### Notable quote(s)

"What an extraordinary moment this is… for those of you who have no idea who I am, I am Cara Mota. But to have thousands of underage students who all have the potential for greatness, all at their own respective distances from achieving it… it is rather overwhelming for me."

*"What advice do you have for guys who want to get members of the opposite sex to like them?"
"Well… you bring up an interesting question. You want to score a deserving partner for life? I may not be your typical size two, but no rational woman will ever prefer large arms and a hard gut over a large house and a hard fortune, so stop trying to be the hottest kid on the beach and start aiming to be the most formidable man in the business field."*
―Josh Hogan and Cara Mota during her public speech[src]
**Cara Mota** is a megalomaniacal multi-billionaire teenage businesswoman, as well as one of the smartest women in the star system by far. She is the owner and CEO of Mota Corporation and a major antagonist in the *Boys vs. Girls* franchise.

For her unprecedented contributions to innovative technology from such an early age, she won several prestigious awards such as the Medal of Hercules and a spot on the Most Brilliant Juveniles of All Time list on *The Divinator*. In taking extremely ruthless measures to retain the dominance of her industry, she happened upon two damaged yet brilliant teenagers, dubbing them the Executioner and the Godslayer, respectively. She becomes an extremely dangerous enemy to Steven Thompson when she sets up a party through Tower Placement School with the purpose of jeopardizing the educational facility, thereby effectively ending the School War in a gory stalemate and wiping out both the Armies of Organa and the Girl-Team as she believes both organizations to be beyond saving. Eventually, she participated in the climactic Vault Crisis following the catastrophic Melanization.

## Roles

## Biography

### Early life

*"Well, I was a huge help when he started up a business spanning his town. Daddy'd been developing a number of projects; he thought they'd have profound effects on the future. Everyone assumed his dream died when he did, but 12-year-old me wouldn't let that happen at all. Ah, but I'm getting quite sentimental here, aren't I? The real unions are already aligning."*
―Cara Mota to Josh Hogan[src]
Born in 2005 in Utah Valley Hospital to two parents that never married, Cara Mota was raised by her ambitious father, who was developing a number of technological projects he believed could have profound effects on the future and starting a business within the relatively low-class city of Provo, Utah. Cara, who matured very quickly throughout her early childhood, was extremely helpful to him. While she believed some people were made to be revered, she never imagined becoming one of them.

### CEO of Mota Corporation

#### Birth of the industry

*"Mutantkind came back to the surface in the forties, and they've been working with Fobbles to make space travel start in the seventies. Who do you think got them to keep going, send more stuff into the beyond, and safely? Dude, she's changed the face of technology itself, helping make sure we're all free using any means necessary, this teenager protects our country's interests and she's just awesome in general."*
―Josh Hogan[src]
When she was twelve, her father died unpredictably and while people initially believed his dream would die with him, Cara took his projects and finished them, whilst adding several things to them of her own design to make them more her own, thereby expanding his technology from a city-exclusive business to a dynamically innovating Fortune 500 technology giant, not only the youngest in history but also the first time a corporation had ever been established by a non-mutate that had widespread effects on the entire Sol, as mutants had resurfaced in the forties, and they had worked with Fobbles to initiate space travel in the seventies. She also had a custom mansion built for herself, in close proximity to her corporation's headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In her years of success, she was known to eat large amounts of chocolate consistently, and this, combined with her lifestyle not typically requiring her to exercise intentionally, caused her to gain a lot of weight. Her stomach was the most affected, becoming distended and thick with mounting layers of fat. However, she was still generally considered to be extremely beautiful, and she eventually got her navel pierced when she was preparing to become a model in 2019 at age fourteen, specializing in golden brassiers according to Edwin. When she began this on the side, having finally earned some spare time on her hands after two long years of relentless work, her business empire came to the knowledge of adolescents such as Josh Hogan and Diggory Fiennes as well as adults, making her and the company itself increase in fame further still.

She was also known to be socially active, frequently having a small group of teenage girls around, as well as being active sexually, having had affairs with several different men. Within the following year, her prolific accomplishments caused her to reach billionaire status, eventually becoming the youngest person ever to rank on the Most Brilliant Juveniles of All Time list on *The Divinator* at the age of thirteen years and two hundred thirty-seven days. On several occasions, she also brought up the idea of having a child when she came of age.

In February of 2020, she appointed her longtime friend Stephanie Fiennes as her personal assistant. A little later, Cara met the impoverished and conniving Satana Larson, who had been cruelly abandoned by her family and become homeless. Cara gave her a job singing at her mansion, taking her off the streets and earning her (reluctant) loyalty. Cara eventually became extremely fond of her, later mentioning she has an irresistible "cute slash creepy vibe", and she calls her her "little panther", to Larson's utter dismay. In return for her performances, Mota gave her a place to sleep; when she wasn't sleeping in her mansion, she was sleeping outside in the grass with a sleeping bag Mota had given her, among a couple of other rewards, after 'a particularly mind-blowing show'. Cara was known to have at one point familiarized herself with the Department of State, as she subtly referred to the government department while conversing with Rupert.

#### Creating a monster

*"You seem like an intellectual child, and you know what? Damaged people are always more dangerous, because they already know how to survive. All right, how would you like to become affiliated with a new company?"
"You're giving me a job?"
"Yeah, you might say that."
"You're giving me a job."*
―Alex Crawford and Cara Mota[src]
After she was swindled by Skore Industries, a rival company that had made a huge profit out of their deception, Cara Mota secretly hired a group of criminals to expose the company's illicit activities by making a huge scene, while another group began wreaking havoc in the wealthy neighborhood for which Harold Skore himself lived, eventually killing the man himself and leaving in what was described as a "horrific bloodbath". With her plan to end Skore's career having worked perfectly, Mota arrived in person on the seventeenth of July at a construction site of the company, and announced that Mota Corporation was purchasing all of Harold Skore's holdings (including the site), as well as retaining all of Skore's employees, as she claimed that the employees hardly deserved to suffer from the immoral actions of their former CEO. Cara proceeded to claim that Harold Skore had been a good CEO, whose big mistake was his lax approach to keeping his stocks under staunch protection.

