Trendy

Trendy is a minor character in Brambly Boundaries (Monument 14). Trendy is a 1st year Music Student in Brien Academy's University music theory and practice course as well as taking a Minor in Fashion.

Trendy has minor interactions with most of the Protagonists but ultimately doesn't contribute much.

## Appearance

Trendy has yellow eyes and blonde hair, she's of an average height and has a tan complexion. Her hair is short but styled in fashionable or complex ways, at least more complex than combing it would be.

Trendy's appearance changes on a weekly basis, she considers herself the absolute height of Fashion and will change her outfit entirely depending on what she considers to be cool at the time. These outfits are often very gaudy and garish displaying pieces such as bright sparkling dresses, large faux fur coats, oversized hats or even what some claim are Halloween outfits such as her Cowgirl outfit.

## Personality

Trendy, like her Contract would suggest, is a Hipster and a walking contradiction. She claims to know the most obscure music, which is by default the best as well as being what she calls "The flagship of fashion" by wearing brand new designs or recycling old obscure ones.

Trendy lauds her superiority in taste above others but can be easily swayed into believing what she's listening to or wearing is actually becoming the Mainstream. This causes her to change her appearance and music as soon as possible.

Trendy has a large ego about herself but has some form of compassion and sense of right and wrong by refusing to fight or eat animal products due to her stance against animal abuse and violence.

## Hey Hipster

Hey Hipster is a naturally occurring Contract that manifests itself as a large robotic humanoid with a blank slate for a face. The head wears a glamorous purple top hat with two star shaped sunglasses placed on its face. Large beautiful peacock feather make up its high-worn collar on a pink, unbuttoned top underneath a long flowing dressing-gown/cloak made of a soft purple material with a cyan boa attached to the top and bottoms. Rose cufflinks surround its wrists and zirconium studded jinco jeans complete Hey Hipster's look.

Hey Hipster's ability is to make people believe that something is either 'cool' or 'not cool'.

Hey Hipster has no stated range or maximum number of affected people but its ability is not very strong. It merely affects a person's outlook on a particular thing that only occurs for as long as Trendy uses its power. The ability to make people believe that something is 'cool' does not seem to elicit particularly strong emotions from a large group of people nor does the 'not cool', with the strongest emotion someone displayed in a crowd of 6 was mild dislike towards the Sandwich that Hey Hipster was targeting. Hey Hipster's ability is slightly stronger on a single individual like when it was used to enter a nightclub by convincing the bouncer that Trendy was 'Cool' causing them to lower their guard around her and show approving, positive emotions towards them.

Despite its obvious benefit, Trendy dislikes using Hey Hipster on herself claiming that the reactions she would get would be 'Fake' preferring to garner feelings of genuine admiration towards herself. Despite this, Trendy has also displayed herself using Hey Hipster when met with a genuine reaction she strongly disagrees with, claiming her use of the ability to be her "correcting" the individual.

Hey Hipster's ability wears off an hour after Trendy stops using it.

## Trivia

* Hey Hipster is a reference to the song of the same name from sElf's album "Super Fake Nice".
* Trendy is likely a re-incarnation or reference to Trendy McCool from Monument 11: Reverie Under a Violet Blanket. Both have the same contract and portray a similar personality as well as the shared name between them. They are, however, different people.
