Fresa (EntityTopic, 16)

From Compile Worlds

Fresa is a character appearing in Compile ♥ Worlds. She is a villainous little girl with a cybernetic eye that apparently acts a hired hitman for Ganache and a mysterious higher authority. She debuted in Episode 60, introducing herself as an armed agent of the Neapolitan Trio and Ganache, also revealing her missions to silence Noire and kill Arle Nadja to prevent Mois Praline from looking shady.

Biography

Not much is known about Fresa's history. However, she appeared in Lastation not too long before the appearance of the Puyo characters. She was apparently employed by Ganache and some higher powers at Mois Praline to ambush Noire and the Basilicom staff in Lastation, who knew part of the truth about the sudden overnight success of Mois Praline. She tied Noire, Singe, and Chian up, holding them hostage in Chian's house to keep them silent, possibly with the intent to murder them. She contacts her superiors when Noire is rescued in Episode 60 and attacks the gang when they notice her there.

Fresa is a somewhat spoiled little girl that talks with a stereotypical valley girl speech quirk. She sugar coats almost all of her dialogue to sound sickeningly sweet, though she's actually a deadly hitman on the inside. She is also rather trigger happy, showing almost no hesitation to draw a bazooka on Arle when she realizes she's within her range. She also takes great delight in terrifying her prey, as when she destroyed Sigma's force field with an enchanted bazooka round. She laughs "Gwee hee hee" when pleased.

Fresa is deadly with a bazooka and seems to be always armed. She is also quite successful at ambushes apparently, tying up three normally capable figures and locking them in a house for days. She also carries enchanted bazooka rounds to dispel magical shields, making her even more destructive.

Etymology

Fresa is the Spanish word for strawberry, of which she has two of in her hair replacing a bowtie. Strawberry is also a flavor of Ice Cream, which is traditionally part of Neapolitan Ice Cream, along with vanilla and chocolate. Additionally, her clothing is themed after strawberry and strawberry themed sweets as well. Freshener, Neptune's nickname for her, can describe her cutesie personality.

Trivia