After everyone cleared away, her right-hand personal assistant Stephanie Fiennes told her she noticed a boy in his early teens huddled inside the basement, surrounded by the corpses of three criminals that Fiennes deduced had come after him and killed halfway down the stairs. Mota took note of the extremely thin, but naturally beautiful child, who had taken note of Cara's physical beauty first, and commanded he approach her unless he wanted to be killed with the others. The boy identified as Alex Crawford, who had been a personal victim of Harold Skore's abuse behind closed doors. Mota kissed him on the cheek, making Crawford feel a wave of bliss, and asked him what he was like. While Cara downed a can of soda and shared another can with a starving Alex, she toasted the loss of Harold and the two enjoyed a cheerful conversation in her car. Cara, who was prodigiously intelligent, was stunned at Alex's uncanny ability to answer all of her questions regarding logic and arithmetic.

Upon arriving at her mansion, Cara Mota told Alex Crawford he had a place there, so long as he knew how to follow orders. Just then, she heard Alex's stomach growl noisily and pulled him close, tenderly asking if he was hungry. When Alex admitted that he was, Cara had a large dinner brought out. Together, they enjoyed a dinner of link sausage. Realizing he had been starved, and taking pity on him, Cara had more sausages and cheese brought to him. When they were both done eating, they spent hours in stimulated conversation, and realized they had a lot in common. Cara was taken aback on how much she could confide in the young man without needing to fear confusing him or planting malicious ideas in his head. Alex obviously considered Cara Mota an unexpected new chance to show his own brilliance and come out of the local misery. Alex was made the Executioner, though it would be months before he learned about the existence of Satana Larson.

Eventually, Larson began seeking to obtain more powerful weapons. Having access to extremely innovative weaponry, Mota promised to pay her in the resources she sought if she took up a second job by undertaking missions Mota would dispatch her on that were brutal and often involved murder or even serial killing. Taking on the name of the Godslayer, Larson geared up and traveled around Sol, using her skill set as an assassin to target anyone Mota was willing to pay her to apprehend. Believing Mota was the only person in Sol who appreciated anything about her (which was ultimately halfway true), Larson became something with no mercy, slaughtering anyone she encountered on her missions, regardless of age or gender. Mota was extremely impressed with her efficiency, to the extent that she came to regard her as one of her closest and dearest friends, although she was never willing to admit this in public.

#### *Emms, Eggs, and Easter!*

*"These students believed they had simply been invited to my gadget labeling agenda… but they are about to become my apprentices for a special Easter agenda! Let us take a moment to acknowledge the imminent efforts of these students, and to acknowledge my good fortune of working with such promising peers!"*
―Cara Mota[src]
On New Year's Eve in 2021, Cara attended a science conference and proceeded to begin traveling extensively. Wherever she was, she liked to eat four meals a day, five on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. After going on tour for several weeks in February and March 2022, Cara stopped by Tower Placement School in the days leading up to Easter as her travels were finally reaching a conclusion. Just prior, she had been working on a channel of metal tubes intended for ease of recycling, and had constricted radiation sickness temporarily, so she was barely recovering from a headache when she came to speak at school. She invited six Tower Placement students to her machine convention at the third floor of the Provo Library, claiming the students were randomly selected.

After the machine convention, she and the six students went to a cafe, where she informed the students that they were special guests and planners of an event called *Emms, Eggs, and Easter!* held at the piano chamber on Easter, of which she enlisted Steven Thompson to oversee it. In reality, she was planning to use this as an opportunity to offer them up to an unknown third party to put an end to the School War as it was messing with her corporation. Vincent Organa had been keeping an eye on the Godslayer for months, and he was present at the cafe listening in on Cara and her apprentices. He approached them and claimed that he had intel on the animal handlers massacred in Mississippi, discretely asking Steven if this was a good time to talk. When Vincent was ordered to silence, Cara promptly left the cafe wishing everyone the best of luck, leaving in one of her limousines. Several days later, Vincent was escorted into Cara's study by her right-hand personal assistant, Stephanie Fiennes. Cara was initially excited to see him, but Vincent confronted her about his suspicions and refused to be intimidated by Cara's thinly-veiled threats. Cara realized that he would not yield to her influence and would risk implicating her. Hence, the scheming businesswoman had Vincent framed for her own crimes.

#### Interview with Rupert

*"I'm not a warrior, Rupert."
"Maybe not in the traditional sense. But you are investing a good deal of your personal wealth in the area of defense and specifically the kinds of disruptive technologies you just referenced, even as you’ve been turned down time and again for the kinds of government contracts that would make those investments profitable. One man working outside the government to clean up the streets? Sure sounds like—"
"I'm going to stop you because your facts are as off as your characterization. If you want to understand me, understand this: I'm a businesswoman with long-term global investments; I would be in breach of my fiduciary responsibility if I didn’t work to protect the star system. I'm not just counting on humanity, I'm betting on it."*
―Cara Mota and Rupert[src]
Shortly before the release of her company's revolutionary new operating system Mota/OS, Cara Mota was approached by reporter Rupert, and agreed to meet him for ten minutes at her home. Cara was then promptly interviewed on a number of subjects, including the war and the posthumous effects of the Dinobot Invasion and the end of "a dark Empire" as well as the ramifications of Steven Thompson becoming a war hero and poster boy. Right afterwards, Cara offered to play bowling with Rupert, confident in her ability to "exterminate" the latter.

They realized it during their own interviews and fled to Tower Placement to tell everyone about Longfellow's double identity, meaning Cara had succeeded only partially in her agenda. During this time, Cara watched on as Cable was paid to blow up a merchandise warehouse, in order to test out the capabilities of Steven Thompson. Mota set up another CCTV at the warehouse beforehand, in order to watch events unfold. She pulled some strings to ensure no one in the McDonald's building apprehended them. She walked in overhearing their mentioning she was up to something, citing she always was but not in the context they would assume. After successfully demanding an update of their progress, she offered them all a Sanctum as a headquarters for their search, at which point an overwhelmed Josh laid bare his romantic feelings. Touched, she went over to the counter and ordered a triple cheeseburger and large fries and two milkshakes, heading off with a takeout bag just as Nymph asked Steven what he had learned.

