-Regina's last words

**Regina Wrensworth**, known as **Dr. Reginald Bushroot** or simply **Bushroot** post-mutation, is the protagonist of Fell From Heaven. Once an engaged waitress at Trudi's Diner, the fallen hero gave up everything to follow her dreams, including her appearance, home, family, and "decency", according to many.

## Physical appearance

### Pre-mutation

Regina was an anthropomorphic duck with pale yellow down, a yellow beak, and yellow feet. She had light brown hair, and wore green glasses. She was almost always seen wearing a plain gray dress, a watch, and brown sneakers.

### Post-mutation

After her mutation she became a little shorter, her feathers turned deep green and she gained a full head of purple foliage in place of hair, complete with anther. After her second mutation, her eyes became pale white with no irises or pupils, her hair and feathers paled until they lacked almost any color, and her anther rotted into something reminiscent of Cordyceps ophioglassoides (ironically, the Cordyceps virus is what kicked off the zombie apocalypse in the Last of Us franchise, and is called the "zombie mushroom").

## Personality

### Pre-mutation

Before her mutation, Regina was a crafty, quick-thinking waitress, who was willing to do whatever it took to achieve her dreams. After her first mutation, she showed a sinister side, as she seemed intent on harming the people who wronged her with her new powers.

### Post-mutation

Regina is a starkly different person post-mutation. Here, she is a savage, screeching monster, who behaves more like an animal than herself, and has no control over her actions. She still has the capacity to learn, and can mimic any, if not some, gestures that others can do, such as shrugging her shoulders or giving a thumbs up. She's making progress in the whole talking thing.

## Background

### Fell From Heaven

In 1991, Regina LaDora Wrensworth was a waitress who worked at Trudi's Diner in the town of Twin Beaks, who showed a genuine interest in the new TV show, Darkwing Duck. When she heard that auditions were being held in St. Canard for characters of the episode, "Beauty and the Beet", she, against the urging of her mother, sister, and fiancee, drove to St. Canard and truly gave it her all. However, Tino Inswana received the role instead, but he persuaded her to talk to Jim Starling, who proposed a wager: If she could lose enough weight within a week (due to Bushroot's slim physique), she would become Tino's body double. Blinded by the shot at stardom, Regina accepted.

Unfortunately, Regina was so focused upon winning the wager that her relationships with her family and friends became strained, and eventually nonexistent. Regina hurried to Dizzy Studios a week later, only to learn from Tino that Bushroot was made up with CGI, and therefore there was no need for a body double. Regina, crushed, returned home, facing the utter chaos, destruction, and ruin her life had become, all because of...Darkwing. She swore revenge.

Accessing her mother and sister's experimental grafter, Regina was able to successfully use it to truly become Bushroot, and gained his powers as well. Calling herself Reginald Bushroot to boot, she returned to Dizzy Studios, where she stole Tino's script and fought off security guards. Barging in on Darkwing while the final scenes of "Beauty and the Beet" were being recorded, she delivered a nigh-flawless performance. Darkwing, jealous and angry, fought with her, and nearly won. However, due to her adrenaline levels and heart rate, another mutation occurred. This one made Regina lose control of herself completely and permanently, turning her into a monster.

Darkwing was able to defeat her, incredibly, and she was detained by the Mutant Control Agency, only being released under heavy guard when she was needed for a Darkwing episode, because the whole thing was caught on tape and it became "Beauty and the Beet". In addition, Tino would provide a voice-over for her while episodes were being edited, so as to allow him to keep his job. After 15 years, the funding for the the MCA was pulled, since they were just studying and containing one mutant, so Regina spent most of her days living in a soundproof room with no windows and a 5-foot-thick steel door that was locked from the outside, unaware that she had been deserted.

15 years later, Jim Starling (as Negaduck) broke her out, in exchange for her membership in the Fearsome Five as Bushroot. She accepted, and has worked under him and gone by "Bushroot" since.

