S3

*"S3: Sssneak, Sssnide and Ssslash." -(S3's Motto)*

## Overall

***S3*** is the name of the alliance created by Seviper in Celadon't Lose the Passion! and the main stable (villain party alliance) of the series. Seviper is the tough as nails founder and leader of it, with Dunsparce and Anorith as lackeys, that she treats generally in a harsh and bossy way. **The name of the alliance comes from the verbal tic of Seviper to ssspeak with three S and it's also an ironical name considering all the members of the alliance are spineless and S3 is the name of a vertebre.** The three allies meet always in the Vent to discuss about their strategies.

The aim of the alliance is to guarantee to have always three votes against the same target, and help Seviper with her villainous schemes and cunning plans. While Seviper herself is the tactician, the actual executers are Anorith and Dunsparce: the former is particularly exploited for his handliness, resistance and experience, the latter for the most humiliating tasks, sabotages or simply to spy out the confessionals. However, Seviper treats Dunsparce slightly better than Anorith because the anomalocaris has a rougher temper and renegade attitude to obey her orders. In addition, Anorith and Seviper have straight opposite opinions on Gorebyss and don't trust each others.

## History

While Dunsparce joined "willingly" to her, Seviper has to force Anorith surprising him in the vent confessional in Celadon't Lose the Passion! and threatens him of physical pain if he doesn't accept, however Anorith is not intimidated by this but eventually she blackmails him to tell anyone about his sabotage of Vanillite and Anorith finally joins, forming the S3 on condition that his enemy Vanillite will be the first target.

In the next episode Seviper uses Dunsparce to sabotage the enemies during the challenges while Anorith is at the edge of his conflict with Vanillite. Following the agreement, Seviper and Dunsparce voted off Vanillite at the end. After Vanillite's exit, Anorith seems to have confirmed his loyalty to the alliance obeying to Seviper's orders in later episodes with just occasional moments of tension and he still protects Gorebyss, while Seviper hates her.

After the events occurred in Ilex Forest Dura Lex between Dunsparce, Lunatone, Seviper and Sylveon, the bond between the two snakes increases and the alliance vote off Sylveon that night. However in the next episode the alliance begins to stumble when Seviper forces Dunsparce way too far his possibilities showing no mercy and things get worse and worst in the sixth one. In this episode Seviper makes really hard for Dunsparce and Anorith to follow her: she recklessly forces Dunsparce in being similar to her causing his huge crisis and disappearance for the rest of the episode, meanwhile she abuses of Anorith's availability constantly yelling and threatening him despite he's being the only one who's collaborating actively...

At the beginning of Radio Victini Anorith makes an harsh opinion on the female cast and Seviper provides personally for his punishment sweeping him out the window with a Poison Tail. Later on, Anorith spots her in the Vent saying she wishes to kill Gorebyss much for Anorith's anger and preoccupation. Hating more than ever, Anorith immediately renews his loyalty to S3 just to protect his love from her.

## Members

### **Seviper (Leader)**

Seviper is the founder of the stable. Her reckless and threatening attitude is the reason she gets little to no problems in being obeyed. Seviper uses her partners as cronies but she doesn't disdain to do personally the dirt work, depends, by the way she's fully abusive of them and has no holds to pick them up if they don't do what she orders!

### **Anorith (Lancer)**

Despite his stubborn and renegade behavior, and how much low Seviper considers him, Anorith is an essential source for the alliance (as for the Venturers) being the only member to have a sort of handliness and arms, his tough temper is also the reason he never quits in front of a challenge. Having Anorith on her side allows Seviper to complete difficult challenges and rely on someone more courage and with a lesser morality than the meekly Dunsparce. Anyway, there's a mutual dislike between them and Seviper keeps always an eye on Anorith, to the point she makes him go through the most painful and humiliating situations. Anorith's poor behavior is a berserk button, too.

### **Dunsparce (Third wheel)**

Dunsparce is the third wheel but actually Seviper considers him her second in command, on an extent. Dunsparce's woobie status allows him to be the most trusted of the cast and that's why his main job is spying the other confessionals and inform her about. By the way, Seviper doesn't like the lack of evilness of him and often tries to make him be more mischievous than nothing.