When Josh constricted a fever and had to remain in the Sanctum for the day, Mota sent him a get-well card, with an unnecessarily long introduction of herself as a signature. Josh slept with this under his pillow, much to Summer Petersen's disgust.

#### The Godslayer's betrayal

*"I don't detest criminals. I detest crime. And as for the Armies of… wait."
"Hey bitch, why don't you make like a bee before someone catches a whiff?"*
―Cara Mota and Helen McKeen[src]
Deciding the time had come at last, Cara Mota was prepared to destroy Utah County Jail, the facility where not only Vincent Organa but now the bulk of the Boy-Team was held, sending Bernal alongside Stephanie Fiennes to place bombs within the prison chambers. Upon learning that the boys were escaping, however, she quickly sent a connected and ringed convoy through subspace as a hoax, with Bernal and Fiennes commandeering the central craft together. Mota had told Bernal to cause the explosion only once Fiennes had stepped off of the platform, resulting in her death and huge aversion from suspicion of Mota Corporation having the most remote involvement. However, Mota would be enraged to learn the boys would be using what was promised to them and return to Tower Placement, saving them a three-hour walk. It was at this point that the Godslayer finally recovered the orb, so Mota was contacted to be informed of the weapon's completion as had been promised. Upon doing so, she was furious to discover that the anarchist, being ready to plunge all the world into insanity, promised Mota's fate would not be as egregious as everyone else's. Unfazed, Mota cut contact with her without a word, resolving to wait until the boys arrived at Tower Placement to intercept the girls already there, and then blow the academic facility skyhigh, intending to obliterate thousands.

She later encountered Josh Hogan, beckoning him to come join her, but when Hogan mentioned he knew about the Godslayer's social connections, the Executioner arrived out of the blue and stabbed him. She told Hogan she was going to end the School War, not fight it, and moved to push the trigger to activate the Godslayer's bomb, only to realize it was blocked by Dustin. However, Helen McKeen arrived and turned a skunk upon her to spray her, causing her to smell foul and making her extremely embarrassed, and causing her to storm out of the complex in a rage, leaving the Executioner and a group of goons to deal with Hogan and McKeen. The Godslayer would eventually be arrested and the superweapon she had been building for a decade would be destroyed.

#### Targeting the political world

*"Oh, and did you see the news, Summer? Cara Mota is running for president! This is terrible!"
"Don't worry, Steven, she's a corrupt, xenophobic billionaire that has little regard for anyone except herself, privately screwed over hundreds of people, and has lied countless times! I mean, come on! What are the odds a woman like that could ever be elected President?"
"Hmm, let's take a look at American history, shall we?"
"He beat me by about one second."*
―Steven Thompson and Summer Petersen[src]
Although the Girl-Team lost the war, Cara Mota was ultimately unaffected by the outcome as Josh Hogan's claims of her malice were vigorously disputed as the bomb was deduced to be a simple Rubik's Cube by officers, and hence the only evidence came from the Godslayer, whom was considered to be a madman. Hogan and McKeen survived their battle with the Executioner, who had seemingly been killed. Cara's actions against Tower Placement School did make Trinity remember her, however. Mota spoke reassuringly with Fortune a few weeks after the war's conclusion, promising that humanity's future was in good hands. In February of 2023, she was featured on the cover of a prestigious magazine, in which she disclosed the secret to success. Two months later, she came online to answer any questions about her corporation's latest technological breakthroughs, and at the end of the Time Army Offensive the following year, Mota Corporation was still thriving under her remarkable leadership.

In 2025, Steven Thompson mentioned that Cara Mota was running for president, much to his horror. Although Summer Petersen agreed it would end in disaster, she subtly implied Mota may still be an improvement compared to Joe Biden, before breaking down laughing, and ultimately, it was Aaron Clinton who secured that position in the place of Biden. A biographical film even went into development, *The Cara Mota Story*.

### Post-Melanization

Sometime after the Melanization, Cara ended up participating in the Vault Crisis, procuring the services of Juliah Furler and Lady Fusillade to act as her agents.

### Alternate Universe

*"In comparison to the rugged, post-apocalyptic looks of Xydarone IV and yourself, Mota in a pristine white suit would present her as a total non-threat in the Fusion, masking what could be her true role of being the brains of the Black Queen's war room."
"What are you smoking, Bethany?"*
―Red Cavalier and Savin[src]
What role Cara Mota played in the dark potential future has yet to be made entirely clear, but the Red Cavalier suspected that the Black Queen might keep her by her side as a kind of intelligence officer, lending her scientific knowledge to the cosmic witch to fully equip her to completely wipe out the heroes of Sol. Aesthetically, Mota would also provide a noteworthy contrast to the other participants in the Fusion. Savin, however, considered this theory to be hilariously inaccurate. It seemed fact, however, that Mota was selected by the Brotherhood among the minority provided with a means to leave Earth when it was transformed into an apocalyptic wasteland.

## Physical description

*"Steven turned to the doorway, but his first thought was that the girl walking in didn't look a day older than Helen. She had soft, creamy skin, with chestnut-brown eyes. Her stomach jutted out against the fabric of her jacket, making him wonder if she was a teenage pregnancy case, but otherwise she looked fairly pretty. Still, the fact that she was dressed entirely in black and purple set him on edge a little, and he didn't know why."*
―Steven's first impression of Cara Mota[src]
Cara Mota was an extremely, breathtakingly beautiful woman with soft, creamy skin and a regal complexion. She was a tall, delicate, and elegant teenager who was nearly 180 centimeters tall. She had dark brown hair that she always kept short, dark brown eyes, and a corpulent yet extremely curvy body, with Josh Hogan citing that she looks “almost too fragile for real life, like a dainty magical fairy”. After a lifestyle of eating rich foods and living opulently, she had a large stomach that jutted out over her pants and firm and smooth yet slightly meaty arms and legs. Her belly was mentioned by Josh Hogan to have a unique sloping shape that made it easier for her revealing top to fit her. She owned a grey necklace that she wore with her dress and with her pajamas, and she also wore light colored makeup with dark accents on the lips and eyes. Cara was also very well-known for her long, curved fingernails, which she often painted different colors. Cara often dressed fancily and apparently enjoyed wearing clothes that exposed her pretty arms and protruding stomach, emphasizing her style, making her more memorable in general, and making her feel significantly more confident. She wore such an outfit of purple vinyl when she first met Alex Crawford. When she was inside her mansion, however, she wore a variety of immodest pajamas which exposed certain areas of her bulging frame, particularly favoring ones that completely exposed her stomach so the skin could breathe. She also had a lightweight black veil she could use to cover up some of her skin as an alternative to changing clothes. She still dressed modestly most of the time, as when she spoke at a school, she wore a black and purple jacket that sparkled, and when she met with her new apprentices, she was wearing a tight dress, and when she went to the tower and unexpectedly encountered Josh Hogan, she was wearing a form-hugging outfit of bronze leather. Because she was out of shape, had no muscles in her arms or her stomach, and lacked heavily in terms of physical strength, she relied on her henchmen to do most of her heavy work in Mota Corporation.