## Powers and abilities

**Botanokinesis**: Regina gained the ability to control plant life because of her mutation. Some applications of this include:

* Much less reliance on her own ability to fight, since she can communicate and fight with her plants even if fatally wounded.
* Having ridiculously high defense and endurance, since she can simply call on the essence of a tree's durability, and can summon her own healing fruit/herbs.
* Use of plants as methods of attack, both for damage and for restraining effects like rooting them in place, or even the use of special chemical attacks unleashed by plants.

However, downsides include:

* Getting hurt when her plants are hurt.
* Struggling with raw damage- even the toughest tree can be felled with enough hits using an axe.
* Due to her mutation and mental state, she's not an awesome strategist and will require intensive instruction if in battle.

**Regeneration and retroactive immortality**: Regina is retroactively immortal, as she can abandon one husk and transfer her mind into a fresh one and simply regrow her body, allowing her to survive fatal accidents like being chopped to pieces, drying up, etc. However, due to the fact that her second transformation was more...permanent, when regrowing, she will always remain dead-looking and with animalistic tendencies.

**Feral mind**: Because of the nature of her mutation, Regina is constantly in a state of unstoppable rage that allows her to perform in vastly increased capacity, taking and inflicting damage that she couldn't or wouldn't normally. However, because of this, she is often unable to discern friend from foe and attacks everyone within her line of sight (except for the rare exception of Negaduck). There has only been one way accepted by the MCA and the Fearsome Five to calm her down: electrocution, which amazingly will not kill her, but weaken her.

## Relationships

### Pre-mutation

#### **Doctors Amy and Twlya Wrensworth:**

* **Amy**: Regina's relationship with her mother was strained even before Fell from Heaven began, when she decided not to get a college education and instead became a waitress. She lost contact with her mother after Regina did not bother to talk to anyone during the completion of her wager.
* **Twlya**: An accomplished scientist like her mother, Regina's big sister always had enough room in her heart for her little sister- that is, until she left her already-stable-enough job and even gave up her fiancee to "chase a stupid dream". Twyla spoke to Regina post-mutation, trying to get her to reflect on her actions, but Regina had already heard enough. Once she and her mother leave Twin Beaks to live a comfortable life in Duckburg, she marries Dan Quackfielder, and is never mentioned again until the epilogue.

#### **Dan Quackfielder:**

Dan was Regina's fiancee and friend from grade school. He eventually left her after she stated that he loved Twyla and not her, and eventually moved to (coincidentally) St. Canard, then Duckburg to be with Twyla as she grieved over her mother's death, and is never mentioned again until the epilogue.

#### **Tino Inswana**:

Tino was a friend of Regina's, comforting her when she was rejected for the part he got, and taking her out to get a coffee. During the wager, he was actually the one person Regina would talk to, even offering up a place in his home if "the chips were down". Regina developed a crush on him, but was devastated to learn that he already had a girlfriend.

**Amy Hope and Gina Wrensworth**:
Regina never really met her niece and grand-niece, only once, many years after her mutation, where she accidentally found them trapped in a crashed car, Twyla and Dan missing. Unwilling to see a child die, she set them free, even after she learned who they were.

### Post-mutation

#### **Negaduck:**

Regina has no idea who Negaduck really is. All she knows is that he "freed her from her prison" (his words, obviously not hers) and that he hates Darkwing Duck as much as she does. She tolerates him.

#### **Rest of Fearsome Five (Liquidator, Megavolt, and Quackerjack):**

* **Liquidator**: Bushroot is naturally drawn to Liquidator, often as a source of healing (because plants need water), and because he is the only other mutant on the team. They consider each other to be "friends".
* **Megavolt**: When he first joined the Fearsome Five, Bushroot was terrified of him and wouldn't let him near her. Now she's just mildly disgruntled by him. Funnily enough, after being on the team long enough, Megavolt is more scared of Bushroot than Negaduck, which is saying something, considering Negaduck is a chainsaw-wielding psychopath.
* **Quackerjack**: Regina is often the butt of Quackerjack's jokes, and she despises him with all the force of her soul, almost as much as she despises Darkwing. (There was a particular incident with Bushroot being on the receiving end of one of Quackerjack's "joy buzzer" jokes that left deep enough emotional scars on everyone involved, to the point where, after that, Quackerjack refused to use them entirely.)
