**Bosco** is a shadar-kai drag adventurer. She hails from Glamalala and in some continuities she is an ally of the queens of Booty and the Hofish.

## Herstory

Bosco was born and raised in the city of Glamalala on Fire Island. She used her impressive Drag Fighting skills to rise through the ranks of Gladitorial combat in the lower city. She dreamed of getting out of her service industry day job. Bosco always revered the Great Drag house of the Tuckernauts, as her family were masters of the duct tape tuck.

### Ranger Training

Eventually, Bosco was chosen to undergo Glamazon Ranger training alongside her fellow gladitorial fighter Irene Dubois. One night, after their final bout, the pair stayed out past curfew to celebrate. They stole some cloaks from the Glamaweave. They were almost caught breaking curfew by the Rangers, but two of the seniors instead took them to a secret club where they met Butch Queen legend Liz. Before heading home, they were nearly caught again messing with glama birds.

The next day she was paired up with Irene on an introductory mission to take a musk otter to a suitable habitat. While on the mission, the friends found evidence of poaching. They eventually found the poacher's hideout, and beat them when the poachers returned, freeing Junior Ranger Jort who had been captured.

Bosco and Irene disagreed on what to do with the prisoners until they encountered Inquirers Rigo and Ellen. Rigo suggested they escort the poachers to Cliffhanger Crest's Ranger station, and not to take them to Glamalala where it might cause political turmoil. Bosco agreed and convinced Irene.

On the trek, Bosco got to know one of the poachers, Komodo with the Bright Eyes, and his people's plight. When they arrived safely at the Ranger Station, Bosco sided with Reclusive Ranger Melissa for her to release the prisoners secretly. This decision created tension between Bosco and Irene.

Returning to the city she moved into the dorms and met her roommate, Lewis Anne Carol, a tabaxi bard, who she instantly bonded with. Bosco threw herself into her studies, while Irene struggled. On their first mission together, delivering supplies to a fisherman, Bosco wished to go above and beyond and locate missing supplies, while Irene did not. Bosco ultimately found the items after fending off a giant octopus.

As Irene's paranoia over their adventure with the poachers grew, Bosco grew more and more distant to her friend, worried that Irene would trigger further issues, including possible war, if the secret got out. When Irene was given one last chance to remain a ranger, Bosco agreed to the proposal of a trial by combat to test Irene. The fight ended in a draw. Bosco convinced Resplendent Ranger Ryan to allow her to become a ranger, while Rigo offered Irene a chance to become an Inquirer. The two parted, their friendship over.

### Alternate Continuity

Another version of Bosco was hired to perform in Gnomenguarde with Arson Nicki and Fraya Love. On the way they learned the city was under attack by a monster. She was happy to be rehired to defend the town.

Bosco seemed to dislike spiders. She was little uncomfortable around Arson's drider legs, but was more grossed out when they encountered a giant robotic spider sentry. Due to exposure to wild magic, she spent much of her adventure being unable to speak without producing pink bubbles.

When attacked by mimic, she called upon her deity, the Raven Queen, to get her out of trouble by teleporting her a few feet away.

For successfully helping save the kingdom and its Kings, she was offered a commissioned invention from the gnomes. She asked for a portable stage trap door.
