## **The Cosmic Troublemaker (Shatterstar) / The Compassionate Soul (Shimmer)**

Shatterstar is a minor villain in the Rad RP Universe. She is a cosmic entity from another universe with a mischievous nature that shares her body with a human soul. The human soul has a personality that calls herself Shimmer, who is a polite, compassionate girl.

## **Appearance**

Shatterstar is a short humanoid with a feminine appearance. Her navy-blue dress seamlessly transitions to her actual body as they both have the same color. Her head has a curve-horned structure that resembles a helmet, the lights on the structure are flexible and serve as her eyebrows when making facial expressions. Her face is pale with glowing cyan eyes and lacks a nose. She has a spiky-haired mane that originates from her chest that extends upwards to her neck, surrounding her head like a collar. Her arms starts with the navy-blue color of her dress that fades into a glowing cyan coloration coming from her hands. Shatterstar's shoes are light-blue, high-heeled boots that are segmented by dark sections of a hard plastic material. Her dress comes adorned with some light-blue diamond patterns surrounding the skirt area.

As Shimmer, Shatterstar transforms into a human girl with blond hair. Her dress gains a blue section on the upper half of her body and a white collar. The dress is sleeveless now, her arms are mostly covered with long, white gloves that extend to her biceps and exposing her shoulders. Her footwear remains mostly the same but the light blue parts are a darker shade of blue. Shimmer's face is on Caucasian skin tone and has blue eyes to go with her blond hair. The curved helmet horn from Shatterstar is represented by a dark crescent hair pin on the back of her head.

## **Personality & Background**

Shatterstar was initially a soulless evil being devoid of emotion and thinking until she was given the soul of a human girl in the form of Shimmer. Without her soul, Shatterstar does not speak and attacks indiscriminately.

As a result of receiving a soul, Shatterstar's evil nature combined with Shimmer's pure heart to create a bratty, mischievous personality. She likes to toy with her opponents and has no interest in killing them. Shatterstar has a tendency to be sadistic at times, tormenting people that are acquainted with Shimmer. Most of the time, Shatterstar will harass potential targets with Hazard Cast and Orbiters while she hides somewhere on the map as she watches with amusement.

Shatterstar found herself confused with her newfound emotions and thoughts. She wished to get rid of them at first, until she eventually embraced her soul with acceptance after the events of Toad Town in the Bowser Arc.

While her primary interest is to cause chaos without destruction, Shimmer's soul has influenced her personality over time as she becomes less evil and more interested about other things in life.

As Shimmer, she is compassionate and caring towards others. Willing to help others where she can, whether it is caring for the injured or helping in the reconstruction efforts of places where Shatterstar has attacked. Shimmer is somewhat timid as she stutters in her speech or generally feels uncomfortable near weapons due to her HP total of 1. Because of her frail nature, Shimmer prefers to help people away from harm although she wishes she was capable of doing more. Upon losing her powers after the Final Mech Incident, Shimmer has grown frustrated with feeling even more helpless than before which made her develop a desire for power so she can help others again. That desire for power stemming from helplessness will eventually lead to her corruption and downfall.

Shimmer was able to bond with a single Orbiter that she named "Orby". After her failed rescue attempt in Bowser's Castle, Orby was killed by a bomb thrown into Shimmer's home through her own portal.

## **Abilities**

To compensate for generally low stats, Shatterstar has a wide selection of support abilities that be used offensively. Her strategy mainly involves casting hazards and summons into the map while she hides away from harm. In direct combat, Shatterstar can be easily defeated in 1-2 hits because of her light and frail build.

**Hazard Cast** - A random hazard is deployed on the map until Shatterstar takes damage. Shatterstar can change the hazard anytime with a reroll.

**Orbiter** - Summon a small Cacodemon-like monster that orbits around a single target. Orbiter will shoot projectiles and bite at the target it orbits. It has 1 HP and will die to any attack.

**Portal** - Can be used to remove projectiles or to travel between locations.

**Barrier** - Spawn a barrier made of solid light.

**Alternation** - Shatterstar assumes an alternate human form. Alternation also comes with a completely different personality, the user is trapped in this form until it takes any form of damage.

## **Trivia**
