Personality

Heart_Shaped_Pupil's typing style was unusually sloppy,<ref name="P.3e1">Heart_Shaped_Pupil: so x-ited to b working with u.
Strange_Mammal: @ K / Heart_Shaped_Pupil…
Strange_Mammal: …type like a grown up…
Strange_Mammal: …my eyes are already bleeding - Glow-worm P.3 </ref> with lots of typos and extensive use of emojis and abbreviations.^{[citation needed]} They displayed some familiarity with PHO's search function, but seemingly less than Strange Mammal's.<ref name="P.4e1">of5: Wanted k actually. Heart_Shaped_Pupil: yuss! \♥/ of5: you know this site. I want search terms to find some people. Articles, anything else. Would need to cover a lot of bases. Normal site search limits # of terms. Heart_Shaped_Pupil: uh. that hard. you want packaged search string Heart_Shaped_Pupil: i can try Questionable_Mammal: you’re looking for others in your set? of5: yes Questionable_Mammal: I can make attempt. gimme time. you might want to fine tune after.

- Glow-worm P.4</ref> Strange_Mammal claimed that K would almost certainly check how long Mangled_Wings had been online and catch her in a minor lie.<ref>Strange_Mammal: for your information…

Strange_Mammal: …others can see time you spend online on your profile. you spent longer than one hour… Strange_Mammal: …you’ve been online all day. Mangled_Wings: I am at the library. Something to do with that, I’d think. Strange_Mammal: it doesn’t work that way. I am 95% sure. Strange_Mammal: there is no need to lie, A Strange_Mammal: the reason for this project is supposed to be we know each other Strange_Mammal: K will find out if she does not already know. she pays attention to those things - Glow-worm P.3 </ref>

HSP was familiar with details regarding the true nature of passengers.<ref>Heart_Shaped_Pupil: If you think about it, with powers and all, the center of your being could include the vast monster in another dimension that’s all hooked up into you. Passenger stuff. The center of mass could be in the middle of an alien god monster the size of a mountain or moon. I imagine it has the energy of a small star stored in it. - Glow-worm P.7</ref>

Relationships

Wards

Kenzie had largely alienated the members of her old Wards team, a fact she regretted. However, she did discuss the possibility of one day working with her old leader again.<ref name="P.7"/>

Treefort

Heart_Shaped_Pupil was a member of the Treefort_Lookout chatroom on Parahumans Online, a room for discussing current events and searching for info. They seemed friendly with the users there, who provided them with information.

They were also a member of the connected chatrooms Pillowfort_Lazytalk (where they discussed their personal life) and Snowfort_Mission.

However, in reality the chatrooms ware filled entirely with chat-bots Kenzie had constructed herself, that acquired their information from automated PHO searches.<ref name="P.7"/> She was in the process of constructing chatbots that would mimic her teammates' conversation styles when she was forced to disable the system.<ref>Executioner404: /Kill Goatfish
Goatfish: WIP_Capbot is disconnecting…
Goatfish has left the conversation.
Executioner404: /kill Shameful_Manatee
Shameful_Manatee: WIP_Chrisbot is disconnecting…
Shameful_Manatee has left the conversation. - Glow-worm P.7</ref>

Chatroom Group

Heart_Shaped_Pupil is a member of a group of parahumans that primarily communicate via PHO.

HSP's writing style irritated their teammate Strange_Mammal.<ref name="P.3e1"/>

They professed to be an admirer of Mangled_Wings,<ref name="P.3">Glow-worm P.3</ref> and had agreed to work with them as an independent villain at a later date, although they were initially unsure if Mangled-Wings was serious about this. Mangled_Wings considered them one of the few people worthy of her attention and investment.<ref name="P.7"/>

She claimed possible romantic interest in Strange_Mammal.<ref name="P.6">Glow-worm P.6</ref> In conversation with Strange_Mammal, HSP revealed that she had been observing Mammal's private conversations with other users. Mammal had known they were being watched for some time, noting that their stalker was too skilled not to be watching their activities on PHO.<ref name="P.6">Glow-worm P.6</ref>

Abilities and Powers

Heart_Shaped_Pupil is a tinker,<ref name="P.7"/> likely of Visor specialty<ref>Visor - Thinkery, added vision modes, data gathering, etc. Weapons might benefit from this, with stuff like sniper guns that can shoot through walls or homing. - Wildbow in r/Weaverdice</ref>, since one of her older bots "Dogtooth" (fashioned after ex-teammate Houndtooth) calls her "optics"<ref name="P.7"/>. Their power was useful, so much so that they worried they might be kidnapped by people seeking to exploit it.<ref>Heart_Shaped_Pupil: you’re a smart guy and you were a good leader. you know how these things work. you know my power has its uses. others would kidnap me for it. I am offering myself to you and you would be stupid to turn me down. - Glow-worm P.7</ref>

They were able to construct a parallel Parahumans Online server, giving them a faster connection and allowing them to view private information. They also constructed a group of relatively sophisticated chatbots (see Treefort above), although they stated that this was not their specialty, and they were not capable of creating true AI.<ref name="P.7"/>

They stated that they were not a part of a multitrigger group.<ref>Cap: I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with the cluster-trigger clusterfuck

Heart_Shaped_Pupil: Amen.

Mangled_Wings: Agreed. - Excerpt from Glow-worm P.6 </ref>

History

Background

She used to be on the Baltimore Wards team when she was ten, alongside capes named Aven (or AvenG), Houndstooth, 10-59 and Pidgeonhole.<ref name="P.7"/>

Gold Morning

She was stated to have participated in Gold Morning and "actually helped".<ref>Heart_Shaped_Pupil: iv’e grown up some
Heart_Shaped_Pupil: i was there for the end of the world
Heart_Shaped_Pupil: i did stuff. i actually really helped

Houndstooth: Absolutely - Glow-worm P.7</ref> It's safe to assume that, as all involved tinkers, she participated in the building of inter-dimensional cannon, that finished off Scion's true body.

Glow-worm

At some point, they met up with the other members of the Chatroom group.

When they asked to meet Strange_Mammal privately and they refused, Kenzie revealed that she had been surveilling them and asked about details of their power.<ref name="P.6"/>

Kenzie used her Treefort bots to track Tattletale and Weld as assistance for her new teammates (of5 and Strange_Mammal, respectively).

Shortly afterward, Parahumans Online moderators discovered traffic from her Treefort (see above) and asked her to shut the shop down, since it provided undue stress to PHO network. When she volunteered to donate her DYI Parahumans Online server, they requested she shut that down as well because of security reasons.
