Description
(At least the lack of real patterns of an insane and overambitious nature meant that lineart only took a day here - have some palette-swaps: sta.sh/21xc0n3gcrlg?edit=1 =3 )
Or: "Appropriate Alliterations About Gyaru Are... Okay I Don't Have Any "A" Words For That Joke, Either"
Or: "No, Being Overwhelmed By The Hair Spray Is Not One Of Her Attacks"
Tiffany Brody admits to fitting a few roles of the gyaru stereotype, though she'd never say so out loud. Not due to any sort of shame, mind you, but more due to a massive throat injury that has rendered her unable to speak, an injury that she tends to cover up with a scarf and the injury being of origins that Tiffany doesn't care to talk about - she now does her talking via text message and similar visual signage.
Whatever the injury's origin, though, she's toned down her hedonistic ways a few notches since, and has used her new injury to reinvent herself as a more intimidating, always-silent tough lady who's not to be messed with again.
This isn't to say that she's completely thrown away her old personality, though. She's still got a massive thing for what she openly refers to as "cherry-boy types", has an intuition that's good at picking them out, and is quick to make moves whenever she sees a target of interest. After all, it's still a fun time for her, and she's always had fun with that part of her stereotype, naysayers be left behind to watch the fun.
Still, despite her fun-loving nature and her love of standing out in a crowd wherever she goes, she's very straightforward and blunt, and isn't afraid to let her opinions be known - and with her new inability to directly tell creeps to fuck off, she's grown quick to raise her fists so that they can say so for her.
...almost makes it too easy to see her as a potential enemy... :3
TIFFANY
--Tiffany's very much the strong, silent type. While by no means afraid to get up in your face, she's in no hurry to do so. Don't assume it's her being passive; she may just be setting you up to send you to the floor while you're not looking. And be careful - she's not silent by choice, so if you get to see why she's not talking, you've really pissed her off.
Fighting style:
--Tiffany tends to attack based on whatever else is going on in the battle zone, preferring to deal heavy blows while you're distracted if at all possible. Still, don't take her lightly, as she becomes significantly more aggressive when she's either alone or has taken a notable amount of damage.
Attacks:
A) At close range, Tiffany will rear back, then throw a hard punch into your stomach. It deals moderate damage and stuns you briefly. It takes her a moment to wind up.
B) At moderate-close range, Tiffany will raise her leg, and throw a massive thrusting front-kick at your face. It deals very heavy damage and knocks you over. It has notable windup and cooldown, but she's aware of that.
C) At close range, Tiffany will grab you, lift you above her head, and bodyslam you. It deals very heavy damage, and she likes to do this if she notices that you've been stunned somehow. (See attack A.)
D) At long range, Tiffany will stoop down slightly, and charge straight forward with her arms crossed in front of her face. She will charge straight through you and knock you over if she connects, for moderate damage.
E) If you're facing away from Tiffany, she'll grab you and put you in a rear naked chokehold. Tap in the button combination on the screen to escape it, and do so quickly - it deals heavy damage over time, and she WILL NOT break the hold of her own volition.
--Once Tiffany's at roughly half of her health, she'll take off her scarf and look noticeably angrier. She'll also get a speed boost, and her windups and cooldowns get reduced.
Anger A) This replaces Attack E. Tiffany will whip her scarf at you, and if it connects, it'll wrap around your neck, and Tiffany will run in, punch you to spin you around (which does moderate, unavoidable damage) and strangle you with it from behind. Tap in the button combination on the screen to escape it (it'll be longer than it is for Attack E), and do so quickly - it deals VERY heavy damage over time, and she WILL NOT break the hold of her own volition.
Anger B) If you're knocked down, Tiffany will kick you while you're down. It deals moderate damage, but if you don't get up, she'll keep doing it.
Tiffany's variants have all of the attacks listed, at all times. However, they tend to follow slightly different mixes of AI scripts depending on their palette-swap and difficulty setting (with more of them using scripts they don't normally use as things get harder). The scripts go as follows:
A) If alone, try to stick to close-range attacks. Will not use Attack B until she's hit you with A a couple of times. Might still go for Attack D if you get too far away.
B) If others are present, try to hang back and look for opportunities to use Attack D.
C) If others are present, stay close and look for opportunities to sneak in Attack C or E.
Anger) When health reaches a certain level, forget everything above and just go all-out at close range.
Controlled Anger) Same as above, but look for opportunities to use Attack D if there are other enemies present for distraction purposes.
Victoria is the most dangerous of the bunch. She STARTS with the Anger Mode boosts, though she still has to be damaged enough to be angered into actually using the Anger attacks.
