Miss Tucket

*Not to be confused with the real existing character Doctor Tucket.*

**Miss Tucket** is a homicidal nurse turned servant to a cannibalistic creature. Together, they decimated the population of the hospital and roam the grounds to capture more prey. She is a figment of the Main Character's nightmares and an abstraction of the real Doctor Tucket.

## History

### Early Life

Miss Tucket was originally Eva, an ordinary nurse practitioner in the 1990s. Despite often having her pay shirked, taking extra shifts from her colleagues, and dealing with the annoyances of workplace red tape, she handled these troubles for the sake of her true passion— helping her patients. Eventually the daily grind wore her down to the point of her true personality being rather gruff and aloof from stress, resorting to increasingly more common smoke breaks. She met and began dating a man named Sam, and at some point, planning to move in with him out of her cheap apartment.

One November, after being bothered about the whereabouts of nurse Sebastian, Eva received a break-up call from Sam, citing another woman, Lily. Enraged, she smashed her cellphone and began to sob, enraging the Doctorpede, who slammed the nearby dumpster open and darted its tail out, stinging Eva in the back.

### Induction

After recovering from the stab wounds, the False Asterion venom running through her bloodstream went undetected, though her white blood cell elevation was noted. After being released and sent home, Eva instead visited the Doctorpede and fostered a friendship with the creature, even as it stung her once again. Over the ensuing weeks, she would first bring it leftovers to eat, followed by food stolen from the hospital cafeteria, upwards to giving her patients' assigned meals to it. As she became more envenomed, her work ethic slipped as she worked through a daze and spent all her breaks tending to the Doctorpede.

The haggard nurse eventually decided that the Doctorpede had grown so much, it would need more to eat soon. Then she called Sam to meet her behind the hospital at night. When he arrived, she pleaded with him to leave Lily for her, for the “baby”. Incredibly confused, flabbergasted, then weirded out, Sam then observed Eva showing him the Doctorpede (in the middle of eating Sebastian's remains). Sam proceeded to smack Eva, calling her crazy and she retaliated by pushing him into the dumpster where he was grappled and eaten alive by the Doctorpede. After realizing it enjoyed humans as much as any other food, Eva used Sam's phone to call Lily over, where she was fed to the creature (who only drank all her blood instead of eating her). Being stung once again, she snuck the Doctorpede into the morgue in the basement and fed it an embalmed liver, then spent the rest of the night caring for the sickened monster.

With the last of her faith in humanity, feeling something bad was going to happen, Eva transferred her patients to other hospitals without proper authorization. The patients were ultimately transferred and Eva was reprimanded for this act plus her slipping work. Eva cried with rage to the Doctorpede that night, killed the basement staff, and fed them to it. Overnight, Eva boarded up all the windows and exits with long nails. The next day, she and the Doctorpede bumrushed the hospital, zooming through halls and slashing at bystanders. Over the next week, she would track down still-living stragglers personally.

Once the massacre was finished, Eva began butchering the best meat for the Doctorpede in the basement. Eventually, she became so envenomed with its neurotoxin, her injection points stopped healing, including on her face. Miss Tucket donned a bucket onto her head to hide the holes in her face and she ceased most higher cognitive functions. She also stripped down to just an apron, boots, and gloves.
