Popette

Popette is an Infernite Shoppie.

## Description

### Personality

Popette is thought to be the most rude, annoying, and wild Shoppie, and the people that think that are right. Popette is very crazy and likes to bother others for fun, often pranking Shoppies and even her own sisters. She makes fun of the Cragsters for their lack of intelligence. Popette isn't very caring and is nowhere near helpful, although she might help out others when they need it just to manipulate them.

### Physical Appearance

Popette has a fair complexion with pink lipstick and bright blue eyes. Her eyebrows are slightly darker than her platinum blonde hair, which is worn up in a very curled, puffy hair-do. Her bangs sweep to the right with a single curled strand by each ear. She wears a red headband with several pieces of popcorn, some of which has butter, a small blue bow, and a red and white bag of popcorn. Her outfit consists of a blue bodice with puffy sleeves reminiscent of a big piece of popcorn to match the lining around the bottom. At the center is a red bow. Her red and white striped tutu is lined with buttery popcorn, and she wears red shoes with a yellow heel and short matching socks. On the corner of each shoe is a blue bow.

## Abilities

### Origin

The back of her body has jet boosters that blast out fire, which can give her incredible speed, allowing her to move so fast, she can run up walls and seem like a blurr. She can also use these jet boosters to blast fire upon others, as she did this to re-light Jessicake's head.

Popette may also be quite durable, as she once survived getting bowled over by the Cragsters Max.

Due to being an Infernite, Popette has incredible heat resistance, being able to take a bath in lava with no negative effects or physical pain.

## Biography

### Early life

Little is known about Popette's early life. However, at some point, she managed to gain a love of pranking and secured a job as a mailman.

### First adventures

At a party, she managed to get kidnapped by the Shopkins, and had to be rescued to help rescue the other Shoppies. ("Calling All Shoppies")

She pranked Bubbleisha by spanking her with a towel and causing her to spin out. When she saw Peppa-Mint struggling to get a Coconapple from a tree, she suggested they Mix to get it. Even though Peppa-Mint was afraid and unwilling, she still did it, creating the Peppa-Mint & Popette Mix. She went out of control, knocking over the other Cragsters and causing an explosion in Jessicake's lava hot tub. As Peppa-Mint voiced her disdain towards her, the Coconapple fell out from the tree, knocking her out, and Popette ate it herself. ("Coconapple")

She was part of a fight for the last Cookironi and managed to retrieve it from Donatina, only to lose it to Rainbow Kate. She and the other Infernites Maxed to fight against the Cragsters Max and Electroids Max for it. In her dizziness, she accidentally landed on the Cookironi, breaking it. When everyone saw a Shopkin with a whole box to herself, they all gave chase. ("Cookironi")

She Maxed with Jessicake and Bubbleisha to help unclog the lava shower's pipes. ("Hot Lava Shower")

On one of her delivery routes, she had a Teddy Butterfly to deliver to Rainbow Kate, but purposely kept missing her. Eventually, she got bowled over by the Cragsters Max and gave it to her in the end. ("Mailman")

She intially refused to play Rockball, but later joined in, Mixing with Rainbow Kate to play in the newly-created game Shoppieball. ("Rockball")

She and her Infernite sisters came across a patch of Plowers and took one each, leaving one left. They decided to Max to share it. ("Infernites MAX!")

She was an attendant to Pippa Melon's birthday party, and managed to be the last one in the elevator, taunting Lippy Lulu for her misfortune. ("Elevator")

### Further adventures

She was an attendant at the annual Mix Festival, and managed to get Nixed by the Mega Shopkin Shoppie Nixer, though the effects were later reversed. ("Epic Comedy Adventure")

Popette was one of almost all of the Shoppies who searched and fought for the Mixamajig, and then captured by Crown Jules. She Maxed with her branch of the Infernites in order to defeat her, and Mixopolis was revealed by the Weldos soon after. ("A Quest for the Lost Mixamajig")

## Behind the Scenes

### Basis

Popette is based on popcorn. It is a variety of corn kernel, which expands and puffs up when heated. A popcorn kernel's strong hull contains the seed's hard, starchy endosperm with 14–20% moisture, which turns to steam as the kernel is heated. Pressure from the steam continues to build until the hull ruptures, allowing the kernel to forcefully expand from 20 to 50 times its original size—and finally, cool.
