Broccoli

* Stylized
* Normal

**Broccoli** is a character created by La-Cocotua.

## Bio

Broccoli is a hamster who, despite her notorious lack of intelligence and naïveness, works very hard with a special affinity for housekeeping...which means she’s hired mostly as a maid. Just like normal hamsters, Broccoli still retains a feral side to her, given that she stays true to her rodent instincts. Filling up her cheeks with vegetables and seeds, she’s also an avid lover of bugs, such as worms and crickets, and she’s no stranger to farming them either...for dinner. She also shows to have poor eyesight to the extent that she can’t recognize someone as living unless they are moving...may I remind you the show that she’s in.

Regarding her availability for different jobs, she can work on anything that doesn’t require a degree...but that doesn’t mean she can do it properly. She’s still clumsy and somewhat squeamish, qualities that often lead her to be deemed as a nuisance...and further emphasize her affinity with working as a maid. She does the laundry, cooks, attends the groceries and diligently cleans her boss’ room...yet somehow manages to screw up and get herself fired.

Aside from her hard work, she also showcases her liking for seeds, whether it’s eating them by the handful, or keeping packets of them on the bags of her clothes, always keeping them close in case she wants to grow them; she doesn’t discriminate the seeds either, carrying all sorts of varieties which include sesame, sunflowers, among others. Not only are seeds her favorite treat, but also her bizarre self-defense mechanism; in the instances that she’s threatened, she will not doubt on throwing a handful of seeds against their visage. A questionable defense for sure, but have you ever had your face (Or eyes) pelted by seed shrapnel?

...for some reason, she has seeming resilience against getting crushed or beaten up, given that she’ll stay alive...crying and with severe emotional injuries, but alive.

She is a sharp critic of pet shops, given that she deeply dislikes selling hamsters as pets... at insultingly low prices...on the other hand, she’s later found working for the owner of said pet shop.

Some other likings of hers include vegetables, picnics, nature and frogs.

## Personality

Broccoli is renowned for her naïveness, clumsiness and seeming lack of common sense when it comes to what’s going on around her.

She’s fairly squeamish, always talking in a monotone way...curiously referring to herself in the third person whenever she’s going to “complete today’s mission” as she would put it. She always puts her current boss above herself, a “selfless” act that includes her own health and well-being...as squishy as she is, she still retains her loyalty to protect and serve.

She does space out when it comes to education, manners and trying to be brave, but she’ll try to be strong for her friends...she’ll do her best.

She still retains several emotional wounds from all the times she’s been hit, bursting into tears once more after her boss hits her for cleaning the CDs with the green part of the sponge.

## Appearance

Her fur is colored light tones of peach, having orange spots on the right side of her head. She has rodent ears and curly fringes. Her hands and feet are pink and, unlike other adult Tree Friends, her eyes only include her pupils, akin to Cub’s. She has a small, pink tail.

### "Broccoli Salad" / Normal Outfit

She wears a long-sleeved, polka sweater colored mint green and an overalls dress featuring clover patterns and seeds scattered around. She also wears an aqua green bow with a hamster adornment on the neck, a handbag shaped like a sunflower and sandals.

## Relationship

## Deaths

Her deaths mostly happen at the ends of episodes as a running gag, but there’s always exceptions to the rule. Her deaths mostly involve being crushed, which due to her resilience end up being excruciatingly painful, or falling from great heights.

Her survival ratio is 40%.

## Trivia

* Her character concept is heavily inspired by *Ebichu the Housekeeping Hamster*. Another reference to this character involves her resilience to death under unknown circumstances.
* Like her namesake suggests, she likes eating broccoli, albeit she eats it mostly as her diet.
* Her favorite food includes celery, cheese and pancakes.
* Due to what she suffers on a daily basis, she seems to have developed a mild depression. Is it possible that she’s self-aware…?
* Her personality is inspired by Sayori from *Doki Doki Literature Club*.
* Due to her being literally showered in seeds, she has some sprouts on her fringes and handbag; however, the clover is there as an adornment rather than an actual sprout.
