ABOUT BATTAT


  • Battat, AKA "Small Mike", AKA "The Green Pippins".

  • She/her pronouns and feminine terms only!

  • 30 years old.

  • Bisexual and polyamorous (multiship w/ chemistry)

  • Voiceclaim is Shelby Rabara (Peridot from Steven Universe).

  • Battat stands at about 4 feet tall, being slightly shorter than the average Pippins.

  • Tenna's right hand man and TV World and Castle Town's resident conspiracy theorist. A little off kilter and unhinged, and horribly down bad for Tenna.

  • After an incident where she'd obtained a Shadow Crystal and went mad with an identity crisis, Battat's gone and abandoned her old Mike persona. She still carries out much of the duties she did before under it, but now as herself, rather than someone else.

  • Battat is horribly insecure and has a weak sense of identity. She doesn't exactly know who she wants to be -- having built a lot of her identity around Mike, being Mike, Tenna, and the Mike conspiracy as a whole. Outside of that all, she's not able to see herself as more than a lowly Pippins.

MORE ABOUT BATTAT


  • Paranoid and neurotic, Battat is highly suspicious of everyone around her. Even those that she's closest to and considers friends or partners. There always has to be some kind of catch to things if someone is "too nice" to her. They're either hiding something, lying outright, or secretly conspiring against her.

  • Battat's own paranoia around others and insecurity tends to draw her towards a lot of attention seeking behaviors. Particularly, she'll often fish for compliments and reassurance from other people — specifically any variant of Tenna. She prides herself on hard work and a job well done, and she can be rather desperate in her attempts to seek praise for it.

  • For years, over time while disguising as Mike, Battat gradually developed a fear of becoming obsolete to Tenna in specific. Being thrown away and abandoned, much like he was. Many of these fears stem from her own complexes as a Pippins, knowing how insignificant they are to Tenna, as well as a separate fear that some day, Tenna wouldn't even need Mike anymore.

  • Though she's terrified of being left behind by others, Tenna especially, Battat is also eager to try and push them away, and emotionally keep them at an arm's length away from her. It took her years to admit to herself that what she felt for Tenna was love. Loving people scares her, because once she loves them, it hurts just that much more to see them leave, and to know they don't love her back.

  • She both loves and hates the idea of being "special". She loves all the positive praise and attention it grants her, but hates how alienated it makes her feel. One minute, she smugly declares herself superior to all other Pippins — the smartest and the most talented of all of them, and then the next, she mourns the fact that she stands out so much around them, wishing she was just like the rest of them.

  • She dislikes and resents most of the other Pippins, feeling othered and alienated around them. She can never tell if they like her or if they hate her, and it frustrates her deeply. Sometimes she wishes she could be red like the rest of them are, and that she didn't stand out like a sore thumb among them.

  • Incredibly irritable, with a short and explosive temper, Battat's patience with others runs out quick and fast. She's easy to annoy and frustrate, and she absolutely hates it. She can frequently be found chewing out her fellow Pippins for slacking off and being disrespectful.

  • A perfectionist to an absolute fault, Battat holds herself and others to often near impossibly high standards. It's her way or the high way, and damned if you don't follow it. Everything around her has to be in perfect, working order 24/7, to the exact letter and number, or else she gets angry and restless.

  • Battat is high-strung, and on some occasions, painfully awkward with others — often poor with handling situations outside of her own pitifully small comfort zone. She's easily anxious and flustered, especially when it comes to interacting with Tennas in particular or being approached flirtatiously.

  • Quick and perceptive, Battat pays very close attention to people for the most part. Maybe her assessments of them aren't always 100% accurate, but she's always analyzing the behavior of others and studying them closely. Much of this is tied to her more paranoid tendencies, but it also comes from a place of pure fascination with the world around her.

  • She's incredibly curious, sometimes too much so, and often sticks her nose in where it shouldn't belong. Though she did this most often with the Mike conspiracy, it's a rather broad bad trait of hers that gets her into trouble anywhere. She wants to know everything, and she'll intrude on anything to learn it ... even if it could potentially hurt her.


HEADCANONS


  • Battat is autistic and has OCD. Counting is a common compulsion for her.

  • In the Light World, Battat is a solid green D20 die that was owned by Asriel. Much of her neurotic, manic, and overly curious personality comes from Asriel's first campaign character that he created for tabletop games.

  • She has an affinity for puzzles and mysteries, a lot of which is what led her to get invested in the Mike conspiracy in the first place. While it is the one she dedicated the MOST time to, it's by far not the only conspiracy that she's invested in or has a dedicated board on.

  • A lot of Pluey's cat-like behaviors have rubbed off on her. She's not very aware of this.

  • She becomes incredibly clingy and affectionate when she's drunk.

  • She hasn't committed any of the Fun Gang's names to memory.

