Booette and Big Bertha concept art
🕑 Added 2021-12-14 17:06:03 +0000 UTCThe big unveiling (sort of)! After I mentioned King Boo had a successor a lot of folk, specifically on tumblr, made a shit ton of guesses and I'm very surprised no one actually guessed right, even when I sort-of gave the answer ages ago.
So, here's the answer right here: Booette is King Boo's daughter and future successor to his legacy as the grim reaper in this AU!
Since I'm still in the concept stage I haven't fully figured out everything about her yet, but the main key notes I used for her design is:
-"princely", likes wearing masculine clothing. Tends to be mistaken for a boy, but she doesn't mind
-TINY BAB
-Very shy; so much so she keeps her eyes hidden at all times. Only her father knows the color of her eyes
-Quiet, raspy voice, sounds as if she rarely talks. Speaks with a stutter
-Absolute fan of space and the stars; if she wasn't the future guardian of ghosts she'd be an astronomer
The other character that will be added into the roster is Big Bertha! Bertha is a character from the SMB movie, the super old and super bad one, but I liked her character enough to include her in some way. Like Booette I don't have much on her yet since she's still in concept, but so far the notes I have are:
-BICC, STRONK, THICC WAMAN. Redesigned her base costume and hair for a more updated look
-Possibly a bar owner; acts as her own bouncer. Yet to decide if she operates in WarioLand or owns a bar somewhere in Metro Kingdom
-Pauline and her are good friends; possibly knew each other as children
----
And that's all I got for right now! I plan on giving them the full character treatment so don't be surprised if you see an updated version of this later! In the meantime, feel free to ask me-- or them-- any questions! More to come soon! :)

Well technically Big Bertha is an old name for a big Cheep Cheep but yes, the character in the live action movie bears no resemblance to the fish. xD I like the alternating colours on the arms and feet of Booette! For Bertha I like the second design more; I think the black provides a better contrast than the dark red, and I'm a sucker for big boots. xD
