Thing (Jack)

Sweetheart (Nolan)

Cute Little Girl (Nolan)

Little Girl (Felix)

Kid (Claire)

**Connie Dali** is a mischievous young girl who first appears in Last Stop - Part 1 and Last Stop - Part 2. While she initially appears to be sweet and innocent, she's quickly revealed to be nothing more than a con artist. Connie's favorite con is pretending to be a lost child and then asking her victims for money to get back home.

Connie seems to be much smarter than most girls her age, making multiple references to engaging in cons even more elaborate and dangerous than her typical lost kid routine.

## Physical Appearance & Design

Connie is a short, young child with dark skin and hair. She wears yellow rain boots, a red skirt, and blue t-shirt with a green cat graphic. She always wears her hair in pigtails, covered by a red baseball cap. When the cap is turned frontwards, Connie is putting on her sweet kid act. When she turns it around, she reveals her true self. Connie always carries a cat-shaped backpack with her in varying styles and colors.

## Personality

When running a con, Connie acts sweet and innocent like a normal 12-year-old girl. She's able to fake cry on a whim and uses this to prey on the sympathy of others. In reality, Connie is extremely smart, conniving, and sassy. While not particularly dangerous, she's not above putting someone in a headlock to get away with one of her schemes.

Even when she's being her true self, Connie has shown that there are some normal 12-year-old qualities to her. She's an avid Citrus fan and shows genuine excitement when talking about her idol.

## History

### Before the start of the series

It's heavily implied that Connie had been watching Nolan Vice for quite some time before she eventually met him during the events of Last Stop - Part 1. Jack Barter deduces that Connie likely knew Nolan both frequented a certain bus route and had a young daughter, and would thus be more susceptible to her lost kid routine.

### Last Stop - Part 1

Some time in 2020, Connie boarded a bus headed to Unity Park with the intention of pulling a scam. She planned to pose as a lost child who needed money to get back home. When she saw Nolan enter the bus, she put her plan into action. When pressed on her story by Jack, Connie retalities and shows her true self when he questions how she got on the bus in the first place if she has no money. She attacks Jack and holds him in a headlock, among other wrestling moves. Once Nolan realizes his wallet has been stolen, Connie offers to help to which Jack shuts her down and claims that if she finds the wallet first, she'll just keep it.

Once Jack begins interrogating suspects, Connie realizes that her fellow passenger, Eddie Hemm, is wearing a Citrus bracelet and reacts with excitement over finding a fellow fan. She points out that Citrus was rumored to be looking at apartments near the park that day. When Claire Lee attempts to reprimand Jack for using profanity in front of Connie, Connie retorts with profanity herself.

### Last Stop - Part 2

**This section contains spoilers**

As Jack begins to reveal what happened, Connie remains on the bus listening to music (presumably a Citrus album) using Eddie's headphones. Eventually, when it's revealed that Patrick Riarque stole the wallet to help pay for his son's cancer treatment, Connie joins in with the rest of the passengers who offer support. She mentions she may be able to con the hospital to get his medical bills reduced.

Once the passengers get off the bus, Connie joins Eddie in a search to see if they can spot a glimpse of Citrus near the park.

## Skills

Connie is a master con artist. She's incredibly skilled at manipulating others and is able to change her entire personality on a whim to make sure her cons work. While she usually sticks to basic cons like pretending to be a lost child, she has made reference to more advanced schemes such as conning a hospital to get reduced medical bills.

As shown in Last Stop - Part 1, Connie has some level of experience with wrestling. While fighting Jack, she displayed several moves that are typically used in professional wrestling.

## Relationships

### Eddie Hemm

After the events of Last Stop - Part 1 and Last Stop - Part 2, Connie and Eddie formed a friendship over their mutual love for Citrus. Eddie acts as sort of a big brother figure to Connie, taking her to concerts and buying her merch.

## Name Origin

Connie's name is a play on "con artist". Her first name, when shortened, spells "con" and her last name, Dali, is a reference to famous artist Salvador Dali. Her last name is also a play on "dolly", a reference to her sweet little girl persona.
