Namco Museum Curator

* AUT
* Halloween

**Namco Museum Curator** is the 5th character featured in Another Unnecessary Tournament, originating as an originally designed character made to represent **Namco Ltd.**

## Bio

Representing Namco Ltd., **Namco Museum Curator** joins the tournament! She might be an unfamiliar face to most, but you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who isn't extremely familiar with at least one of her sources. Being a curator and all, she brings with her the main facets of a museum, from the fine arts to the sound that one may expect from the building itself. Not only that, her galleries' also carrying an assortment of music from many beloved Namco games. Can she snag a win for a new display -- or is her outcome only an artifact of misguided dreams?

## Sources

- Songs from Namco game series *(PAC-MAN, Tekken, Taiko no Tatsujin, etc.)*

- Songs related to arts & crafts *(Mario Paint, Art Academy, Pictionary, etc.)*

- Songs related to museums or galleries *(Louvre Museum Invasion, Trophy Gallery, Game & Watch Gallery, etc.)*

- Songs used as "extra" or "bonus" tracks from games *(Star World, Totaka's Song, Battle Frontier, etc.)*

## Physical Appearance

Namco Museum Curator appears as a combination of many different Namco assets. While they holds a Fygar from *Dig Dug* in her character render, her design majorly takes homage to Acha from *Toy Pop.* However, it is also notable that the character also takes design elements from other Namco properties, such as:

* The cabinet design of *Dig Dug's* Taizo Hori, through their general visual styling, cheeks, and skin.
* *PAC-MAN,* through their gloves, eyes, and hairpin.
* The Tractor Beam fired by the Boss Galaga in *Galaga*, through the arrangement of her coloured pens.
* *Galaga's* Boss Galaga itself, vaguely resembled by their ponytail.

The outline of Namco Museum Curator's internal component is the PAC-MAN Maze, and the external component is a blue-green, with the *Galaga* ship, Mappy, and an *X-Rally* flag included within it.

## Personality

Being a Museum Curator, Namco usually tries to keep up a professional demeanor around others. She has kept good relations with all of her opponents (excluding Fawful, who doesn't seem to have good relations with anyone) and is generally well-liked among the rest of the contestants. She is usually modest about her victories in the tournament, acknowledging that she did not expect to win against Captain Viridian. Despite this, she holds a lot of anxiety towards her future matches, due to being one of the final characters still in the Winner's Bracket.

Namco has a vocal tic that makes them involuntary say words like "blip" or "waka" at the end of most sentences. It is unknown why this tic exists, but it has been a constant since the beginning of the tournament. They are generally soft spoken in general and are never seen raising their voice at any other character.

### QNA

In the QNA, she often acts as a mediator for the other contestants. She is seen settling down Yogi after he gets too mad and Fawful after he gets too arrogant.
