Carla Dosa

**Carla Dosa** is a minor character who is mentioned several times throughout the games and the creator of Sado.

## Background

The first indication of Carla's existence is a Steam Review in Super Weasel Kid, stating "I can't believe my FRIEND Lionel made this game!!! He's the best <3". Even when Super Weasel Kid 2: Radical Road received negative reviews, she made another review stating "Don't listen to the haters, Lionel. You still have family and friends who care about you and love Radical Road!". However, when Super Weasel Kid '09: Super Redux released, she finally adds a negative review, adding "Lionel...What is this?".

Carla was in the process of getting a computer science degree when Lionel offered her a high-paying job in his game studio. After she was hired by Lionel to work on Combat Arena X, he states that "Carla's first order of business was to tell me that I had designed too many male characters." As a result, he made Chandrelle while she made Sado. Carla supposedly made Sado by "pushing Gameworks to its limits." After that, Lionel's games began to have glitches and bugs. Whether or not this was intentional is up for debate, but at this point Lionel's entitlement begins to grow.

Secrets of Legendaria only deepened the rift between Lionel and Carla. Notably, Lionel and Carla disagreed on the choice of protagonist for the game, with Carla's choice of Chandrelle winning in the end. Multiple comments from her are scattered throughout the game, mostly in out-of-bounds areas. When the game failed, Lionel blamed Carla, took the severance pay money, and left.

Wizzaro in Vicious Galaxy, when the correct conditions are met, contains a secret conversation between Lionel and Carla. This conversation likely takes place after the events mentioned above. This is the last time Carla is mentioned.

## Personality

While Carla never directly appears in the game, some characteristics can be determined by her notes left throughout the game and Lionel's commentary in Walk.

Carla and Lionel were childhood friends, close enough that she felt proud for Super Weasel Kid's success. She left positive reviews on his games, offering her support until he sold the franchise to GameFuna and the games became a buggy mess. Then, she left a negative review, the first indication of conflict in their relationship.

Their friendship continued until college, where Carla was in the process of getting a computer science degree when Lionel offered her a high-paying job in his game studio. This created a power difference in their relationship, where Lionel is now her boss rather than just a friend. Despite that, their relationship is cordial enough that he listens to her advice to add female characters in Combat Arena X. However, the constant demands from fans of Combat Arena X likely had a negative impact on Carla's health and their relationship both.

Secrets of Legendaria marks a sharp downturn in their relationship. Lionel grows resentful towards Carla, as he believes she is intentionally causing glitches and bugs in his games. Carla now views Lionel as her "asshole boss," all of her comments criticizing how he handled the development of the game. These notes paint a cynical and fed-up attitude, indicating resentment towards Lionel.

Carla's messages in the secret conversation are aggressive, culminating in her blocking him. Despite her hostility and distain, she puts the file he sent into Beneath the Surface, a fishing game she made. However, "sado.exe" is attached to the file, potentially making this a less-than-benevolent act.

## Trivia
