Espeonage Pepsi

Espy is the second in charge of Le Vide Gang, as well the owner and operator of the Hell Salon. She has a side job as a vlogger. Currently, Espy is the temporary leader of the Le Vide Gang, since Hex is missing.

## Appearance

Espy is humanoid, with pale skin, golden-orange eyes and short pink hair. They typically wear light blue overalls over a yellow sweater, black converse, and a yellow headband with an oxeye daisy attached. Espy is a human, however she has distant blaze ancestry, which gives her yellow eyes, as well as an increased resistance to heat and fire and a tendency to sometimes shed blaze powder instead of dandruff. Espy's elytra are steampunk in nature.

## History

### Before the SMP

Espy grew up in a small village in a flower forest known as Lyre Village, the child of a librarian and a farmer. He had a younger brother. When he was around 10 years old, the village was over-run by a hoard of zombies from the nearby desert. Espy managed to escape by running into the nearby woods after watched his family become surrounded by zombies. He has never seen his parents or brother again.

For a while after that, Espy travelled around the world, learning to survive in the wilderness and picking up odd jobs when they could. Eventually, they made their way to Crow City, where they were taken in by the Le Vide Gang. They worked their way up the ranks, and when Hex took over the position of gang leader, they were named second-in-command.

##### Before Season 1

During the building of Altercation Station, Espy heard Ink's cries for help from the End, but, while confused, they didn't do anything about it.

Espy organized the "Club Fair" or Festival, building the main plaza in Crow City. They hoped to use the festival as a way to bolster the gang's numbers. Espy also joined in the End Initiative, helping gather lots of food by building their massive wheat farm behind their house.

During this time, they were also working on building their Hell Salon, a nether-themed Salon that sold "bad" shampoo in both external and internal forms. After getting some Old Spice stolen from the Salon, they trained with Hex in the Altercation Station to try and learn how to stand up to aggressive customers.

During the End Initiative, Espy fought the Ender Dragon with the rest of the group. They were part of the group that brought Ink back to Crow City.

After the End Initiative, Espy opened the Hell Salon. During the opening, she banned Heaven for repeatedly murdering customers.

##### Season 1

Espy was the photographer for the Boneless Trio's wedding.

After The Labyrinthine killed Guide, Blobbi and Snupps, Espy tried to fight the Labyrinthine, but wasn't successful. She had to take some time before returning the city, which felt so empty without Hex there. While grieving for Hex, Hunted began to spread propoganda. Espy dueled Hunted in the Altercation Station, with the condition that if she won, he would stop, but she lost.

Espy went with the group to rescue Snupps and Blobbi from the Labyrinthine's graveyard. They were horrified and amazed by what they saw. After leaving, Espy and Majora talked, and agreed to go get revenge on the Labyrinthine later, after Snupps and Blobbi had recovered.

Hex still didn't return, and Hunted's influence considered to spread. After Buzz left Crow City, Espy began to visit Hellvetica, not willing to let go of their friend, but unwilling to leave Crow City behind.

## Personality

Espy is a rather kind individual, who, while they're used to doing whatever they need to in order to survive, doesn't particularly like conflict. They aren't very assertive, and have trouble standing up for themself. Espy is also very loyal, especially to Hex and the Le Vide Gang. They're also deeply attached to Crow City - it's their home after not having one for so longer, and they're not leaving it.

## Relationships

### Hex

Espy sees Hex as an adopted sibling. Espy is very deeply loyal to Hex because of this. She looks up to Hex, and they represent stability for her.

### Snuppet

Espy doesn't always see eye to eye with Snuppet, but overall she trusts them a great deal, and considers them a really close friend. She especially appreciates the gifts they give her.

### Buzz

Because of Buzz's status as Hex's child, Espy sees himself as a sort of "aunt" figure to Buzz. Espy has seen Buzz's reaction to losing Hex first hand, and he's very protective of them. He doesn't want Buzz to lose their family completely the way they did, and he wants to be there for them as much as he can. However, Espy won't join Hellvetica because they can't abandon their city.

### Hunted

Espy once saw Hunted as a friend, but now they see him as a threat. Espy doesn't like how Hunted is going to restrict the freedom of Crow City but they also feel powerless to stop him. They especially hate how he's made the city unwelcoming to some of their friends, most notably Buzz, who was driven away from Crow City by Hunted's changes to it.

### Heaven

While Espy finds Heaven annoying at times (NOT ERA ERA IS GREAT), Espy sees them as a little sibling in a way. He thinks they're very funny, even if sometimes their pranks can get.... out of hand.

### The Labyrinthine

Espy hates the Labyrinthine, calling them "Moss Fiend" for killing their friends, especially Hex. They want revenge desperately.
