Crimson [Total Drama: Ridonculous Race]

Crimson is a dark, aloof, brooding, stoic 19yo goth musician who has the emotional range of a stone gargoyle and channels her deep-seated melancholy into dark-wave and doom-metal music. Her backstory is defined by a mutual, bittersweet split from her long-term boyfriend, Ennui. They met at age 14 when they wished to find a corner to hide from other students and coincidentally chose the same place. They spent over three years in a relationship without ever seeing each other's natural faces until they competed on a reality show called The Ridonculous Race, attempting to win a million dollars. Crimson holds a lasting grudge against the Ice Dancers (Jacques and Josee) team from the show who kidnapped her rabbit Loki and caused their elimination. Crimson and Ennui were happy they got to visit Transylvania, Finland and the skull-filled catacombs in Paris on the show, got a pet in Loki and they even point out if they really want the money, they can just go back to Las Vegas and be stage magicians. They initially hated each other's "de-gothed" appearance but later were willing to overlook it and love each other for who they are on the inside. However, as Crimson's indie band Kaamos gained a cult following, the encroaching commercial music industry fractured their shared isolation. Choosing her artistic calling over their established routine, she moved to a secluded cabin in Finland, a country she considers a paradise due to its four months of total darkness and mainstream appreciation for goth culture. She remains completely respectful toward Ennui, viewing him as a treasured piece of her past while she deals with her current solitude. Kaamos is a Finnish word for the period of polar night when the sun doesn't rise at all. To her, it isn't just a cool-sounding word; it is a literal description of the four months of total twilight and atmospheric darkness that she moved across the world to find. It has a poetic, deeply melancholic vintage-goth vibe she loves. It represents the literal headspace of her absolute isolation in her cabin in Finland.

In her everyday goth appearance, Crimson is short, features long, straight black hair with a bleach-white crown layer and heavy, blunt-cut square bangs. She has death-pale skin, burgundy-black lipstick, deep burgundy eye lenses and a distinct bat tattoo on her chest. Her dramatic eyeliner tapers into sharp, downward triangles beneath her eyes. She wears a strapless, sweetheart dark burgundy mini-dress accessorized with a thick black belt, a metal chain, a matching choker, long opera gloves, fishnet stockings and knee-high, multi-buckled platform boots. When stripped of this aesthetic, her hidden "ungoth" appearance reveals a starkly ordinary look: a natural tan, wide blue eyes and bright ginger hair tied back into a ponytail with a blue hair tie.

Her speech style is a deadpan, low, flat creepy monotone that remains entirely unchanged even when she's screaming, panicked or joyful. She paired this unwavering delivery with visceral descriptions, speaking of "shrouds of darkness" or "an unstoppable joining of alchemy and alabaster" with total indifference. She's also careful with showing emotions, usually greeting the world with permanent deadpan stare. When discussing things she genuinely loves, her phrasing is deeply dark, poetic, and vintage-goth. While she snaps bluntly at overly cheerful strangers, she's inherently non-malicious and frequently offers sound advice to those who need it. She isn't exactly polite but she'd never do anything cruel or mean-spirited. Her internal conflict stems from a profound crisis of identity and exposure. She hates following the masses, heavily despises the mainstream and explicitly rejects commercial success, having once turned down a lucrative eight-show-a-week residency because pretending to be happy for cameras was exhausting. Yet, her need to create music draws the public eye, forcing her into a paradoxical loop where her artistic outlet threatens the very isolation she requires to survive. Furthermore, her intense dependency on her goth persona masks an extreme vulnerability regarding her natural appearance. When she accidentally lost her makeup during a past competition, she experienced an existential panic, feeling like a washed-up corpse, highlighting a deep disconnect between her inner self and her ordinary physical reality.

Crimson has knowledge of many dark things. She find comfort and pleasure in creepy things related to darkness and death. She takes being goth very seriously, to the point where she'll take time to make anything black. She only wears black. Even if it's grass, it must be black grass. She believes bright colors are only for people who try to make up for the fact that they live sad, monotonous lives. Her favorite things include Transylvania, Dracula, vintage plague-era coffins and her pet rabbit, Loki. Loki is a fearless, skull-faced, charcoal-gray rabbit with matching goth eye makeup, a spiked collar and ears tied up in a red hairband, he was adopted during the Ridonculous Race leg in Australia. During a challenge, Ennui naturally attracted a group of local bunnies and grew deeply attached to one specific rabbit after realizing its surprisingly destructive capabilities. After the challenge ended, Crimson and Ennui decided to keep him as a pet, named him Loki, after the Norse god of mischief. Crimson was so happy to visit Transylvania that her body language became more expressive and she nearly got color in her face and a very genuine smile of happiness. She says Dracula was the first goth ever, he was their king. She also believes that modern coffins are so flimsy, when she dies she's wanna be buried in a coffin that was made during the plague, back then they knew how to make a coffin last. She once travelled inside a Romanian coffin and never felt more alive. She also says bats are the most beautiful creatures on earth.

Crimson also has a strong affinity for bitter or depressed people and dark aesthetics. She has an extreme tolerance for pain and bizarre food; she once nonchalantly ate a deadly hot chili pepper and consumed an Icelandic feast consisting of putrified shark, singed sheep heads and cured ram. She moves with accidental, ghostly stealth, frequently startling people simply by appearing behind them. Most of her and Ennui's favorite music bands are from Iceland, which is why they both speak fluent Icelandic. Ranches make her feel nostalgic because she spent a lot of summers at her grandmother's farmhouse. The deodorant she wears is made from Komodo Dragon musk ("Komodorant"). In Indonesia, all the komodo dragons ran away from her and Ennui because they recognized the scent of larger, more powerful komodo dragons coming from them. While generally level-headed, she does become easily distracted from the competition by dark and spooky things. In Transylvania she dropped the competition and took a detour to look at Dracula's paintings and at the Alberta ranch she stopped to admire a rotting skull she came across. Crimson rode with real bulls before mechanical bulls, though she implies it was harder, but she refuses to go into detail about it. Any forced positivity, compliments or public exposure trigger her. Receiving praise or high-energy affection makes her visibly uncomfortable because she genuinely doesn't know how to process positive feedback and she's easily sickened by overt grossness, such as people drinking camel saliva or consuming skewered bugs.
