Rorupu

**Rorupu** is a jerboa-like fairy played by Butterflyunicorn. She is the fairy of RPGs and comes from Arcadia, the kingdom of video games. She ends her sentences with **~roru!**

Rorupu can transform into a human, and uses the human alias **Tsukuru Roru**.

## Appearance

*(Please note that Rorupu's design is a work in progress. Don't be surprised if the details of her appearance get edited suddenly.)*

As **Rorupu**, she is a palm-sized fairy that resembles a long-eared jerboa. Her body is mostly a very pale shade of green, almost appearing white, but her stomach and the tip of her tail are pastel green. Her inner-ears are mostly pink, but she has pastel green heart symbols inside of them. She has pastel green pixelated markings on the corners of her eyes, a pastel green symbol resembling the directional pad of a gaming console on her head, and pink blushes on her cheeks. Her round, shiny eyes are a dark teal. She wears a long scarf held in place by a green pin shaped like an 8-bit heart.

As **Tsukuru Roru**, she has medium length, pastel green hair that is rather messy and wild, and is worn with several 8-bit hairclips which resembles swords, shields, crowns, and other things associated with RPGs. She usually wears a rather generic outfit consisting of a short sleeved pale green top and a pastel green jacket that is usually left open unless it's cold, although she may substitute the pale green top for a longer sleeved one or a gaming t-shirt. However, she always wears her scarf and 8-bit heart pin, which she retains in human form. She wears long white pants and dark brown Mary-Janes. Her eyes are dark teal, even in human form.

## Personality

Rorupu is a cheerful and fun loving, but rather childish fairy. She enjoys making and hanging out with friends more then nearly all else, but she's unfortunately terribly socially awkward and irrationally afraid of embarrassing herself. Despite this, she can't seem to keep her mouth shut, and often blabs information she'd rather keep secret by accident. This, combined with her poor understanding of human culture, means that most people with a basic knowledge of the supernatural will pretty quickly realize she's a fairy. She tends to make jokes, puns and quips of wildly varying quality, and loves seeing her friends laugh. She's also rather sensitive, and even light-hearted teasing can genuinely hurt her feelings.

As you would expect from a fairy from the kingdom of video games, Rorupu is a huge fan of video games, although somewhat surprisingly, while she best at playing RPGs, she doesn't have a particular preference for RPGs over other types of video games. Alongside playing video games, she also enjoys watching anime and reading fanfic. She considers her favorite games and anime very close to her heart, and this, combined with her sensitivity, sometimes causes her to be genuinely offended when people make fun of and/or harshly criticize her favorite media.

She's a huge fan of the legendary warriors Precure, but strangely doesn't seem to believe Precure are real, instead considering them to be mere legends. Imagine the surprise she'll be in for when she inevitably encounters a real Precure, in the flesh...

## Relations

**Queen Terebigemu**: Being the queen of Arcadia, Rorupu greatly respects her, however she's paranoid of angering her. That being said, she can't tell when Terebigemu is actually angry with her, since she thinks receiving the GamePlay is an honor even though Terebigemu obviously only gave her it out of annoyance.

**Goldberry**: Despite having only recently met her, Rorupu already seems to have a great deal of respect and trust for Goldberry, do to her having helped her when her ankle was injured, even to the point that she was willing to reveal her identity as a fairy to Goldberry just so she could help Goldberry return to Middle-earth.

**Amane Kasai**: Rorupu gained a great deal of respect for Amane after she helped her and Goldberry find the portal that led to Earth. While Rorupu was initially skeptical when Amane revealed she was a Precure, after transforming in front of her, her respect for Amane instantly increased and she immediately began fangirling over her. Notably, Rorupu addresses her as "Lady Amane" instead of "Miss Amane" like she does with most other people.

## Etymology

**Rorupu** comes from rorupurei, the Japanese transcription of the English word roleplay. Her name not only refers to her being the fairy of RPGs ("role-playing games"), but it's also meant to be a pun, as Butterflyunicorn specifically designed her character to be a simple character to use for roleplays before she begins using more thought out concepts.

Rorupu's human alias, **Tsukuru Roru**, is not a real Japanese name, do to both Rorupu's poor understanding of human culture and the fact that Butterflyunicorn was uncomfortable with using a real Japanese name, as Rorupu is based on herself in several aspects and Butterfly isn't Japanese. That being said, the etymology of it can still be analyzed.

**Tsukuru** is a reference to the RPG creation tool RPG Maker, known in Japan as RPG Tsukuru. The word "Tsukuru" in of itself is a portmanteau of "tsukuru", a Japanese word meaning "make" or "create", and "tsuru", the Japanese transcription of the English word "tool."

**Roru** is nothing more then a shortened version of Rorupu's real name.

## Abilities

Rorupu can transform into a human girl, although she turns back into a fairy when injured. That being said, as shown as AWTRP, Rorupu won't transform back into a human when she's only minorly injured, as shown when she scraped her knee and didn't change back. She can also fly, like most fairies.

During the events of *Part 177*, Rorupu received the GamePlay, a magical phone with the ability to call people, even if they are in another dimension. This seems to be the GamePlay's only supernatural quality, however.

## Trivia

* Rorupu is based on Butterflyunicorn in several aspects, and can be considered her "self insert." That being said, she is a bit more immature then Butterfly usually is.
* Rorupu was deliberately designed to be rather weak. This is because Butterflyunicorn really wanted to avoid her coming off as Mary Sue-ish, as self inserts are often thought of as being inherently Mary Sues.
* Rorupu's birthday is December 17th, making her a Sagittarius. Her birthday is the same day RPG Tsukuru Dante 98, the first version of RPG Maker, released. Notably, despite being based on Butterflyunicorn, they do not share a birthday; Butterfly's birthday is on September 24th.
* Rorupu's color palette was loosely inspired by the color palette of the Precure Roleplay Wiki itself.
* Rorupu's "image song", or at very least a song Butterflyunicorn associates with Rorupu, is Role-Playing Game.
* Rorupu was originally planned to be named "Ropurin", and her "sentence ender" was originally going to be "~ropu!" instead of "~roru!"
* Rorupu has a minor quirk in human form where she'll start ending her sentence with "~roru!" when she's surprised or excited. This is meant as a reference to KiraKira Precure A La Mode, where, at one point, Ciel gets so excited she says "~kira!" in human form.
* While in fairy form, Rorupu tends to circle around the heads of people she likes when she's excited. She also tends to smack herself in the face with her tail when she's embarrassed.
* The name of Arcadia, Rorupu's home kingdom, is a pun on Arcadia, the region in Greek mythology, and arcades.
* Rorupu often addresses people she likes by the respectful titles of "Miss" and "Mister". In turn, she calls people she deeply respects, such as her superiors or Precure, by the titles of "Lady" and "Sir."
* Rorupu tends to use more English words then other characters, like using "Miss" and "Lady" instead of "-san" and "-sama." This is for the same reason that Rorupu's human alias doesn't use a real Japanese name; Butterfly was uncomfortable making her use too many Japanese terms since Rorupu is based on herself and Butterfly isn't Japanese.