Thanks to her incredible beauty and endearing uniqueness, Cara was fully capable of garnering a massive amount of attention from males, including Josh Hogan and Diggory Fiennes.

## Personality and traits

 File:CARA 5.jpg

*"We have so many perceptual biases and mental inefficiencies going on, it’s a wonder we can handle heavy machinery. And because of these perceptual inaccuracies, I've previously detailed about how we must be careful in judging our fellow men, and taking to any belief with a reasonable dose of skepticism."*
―Cara Mota[src]
Cara Mota was an extremely intellectual, eclectic, ambitious, self-conscious, confident, charismatic, steadfast and cunning young woman with a virtually unrivaled mind for business and various fields of science, although mathematics have always been her academic weak spot. Generally, she projected a calm, charismatic, witty, and almost childlike facade befitting her being a childhood prodigy, which caused nearly everyone to believe she was extremely mature, charming, and beautiful. Cara identified as an eternal altruist and humanist, supporting this with her intuitive wisdom, complicated ideals, and ability to work well with small children. Her innovative technology made her a famous name and would benefit generations to come. Furthermore, she had a phenomenal command of the art of public speaking, allowing her to mystify and emotionally move her audiences, allies and enemies alike, gaining widespread revenue for her corporation, affectionately referring to her more passionate supporters as *"a million reasons to keep the faith"* and called herself a woman of and for the people. When appearing in front of an audience, Cara was always treated as a revered celebrity, as was expected of someone as charismatic and well known as she was. She had an active social life and was frequently surrounded by other teenage girls, clearly relishing being the center of attention, being sexually active as well and showing a voracious appetite. Additionally, she was known to frequently flatter teenage boys who fancied her, including Josh Hogan, whom she claimed was one of the most masculine-looking people she had ever seen, with even Steven Thompson being alarmed at the sincerity in her tone, even hugging him genuinely when she realized he loved her and seemed to need her support.

 File:Cara i.jpg
While Cara's extremely intellectual, charming, and socially adept nature would make her appear an ideal image of human perfection, we later learn that she actually possesses the heart of a pure sociopath. Underneath her charismatic exterior, she was actually an extremely egotistical, remorseless, and devilish woman who would not hesitate to have anyone who stood in her way killed or locked up, including the sleazily deceitful Harold Skore, or all of the Godslayer's victims, such as the problematically radical animal breeders of Mississippi, or the militantly oppositional Vincent Organa. When seeking to destroy opposition, she always preferred to keep her hands clean and let others do her dirty work. She ironically considered men to be superior to women "after sinking neck deep in rich research", in spite of being female herself. Although she has displayed a handful of traits that imply psychological androgyny, her only physical feature is her preference to keep her hair short, as she wears necklaces and makeup and often poses in girlish ways as a supermodel, as Josh Hogan indeed pointed out. She wanted to end the School War for all the wrong reasons and her means of attempting to do so were callous and maniacal. Even Cara's personal assistant, confidant, and right-hand woman Stephanie Fiennes, who knew her best, was ultimately not privy to all of Cara's master plans, and therefore was unable to correctly predict her future actions.

Another mark of Cara's exceptional leadership skills and cunning is shown by her taking note of and acting on countless opportunities others tend not to notice. For example, she was very quick to accept the services of the psychopathic anarchist Satana Larson, as she quickly deduced just how much she could gain from her. She was also confident in the Executioner even before discovering he was a borderline genius, and went out of her way to spare his life.

Also, despite her purely and egregiously malicious nature as a deceitful supercriminal, Cara viewed herself as a heroic, enlightening, and altruistic humanist, since she does indeed actually firmly believe in the importance of bettering humankind to its peak, and Cara claims that she wants to elevate the right people in order to "leave Sol better than when we found it, to improve conditions for the forthcoming generation my future son will be a part of". Due to Steven Thompson epitomizing many of these humanist beliefs (having bettered himself both mentally and physically to his peak, without any superhuman assistance, making him capable of pulling off terrific feats without actually being superhuman), Cara somewhat admires him, although she did not view him as an equal since she took pride in her intellectual superiority.

Despite her evil nature, Cara was extremely generous towards people that served her, provided they possessed sufficient competence. She was notably compassionate enough to take in the otherwise helpless Satana Larson and Alex Crawford and dub them the Godslayer and the Executioner respectively, provided they were willing to serve her. Cara was also sedentary and very fond of food, especially anything related to chocolate — cakes, eclairs, donuts, candy bars, chocoballs, truffles, wafers, among others, it didn't seem to matter to her, if something was chocolate she would be happy to try it. Cara usually consumed four meals a day. Her physical inactivity and excessive consumption of foods rich in fat and sugar resulted in her putting on weight to a noticeable extent, although she was not insecure about it at all — quite the contrary, she thought every aspect of her body made her beautiful, and her bulging gut was far from an exception. The teenager actually loved how it felt to be out in public with her belly bare and displayed a preference for such outfits in her wardrobe. Cara is known to be fond of using vapes.

Whatever her moral scaling may be, Cara has tremendous determination and strength of will, since she absolutely refuses to ever hunker down and give up, even when placed against seemingly insurmountable odds, with Cara mastering almost any situation. Indeed, Cara even resolved to dominate in something as trivial as a bowling game with Rupert. Hence, Cara managed to successfully transform her father's business from a town-based company to an innovative Fortune 100 technology giant (in a stupendous, what some call a superhuman, business feat), and being willing to use illegal operations to maintain the success of her totalitarian business empire. Although the Girl-Team lost the war, Mota was ultimately unaffected by the outcome as Josh Hogan's claims of her malice were vigorously disputed as the only evidence came from the Godslayer, whom was considered to be a madman.

