The Rolling Stones euphonically declare, ‘You don’t always get what you want, you get what you need!’ : Ramona Wandblume has both, although it took her a while to see it that way. A Grundschule (Primary school) teacher within the German education system, Wandblume was let go for the officially curt cipher, Unorthodox.
Wandblume possesses a character trait that falls well within that French oxymoronic lack of definition definition, je ne sais quoi. Within a range of three feet of Wandblume adults suddenly become antsy ; children become awed.
Neither possessing the social guile of adults nor their ability to over-think things, children tend to respond to Ramona with wonder and primitive reverence. Wandblume’s thirty elementary students developed a textbook case of pantheism that they managed, like the early Christians, to largely conceal from the Imperial eyes of the staff & administration. The apocalypse came when the acolytes of Wandblume became arrogant enough to begin scrawling defamatory graffiti accusing the principal and the bulk of the staff, who all had the typical adult reaction to Wandblume, of being Meephisto and his devilish cronies .
The final reverential act of her High Priest, Pieter Wolfe was to introduce a dollop of his father’s--an inveterate Fenspace fan--Rheingold ‘Wavium into Wandblume’s final scholastic mug of institutional der rohkaffee (green coffee). Already feeling lousy, what having lost her job and all, Wandblume ascribed the mild post-coffee nausea to nerves and caffeine. It wasn’t until she woke up the very next morning that she knew that something else had happened to her.
She was gorgeously greenish! There would have been very different reaction had the ‘Wavium not bonded to, and modified Wandblume’s native quoi trait. Power-Word : Anxiety shifted to Power-Word : Awesome! The resultant emotive transmissive & resultant feedback affects turned a wallflower into a wild green rose.
Casting off the ashes of her previous life, Wandblume searched for something befitting the new her ; in quick order she used her savings to purchase and ‘wave-up a lovingly restored 1972 metal-flake-green AMC Gremlin that she rode to Fen where she operated as the independent trouble-shooter, Friday Baldwin. Her track record was rather Dirty Pair-ish but because of her electromagnetism things always turned out so awesomely that she was never without work. However, cleaning up other people’s messes began to quickly get old.
Then, on her final mission, she went to work as a pilot for someone called Dr. Drakken and she has been with her blue, eccentric, passionate and eccentric beau almost ever since. It was with him that she adopted the nom de guerre and costuming of Dr. Drakken’s nominal Lieutenant & Alpha-Squeeze, Shego.
Waved traits
- More Triffid than wallflower: She exhibits an easy, lazy predatory jungle grace and a snark & snide sense of humour.
- Juno who that is? : People attribute levels of capability, expertise and glamour that are frankly beyond her ability. In other words, her legend outstrips her during her own lifetime.
- Green, but not with envy : She's green [i]all over[/i].
