Dikaru

**Dikaru** is a supporting antagonist in *The Punkettes*. She is an incredibly sadistic alien who specializes in interrogations, torture, and keeping Pepper's prisoners in check, as well as Hikama's lieutenant and second-in-command.

She is a mid-ranking soldier in Pepper's army, with higher intelligence and power, above the unnamed soldiers in Pepper's ranks, but lower than Boss Demon, Topaz, and Hikama.

## Personality

Dikaru is best described as a psychopathic, uncaring, and destructive woman. Similar to Hikama, she enjoys bullying weaker beings and finds amusement in butchering entire cities right down to the men, women, and children. Dikaru seems to particularly hate children, calling them "brats" and making them her primary targets for enslavement, as well as referring to them as "foolish things".

She mocks Clumsy's efforts to avoid harming the children, seeing his unwillingness to harm them as weak by calling him a "weak fool". Furthermore, she derives pleasure from torturing and starving Pepper's prisoners, as well as enjoyment from electrocuting Marinette. Dikaru enjoys going into great detail on how she plans to kill her targets.

She is arguably even more overtly sadistic than Pepper is, as Pepper can at least feign an affable nature to her enemies underneath her sadism, whereas Dikaru doesn't even bother. She is not even truly loyal to Pepper despite being forced to obey her and is actively looking for ways to get out of obeying her and torturing any prisoner she wants. This has led to Pepper having an underlying hatred of Dikaru.

Dikaru's sole redeeming quality is that she seems to have some true loyalty and friendship with Hikama. The two joke around with each other a lot and seem to enjoy each others' company. Dikaru also saved Hikam from being killed, when she easily could have fled the scene and left her to die.

## Trivia

* It's very subtle, but it seems that despite being Pepper's best torturer, Pepper seems to disapprove of, if not outright hate Dikaru. This can be seen in after Dikaru finishes beating Junko with a giant mallet and salutes Pepper, Pepper gives her a somewhat disapproving glance. This further implies that Dikaru is not fully loyal to Pepper and Pepper seems to be aware of it. If that's the case, it's plausible that Dikaru knew Junko was going to escape Hell, but just didn't care enough to stick around or warn Pepper.
* Due to her mechanically modified state, her voice is done with auto-tune.