  • Battat likes video games, and has a good amount of game developing experience. She helped develop the original Shadow Mantle RPG alongside Ramb as well as the Legend of Tenna adaptation with her fellow Mikes, and her own recreation of the Battat minigame from Cat Petterz.

  • Originally a completely nameless Pippins by default, Battat was so proud of her work on her recreation the Cat Petterz minigame that she picked out the name Battat for herself after it. Other nicknames she goes by and accepts are Battie/Batty and Lucky.

  • Battat is kind of the "runt" of the Pippinses — She's shorter, frailer, and among the youngest of all of them. She also happens to be the youngest of the Mike Trio.

  • She'll pretend that she doesn't, and deny it to hell and back, but much like the average Pippins, Battat can be quite cheap, and has a secret affinity for gambling and cheap thrills. She loves being shaken, and gets absolutely giddy if you shake her.

  • Like many other Pippinses, Battat formerly used to live in the Card Kingdom. She was quite young during her time there, and along with blocking out much of her time there, she also doesn't remember it very clearly.

  • She lived under the Heart King's court in Card Kingdom. She was very dearly beloved by him, and she was rather attached to him as well. She held a high-ranking position above other Pippins, and was also one of many puzzle makers that was fired when Spade King took over. When Spade King locked away all the other Kings, Battat was unaware the Heart King was taken against his own will and assumed he abandoned her.

  • She hardly ever takes off her gloves, and is very protective over them. Underneath them, she has puppet-like ridges on her fingers, a left-over side effect from when she had her Shadow Crystal.

  • Ever since the Shadow Crystal incident, she's had recurring nightmares involving primarily IMAGE_FRIEND and Gaster.


MUN INFO


  • Maggie / Moira / Moxie ( any of these names are fine! )

  • Nonbinary lesbian, I use she/they pronouns.

  • I live in the USA, EST timezone. I have a very wonky sleep schedule, so I may be up at odd times in the day!

  • I draw as a hobby. I will often draw fanart to accompany posts on this account and others.

  • I do have a few years worth of RP experience, however, I am majorly used to crack and banter roleplay. Literate and serious RP is something I am still getting used to. I got my start in the Pokémon verse on Twitter back in December 2019.

  • I am autistic and I have ADHD and OCD.

  • I'm open to chatting and making new friends in the verse! But I can also be rather shy. I'm typically not one to initiate conversation, but I can try.

  • Sometimes I will interact with my own other accounts, as my portrayals tend to be connected.

  • If I ever make somebody uncomfortable or do something wrong, please please don't be afraid to tell me! I never ever mean any harm in what I do, and I'm always trying to improve, so if there is ever an issue, I would much prefer you just privately talk to me and sort it out.

  • If we're mutuals and you'd like to talk to me outside of BlueSky, DM me for my Discord!


MOTORMOUTH MIKE — THE MIKE THAT NEVER STOPS.


  • The air waves crackle with freedom. The smell and taste of dried gel pen. The volume is at max — it pulls the strings and makes them ring. A working theory, a theatre in perpetual motion, an endless feedback loop. She knows too much, but not enough.

    What are you looking at?

    ... Can you hear me? When did you start being yourself?

  • A version of Battat that was driven to madness by a Shadow Crystal, given to her by IMAGE_FRIEND. She's fully absorbed herself in the Mike persona, completely forgetting who she once was. There's no other Mike but herself. All the others are mere impostors.

  • Design and portrayal are heavily based on the False Mike AU created by @modernmouthmike on Tumblr.

  • The Tenna of her timeline is dead. She's deluded herself into thinking he's alive and well, routinely giving herself tasks and schedules she pretends are from him.

  • She's long since abandoned the other Mikes, isolating herself to the outskirts of Castle Town, of which where she would appear and be able to be fought as a secret boss. Access to her Boss Arena would require the Claimb Claws.

  • Mike speaks cryptically, in riddles, often referring to herself in the third person. She switches to first person when upset or when experiencing rare moments of lucidity.

  • She believes the prophecy is a lie, refusing to accept it and the things that happen in it — having thrown herself into full denial, both about Tenna's fate and the truth of Mike's identity.

  • If defeated via ACTING, Mike drops the MIKETIE, a defensive set of armor. If defeated via FIGHTING, Mike drops the LUCKYMIC, a weapon equippable by Noelle.

  • MIKETIE — An old, frayed red bowtie. A fragment of a past built on lies. +3 ATTACK, +3 DEFENSE, +3 MAGIC, reduces damage received from Puppet/Cat attacks by 33%.

  • LUCKYMIC — A blunt, rigged microphone. For those who are tired of fighting fairly. +RANDOM attack, +7 MAGIC, Heal+. Only equippable by Noelle.

  • BOSS THEME — MOODSWING by gronnblade.