## Abilities

*"I’m always up to a thing or two, it’s just the way I flow."*
―Cara Mota[src]
* File:CARA 3.jpg  **Supergenius Intellect**: Cara Mota, in spite of being young, is extremely intelligent, quite possibly one of the smartest women in Sol (with Lady Xamera, Mr. Stupid NoHead, Annabeth Black, the Magistrate, and eventually Master Intelligence being possibly smarter than her), with her eclectic intellect extending to her leadership, tactical, strategic, demagogic, deceptive, manipulative, mathematical, scientific, engineering, computer science, computer programming, robotics, hacking, literary, mythological, theological, exploitative networking, and totalitarian business skills. Hence, Cara was notably not deceived by Steven Thompson's seemingly inhuman and supernatural achievements (being quick to deduce via CCTV that the Destroyer of Thunder is only a mere man without any mutated powers). It is possible that the Black Queen herself strongly desired her unparalleled scientific knowledge, albeit in a vision of a possible future.
	+ **Master deceiver**: Cara Mota is phenomenally skilled in deception, as she was, much like Rose Johannson, notably able to successfully hide her internal pure malice under a kindly and altruistic façade, which was convincing enough to initially fool Senator Pompeo, the extremely perceptive Vincent Organa, the insightful and brilliant warriors Steven Thompson and Summer Petersen, and even the extremely experienced tactical and detective genius Helen Thornton, with none of them initially suspecting her to be a malicious psychopath. She was able to deceive even her personal assistant Stephanie Fiennes, who knew her best, into getting killed (by convincing her that she is her best friend, right-hand woman, and confidant, privy to all of her master plans, while in fact even she was a mere disposable liability).
	+ **Master manipulator**: Cara Mota is a terrifyingly accomplished manipulator, even more skilled than Mr. Stupid NoHead, as she was capable of steadily, with remarkable ease, earning the complete and undivided loyalty of the bitter yet extremely powerful Godslayer and nearly as competent Executioner, with this ability also aiding Mota in gaining the many criminal allies that help her maintain the success of her totalitarian business empire. She even drove a wedge between the Organa twins.
	+ **Master detective**: Cara Mota, although applying this talent for malicious purposes, has proven herself to be an extraordinarily masterful detective, with her expertly employing multiple extremely well-concealed means such as planting CCTVs in arenas of interest as well as hacking to swiftly deduce the truth, notably being able to effortlessly see through Steven Thompson's nearly inhuman façade regarding him being supernatural, deducing correctly that the latter was actually a mere man without any mutant powers.
	+ **Master demagogue**: Cara Mota is a superbly skilled demagogic supergenius (more so than even the Umbralord and Rose Johannson), as her intention is to come off as an altruistic humanist of and for the people, so she therefore masterfully appeals to popular desires and prejudices when addressing people, often championing the cause of the common people, with her usage of seemingly rational arguments making Cara's method even more effective. Indeed, her Mota Corporation mission statement is "The present is made to pave the roads of the future".
	+ **Master engineer**: Cara Mota is a phenomenally brilliant and prolific supergenius engineer, computer scientist, computer programmer, cryptographer and robotics technician, a wunderkind prodigy as a child who built some considerably complex devices even then, and her company, Mota Corporation, is thus Sol's premiere one in high-technology defense innovation, specializing in new disruptive technologies, notably creating the revolutionary new operating system Mota/OS (Sol's first neural network-based operating system), the ability to convert stress into electricity, and the high-tech microwave, in addition to Cara being able to effortlessly verbally extemporize computer code.
	+ **Master social intuit**: As a very outspoken humanist, Cara Mota developed a high degree of social confidence and utter mastery at a very young age in intuitively determine how to interact with others, gain their respect and get her point across with a calmness, eloquence, and charisma that belie her malice, megalomania, bloodlust, and actual emotional state. The teenage girl has shown herself to be unbelievably charismatic, which enables her to reportedly talk her way out of a handful of sticky situations as well as please people at parties by inspiring them with her speeches or entertaining them with her stories. Hence, she successfully appealed to the bitter Satana Larson and diplomatically stated her hopes and ambitions in an interview with Rupert (casually remaining unfazed by the latter's somewhat provocative questions). When the Executioner, who was already traumatized by the abuse his slavers inflicted, watched Cara kill them, the businesswoman acted as though nothing had happened and greeted him cordially, and Crawford became very intrigued by her ideals and followed her to her comfortable limousine and let his guard down severely, intent to continue a further discussion. She was mentioned to carry an overwhelming air of confidence. Additionally, her utter lack of insecurity about her weight led to her either ignoring or less commonly one-up anyone who made fun of it. As a result, Cara remains extremely well-respected not only by her Mota Corporation employees (especially Stephanie Fiennes) and criminal allies, but even by most politicians and the general public. It should be noted that Cara's immense charisma failed only with Vincent, and only because the latter had been both a long-term adamant supporter of the old guard and exceptionally perceptive.
	+ **Master businesswoman**: Cara Mota is a phenomenally brilliant, supergenius totalitarian businesswoman, a wunderkind prodigy, easily the best currently alive in the star system, managing to successfully transform her father's town business into a cutting-edge Fortune 500 technology giant and become the youngest CEO of such a business in history (in a stupendous, what some call a superhuman, business feat), allowing her self-made company to grow to massive heights and gain numerous business partners (notably quickly absorbing Skore Industries), which gives her a tremendous amount of totalitarian influence and respect in the business world, in addition to Cara being able to considerably build her wealth from scratch to phenomenal levels that makes her quite possibly the wealthiest citizen in the star system, to the point where her company easily surpasses even the likes of R&D budget and in the field of military defense contracts, making Mota Corporation the world's premiere company in high-technology defense innovation and the largest tech conglomerate in the star system. In fact, the astonishingly prolific genius accomplishments of Cara led the teenage CEO to become the youngest person ever to be named Fortune's Businessperson of the Year. Unlike Sebiscuits Cardarphen, however, Cara is not above and is extremely skilled in secretly using ruthless cutthroat tactics, unethical practices and illegal operations (with her ties to criminal underworlds) to maintain the success of her totalitarian business empire, fooling all about her usage of dirty ethics.
	+ **Expert leader**: Cara Mota is a phenomenally skilled and brilliantly talented leader, a wunderkind prodigy, becoming the youngest person ever to be included in Fortune's list of the World's 50 Greatest Leaders, having been able to spearhead Mota Corporation with consistently tremendous effectiveness that eventually led to it being the most prominent company in the star system, having the most amount of contracts even compared to eight also extremely illustrious companies, and inspire complete loyalty in both her criminal allies and company employees to the point that they were more than willing to risk themselves against not only the law but also individuals as powerful as Steven Thompson and Vincent Organa and lead them from the shadows completely unnoticed while efficiently coordinating their efforts to perform anonymous acts.
	+ File:CARA 6.jpg  **Master political scientist**: Cara Mota, as a totalitarian supergenius businesswoman, has a phenomenal understanding of political science, such as the inner workings and intended goals of both political structures and intelligence agencies - notably the U.S. Government (whose Department of Justice Cara easily deceived and manipulated) as well as the Department of State and the CIA. Hence, Cara fully understood the paradigm shift that the goals of modern politics took after the emergence of the Dinobot Invasion and the School War, with her masterfully using this to her own benefit, by openly addressing the newfound political concerns in a demagogic speech. Indeed, Rupert would go so far as to say that Cara's ideology of humanism makes the latter sound like someone running for political office, although she wouldn't actually try to do that until 2025, with Steven finding the chances of her success being horrifying to contemplate.
	+ **Expert literarian**: Cara, as a famous bibliophile, has an encyclopedic knowledge of literary works, possessing vast quantities of books in her own private study, with her being particularly well-versed in American pop-culture.
	+ **Master networker**: Cara Mota, as a supergenius manipulator, deceiver, and oligarch, uses a vastly dense network of professional and social contacts to further both her business and supervillain ambitions with outstanding skill. This is notable through her influence of prominent politicians like Michael Pompeo of the Department of State, other powerful companies, and formidable criminal underworlds like Bernal and his men, as well as her many covert moles and pawns in various places, including Stephanie Fiennes, that do Cara's malicious bidding for her, sometimes unknowingly. Hence, Cara is able to discreetly keep tabs on numerous people and things that interest her. She ensured no one at McDonald's would speak up about the children Longfellow (as General Exotorn) marked as heretics.
	+ **Master criminologist**: Cara Mota, quite ironically, is a phenomenally skilled and knowledgeable criminologist, outclassing even Dustin in that regard, since she has tremendous insight into and understanding of the corrupted Girl-Team and their mindsets, which allows her to easily understand how some of their operations succeed while others fail miserably. Hence, Cara was able to keep her own supercriminal status covert so superbly that even Vincent Organa had no knowledge of it, despite having knew of her shady alliance with Bernal, was able to maintain such strong ties to the criminal underworld so as to successfully use said connections to maintain the extraordinary success of her totalitarian business empire and was able to easily orchestrate multiple criminal acts without having any of it tied back to Cara.
* **Expert bowler**: Cara Mota is a highly skilled bowler, confident in her ability to "exterminate" Rupert in a game.
* **Indomitable willpower**: Cara Mota, much like her archenemy Vincent Organa, has tremendous determination, fearlessness, and strength of will, since she absolutely refuses to ever hunker down and give up, even when placed against seemingly insurmountable odds, with Cara being able to master almost any situation. Indeed, Cara even resolves to dominate in something as trivial as a bowling game with Rupert. Hence, Cara managed to transform her father's town business into a dynamic Fortune 100 technology giant (in a stupendous, what some call a superhuman, business feat), and being willing to use illegal operations to maintain the success of her totalitarian business empire.

