## History

### Prologue

Aunt Arctic is one of the first penguins to appear in the Prologue, finding Agent and Rookie in the Ski Village. She takes them back to the Coffee Shop to everyone else, where she makes Rookie a cup of coffee while everyone introduces each other. Aunt Arctic introduces herself as the Ultimate Reporter, to which Rookie asks her why his jokes are never selected to appear in the Club Penguin Times. She goes to the Snow Forts with the others where she meets Monobert for the first time. After he explains the rules of the killing game, Aunt Arctic confidently tells Monobert that none of the penguins are going to play his game.

### Chapter 1

After Monobert tells the others that there is a traitor working for him among the penguins, Aunt Arctic quickly shuts him down, and claims he is lying. She then suggests the penguins split into groups of three and investigate the island for ways to escape. Aunt Arctic travels with Gary and Rockhopper, where they find forcefields surrounding the entire perimeter of the island. Afterward, she has dinner with the others at the Pizza Parlor, taking a group photo of everyone together.

The next day, Aunt Arctic makes pancakes for the others at the Coffee Shop. However, she is soon accused of being the traitor by Franky. The accusations continue for several of the other penguins, which causes most of them to storm out of the Coffee Shop angrily. Aunt Arctic stays back with Agent, telling them how upset it makes her to see everyone drift apart. She leaves the shop to go to her igloo after Agent offers to clean up the pancakes for her.

Sometime that night, Aunt Arctic headed to the Sport Shop wearing her Director's uniform, likely to reason with Monobert to get more information about the killing game and to save the others. Her Director's uniform gives her a shadowy appearance, which alerted Sensei, who was meditating nearby. Suspicious that she is the traitor, Sensei kills Aunt Arctic by whacking her in the head with his walking stick. In her final moments, Aunt Arctic does not appear angered at Sensei. Rather, she is focused on maintaining her secret identity, and asks him to move her body to her igloo, and dispose of her uniform in the fireplace. The next morning, Agent and Rookie discover Aunt Arctic's body in her igloo.

### Chapter 5

Aunt Arctic finally appears again in Chapter 5, in the form of an artificial intelligence in the Command Coach training simulator. She appears only in Mission 16, where she asks for assistance in locating her two missing puffles. Agent, Shadow Guy, and Gamma Gal, have trouble interacting with the A.I. of Aunt Arctic after experiencing her death. They are briefly able to overcome the awkwardness and continue with the mission, however upon completing it, Agent tells the A.I. of Aunt Arctic that they miss her a lot, which she is unable to comprehend.
