I always keep a fire extinguisher at hand, though! |

Despite what others may think, she's actually a very rational person who bases her predictions on logic from the information given by her clients and the card the picked to figure out the outcome. She even explicitly states that her words are only meant to put them in the best state of mind for success, whether they get a positive or negative reading. Positive ones help build cofidence but one must not become rude and arrogant which may still lead to one's downfall. Negative readings force people to rethink their plans in search of any potential flaws, helping them to reinforce their ideas. After all, no one likes bad news and they'd likely try to deny it. |

Nothing truly disappears. Things just change in time, morphing into new forms like a larva turning into a butterfly. |
—Mariposa Lavador | |
Mariposa Lavador is a 2016-introduced and all-around character. She is the granddaughter of the Spanish Lady from the folk song of the same name. Posa aligns with the Neutrals as she has no qualms about her story but isn't passionate about reliving it enough to qualify as a Royal. It is also because she doesn't prefer either side of the alignment conflict over the other. Her true passion is to see the world, capture its wonders through art and inspire others along the way.

Fairy Tale - Spanish Lady
Main article:Spanish Lady
How the story goes
Basically an unattractive man finds an attractive woman washing her feet and drying them with coals (alternatively, the lady was doing the washing in candlelight). He spies on her for some time, wandering the streets only to end up in trouble. After being spotted by her, he fails to ever see the girl again and still dreams about her in old ages. In some instances, the man proposes to the woman with material gifts, in which she refuses as she was only interested in him. They get married and lived happily ever after despite their differences.
How Mari comes to it
(will elaborate on the great quest of the last admirer to win the lady of his dreams) The last Spanish Lady accepted the hand of her unusual suitor and they had a daughter. That girl lived life and had hers, too which was when our girl Mari was born.
Paralells
- Likes fire. Fire appears in all versions of her story, as burning coals or candlelight.
- Has stinky feet. The Spanish Lady in many versions is seen washing her feet.
- Interested in cards and fortune-telling. Fortune-related titles.
- Likes traveling. What is a Spanish Lady doing in Dublin or London anyway?
Relationships
Family
Lady Cassandra Lavador (grandmother)
Trivia
- Mariposa has a history of suffering from Athlete's foot, much like many of her relatives due to having feet that are more sweaty than most people. This explains why she fears the after math of Grimmnastics and takes great care of her soles, to the point where she uses shower shoes, washes and powders her feet extensively.
Theme Songs
- Wonder by Naughty Boy feat Emeli Sandé.
- Here Comes a Thought from Steven Universe.

Take a moment to remind yourself. To take a moment find yourself...You've got nothing to fear. I'm here. |

Quotes
|
|
What's so great about caricatures is how they celebrate the unique and perfectly imperfect aspects of each subject. After all, if no two snowflakes or butterflies are the same, why draw them the same? |
Notes
- Mari's name was created by WootdorfFilmCo.
