## Narrative Arc

### Phase 1-3

During the first phase, Louise was excited at the promise of being able to create a new society entirely from scratch, but her hopes were quickly replaced by cynicism once she realized that some villagers had other plans. After reflecting on the situation, she decided to claim the role of traitor, not to sabotage the hopes and dreams of the humans, but to try and lead to a society that she believed to be better, through force if necessary.

Phase 1 was also when she realized that the Togamis were completely opposed to her way of thinking, and she therefore viewed them as a threat. Catra being crowned queen of the humans, she obviously also saw her in an antagonistic way, although she did not state her wants for regicide publicly yet.

On the second phase, she settled in "village1", which became the Barracks. She shared this space with the Fillmores who she considered trustworthy at the time, as well as with her brother Diogenes, who shares very similar ideals with her.

The third phase was quite calmer, Louise and the others settling down and thinking about what to do next. She decided that she will go explore the beasts' side, telling the beasts about the Togamis, Catra, and general information about the humans, all while learning from the beasts.

### Phase 4-8

Phase 4 to 8 were quite uneventful for Louise, as she went around the Beast side of the map, talking to beasts about notable characters in their team, as well as in the Human's, such as the Togamis, Queen Catra and such. There, she continued the plan.

On phase 4, she talked to Garfield for the first time. It was a pleasant, albeit short interaction.

She eventually learned about a book that apparently belonged to the Togamis but that had ended up in the Beasts' territory. This was, for her, the best way to get rid of the threat that the Togamis posed, as she believed that it was of interest to them somehow. She decided to go looking for the book, although she never did find it. It was eventually revealed that the book served no purpose on its own, as it was a book about silverware that belonged to Ultimate S., the comically large spoon.

In phase 7, she decided to look around the outside of the Treehouse. However, she rolled a 1, and examined the Billy statue. She thought that she had seen it moving, and became convinced that the statue was alive for the entire game. It is unknown if Billy's statue was actually alive, or if this was intentionally misleading information due to her having rolled a natural 1.

### Phase 9-10

The end of Phase 8 marked a turning point for most of the game.The Conductor's explosion took out three people live for every beast to see. Erika's acts were also shown to the world of Beasts, who quickly alerted the humans during Phase 9.

Upon learning this, Louise set her eyes on killing Erika, before doing some reflection. She was only responsible for the death of Catra, a monarch. The rest of the deaths were on the Conductor's hands.

She decided against going on a witch hunt for Erika, preferring to bide her time until the opportunity to do something truly noteworthy showed up so that she may spread her ideals more efficiently. This marked a change from the beginning of the game where she wished to stay hidden. She now had her eyes set on what seemed, for her, to be the most obvious course of action: regicide.

She was told on Phase 9 Barracks that Jabba was in the area next to it, Bigass, and at the time it was widely thought by humans that Jabba was the Beast king. It was then that she decided that the best course of action for her was to murder a monarch, any monarch, beast or human, so she would get perceived by those who wished power as a threat, and to heavily damage the monarchist system put in place on both sides of the game. Luckily for her, Jabba did not move to Barracks on Phase 10. This was evidently a good event, as Jabba was not the actual Beast king, and his death would have led to nothing good for her.

She also learned to her surprise that Garfield was the current human monarch on Phase 9.

Phase 10 was an eventful phase, as Erika, who had just been declared a Beast by Diogenes (and thus she was so), moved into Barracks, along with a great amount of other characters, most of whom wished for her to be killed. Slugcat tried to mediate between them, as well as give a somewhat fair trial to Erika. Louise, in the meantime, declared to everyone that The Barracks were independent and open for anyone who wished to be free of the Monarchs of the world. Deep down, she actually wished to declare the Gamers headquarters independent, to give them a proper chance at attaining the independence from politics that they wanted, but the Barracks were her home area and she settled on that.

Brinelex had been told by Ahmaykmewsik, the GM, that Louise would only be able to declare an area independent officially by becoming a monarch. Louise, however, never wanted to become queen, and Ahmayk also told Brine that they would consider an area independent if enough players were informed about it via word of mouth. This was why Louise made her announcement public.

She did not participate to Erika's trial as she disagreed with the rule of the majority being used to decide on another person's right to live, even if said person had directly cause the death of another.

### Phase 11-13

After Erika had been beaten to a pulp on Phase 10, Louise stayed in the Barracks. The Fillmores, who she hadn't seen in a while, moved into the Barracks, as well as Garfield and Red Riding Hooded Mercenary, the former accusing the latter of having murdered Raiden. Other characters moved in as well, meaning that Phase 11 Barracks had 12 players in total, nearly half of all Anniversary players. Garfield had 2 hearts left. Louise decided that this was exactly the kind of opportunity she had been looking for.

