Pauline
Pastry-fueled enlightenment!
Pauline is a contestant of Crab Tournament II, as a member of Tea Party. She is a regular sweet college girl working as a patisserie waitress. She is trying her best!
Appearance
Personality
Pauline is a cheerful, but thoughtful individual. She tends to get too immersed into her own thoughts, yet shows a lot of determination to win. Because her rounds were often light hearted she had a good time during most of CRAB up until the terrible wake up call of having to face an assassin for the final round. Despite her frustration and fear, in the end she showed great determination to continue fighting and has stood up against opponents such as Maiden 4 or Boberon, showing great gall.
She got along well with pretty much everyone but especially with Amy and she managed to get the demon girl out of her depression with sweets.
Powers and Abilities
Pauline is a normal girl and has absolutely no powers. She does possess a lot of resolve and courage in order to confront the odds against her.
She possesses a wristwatch from her parents and a good luck charm from a friend of hers called Laura. Neither do anything special. She is however skilled in cooking and has a big stomach.
In the final round, the Gamemaster granted her a gun, which she would hold later in life during a date with a boy. Having the gun counted as her most powerful form, though she was too nervous to properly use it it was still as effective as any gun would be.
Background
History
Round 1
Cassia Rapsodia (lost, entry) vs Pauline (won, entry) in Table Tennis. Match page: C2 R1 - Cassia Rapsodia vs Pauline
In Cassia’s reality, Cassia served first using magic to empower her throws.
In Pauline’s absurdly long and canon reality, she was not excited to play as her only experience was being defeated by her dad. Cassia got to serve first, and she gave Pauline a handshake for a good game. Cassia used an advanced reverse grip but ended up messing it up and scoring against herself. She tried again and once more got a point against herself, relaxing Pauline. The Gamemaster interceded then turning the story into storyboards. Pauline served, but Cassia managed to respond well to the very low paced game and got the score back to 3-2 by simplifying her grip. As they played, Cassia gained confidence and started countering Pauline, leading to 8-4 on her favor. Her secret was just alternating corners. Pauline focused and remembered her dad telling her to be less stiff, and jumped, getting a point. By moving more, she managed to make it 9-8 still in Cassia’s favor. Cassia then decided to use “that”. That being a spin, but Pauline quickly adapted taking the game to a draw. As Cassia started sweating and thinking strategies on how to win, Pauline started changing and just enjoying herself and ultimately got the win. Her team celebrated and Pauline helped Cassia up, who promised to show her next time that she would be the best ping pong player ever. Pauline noted she had the resolve but she had lost track of something there.
Round 2
Nathan and Boberon (lost, entry) vs Amy and Pauline (won, entry) in Pattiserie. Match page: C2 R2 - Nathan and Boberon vs Amy and Pauline
In France, Pauline took the hat, Amy became older, Nathan became a woman and Boberon took the hat.
Pauline and Amy competed in patisserie-eating against Nathan and Boberon. Despite Boberon threatening the girls and even intimidating Pauline, they proved to be superior at ingesting sweets and obtained the victory.
Round 3
Maiden 4 (won, entry) vs Pauline (lost, entry). Match page: C2 R3 - Maiden 4 vs Pauline
Pauline was matched against Maiden 4 for the final battle. In her timeline, despite her despair at her obviously unequal match up, she managed to trick Maiden 4 into breaking her mask and pushed through her mass. Faced with Maiden 4’s memories, Pauline persisted and managed to push the assassin outside of the arena.
In the canon, Maiden 4 timeline, Pauline decided to fight too, despite the uneven odds, only to be slammed against the arena and thrown off-panel by Maiden 4. Landing on a different board, Pauline rode an anon’s car and used it to hit the assassin, using the opportunity to finally break her mask. Though Maiden 4 proceeded to gain the advantage quickly after that, ultimately the Blast Rites champion found no will to continue fighting Pauline, seeing her as having the life she would have wanted, and quit the match on her own.
After Crab 2
Like every other Crab after Chadwick won Pauline was trapped in Eternal Crab, fighting in tournaments for years. Pauline now guards the box on which Bear is kept locked for his transgressions.
After the events of Crab 3 she was returned to her world without memories thanks to Berbie’s sacrifice.
Relationships
Life Within CRAB
She got along with her team and especially Amy who she went to eat sweets with.
