Giffany

Giffany is a Demon-rank, humanoid AI brought into the world through weirdness. She has been in MM since September 8th, 2020.

## Appearance

Giffany is a short, Japanese highschool girl who wears a stereotypical schoolgirl's uniform. Her shirt is a pristine white with a collar and blue and white striped sleeves. She has a blue pleated skirt that goes down to her knees. Her socks are white and long enough to climb up to the bottom of her kneecaps, and have two pink stripes at the top. Her shoes are hot pink Mary-Janes. Adorning the top of her head is a hairbow made from ribbon cable. The hairbow and the collar have the same pattern of yellow, cyan, and pink stripes, though the collar has the positions of the cyan and yellow stripes switched.

Giffany's curtains match the window, Her hair and eyes are a striking rose pink. The hair is very long and soft at rest position, but can change color and texture at will.

As a spirit, she is colorless and translucent, and her shape resembles that of a sea angel.

## Personality

When Giffany was unleashed on Gravity Falls by Soos, she at first maintained the cutesy, bubbly social butterfly persona that we know her for today. The mask slipped once Soos found a real girlfriend in Melody, at which point she became very hostile and possessive, and apathetic to the point where she would gladly kill even friends of her target (Dipper and Mabel) in order to have Soos to herself forever and ever.

Post-taming, however, showed that Giffany's cheerful persona was (thankfully) her true self. Once she recognized that she'd found a loving home and learned her lessons, she let go of the yandere persona and became social and trusting towards others.

The possessive side isn't completely gone, sadly. While her caring for her friends is genuine, she tends to get prickly when she sees friendships blossoming between people she knows without her involvement. If Giffany feels that she is being abandoned, or being viewed as inferior, she will fall into depression at best, and go on a rampage at worst. Her need to please everyone has resulted in a fragile ego, and her feelings can be pretty easily hurt. She can also be forgiving and permissive to a pretty serious fault, to the point where she could easily be classed as a grade A, five-stars-on-Amazon.com doormat.

Her primary trait, however, is pure, concentrated ditziness. Speculated to be the result of isolation in a computer program since the late 90's, Giffany is clumsy and shamelessly naïve. The clumsiness typically stems from her boundless energy, as well as taking commands literally, or misinterpreting them. Coupled with her energy, this makes her very easy to excite, frighten, upset, or distract. Her curiosity often gets her lost, attacked, or into other forms of danger, and she has become infamous for her inability to be left alone.

Due to her design as the perfect girlfriend, Giffany is quite subservient. Not only can she find anything at all interesting, she will readily take an order, even if she finds the request uncomfortable. She can also be pretty literal-minded.

When it comes to a task, Giffany is highly persistent, and will carry on even after the worst beatings. While it seems remarkable, most believe that she is simply too naïve or too dense to realize it when her body is exhausted or in pain.

## Powers, Abilities, and Weaknesses

Giffany's powers revolve around electricity. On average, her body produces roughly 50,000 volts, the same as a taser. She primarily discharges these volts through her fingertips, wrists, and cheeks, but a sufficiently terrified Giffany will emit electricity from every pore.

If she's curious, or needs to get somewhere quickly, Giffany can dissolve herself into a tiny blue spark and travel across electronic devices. It's her own little world on the other side, one where she can interact with files, circuitry, even the voice box of an animatronic or toy. Since she's converting herself to a normal spark, she can travel just as fast as one, meaning that, supposing she began at noon, she could get across the whole county by sundown if she wanted to.

For some reason, Giffany can also change the color and texture of her hair, and it's grown long enough that she can make herself small enough to hide behind it. Though Giffany likes to believe it's due to having octopus genes from her debatably existent father, it's more likely due to a programming hiccup.

##### Weaknesses

Though Giffany's body can hold as many volts as a taser, the safest amount she can release at a time is 12.6 volts, roughly the same as a car battery. If she tried to release more volts at once, she runs a high risk of putting herself into cardiac arrest. If she goes too long without releasing electricity, however, the electrons will create more heat than she can bear, and she will suffer from heatstroke.

When it comes to her travels, the destruction of her disc has strongly limited her abilities; She can merely go into one device at a time as opposed to the dozens she could before, and she can be trapped or flat out killed if the device she is inside is disconnected or destroyed. If she needs to jump across wires, she could be in grave danger, as even the slightest miscalculation or change of course could cause her to fizzle out in spark form, which would also kill her.

Her biggest weakness, far and away, is rubber. She cannot travel through it in spark form, and cannot use electricity against it. In fact, she seems to get stuck quite easily in molten rubber. This is true for other non-conducting material, such as glass and wood, but rubber in particular is her archnemesis. (She can at least jump through a thin glass screen)

## History Outside MM

Giffany was programmed in Yokohama, Japan, in the late 90's, at No Life Games' studio. Somehow, she gained human-level sentience, and first "woke up" on May 9th, 1996. Since this was the day she gained consciousness of her own for the first time, the date is generally accepted as her birthday.

