Vava Von Vixen

A fiery fox actress known by many for her (often typecast) roles as the bombshell babe. She currently lives on the edge of Toontown with her daughter, Vivi.

## Personality

Outwardly physical in her affections and very open on her opinions, Vava cares little on how others’ view her. She is absolutely a large and loud presence who with a sharp tongue and bright laugh. For the casual acquaintance or stranger, she plays into her celebrity personality, often coming across as a bit aloof or dismissive in a ‘too rich to be smart’ way. For those lucky or determined enough to know her better, Vava is a deeply kind and giving individual, who often hides this behind her aloof persona. (Buying an outfit for someone preparing for an interview, and claiming it as “Professionalism demands perfection, darling, and you can’t be anything less!”)

## Appearance

Vava is a lineless fox in an almost Warne style,though she claims to be Frankenalie. Her fur is orange with white hands, feet and tail tip. Her eyes are always closed, and shown as a white line with 2 lashes each. Her tail is large and bushy and, when the situation is appropriately dramatic, can split into 5 tails. (Those darn Ghiblian genes.)

Her clothing is constantly changing, and varies from elegant dresses to simple tops and skirts. The only “constant” is a blue amulet she wears, which was a gift from Mersel.

## Backstory

Vava has been performing since she could walk, and likely before. Her mother pushed her into acting roles, where she had mild success in multiple films and some theatre, until she finally got her big break in the hit musical film "Up Argentine Way" at 26. While trying to find her footing she worked under the name “Vava Von Vixen”, as opposed to her birth name, Victoria Vixen. She signed an exclusivity contract with Vulpine Studios after the film’s success.

From there it became an avalanche, or perhaps a tidal wave. Vava was in her element, and loving every second of it. She starred in multiple films, usually as the love interest or ‘sultry romance’ character. Efforts to break out of this typecast were few and hard won. But Vava rolled with her casting, seemingly unbothered or, at least, comfortable enough in the roles to not raise much fuss whenever contract negotiations came up. She knew what sold, and was content to humor those roles until she had enough presence to push for roles she wanted.

During this period of time she met her late husband, a talented Warne musician by the name of Jimmy Harold. Jimmy would spend several months trying to court the actress, but Vava played very hard to get with the reasoning ‘if someone wanted her for her, they would put in the effort to know her.’ Sure enough, Harold was a determined toon, and he did, in fact, win over the famous Vixen. When asked how he did it, Harold’s response was always the same: “I danced her dance until she finally danced back.” The two married after some years and Vava describes him as the absolute love of her life. At 35 the actress announced to the world she and Jimmy were having a daughter, named Vivi.

Unfortunately, tragedy struck shortly after Vivi’s first birthday. Jimmy had been in a car accident and it took the musician’s life. The news came as a devastating blow to Vava, who became a very private individual after the accident. While still acting, public appearances by the actress dropped completely and many tabloids speculated she did nothing else.

Recently, word came out that Vava had finally cut ties with Vulpine Studios and moved to Toontown, possibly in search of other employment.

## Shenanigans

**Getting a Mooves On!**: DJ Mooves is holding auditions! Vava Von Vixen, along with Rezze, Herb and Cultist-Chan all toss their hat into the ring for a chance at being hired on to the illustrious Dodo Studios. The 4 are interviewed separately, and then tasked with an improvised scene to show their acting skills. Vava, eager to branch out from her typical typecast roles, is cast as the villain of the group.

**Chance Reunion:** It's a normal day in Dodo Studios when Mersel meets famous celebrity Vava von Vixen and her daughter, Vivi- except they already know each other? After a meal together that is rudely interrupted by paparazzi, the two finally reunite and talk, laying old grievances and misunderstandings to rest.

**The Poodle and The Vixen**: Primrose Poodle has a date! But she is not sure what to wear and raided the costume department for potential outfits. Vava finds her mid-fashion montage and immediately whisks her fellow actress away for an impromptu shopping trip!

**It Takes Two to Dazzle!**: Vava and her coworker Rezze spend an afternoon together with the intent to go shopping. But they are rudely interrupted by a group of crooks looking to settle a score with Rezze. Vava is quick to engage and together she and Rezze manage to get out of trouble. But not before Vava tells Rezze that people care about them, and they can always ask her for help if needed.

**Sparring Role**: Vava has been worried about Mersel, of late, after news of Bal d'Argent and other shenanigans the warlock gets up to. His attempts to verbally convince her he can handle himself do little, and the two end up sparring in the kitchens for a demonstration. Vava easily bests Mersel in hand-to-hand, but when allowed magic Mersel handily defeats her. Afterwards, gifts and a shocking, but welcome, realization occur.

**After Class**: One evening, late to pick up her daughter from dance lessons, Vava finally enters the illustrious Crown Jewel Institute of Performing and Visual Arts and encounters Serul Booke, Vivi's teacher. The two chat while their children practice, clearly getting along very well for a first meeting. Vava speaks some concerns and Serul gives his honest reassurances which the actress finds a breath of fresh air.

**Window Shopping**: Vava snags Mersel and invites him to take a walk. The two have a wonderful chat about a lot of things, and Vava finally admits that she considers Mersel her son. He's surprised and a bit in shock, but accepts this revelation.

**Past and Present**: After the events of Showtime, and other such things, Mersel notices Vava is hovering more than she usually does. When he finally confronts her about it, Vava admits she is worried about him. And starts to open up about the events surrounding her late husband, Jimmy. She's held on to those emotions for some time. It's a very rough topic, but the two manage to come to an understanding.

**Fight Club 2, Electric Boogaloo**: Fight Club. Vava fights her son, and Primrose, on the roof while Tobias hangs around and watches/keeps everyone alive. That's it. That's the FPS.

**Oh My Stars, He's Stupid:** Winn Chimes recently made an appearance in Mersel's life, and Vava is highly suspicious of this wizard who's come out of the woodwork after her son was name dropped in the credits of a movie. So she's gonna have a friendly chat with this Mr. Chimes and see if he's really on the up and up. (Turns out, he is. He's just fuckign stupid.)

**Studio Heist**: It's come to Vava's attention that her old studio, Vulpine Studios, still has a couple Arcane Contracts to her name and likeness. And she can't have those still around. But they technically don't exist in the legal sense. So it's time for a heist! Charlie Black, Mersel, Primrose and Tobias join Vava in sneaking into the studio to steal these contracts!
