**Switcheroo** is the Stand of Smoke.

Switcheroo was created after Smoke's anomalous mutation/transformation, which also triggered her body to obtain an astral body through unknown phenomena.

Initially, the stand was autonomously acting on its own accord and preservation of either itself or Smoke. These acts had no malicious intentions by Switcheroo's logic, however, the same could not be said by her victims. As non stand users cannot see stands themselves, they rightfully assumed this was a cheating or hacking tactic from Smoke to gain unfair advantages to win fragging matches. Because of Smoke's lack of control and experience with Switcheroo, she was banned in several servers, and was seen forced to abandon fragging duty in order to avoid possible future arrest if she had persisted.

In scrapping duty, Smoke successfully learned to control Switcheroo and discovered her ability - attribute switching.

## Appearance

Switcheroo has strong resemblances to medieval era archers: her head is protected by a helmet with blue glowing eyes; her torso is covered by a Torcher's Tabard; the arms and legs are protected by Charred Chainmail; and a team colored Huntsman’s Essentials quiver rests on her back.

Her weapon of choice is a sophisticate and technologically advanced bow with glowing segments.

Switcheroo shares resemblances to an archer because it is Smoke’s personal desire to become an archer herself, as personal desires or aspirations can be a source of influence on a stand's physical appearance.

## Personality

Switcheroo seems to be a more self-aware stand with her own personality, as there are several occurrences in her debut that showcase this: Smoke having to call Switcheroo to bring her out of hiding; or when Smoke requires Switcheroo’s main ability and calls her attention by waving the sapper in front of her. Switcheroo is also more autonomous in the sense of certain kinds of actions, like when Smoke was speaking her mind about her reasons to join Heavy Guy and KIA's team: during Smoke's final words, when the latter mentioned that she would love to join their team, Switcheroo quickly appeared and wrapped her left arm around Smoke's shoulder, to signify that she also wants to join herself.

Switcheroo’s shooting posture seems more lively and stylish, showing the arrowhead resting on her thumb and pointing the index finger forward to “establish aim”.

She was also seen acknowledging other people like KIA and Heavy Guy by nodding her head, or face them to listen.

## Abilities

Switcheroo is a medium to long range archer with great damage, incredible accuracy and a versatile quiver should it be deemed as necessary by her stand user. The normal arrows fired from her bow inflict damage strong enough to dispose of light class Distorted with a single projectile, with force strong enough to pin the bodies into walls from a considerable distance.

Switcheroo’s main ability is taking a property/attribute off of most kinds of props and entities, and switch it with another target. This ability can be executed in two ways.

1. It can be done by physical contact with either Smoke or Switcheroo acting as the "bridge" between the items. Smoke is able to do this ability passively without Switcheroo’s presence;
2. Embedding the change into one of Switcheroo’s arrows and firing it towards the target of the *switch*. This second method does not require physical contact from Smoke or Switcheroo and works in long distances.

### Ability Demonstration (Example)

Smoke wants to switch the weight of a balloon (Target A) and a rock (Target B). There are two methods available that she can use:

1. If Target A and Target B are in close proximity, Switcheroo or Smoke can physical touch the targets and trigger the switch of the stand user’s choosing. Contact must be maintained during the *switch*, as either Smoke or Switcheroo must act as the "bridge" that will connect the two targets.
2. If the two targets are not in close proximity, Switcheroo can embed the change into an arrow, fire it at Target B – and upon contact with the latter, the *switch* will trigger.

## Trivia

* The bow Switcheroo uses is called Astral Assassin, created by *Saint Lombax;* *OverPowered;* *Derpy* *Hooves* and *ZoraKirby*;
* The beta version of Switcheroo was initially a passive ability allowing Smoke to morph their body into a masculine or feminine version, both with pros and cons: feminine would be faster, more agile but less physically strong and resistant to damage; while the masculine version would be physically stronger but slower with less agility.