## Weaknesses

*"I've always been a bit… delicate. Vulnerable in body, but virtually invincible in mind, like the best of us."*
―Cara Mota[src]
* **Corpulence**: After a lifestyle of eating rich foods (including excessive consumption of chocolate delicacies) and luxurious assets, coupled with her lifestyle generally not having a place for her to exercise intentionally, Cara Mota was lacking in physical strength, agility, and durability. Her rich and opulent lifestyle softened her muscles considerably and caused her belly to balloon out, and her slow moments and delicate body made her vulnerable to the attacks of Boy-Team members or other warriors. However, this weakness of hers was ultimately an insignificant one, as she made up for this with her genius intellect, and by always ensuring she was always protected from anyone who meant her harm. Additionally, her luxurious lifestyle generally lacked a place for her to exercise intentionally, making this weakness of hers almost moot.
* **Arrogance**: Cara Mota's other main weakness is her overconfidence and arrogance (stemming from her megalomania and goddess complex). However, this weakness of hers is ultimately an insignificant one, as Cara's tremendous intellect and cold calculation allow her to very effectively compensate for this at almost all times, mastering almost any situation with her tactical contingencies.
* **Patience**: Cara's patience can be a weakness, as she waited too much time to detonate the nuclear bomb or to have Josh Hogan killed off, choosing to indulge her desire to have him witness Tower Placement's demise.

## Possessions

### Wardrobe

*"No, I'm not worried about migration, honey. It's a risk that can happen when there's too much movement for the piercing to heal comfortably around the navel area, because my sedentary lifestyle prevents excessive moving. Heck, I rarely move at all with a fresh belly ring."*
―Cara Mota to Josh Hogan[src]
Cara Mota had an extensive wardrobe that complimented her corpulent yet pleasing figure and her light colored makeup with dark accents on the lips and eyes.

