Cammy DeCroix

Cammy (left) meets Robynne.

**Cammy DeCroix** is a major antagonist in *Magical Girl Policy*. She also appears in the "Cheer Itself" vignette. She is a junior at SAU and captain of the SAU Cheerleading Team. She abuses the team's unusual ties to campus clubs and the Student Association in order to wield disproportionate power over the school. The Spirit Guard fear she may be reincarnated from the Empress, which would make her a threat to Earth, and thus seek to figure out and end her schemes.

## Appearance

Cammy is about 5'8'', has a very curvaceous figure, and sports long toned legs. She has long, curly hair in a purple color called violette. Her eyes almost always display an unshakable confidence, with her expression only breaking on the extremely rare occasion someone actively challenges her. Cammy's eyes are described as blue in Chapter 6, but were retroactively changed to purple in Chapter 28. She speaks with a smooth, husky tone. Those who meet Cammy typically describe her as the most beautiful girl they've ever seen. She is usually seen wearing the cheerleader uniform and purple nail polish.

## Personality

Having grown up spoiled by her rich father and possessing an aura that helps her bend people to her will, Cammy is selfish and manipulative. This has given her a rather twisted view of what friendship entails; those who are nominally Cammy's friends are more like lackeys in practice. She often presents herself as friendly and somewhat shallow, but will prey upon others' insecurities and trick them into thinking they are being paid a favor rather than doing what she wants. Those more familiar with her are well aware that she is also shrewd and ruthless, which deters many from arguing against or otherwise angering her. According to Angela, Cammy believes it is normal to have manipulation and secrecy at the center of relationships, and those who claim otherwise are simply unskilled at using people. Cammy also prefers meeting with others in person, apparently because she has more success getting what she wants that way. Her aura affecting those near her is the probable cause of this, but since only the Spirit Guard appear to know of auras' existence, Cammy and others likely assume she is simply more adept in face-to-face situations.

Cammy is proud and vain, admitting that she weaponizes her good looks to get what she desires. She rates the appearance of everyone she meets on a ten-point hotness scale with herself at the top, and she judges others' usefulness to her based on their placement. In addition to attractive people, rich or well-connected people are also deemed useful by Cammy. She views herself as above dealing with those she deems useless, delegating such tasks to her subordinates. Cammy is said to rarely appear in class herself and often have multiple boyfriends at once.

Cammy is a control freak, seeing anything not at her beck and call or under her heel as a liability. Her desire for control is what drove her to overhaul SAU's cheer team, making all of the organizations on campus reliant on its promotion in order to stay relevant for Student Association voting. For those she can't convince with words alone, Cammy will dip into her father's fortune and the cheer team's funds to either bribe or crush them. Cammy so rarely meets active resistance that when it does happen, her casual facade slips and she has to adjust her plans.

## Abilities

Cammy has an extremely powerful aura that gives her a commanding presence. Those affected find themselves in either awe or fear of Cammy and show unusual concern for her needs and opinions, which allows her to more easily manipulate them. The aura normally affects everyone near her, but it will unconsciously push down on an individual if she is particularly focused on them, allowing it to reach all but those who possess very high empathokinetic resistance. Those who have been in contact with the aura may experience a lesser but lingering version of its effects, causing a greater than normal portion of their mind to focus on Cammy when she is not present (i.e. they find her more memorable or otherwise think of her more often than usual). A strong empathokinetic perception conveys this phenomenon as part of the person's being having an unusual charge and "pointing" at Cammy like a compass. Robynne's keen EKP can follow the affected portion of her own aura to track Cammy's relative position from a distance. Robynne's observations with her EKP has her conclude that Cammy is unaware of the aura and its effects. The aura is purple with gold edges and possesses a stickiness and intoxicating taste that are likened to wine. Since no one outside the Spirit Guard is known to have knowledge of auras or the ability to sense one, most people believe that Cammy is simply extraordinarily charismatic and lucky.

## Biography

### Background

Cammy DeCroix was born into an incredibly wealthy family, with her father spoiling her by giving her effectively free access to the family fortune. Cammy began to attend Schuyler Adamson University and joined its cheerleading team. Though she was a freshman, Cammy had power over the current cheer captain, and managed to convince the Student Association to reorganize the structure of campus organizations: the cheer team was split into the Promotion Squad and Pep Squad, with the former being the sole official promotion arm of clubs and thus receiving a cut of their dues.