During the Phase, she made allusions to doing something noteworthy, hinted at her being a human traitor, and other teasing remarks. Most of them were not noticed as the players were too busy arguing about more important matters, such as how to handle Red Riding Hooded Mercenary.

**AIMED AT GARFIELD!**

*- Ahmaykmewsik as the GM, Phase 11, Barracks.*

Although Garfield took the dead body of Erika to protect himself against incoming threats, Louise's rifle shot right through it. He fell to the ground, dead. This led to the Garfield's king ability being triggered, leading to Phase 12, where players were only allowed to communicate through images.

Garfield was viewed by everyone as a benevolent peaceful king, and his death led to Louise being viewed by everyone as a public enemy. Louise realized when she became the new Human monarch that this was actually not the case and simply a façade, Garfield having set the Human objective to "*Help Garfield become king of the humans and beasts and listen to his every command. Garfield has the final say on whether or not you completed this objective.*"

After Garfield's death, Brinelex was notified in their DMs by the GM that they had become the Human Queen. This took Brinelex by surprise as they had forgotten how the rules on passing the crown worked, and did not expect this outcome. They then realized that they could turn this to their advantage by killing themselves to abolish the monarchy on the Human side, but not before giving an inspiring speech in front of other players.

Louise was then confronted with Byakuya alone during Phase 12 Barracks. Both of them argued through images, Louise trying to explain the situation while Byakuya quickly realized that Louise was the current Human monarch. This phase cemented the smiling Troll face's association with Louise, Brinelex using said image to represent her throughout the arguing.

Louise and Byakuya agreed on a truce, and Louise decided to make her area officially independent through her newly-found queen powers. She believed that Byakuya was genuine when he told her that he wished to collaborate, as both of them were wanted, albeit for different reasons. He was actually lying to her, and stole her monarch-killing rifle while she was building a barricade out of the dead bodies of Garfield and Erika.

On Phase 13 Barracks, Louise faced off with a killing party formed of DJ Grooves and Tom. Byakuya had not moved as well, and clearly wanted to shoot Louise with her own gun. Louise quickly realized that she had lost her only way to kill herself, her gun, and moved on to another plan: if a beast killed her, the effect would be the same, as a member of team couldn't become a monarch by murdering the king of the opposite team. She therefore decided that she would let Tom and DJ Grooves murder her. The latter was shooting a movie, available for every player of the game to see. She saw the opportunity to give her speech in order to try and convince the characters that the current system was hurting them.

She used another one of her special queen-specific abilities to prevent Byakuya from killing her. Unfortunately for her, only DJ Grooves attacked, Tom preferring to pick up Garfield's dead body to bring it with him. She did not die at the end of Phase 13.

### Phase 14-15

Disappointed, angry, tired, still alive and a queen, Louise moved to Bigass for Phase 14. There, she was met by Darth Vader, Travis Touchdown, Diogenes, Jabba and other characters. At first, she begged for Jabba to kill her, before realizing that he clearly did not wish to do so. Travis Touchdown, who had placed Garfield on the throne for his objective, wanted to kill Louise, however he was a human and doing so would have led to him becoming the next king. As for Darth Vader, he wanted to kill an evil leader, and argued that Louise was french and therefore qualified as "evil".

Louise had run out of ideas, and was considering making her trusted brother, Diogenes, king of the Humans, before Travis suggested that she make Garfield king once more to fulfill his objective. The idea seemed absurd as Garfield was dead, but after asking Ahmayk, Brine was told that this was allowed. She decided to do so, as a dead king cannot rule over anything, and is therefore the same as if the Human team had no king.

Before giving away her crown, she decided to set the Human objective to "**Prevent Louise from killing Garfield."** to ensure that she would succeed with her traitor objective, which was to make sure the Team objective fails.

Phase 15 was Louise's last phase. She went back to the Barracks. She wished to rest and stay there until the end of the game, her goal of abolishing the monarchy having been fulfilled, and her only objective left being to stay in her independent area for one more phase. She confronted Byakuya once again there, who was shocked to learn that the current Human king was the dead corpse of a fat orange cat.

For her last action, she tried to dig graves for every body that was in the area so that she may bury them on the last phase. She failed to do so, rolling a natural 1, before being shot through the chest by Byakuya, who used a turret that was on the Barracks' wall. Shrieker then threw a bomb in the Barracks from the Togami Laboratory, killing Diogenes, Byakuya and A Spooky Ghost, and destroying the Barracks, which led to Louise and Diogenes' home objective failing.