* **Piercing**: Ever since she was fourteen, Cara had a piercing through the upper rim of her deep navel, which made her belly even more fun to touch. As the sexually active CEO of Mota Corporation, she never exercised and her appetite became larger, so that by 2021 her soft, delicate stomach was bloated and protruded obscenely. Her belly fat was abundant and flowed invitingly whenever she moved, at which time she got her growing belly pierced.
* **Necklace**: Cara Mota owned a grey necklace that she wore with her dress and with her pajamas as a teenager.
* **Jackets**: When she spoke at a school, she wore a black and purple jacket that sparkled.
* **Fancy attire**: when she met with her new apprentices, she was wearing a tight dress that out more emphasis on her bulging stomach.
* **Casual attire**: Cara Mota owned a shirt with Obadiah's painting on it. As she grew older and fatter, she began wearing it as a top ending just above her expansive belly, taking advantage of its unique sloping shape to fit snugly around her chest, saying it was a good summer outfit. When Cara first met Alex Crawford, she was wearing a sparkling skintight sleeveless top with shoulder pads that ended just above her midsection whilst accentuating her perfectly shaped chest. When Cara arrived at a tower and encountered Josh Hogan, she was wearing a tight, short, arm-baring and form-hugging outfit that was bronze-colored and made of expensive leather.

### Other equipment

* **Fortune**: As the CEO of Mota Corporation, Cara Mota has earned herself a phenomenally large fortune, making herself quite possibly the wealthiest woman in Sol, with her wealth surpassed only by the International Alliance. For the last four years, she has dwelt in an opulent mansion. Also, her wealth allows Cara access to the most sophisticated technology in the star system and many innovative and futuristic useful equipment.
* **Mota/Os**: Under Cara's wing, Mota Corporation developed a revolutionary new high-speed computer operating system, the star system's first neural network-based operating system, capable of gradually becoming more and more intelligent each time human beta testers volunteer.
* **CCTVs**: Cara has a penchant for setting up many video cameras in locations of interest, in order to watch events unfold from within her private room in the Mota Corporation facility. She has thus successfully spied on Steven Thompson, and it is hugely implied there were several others.
* **Medal of Hercules medal**: Mota was given an Medal of Hercules, first class, medal by the U.S. Government in 2019 for defying all possible odds by transforming her father's business from a town-based company to an innovative Fortune 100 technology giant in what is considered a stupendous, almost superhuman feat of unprecedented underage ingenuity, all at the age of twelve and in the wake of her father's unexpected passing.

## Facilities

* **Mansion**: Ever since 2018, Cara Mota has dwelt in an opulent mansion with numerous bedrooms, baths, and even a slide network, bowling alley, and cafe, where she had her fifteen-minute interview with Rupert. She spent a lot of her time in her workshop working on her inventions.
* **Mota Corporation Tower**: Cara spearheaded the international headquarters of Mota Corporation.

## Relationships

### Allies

Cara Mota had many allies that helped run and sustain her business, and was frequently surrounded by a small group of female teenagers. She notably had Michael Pompeo as an acquaintance.

#### Stephanie Fiennes

Cara greatly respects the efficiency of Stephanie Fiennes, considering her her closest ally and confidant, and revealing to Stephanie most of her grand supervillain plans. In turn, Stephanie is fiercely loyal to Cara, whom she admires. Despite Cara greatly valuing her, she is ultimately shown to be disposable to her, as she died after Cara cryptically cited that there was one last loose end to tie.

#### Godslayer

 File:Godslayer (TFOTT).jpg

*"No one helped me. Not even when I was a helpless baby, not even during the war. I only had one person. The most lovely sight on the face of the star system, and perhaps the wealthiest. A teenage prodigy."*
―The Godslayer[src]
Although Satana Larson was one of Cara's allies, Cara regarded her with unreciprocated respect and concern, with her reluctantly working for her out of sheer pragmatism, despite Cara genuinely liking her. So when Satana betrayed her and directly threatened her life after she spread chaos everywhere, Cara showed no fear of Satana, still believing herself much more powerful than the anarchist correctly, and simply cut off contact with her permanently.

#### Executioner

*"Approaching the building was a chillingly beautiful young woman who looked about half a decade older than himself. She had soft, creamy skin, with caramel-brown eyes. Long, sweeping robes of state extended from her body. Her most defining feature, however, was her strangely pleasing figure. Her bulging stomach was large and didn't hang at all, but her fat hardly seemed to have effect on her anywhere else. Thinking about her body made him feel extremely uncomfortable, as he wanted to focus on what her facial expressions could tell him in any case. And yet in spite of all this, she looked strangely inviting with her tunic billowing behind her and her slightly masculine face looked very soft to the touch and intense at the same time."*
―Alex Crawford's first impression of Cara Mota[src]Cara first met Alex Crawford when she came to a casino to help examine the home of Harold Skore, who had recently been killed as a punishment for swindling her. Cara was taken by his beauty, which was obscured by the misery he had endured, and beckoned he join her under threat of death. Although Alex was very worried that Cara would be a crueler mistress than Harold, his spirits rose considerably when Cara showed him kindness no one else ever had by kissing him on the cheek and offering him whiskey, leaving him flustered. Cara was prodigiously intelligent, and she was stunned at Alex's uncanny ability to answer all of her questions regarding logic and arithmetic.

Upon arriving at her mansion, Cara told Alex he had a place there, so long as he knew how to follow orders. She gave Alex a hearty meal and the boy became extremely grateful for Cara's kindness. When they were both done eating, they spent hours in stimulated conversation, and realized they had a lot in common. Cara was taken aback on how much she could confide in the young boy without needing to fear confusing him or planting malicious ideas in his head, and Alex in turn was thrilled that he finally had someone to talk to who equaled him in dignity and intelligence. Alex Crawford obviously considered Cara Mota an unexpected new chance to show his own brilliance and come out of the local misery. Their relationship was similar to that between a mother and a son, and Cara was the individual the Executioner loved most in Sol. The Executioner had great respect for the celebrity and considered her an equal in wisdom. Most of all, he viewed her as a powerful yet delicate woman who had given her health, shelter, and a purpose.

### Fans

Most of Mota's fans were composed of middle-aged men, such as Tyrone Thompson, who found her inventions to be "pioneering", and male adolescents, such as Josh Hogan and Diggory Fiennes, who were charmed by her looks and the sheer extent of her charm. Cara's notable fans, such as Gary and Vernon, regularly wrote her adoring fan mail. She also had a twenty-six-year-old manager named Gerald.

