Character: Rose Lalonde / tentacleTherapist
Series: Homestuck (wiki)
Character Age: 13
Canon: Homestuck is the story of four kids, twelve alien trolls, and an immersive simulation game. This awesome game involves moving your friends' real, actual furniture around with a cursor, killing monsters for sweet loot, making yourself badass equipment, and climbing a lot of ladders. Of course, it also heralds the impending destruction of the world by meteors -- the real, actual world. The kids and the trolls don't play the game at the same time, on the same planet, or even in the same universe -- but that's not a problem for the game in question. Nor is it apparently a problem for their chat clients, Pesterchum and Trollian respectively, which can communicate beyond the bounds of spacetime.
Rose Lalonde enjoys knitting, creative writing, eldritch horrors from beyond this world, and psychoanalysis, and the latter two interests are the inspiration for her Pesterchum handle, tentacleTherapist. She is generally intelligent and self-aware in conversation, if a bit condescending, and she's known for her deadpan sarcasm, especially when dealing with trolls. Rose helps to get the game started right, but as things progress and she acquires knowledge from dreams, gods, and alternate selves from doomed timelines, Rose decides to work alone to find a way to break the system and prevent the inevitable failure that seems to be in their future. She even abandons work on her GameFAQ walkthrough, which nevertheless proves to be surprisingly useful to others, even if it is a bit melodramatic. Rose is dearly fond of purple prose, both figuratively and literally, and unlike the rest of her friends and their troll compatriots, she always types with flawless capitalization, punctuation and spelling.

TT: Well, if I had maintained any doubts over my location and by implication the unavoidable extinction in my future, the name of this place certainly reassures me.
TT: Reassures me that I am entirely correct, that is.
TT: Oh, I do hope my own handle isn't putting anyone off. I'm sure everyone here is wary of tentacles.
TT: I assure you, while I do have a rapport with the zoologically dubious that has on occasion been the subject of some concern, I don't actually possess said protuberances myself. For the moment, at least.
TT: ...
TT: That was a joke.
TT: I'm sure that the inevitable oblivion that faces all those who splinter from their alpha timeline is a fate limited to me. There, is that more reassuring?
TT: No one wants to interject any comments?
TT: To each their own. But please remember that denial is only a temporary defense, and is usually followed by even stronger feelings of distress.
TT: I personally have other endeavors to attend to. Even in the face of apparently inevitable doom, there's no sense in resting on our laurels.
TT: Even if said metaphorical laurels somehow symbolized failure and not victory.
TT: This is the most haphazard game I have ever had the dubious honor of experiencing, and I find it difficult to believe no one has even attempted to compose a decent walkthrough. Surely you don't expect new arrivals to wander around aimlessly until a veteran deigns to take pity on them?
TT: I'm making an attempt to rectify the situation, of course. It's a work in progress, of course, but I would certainly appreciate and take into due consideration input from any quarter.

TT: Here's my most recent addition. I'm attempting to keep it concise:

=======================================================================
[W003] Pre-emptive Warnings Part 3: Save that Boss for Later
=======================================================================
Assuming you have functioning eyes or an equivalent method of
perception, by now you've no doubt noticed one of the more unique
features of the area, that being the squid-like creature currently
residing atop a grain silo, extending tapered gelatinous appendages
towards all passers-by. I believe she has been gifted with the
admittedly less than imposing sobriquet of "Marcy". It's truly one of
the most ancient and least subtle ruses there is, and if you're
remotely familiar with the genre, or indeed if you have the common
sense you were born with, I assume you will have developed instincts
for this sort of thing and stayed well out of range. However, if you
are one of those who, when faced with an obvious provocation, placed
conveniently out of the way and doing no harm, that you have no
particular reason to engage, decides against all logic and reason to
approach...
Well, you're the one this section is here for.
Don't. You'll only regret it.
TT: But before anyone thinks they're clever: No, I am quite certain I do not need any "input" from Marcy.
