**Bootsy** is a drag queen and monster fighter who appeared during the Minimum Rage series in the One Shot podcast. She is a Theater Queen and the talent booker at the Electric Flames drag bar.

## Herstory

In her past, Bootsy worked at a restaurant where she once waited on Kylie Minogue, who left a lock of her hair as a tip. Bootsy has kept it and it has served to be a powerful magical talisman for her.

Eventually she began to work at Electric Flames and became their main booking agent and moved into the loft in the pin reset machine room.

One evening, before the Miss Northwest Sparkplug Continental At-Large Plus Pageant (Flames Edition), she emerged from her room to a message from their House Mother and a book: The Dicronomicon which she needed the employees to protect. Immediately a hooded figure tried to get inside to retrieve the book, as it had been taken from him, he claimed.

After they sent him away, the employees learned their alcohol supply had been turned to sea water by the book's influence. Whiskey took the book to do research, and Bootsy remained behind to deal with set up for the pageant. She channeled her power through the locket of hair and charmed people on the street to help set up.

Back in her room, the Hooded Figure confronted Bootsy. He tried to entice her to give him the book in exchange for the power to make her dreams a reality. She fought him off with a spray of perfumed febreeze.

As the talent for the night began to arrive, Bootsy stepped into the bathroom where she found a burly sailor, possessed. She used her seductive powers to purify the young man and recruited him to be the stage kitten for the evening.

The roof began to leak so Bootsy took some new vinyl banners to the roof to patch it and found the Hooded Man causing a localized rainstorm. He again tried to tempt her with visions of her desires: to either become a singer/songwriter or to own property where she could run an orphaned cat rescue. Once again she used her febreeze and dance moves to fight him off and added some of her febreeze to the building's sprinker system just in time for it to go off due to a fire in the bar. The chemicals helped purify the sailors attacking her colleagues.

The forces of toxic masculinity vanquished, the staff ran the pageant without a hitch. Afterwards, Bootsy prepared the former sailor and stage kitten, done up in drag by Bunny, for a new life working at the bar. She named him Angie New, and hired him as barback.

## Behind the Queens

Bootsy is the third alternate character created by Butylene O'Kipple, and the first one to appear in multiple episodes, although not in the main feed of Queens of Adventure.

In a sense, Bootsy did get one of her desires fulfilled. One could say she adopted the stage kitten sailor as her drag daughter.
