. To Venomous and Jimmy, Fink's love of destruction is partially why she both fails and succeeds as she fought without proper strategy besides taunting.

This was very quickly improved when she worked with K.O. to defeat Shadowy Figure and spent time with Turbo. Against the corrupted, Fink fought scarily better than when she battled K.O., admitting its because she no longer felt the need to hold back on anyone she disliked, Boxmore or not. She and Turbo were, at first, woefully unprepared for Shadowy Laserblast, who even when faced with a load of glorbs, was still not enough to be phased by a being at their level. However, after letting go of their hatred, they were able to progress past the limitations of their world to the point where they had the power to destroy it in one bloq. This strength level became the norm for the two from then on, though far more sustained. Shadowy Fink was able to match against the Toon God without taking much damage and had enough energy to pierce through him with Bimm and Nicole alongside her. In Toon Wars Shorts, she was also able to match a Werebunny version of Anais, who was enough to shake Nicole Watterson and her Werecat counterpart.

## Trivia

* Fink's tail in-show is always drawn as a curved line while Frozarburst's drawings always depict it in detail.
* Like Gaz Membrane, Fink is a professional gamer.
	+ Her Shadowy self is also still a gamer but not as often, finding a different occupation with Anais.
* Fink is perhaps the third character in Toon Wars to have two versions of the same person at once due to timeline shenanigans; this time courtesy of Clockwork. The other three include Turbo, Wulf (who merged with his prime self) and Anais Watterson.
* To have them age normally in the main timeline, Clockwork keeps Fink and Turbo in their 20's until their age matches with their prime selves.
* Though Fink considers herself a villain, Danny Phantom and others outside her world usually see her as more of an anti-hero. Shadowy Fink especially finds herself to bein line with the latter.
* Although the alternate Fink hates Shadowy Figure, she refers to herself as Shadowy Fink to avoid confusion.
* Both versions of Fink had developed an attachment to Danny and other members of the Toon Force in some regard since they're some of the few characters to show the same level of care to her as Venomous.
* It's said that when she and Turbo fought one last time to see who was the strongest, Fink could have easily won had she not been pulling her punches to make the fight last longer for her enjoyment. She was only defeated verbally when Turbo got her to say "I love you".
