Character: Raspberyl
Series: Disgaea 3
Character Age: 1578, looks about… 10?

Canon: The Netherworld. Sounds like a pretty dark and bleak place, doesn't it? Yet there are hundreds of different Netherworlds of all types and shapes. Disgaea 3's Netherworld happens to be an expansive, ever-growing school called the Evil Academy, where demons learn to… behave like demons. At this particular academy students are praised as honor students for not attending class, the home economics teacher cooks himself to "experience what the food experiences," and within the older sections of the school lie condemned classrooms that nobody ever returns from alive. With such a dangerous school only the Overlord could be dean of this Netherworld, and his son is the number one honor student - an obnoxious, easily excitable brat who's never attended class a day in his life. While the main story details that number one honor's student's absurd quest to defeat his father to avenge his stepped-on video game system and ten million hours of saved data, they aren't nearly as important as the heroine of the game, Raspberyl!

Spunky, ambitious and cute as hell, Raspberyl is a demon delinquent that delights in shocking other demons with the worst things a demon could think of: proper etiquette and good will. She can often be seen regularly attending class, eating the leftovers of all the students that didn't attend lunch (all 30 of them…), performing community service and contributing to charity. She actively keeps a lookout for other people's problems and is more than happy to lend an earnest ear and offer sound advice, serving as a little big sister to the other members of her cast. Even worse, she bullies other demons into doing such atrociously good acts with her! With all this horribly constructive behavior, it's little wonder that she earned the reputation as the number one delinquent at the school. She takes great pride in this achievement and proudly announces herself as "the biggest badass on campus" while continually searching for more "badass" behavior so that one day she can earn the title [Legendary Delinquent].

Note: 4th wall breaking is so commonplace in Disgaea. It's practically a Netherworld pastime.

Sample Post:

Attention campers and monsters of CFUD! …NO I am NOT saying the full name! Saying a word like that is something an honor student would do and as you can see, I am way too badass to tarnish my reputation on something that stupid! Anyways-attention campers and monsters! Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Raspberyl, but please call me Beryl. While I may not be the star character of Disgaea 3, I am the heroine! Being the heroine means I'm the number one delinquent in the Netherworld, and you guys had better not forget it! In fact, I have kindly provided you all with copies of my report card. You will probably easily notice that I have made perfect grades in all my classes, but you also may have missed the little notes on the bottom which show that I have had perfect attendance and no detentions whatsoever! How's that for a totally badass introduction, huh?

I gotta say though, one of the first things I've noticed is a total lack of camper spirit. So like, OK, I know we all are trapped in a pretty annoying camp with no chance of escape and that there's nothing anybody can do about it, but that doesn't mean that we should just stop having fun and stand around moping all day! There are still plenty of clubs and activities that are available here. I should know: I've already joined them all! But I'm totally shocked that there are so few people at some of them! After all, who wouldn't want to join the Lake Ecology Club? Or the Virus of the Month Club? Or even better-you all should totally join the Lovers of Tuesday's Soup Club! There are lots of things for you guys to do, you just need to go out and do it! Carpe diem! Chop chop!

Still not getting motivated, huh? Yeah, I can understand you guys' frustration. I mean most of you had a pretty good thing going. How do I know? I read the camp roster, duh. Some of you are far from home, heck, some of you are far from your dimension. But don't think you're the only one! In fact, why don't you all just turn to your neighbor and give them a great big hug. I said hug, not badtouch... geez you guys… There… now doesn't that make you feel better? And that’s what's important: camps are supposed to bring people together. There is totally no reason why we couldn't have fun and learn too! We just have to figure out how to make the best out of a bad situation. So, the next time that one of your buddies has a limb chopped off, just think to yourself "Hey! This is the perfect opportunity to try out my first aid!"

Now as for the monsters here, you guys are totally on the road to proper honor student behavior. But I want you guys to think: is this what I really want? There's a whole other way to live that many of you may not even know about! I know how it goes, I've been there and can totally relate! You probably felt pangs of guilt whenever you gave someone atomic wedgies or peed in somebody's cereal, but with all the other monsters doing the same thing it must have been hard for you to try anything else. But don't worry; now that I'm here we can totally do some good in this camp! So don't feel too weird if you ever wanted to help the campers. It's okay, really. Like you zombies-yeah, I know you want brains, but it's not like you're using the organs you already have. Why not put them to good use and donate them? There are lots of people that would be thrilled to have a new liver, or maybe even a heart! Isn't that a totally badass way to live?

Finally-Marcy. Marcy, Marcy, Marcy. It's clear that you're obviously the big honor student in camp, so I won't make you stop doing what you're doing. We all have to follow our own paths, and I know that being a badass delinquent isn't for everyone. But maybe I can suggest a good after-rape mint to offer your victims? After all, a little courtesy goes a long way!
