Empress Buddy

"I was meant to rule Olathe!"

Buddy Armstrong is one of the protagonists of the Indie-RPG game series known as *LISA*.

In the end of the expansion for *LISA: The Painful*, titled LISA: The Joyful, she becomes the ruler of Olathe.

## Backstory

### LISA: The Painful

The story takes place many decades into the future, where a catastrophic event causes every female human to mysteriously disappear, the world becomes a barren wasteland, simply known as Olathe. One day, a man known as Brad Armstrong finds an abandoned baby, that baby would grow up to be Buddy. He takes the child as one of his own and raises her in his Hutt with his friends. Many years later, Brad returns home only to find that Buddy had been kidnapped, and his friends had also disappeared with her, except for Cheeks, who was mortally wounded, as he told Brad that someone had kidnapped her, and that his other friends are trying to save her.

Brad is now on a quest to save Buddy, along the way, Buddy realizes that Brad had ruined her life, due to him being overprotective. It all ends with Brad facing off against an army of bandits, he manages to kill nearly all of them at an inhumane rate, he dies as Buddy stares at his nearly deceased corpse, that mutates into a monstrous being.

### LISA: The Joyful

Shortly after that, Buddy's story gets a continuation after a DLC update known as *LISA: The Joyful*. Buddy becomes acquaintances with Rando, one of the head honcho's of Olathe, Buddy suddenly becomes power-hungry and kills every big name in Olathe to prove her dominance. Buddy and Rando also turn out to somewhat be related, as Rando was once adopted by Brad when he was a weak child. Some other hijinx occurs until Rando dies after being ruthlessly attacked, Buddy buries his body and moves onwards.

The game ends with Buddy taking on the mastermind behind all of this, Dr. Yado, and it is revealed that Buddy became bloodthirsty due to her consuming "Joy Pills" in the previous game, which causes people to go after their deepest desires without hesitation, this is what made Brad so over-protective, as he too consumed the pills, which caused him to never want to let go of Buddy, after what had happened to his sister many decades ago. The Pill will slowly mutate whoever consumes it. In one last standoff, Buddy defeats Dr. Yado and is given a choice, between mutating into an undefeatable monster, or taking a vaccine pill to cure it. Whilst in the game, the mutated ending is portrayed to be the worse of the two, the "good" ending can be interpreted as a more "BEF Worthy" ending, as Buddy takes the vaccine and becomes the ruler of Olathe.

After becoming the Empress of Olathe, we can assume that Buddy calls out the remnants of scientists within Olathe, to reverse engineer the Joy Pills to recreate a vaccine, Buddy does this as a contingency plan to use the pills to eliminate all those who oppose her, and after it's dealt with, she could just simply take the vaccine pills, and do it all again. Buddy *is* a sadistic and terrible person afterward, even without the pills or the throne.

She'd later join The Bad End Friends after some *shenanigans* with Genocide Frisk.

## Profile

### Appearance

Buddy wears a white tank top under her Pink Poncho, and overlayed with Brad's brown Poncho. The Pink poncho has a darker shade of pink as its trim, whilst the Brown poncho has a lighter brown as its trim. Her left eye is bandaged after it was attacked by Cheeks's father, Mr. Angoneli, who is somehow still alive despite his age. Sticky's father believes that by attacking Buddy and scarring her face, he will be doing something historical. Buddy wears Black./Dark Brown pants, and has Dark Brown/Black Combat boots.

In the game, she has a White skin tone, however, she's mostly portrayed with a Tan skin tone by many pieces of fan-art. As mentioned, she had a scar on her left eye, and it is still visible outside of the bandage. She has long dark hair, and she has black eyes, but she's also portrayed with red eyes from other fan-art.

### Personality

Buddy has consistent Mood swings, apparent by her overuse of Joy pills, she has caused multiple infighting within the group, but she makes up for it due to her sheer raw strength. She's mostly angry and narcissistic when she's on Joy Pills, but when she isn't, she's calm and collected, even showing a bit of redemption on extremely rare occasions. The only person in the group who is always on her side is Genocide Frisk, as they act like siblings.

Buddy sometimes has nightmares and visions/hallucinations (possibly due to the pills), she see's Olathe in ruins, graves scattered across the lands as far as the eye can see, hoardes of mutated humans bowing down to her name, which is now at the very top of the list of Olathe's warlords. Buddy isn't sure if she's afraid or proud of this, she wants to feel overjoyed, yet it feels off.

## Trivia

* The art on the infobox is made by ノラサメくん/3m-0I (Norasame-kun) on *Twitter*.
* Whilst it is implied, Buddy and Genocide Frisk aren't the same duo from the M.A.P. Project, Interlopers. Rather, a similiar event occured to both of them, yet it isn't the exact same thing as they are slightly different from their Interlopers counterparts, and the outcome led to Buddy joining the ranks of The Bad End Friends.
* Dr. Yado is actually Buddy's father.
	+ He also reveals her name is actually Nancy.
		- This would make her birth name "Nancy Yado."