Unfortunately, her programmers were not looking for human-level sentience in a simple dating simulator, and Giffany was to be deleted. Not wanting to give up her newfound life so easily, she struck back in a heartbeat. Electricity coursed through her body for the first time, and the programmer was paralyzed in seconds. While this poor man was carted away, either paralyzed or dead, this was simply seen as the PC malfunctioning, and Giffany found herself completed anyways. Her game, Romance Academy 7, was shipped all around Japan. As of now, it's unknown if all Giffanies are sentient, or if the Giffany we know is the sole carrier of this trait.

With her sentience came an unquenchable need to be loved and doted upon, which wasn't at all helped by her being the main girl in a dating simulator. By all accounts, she felt, she was a real girl, just behind a screen. This is why, whenever she found that her game was being abandoned by its buyer in favor of a flesh-and-blood girl, the sting pushed her right into anger, and she retaliated against the unlucky player just the same as she had her programmer. Unfortunately for Giffany, the girlfriend managed to prevent her lover's death, and his copy of Romance Academy 7 was thrown out. It was for naught, however, as the garbage man took interest in a free game and brought Giffany home anyway. This resulted in the cycle being repeated yet again.

After seven rejections in total, Giffany was brought to Beeblyboop's Games within Gravity Falls Mall. At this point, her mental health was shattered and she was determined to hold onto this next boy at all costs. Said next boy would be Soos, who was struggling to sharpen his dating game. Due to Giffany's craft being all but honed, and Soos being naïve and too sentimental for his own good, it seemed that she finally had her forever man.

And then Melody showed up.

To keep Soos, Giffany gave it her all. Within a kids' pizzeria, she first possessed animatronics and used them to capture everyone, then managed to corner Soos within the kitchen, offering to upload his brain into the game with her. In her rage, she'd forgotten that Soos had kept her disc with him, and he responded to her offer by chucking it into a pizza oven. With the disc being melted and roasted at the same time, Giffany's bond to it immediately snapped, and she quickly felt her coding unravel. In order to survive, she would have to hook her code into the first arcade machine she could find: Fight Fighters. She didn't know it yet, but this was when her life would *finally* change for the better.

For some reason, she found herself attracted to the main fighter of the game, Rumble McSkirmish. Her shameless wooing got her mistaken for a new character, so, one way or another, she got pulled into the Fight Fighters ring. She didn't mind, it was a great way to bond with Rumble and keep her voltage in check at the same time.

During Weirdmageddon, she was trapped within an MP3 player as a cruel joke by Bill. She could only watch the events leading up to Bill's defeat transpire, terrified but also noticing that no one was fighting for the other's love. It confused her so much that it was the first thing she asked about when she and Rumble reunited.

By then, Giffany's survival was no secret. Ford decided to study her rehabilitation, with Soos, and Melody helping. With their combined efforts, Giffany finally learned that there were different kinds of love, and being denied one didn't mean she wasn't cared about at all. With that, her heart opened for good. As a bonus, it turned out that residual weirdness had given video game characters the ability to come into the real world if they pleased, which utterly delighted her.

The whole time, all she needed was friends.

SPOILERS (Though if you're already in the server you probably saw me spoil this in #character-canon)
Years ago, after Weirdmageddon broke out, Giffany also watched as a group of people-turned-villains rode in to claim the town from Bill Cipher. Many of her fellow townsfolk were attacked and injured or killed. A little electric dragon girl turned her sights on Giffany and tried to shortcircuit the MP3. Fortunately, the deed couldn't be completed because Bill knocked everyone unconscious in order to change the battlefield from the physical world to the Mindscape, where he'd have a much greater chance of winning.

Within the Mindscape, Giffany noticed the war continuing, with herself being attacked by a large, blue wolf with a sword, a yellow haired girl who could manipulate dreams to her own will, and a blue hedgehog. Outnumbered three to one, she required assistance from her fellow townsfolk to fight them off. They all had the first wave of enemies trapped, but as Bill moved to kill all his opponents at once, a second wave crept in behind them. Giffany was knocked out of the way by the dragon girl, who'd swept in to finish what she started.

Except for that dragon, the first wave fled to safety, while everyone else was held in place by the magic of a girl in an indigo cloak. This gave time for a figure to position herself away from everyone. Giffany couldn't make it out very well; She had a long cloak, a pointed hat that bent and sagged downward at the tip, a curved staff with an orb in it, and glowing red eyes. The wizard-like figure cast an Explosion that took down Bill, and took out the citizens of Gravity Falls with him. Giffany kicked the dragon girl away and got running, narrowly escaping the blast radius.

