Line 29:

Although she is heavily associated with the /v/idya games board, Pauling plays a more significant role in the tie-in comic series rather than the video game itself. She first appeared in '''''WAR! Comic''''', a webcomic installment released in December 2009 alongside the game's ''WAR! Update'' patch, making her technically a /co/ character (and thus eligible for the [[Ms. /co/ tournaments|Miss /co/]]). This makes her one of the few video game characters to be eligible for both /co/ and /v/ tournaments. The secretary made her first animated appearance on June 2014 as a major character of ''Expiration Date'', a Source Filmmaker promotional movie for the games' ''Love and War Update''.

Pauling has qualified for two Miss /co/ editions since [[Ms. /co/ 2020|2020]]. She had a breakout performance in [[Ms. /co/ 2021|2021]], securing the 10th seed and reaching the [[Elite Eight]] by beating "meme pick" [[Karen]] before losing to [[Miss Bellum]] in the quarter-finals. This makes her the first Elite 8 character from a joint property, and also the first webcomic character in a technical sense. Pauling garnered some backlash from some anons during the middle rounds because of her association with a video game instead of a comic / cartoon, and the series writers stating that she's "a lesbian". She's also been featured in several OC pieces, some of which were featured as thread images.

The secretary's next eligible contest will be in [[Ms. /co/ 2023|2023]] as she will serve a temporary break of [[Ms. /co/ 2022|one year]] following her 2021 performance.
