Appearance

Squealer is an impoverished and trashy Caucasian woman who dressed trashy.<ref>The Merchants are a group that never took off. They don't have high aspirations, they just use their powers to make a risky business less risky, selling drugs. They're economically depressed types in an economically depressed area, making what money they can off people with very little money to spare. Bit-rate dealers (Skidmark), white trash (Squealer), and people down on their luck, trying to fix their situation in life and failing (Mush). - Wildbow on Reddit, archived on Spacebattles</ref><ref name="Cast1">Squealer – Described by others as a trashy skank, a Merchant and Skidmark’s girlfriend. A tinker capable of creating vehicles, she makes lumbering, haphazard constructions loaded down with everything she might think of. - Cast (spoiler free)</ref><ref name="5.1 e1">Another group arrived, and it was like you could see a wave of distaste wash over the faces in the room. I had seen references on the web and news articles about these guys, but they weren’t the sort you took pictures of. Skidmark, Moist, Squealer. Two guys and a girl, the lot of them proving that capes weren’t necessarily attractive, successful or immune to the influences of substance abuse. Hardcore addicts and dealers who happened to have superpowers. - Hive 5.1</ref><ref>Squealer just smiled. It probably wasn’t as sexy or cute as she thought it was. Aisha, when left to her own devices, was a pretty girl who dressed trashy. Squealer, I felt, was more of a trashy woman who dressed trashy. - Excerpt from Plague 12.2</ref> She has a chipmunk voice<ref name="playtest">That person down the street who revs their oversized truck and squeals tires at 3am? Dial all that up to 5000, add meth rage, road rage, a chipmunk voice and too much makeup. She’d be a threat if she could see beyond her next high. - Excerpt from Playtest Capes</ref> and wears too much makeup to the point it looks practically caked on.<ref name="11.5 e2" />

In one instance, she was streaked with oil stains and wore a white top and jean shorts. These clothes were so skimpy that she was more indecent than she would be if she had been naked.<ref name="11.5 e2">His girlfriend was at his side, her shoulder touching his. Squealer was streaked with oil stains, with some even in her hair. She wore a white top and jean shorts that were each so skimpy that she was more indecent than she’d be if she had been naked. She had a remote control in one hand, and her makeup was practically caked on. Not so dissimilar from the girl we’d just rescued, in that respect - Infestation 11.5</ref>

Abilities and Powers

Squealer is a Tinker that specializes in vehicles. She goes for size, augmentations and additions when she builds her vehicles.<ref name="Cast2">Squealer (Deceased) – Skidmark’s girlfriend, classified as a Tinker and a Mover. Her abilities allowed her to create advanced vehicles. Killed by the Nine. - Cast (in depth)</ref>

She has an intuitive understanding of how to operate everything she builds making her an incredibly skilled driver.

History

Background

Went through a Tinker trigger.

Story Start

After the Azn Bad Boys kicked the merchants out of their usual hole they went to the truce meeting. Squealer did not contribute anything to the meeting and was silent while it was decided what to do about the ABB.

She presumably took part in the action against the ABB. Was not known to fight Leviathan when he came to Brockton Bay.

Post-Leviathan

Came to the truce meeting when the surviving parahumans were talking about how to deal with the city's new murderous guests.<ref name="12.2">All at once, an incoming boat made its presence known. As though a switch was flipped, there was the sound of something that sounded like the combined noise of radio static coming from a bank of speakers, an eighteen wheeler with the muffler off and an onrushing train. It wasn’t just noise – the vehicle flickered with flashes of electricity and lights that people could probably see from anywhere downtown.

Seeing it approach, I had no doubt it was a tinker contraption. It was the size of a small yacht, but it looked outfitted for war, with what looked like tesla coils crossed with old school tv antennae fueling its forward momentum and sending arcs of electricity dancing over the waves in its wake, as though it was riding on a current of lightning. Various guns had been placed haphazardly around the upper deck, each manned by a Merchant. Skidmark stood at the highest deck with Squealer, the driver.

Squealer had apparently never grasped the concept of elegance in design. From what I’d read and heard, she went for size, augmentations and additions when she built her vehicles. She was kind of the polar opposite of Armsmaster in that regard. - Excerpt from Plague 12.2</ref>

Dismembered by Siberian, dying alongside the rest of the Merchants when The Nine attacked.<ref name="I12">Interlude 12</ref>

Trivia

• Squealer takes her name solely from the slang for a high speed car, one would hope.