Cammy became captain of the cheer team her sophomore year, abusing the Promotion Squad's power to limit growth to only clubs the captain could control. One club she feared was the rapidly growing nerd club SFEERS, so she sent two cheerleaders to its opening social. She had expected the nerd officers to easily accept Rita and Fiona, who shared no interests with the club yet were very attractive, and thus have their SAUSA votes susceptible to her influence, but the infiltration attempt failed. In response, Cammy begins consistently blocking SFEERS from receiving promotion in order to limit its growth.

Cammy became close to freshman cheerleader Angela Warrant, with Angela quickly becoming the captain's go-to promoter. Angela was enthralled by Cammy's distinctive aura and assumed it was a mark of a future Spirit Guard. Angela, normally a strict rule follower, was eventually convinced to start skipping schoolwork in favor of promotion duties, as Cammy could call in favors to have assignments done for her.

In a blog post, Taralynn Andrews shows art depicting Cammy, Tanya, and Angela at a Halloween party and describes the circumstances behind it. Cammy and Tanya are dressed as Spirit Guards Valor and Tenacity, respectively, while Angela has run late from promotion duty and is unable to change out of her cheerleader uniform. Angela is shocked at the provocative interpretations of the Spirit Guard costumes as well as the pair's attempt to have her drink alcohol with them.

Angela was later told by her friend Mallory Drake that Cammy has been a bad influence on her. Angela discovered Cammy's scheme of controlling Student Association votes and confronted her about it. Cammy later revealed to university staff that Angela had papers written by her tutors, and made sure to remotely delete the evidence on the phone she had gifted Angela in order to cover her tracks. Angela lost her place on the team, her scholarship, and all of her friends except Mallory. Cammy, in order to shut out Angela's social life and halt further snooping, spread rumors of Angela's papers being written in return for sexual favors and warned the cheer team about her.

Angela had visions of the Princess and Empress and wondered if Cammy is reincarnated from the latter due to the two's interactions resembling those of Angela and Cammy. Keeping this to herself, Angela continues to quietly look into Cammy's schemes. Shortly after Mallory, Vivian, and Kara joined the Spirit Guard, Angela would take each of them to covertly observe Cammy's aura, but unlike Angela, none of them could detect anything unusual about it. Cammy suspects that Angela is still trying to get in her way and keeps the team on high alert.

"Cheer Itself" depicts the following summer's cheer team tryouts. One candidate, Stacy Ambrose, had from the start caught on to Cammy possessing unusual authority for the team captain and worked hard to stand out to her with her excellent teamwork. Once tryouts conclude, Stacy is called to a gym in the morning to see who made the team. Stacy is devastated to find she is not on the list, and Cammy finds her crying in the bathroom. Cammy tells her the list was made in error, and predicts she'll be the team's best promoter. It is heavily implied that the morning's events were a setup by Cammy to make Stacy emotionally vulnerable to manipulation.

### Week 1

Cammy is now a junior at SAU. The upcoming Club Week has left the Promotion Squad overwhelmed, so the Pep Squad and Cammy herself assist on promotion duties. Cammy has the team keep an eye out for attractive nerd girls so they can be offered to join, as she wants someone who can naturally join SFEERS and manipulate the club's Student Association votes. Stacy and Lilly finish their assignment and report to Cammy and Jodi. Cammy praises the pair for their hard work, but once they leave, she expresses her frustrations at the team's failure to find any hot nerds. She is also annoyed at the Sock Hop Society losing its Student Association votes for the year over failing to submit the relevant paperwork. Cammy is certain Angela was involved in this mishap, but there is no evidence that can link her to it.

### Weeks 2-4

Cammy had rigged the Club Week floor plans so the SFEERS booth is just outside of the circle, allowing for easy surveillance of girls interested in the nerds' club. Cammy and Jodi are promoting in the Club Week area and are shocked to see a particularly hot girl walk out of the SFEERS booth. Cammy calls Stacy over, who tells them she's friends with this Robynne, but adds that Robynne already turned down joining the team. Cammy assures Stacy that Robynne simply lacks self-confidence, which friends like Stacy can remedy. She convinces Stacy to treat Robynne to lunch on Thursday so she can show up to personally recruit the girl. Cammy assigns Tanya to figure out as much about Robynne as possible.