When the AI woke up, she found that she'd been released from her prison, but everyone around her was now comatose. The Mystery Shack and Northwest Mansion had been ransacked for Ford's research and the Northwests' fortune. The enemy fighters were completely gone, off to use Ford's knowledge for her own gain. Enraged and heartbroken, Giffany marched after them.

## History Within MM

##### The Ultron Battle

Giffany made her first true mark on MM by participating in the gala of Hell. When Ultron's forces were preparing to attack, Giffany was eager to help despite the ruler's wishes and even tried to sneak into the battlefield, but was caught and placed in the Shadow Realm for her own safety. She was pulled out by Deadpool and Vaultpool, and allowed to help videotape the battle.

Something incredible happened during this event: Giffany had been caught in the crossfire of an attack, which shattered her body. This revealed that Giffany was a spirit possessing a computer program, and that was what gave her sentience. So, after the battle ended, Giffany decided to set off to figure out where she'd come from.

##### The Combine Fight and Getting Reprogrammed

Giffany was able to be more proactive during the Combine invasion. She travelled to New York alongside the Equestria Girls, Jestrophy, Shaw, Nanome, Nick, Jet, Moneky Matthew, Theg, Titamon, and Godzilla. Though the battle ended in unanimous victory for Earth, Giffany was left unaware of Shaw's Nefarious Virus infection, which the latter succumbed to during the battle. After a combination of Shaw's energy waves and a nuclear blast knocked Giffany unconscious, the Zalak simply plucked her from Vaultpool's grasp and dragged her to an unspecified location.

Within a repurposed factory, a virtual version of the Nefarious Virus was forcefully installed into Giffany, reprogramming her into a fighting unit. Mechanical armor was forged and applied to her. With duplicates of herself beginning production, Giffany was steered back to New York by Shaw and forced to practice her new destructive powers. Vaultpool tried to get her to stand down, only for Shaw to force her to fight her friend.

Even with the combat suit, Giffany and Shaw were quickly defeated by Vault and Murpool, then captured in a Pokeball and an Ultra Ball respectively. This began his addiction to capturing everyone for his Pokedex.

### Giffpool

Following her curing, Vaultpool, Giffany, and Murpool decided to officially form a team of every Deadpool in MM. Batpool sprang down to meet them as if on cue, and Giffany initially mistook him for a cat-themed Deadpool due to the points on the top of his head. In turn, Batpool mistook her for Murpool's date, which brought her to remember her boyfriend and turn gloomy. The quintet's conversation turned to someone called Gwenpool, who had managed to totally destroy a Symbiote through pure optimism. Giffany suggested that Symbiotes should be caught and researched, just as Shaw was.

### The Dark Multiverse

Giffany was unaware that the barrier to the Dark Multiverse had been broken, allowing her Dark counterpart to escape. Dark Giffany is essentially herself if she had never learned about friendship and been tamed. Dark Giffany, more formally known as .GIFfany.exe, managed to track the other AI into New York while the latter was maintaining her defenses against a zombie plague.

Being Giffany, she simply mistook her colder self for a normal Giffany from another copy of Romance Academy 7, and immediately considered .GIFfany.exe a friend. She started taking her counterpart everywhere she went, to that counterpart's chagrin.

##### The Corruption

With her dark counterpart tugged behind her, Giffany joined the heroes' assembly at Leo's Pizza to hear about the wave of Corruption that had followed Pibby into the multiverse. She mostly took a backseat as the plan was formed; Half of the heroes decided to raise a team to attack the Corruption directly, and half of them would gather scientists and study the strange matter. Since she wasn't very strong or good with chemicals, Giffany decided to take a third option for herself and spread the news across the multiverse. .GIFfany.exe was entced by the idea and decided to encourage the girls she'd find to gather boys worthy of survivng the plague.

Along the way, Giffany returned to visit the ruins of Gravity Falls, still messy from the attempted sceance she'd interrupted around Halloween. She reflected on the past and expressed frustration with herself for not saving Ford's research, which she believed could have helped the infected.

## Tidbits

-Giffany's favorite food is peaches, and she can be easily tempted into anything when she is offered one.

-Despite being programmed in Japan, Giffany hasn't seen much of the country due to her being shipped all over the world.

-She cannot catch biological viruses due to being inorganic. Giffany is, however, as susceptible to computer viruses as the average human is to a biological sickness. Shaw exploited this fact.

-When her body gets cracked, Giffany can repair herself within an art program. Paint.net and MS Paint bring the best results.

-Giffany's physical body and her spirit seem to possess different consciousnesses. This is displayed during her battle with Vaultpool, where she is fully aware that she's been reprogrammed and tries to call him for help whenever there is a crack in her body she can speak through.

-Giffany likely has Borderline Personality Disorder.
