Praline (EntityTopic, 19)

From Compile Worlds

Praline is a character in Compile ♥ Worlds. She is the eponymous CEO of Mois Praline, and apparently both an adept business woman and master chocolateer. She made her rather elaborate debut in Episode 60, where she introduced herself and her company by advertising its chocolates to the people of Lastation.

Biography

Not much is known about Praline's history. However, she appeared in Lastation not too long before the appearance of the Puyo characters did and posed as a Lastation Basilicom staff in order to trick Noire into thinking she had earned a one-day vacation, free of worry or obligation. Once Noire was out of the Basilicom, Praline launched Mois Praline, where her chocolates were such an instant success no one noticed that other villainous agents were exalting the Lastation Basilicom workers and the CPU herself. By the time she debuts in Episode 60, she has all but taken over Lastation in the candy craze that she has created.

Personality-wise, Praline seems to be an energetic and diva-like woman, telling the entire continent of Lastation that she loves them at the end of her show. She is also quite a spokeswoman, as she self advertises her own candies with amazing persuasion. She can rile up a crowd with great enthusiasm and relative ease with her larger than life personality and literally sweet talk. She also seems somewhat vain, naming all of the confections after herself and her company. Of course, she may also just be building up a brand image.

Etymology

Praline is a French confectionery that is typically composed of crushed almonds and caramelized sugar, though it is also a German word that can mean "chocolate candy", which she specializes in. Interestingly, when you search for Praline in Google, Ganache comes up in "other searches".
