**Regina Wrensworth**, known as **Dr. Reginald Bushroot** or simply **Bushroot** post-mutation, was once a waitress in Trudi's Diner who put herself through mutation to receive a part on the *Darkwing Duck* TV show. Unfortunately, due to the instability of the mutation, Regina lost control of herself and became what was described by many as a monster. She recently joined F.O.W.L under the authority of Negaduck.

## Personality

### 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

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, at 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, and even sat down with her afterwards to treat her to a coffee. Regina was later cornered by 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, returns home, facing the utter chaos, destruction, and ruin her life had become, all because of...Darkwing. She swore revenge.

Stealing her sister's experimental grafter that "Beauty and the Beet" was meant to parody, 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 6 months, 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.

30 years later, Jim Starling (as Negaduck) broke her out, in exchange for her membership in F.O.W.L under his command. She accepted, and has worked under him 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 F.O.W.L. to calm her down: electrocution, which amazingly will not kill her, but weaken her.

## Relationships

### **Dan Quackfielder**

Dan was Regina's fiancee and friend from grade school. He eventually left after she neglected him for a full week in order to win Jim Starling's wager.

### **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.