#### Josh Hogan

*"Well obviously you really need some confidence bolstered, that’s why I’m at McDonalds right now in the first place."*
―Cara Mota to Josh Hogan[src]
Unlike Summer and Steven, Josh Hogan was a big fan of Mota, showing excitement at the prospect at meeting her face-to-face at Tower Placement School, saying that some of the most legendary machines are of her design. Although Summer thought Cara's humility sounded fake, Josh fervently disagreed, and when she introduced him and Steven to Gerald, he was excited to meet him, but he almost tripped when Cara told Gerald she'd been eyeballing him and that *"you'd be hard-pressed to find someone THAT manly"*, making his face burn.

 File:Cara and Josh.jpg
Steven Thompson also noticed that he had included heart emojis next to the three meetings Cara had arranged in his cell phone's alarm system: he was caught entirely off his guard when Mota had the Executioner stab him for his involvement with the School War and for attempting to expose the Godslayer. During the victory celebration following the unification of the two parties of the School War, Josh claimed that he admired "the legendary things she had made", but he had showed signs that he only admired her good looks and appreciated her stress chargers and didn't even know much about her beyond that, no matter what he said to the contrary. However, he may have researched her after she intercepted their search for Jarett Ruth. Also, when he claimed that he didn't like someone just because they're pretty, Trinity coughed the word, "Mota".

## Behind the scenes

* During the original production of the *Boys vs. Girls* trilogy in 2013, the character of Cara was less charming and more of a douchebag, with D. Isaac Thomas describing her as "more unhinged, violent, and delusional", as someone who let being famous go to her head and was constantly belittling "common civilians", and would directly affiliate with Emily Watson and want to destroy Tower Placement School due to incorrectly assuming an Orb-empowered Watson had already left the facility. In the trilogy's climax, Cara originally was going to die, with Josh Hogan shooting her in the head in the finale. The character was reworked because Thomas wanted her to fall more in line with the other villains in the franchise as someone whose personality was likeable to a degree and brought up genuine points about how flawed the cosmos was but just went way too far trying to fix things their own way. Hence, he stated that she was never meant to be seen as irredeemable, claiming that if Steven Thompson was not frequently around whenever innocent people died, then Cara Mota would have realized her murderous plans were completely insane and never tried to enact them at all. He also stated that Cara knew her theory sounded irrational but her mind was simply trying to make sense of the impossible scenarios she was witnessing. Unsurprisingly, she received a very warm reception from readers as a genuinely compelling villainess who, if anything, had enough to justify returning for a later conflict. This ultimately compelled Thomas to include her in the Vault Crisis, doubly confirming she will be in all three books of the upcoming *Vault of Ages* trilogy.
* Although Thomas once implied that Mota may have murdered her own father, it is unclear if he was serious or not, making the canonicity of said statement very ambiguous.

## Reception

Reviews have been positive of the character and the character's potential for the future, being described as a "fan-favorite". Chris praised Cara Mota as "the best part" of *The Fate of the Towers*, noting her "elastic, game-for-anything energy" and citing her as "the snarky rich kid we need and deserve". A FANDOM user named "annabeth is queen" concurs, praising the character claiming "I fell hard for the witty STEM genius girl who totally stole the whole show". Melissa Vaine found her character to be "extremely entertaining and vibrant", at one point joking that she is a perfect hybrid between Facebook CEO Mark Zuckenberg and fictional scientist Shuri from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Having been labeled as the DLU's smartest character (with Master Intelligence as an obvious exception), it is debated by readers due to several different factors whether she or the Magistrate is smarter.

## Author's comments

*"One of the smartest people in the star system by far, and she's only a seventeen-year-old girl…"*
*"What's great about Cara Mota is that she exists beyond the confines of the stereotypical nefarious villain. She's a complicated and sophisticated character whose intellect, wealth and prominence position her as one of the few non-mutates able to end the war however she would personally choose to. She presents herself with a welcoming, but frantic tech bro persona. Cara represents meaninglessness and the ego of mankind, which is jeopardized by the existence of the supernatural. Perhaps she's the first truly juvenile-minded supervillain: secular, arrogant, entitled, narcissistic, obsessive in her quest to tear down the values of the old guard. Her characterization is part of a commentary on our society's seemingly perpetual moral-spiritual-cultural conflict, with Cara herself representing the younger generation's rampant ego and lack of faith in humanity when compared to Steven, Josh, and Summer."*
*"Where's the indication that she's irredeemable? I'd say that if her supergenius mind could fathom any contradiction to the idea that whenever Steven's around, innocent people tended to get hurt, then Cara would've realized that ending the Clone Wars by hitting Kamino and Geonosis with a superlaser sounded completely insane and she would have shut up and stopped it. She knew her theory didn't sound rational, but her impossibly complex brain was simply trying to make sense of the impossible scenarios she saw every single day for the last year at least. And that's the general idea with the villains of this trilogy: they all sincerely believe that anybody could see that what they are doing is right."*
*"Fine, I'll admit her return is overdue. Talk about someone whose soul is as vibrant and innovative as their brain. This girl wants to take Sol to a new place. I'm so stoked to see her reception in the upcoming* Vault of Ages *trilogy, as her role in all three books may be bigger than you'd expect. Oh, you'll witness the truly tremendous extent of her full glory before you know it. All I'll spoil is this: her powerful mind and high fashion looks haven't gone anywhere. She may seem like a cute kid now, but in her adulthood, she's only going to get more and more captivating."*
## Trivia

* Cara Mota is one of very few villains in the *Boys vs. Girls* franchise who is never once punished in any shape or form for any of her villainous deeds. Emily Watson fell from a tower in an attempt to dishonorably wrench the upper hand in her climactic duel with Summer Petersen, Natalia Thornton was sentenced to two years in prison, the Black Queen's proxy form was destroyed by Steven Thompson from the inside, Longfellow was cursed by Arcus to wander into the forests and die "at the next vergence", Mr. Phee lost his control over Leah Hugh seemingly for good, Bernal was incinerated by an explosion provoked by his would-be victims of betrayal, and the Godslayer was detained by the authorities and arrested for her crimes against humanity.
* Cara is shown to be knowledgeable of the Chinese hand system when she used the gesture for "seven" when saying "seven days".
* Cara is the youngest person ever to be named Fortune's Businessperson of the Year and included on the magazine's list of the World's 50 Greatest Leaders.
* Although Cara Mota was running for president as early as 2025, it was Aaron Clinton who immediately succeeded Joe Biden, so it is unclear if she ever tried again.