Jodi reports to Cammy with bad news: there was almost no info to be found on Robynne, who has zero social media presence and scant few records. They conclude Robynne must be a recluse that checked out the SFEERS booth at the suggestion of her roommates Kara and Vivian, who were spotted at the booth the day before that. Not wanting this chance to escape, Cammy decides a bribe is in order. She asks Stacy for Robynne's approximate measurements, then orders an extremely expensive tailored dress, thinking someone who dresses as unfashionably as Robynne will be ecstatic to receive such a gift.

Cammy joins in the middle of Stacy and Robynne's lunch as planned. Robynne sees through Cammy's casual act and demands to know what the captain wants so badly that she'd make Stacy arrange this meeting. Robynne turns down joining cheer again, and when she correctly guesses Cammy wants her for her SFEERS membership, Cammy sends Stacy away so the negotiations can be one-on-one. Cammy admits she thought Robynne would be simple to convince, so she adds that being a member of both cheer and SFEERS would elevate the club in the "game" of control in the university. Cammy is shocked when Robynne refuses and leaves.

Angela had happened to see Robynne meet Cammy and pulls her friend aside to discuss it in private. With Rob's observations on Cammy's aura being the first to validate Angela's, Angela reveals her history with the captain and her theory of Cammy possibly being reincarnated from the Empress, with the rest of the Spirit Guard hearing this as well. The team decides they need some way to obtain information on the captain's schemes and gauge her threat level. Robynne receives a package from "C" with the dress bribe, which has the team decide Cammy is desperate to have someone handle SFEERS for her. It's decided that Robynne will accept the offer to join the cheer team to act as a spy, so she will approach the captain to return the bribe and present a list of demands she's actually interested in.

Cammy meets Jodi and Tanya for promotion planning, and confuses her officers when she mentions her confidence in Robynne joining the cheer team in short time. Robynne and Vivian appear, though Vivian is sent away. Cammy's officers are shocked and jealous when Robynne reveals the dress bribe, as Cammy spends that kind of money on no one but herself, and are dismissed to look into Vivian. Robynne tells Cammy she's reconsidered the offer to play Cammy's "game" of manipulating clubs for Student Council votes, wanting to be the cheerleader that gets SFEERS involved so she can protect it. Robynne sets several conditions for her joining the team: let Vivian join as well, don't manipulate people like Stacy to ask Robynne for things, and let Robynne ditch any promotion job she's given. She also demands the dress she was bribed with be returned in favor of shipping computer parts to "Bluster" at a certain men's dorm, as she'll need to run high-end games in order to get close to the SFEERS officers. Cammy is furious at being ordered around but agrees.

At Cammy's orders, Robynne and Vivian fill out their bios for the team's website. The two then have their uniforms issued and photos taken by Tanya, with Stacy also present to help with Robynne's makeup at the captain's request. Robynne and Vivian are ordered to appear at the SFEERS opening social in their cheerleader uniforms, but the two exploit a loophole by changing in the restrooms once they get there.

Cammy spites Robynne for her demands by ordering computer parts in a completely different style than what was asked. The components arrive at Cory, Eli, and Dale's dorm. Sanvi is sent by Cammy to spy on the delivery, then promotes at the door herself to check who Robynne entrusted with this shady dealing. It is assumed that the more attractive Dale is Robynne's confidant, which leads to rumors of the two dating.

### Week 5

Cammy decides to test Robynne's loyalty now that she's had her extorted computer for a few weeks. Tanya gives Robynne, Vivian, Stacy, and Lilly a surprise promotion assignment for SFEERS's *Mega Mash Family Battle* tournament.

## Relationships

### SAU Cheerleading Team

Cammy joined the cheer team her freshman year, before it was split into the Promotion and Pep Squads. Using her leverage on the current cheer captain, Cammy was able to get the cheer team and overall club structure overhauled into what it is today. She became captain during her sophomore year and exercises unusually high authority for the position, even more than the coach in practice. Cammy often performs executive and managerial duties for the team, usually having Jodi handle more ground level matters.

### SAU Student Association

During her freshman year, Cammy was able to exert her influence on the Student Association through the current cheer captain, managing to overhaul club structure at SAU to depend on the cheer team. After becoming captain, Cammy also became a representative of the cheer team at SAUSA, though she gets easily bored at the meetings. She has the cheer team offer the bulk of promotion to clubs she has personal connections to so they may grow more than the others, increasing the number of SAUSA votes she can influence.

### Angela Warrant

When Angela was on the cheer team her freshman year, she found herself enthralled by Cammy's aura, assuming it to be a future Spirit Guard's, and became the captain's go-to promoter. After Mallory pointed out how bad of an influence Cammy was on Angela, Angela looked into the captain's shady dealings and threatened to expose them. Cammy retaliated by using her influence to have Angela kicked off the team, her scholarship revoked, and her social life suffocated. Angela wonders if her visions of the Princess and Empress mean Cammy is reincarnated from the latter, and continues to quietly keep an eye on Cammy's activities. Cammy suspects Angela is still trying to get in the way and has the team on high alert. When Robynne and Vivian join the cheer team, efforts are made to keep Cammy from realizing the two's connection to Angela.

### Jodi Ryder

Jodi is Cammy's best friend and right hand, typically being the main point of contact between the captain and the rest of the team. The two are often seen together, and Jodi is one of the few people comfortable with teasing Cammy. Jodi is uneasy about Cammy's shadier methods, but finds herself passive in the presence of the captain's aura.

### Tanya Tell

Tanya became a friend and left hand of Cammy some time after Angela was booted from the team. Tanya uses her gossip and social media snooping to keep the captain up to date on the goings on at the university as well as people of interest.

### Stacy Ambrose

Stacy is a freshman cheerleader that is popular among the team for her kindness and eagerness for promotion work. Stacy has taken the place of Angela as the captain's favorite promoter. Like Jodi, Stacy is nervous of Cammy's methods but can be convinced while near Cammy's aura. Robynne periodically drops hints of Cammy's true nature in hopes of Stacy drawing the conclusion herself and resisting the aura. "Cheer Itself" reveals that Cammy took notice of Stacy during the summer's team tryouts, and though they didn't speak to one another until afterwards, Cammy was already prepared to make Stacy her top promoter.

### Robert Dreese/Robynne Darling

Cammy spots Robynne at the SFEERS booth and decides she'd be the perfect cheerleader to manipulate the club's Student Association votes. Unknown to Cammy, Robynne eventually joining the cheer team is born not just out of a desire to protect SFEERS, but to spy on the captain and topple her plans. Robynne knows Cammy needs a SFEERS member like her and thus gets away with a lot, and Cammy responds by annoying her in ways intended to remind Robynne who's in charge. The two are intrigued by each other: Robynne wants to learn more about Cammy's overpowering aura and mysterious schemes, while Cammy takes special interest in Robynne for being one of the only people brave enough to not only say no to her, but make demands of her. Robynne is able to track Cammy's position from great distances due to a piece of Cammy's aura sticking to her own.

### Vivian Feliz

Cammy was notified of Vivian's appearance at the SFEERS booth a day before Robynne's, but decides against pursuing her when she sees the latter. One of Robynne's conditions for joining the team is adding Vivian as well, who happens to be her roommate and fellow SFEERS member. Unlike Robynne, Vivian is not granted the privilege of skipping promotion work. In order to make Cammy think Robynne is the only one to be suspicious of, Vivian plays up a stereotypical cheerleader attitude when with the rest of the team.

### Sanvi

Sanvi is a sophomore cheerleader who became close to Cammy through her dedication to her work. The two are now friends, and Cammy trusts Sanvi with information and jobs not given to other cheerleaders.

## In *MGP Alpha*

**This article or section is incomplete.**

You can help Magical Girl Policy Wiki by adding the missing information. This notice is to be removed once the article or section is complete.

Cammy appeared in *MGP Alpha* as Katy Masters. She is a senior at the Peavy Academy boarding high school, where most of the cast goes. Just like her future MGP counterpart, Katy is captain of the cheer team, often accompanied by her friend Jody, aims to control the student government, has a bitter rivalry with Angela, and makes a failed attempt to recruit Robynne before Robynne later joins anyway to stop Katy's plans. Katy is not shown to sport any sort of special powers, so her scope as an antagonist applies exclusively to the school life of the heroes. She originally had red hair, but this was retroactively changed to purple so she wouldn't share a hair color with Robynne.
