==Actual description==
'''Miss Pauling''' is a non-player character from Valve's 2007 first person shooter video game ''Team Fortress 2''. She is the loyal assistant of the Administrator (the main announcer from the games) and is a highly skilled professional.
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]] in a "Mann vs. Machine" matchup before losing to [[Miss Bellum]] in the quarter-finals
Pauling's 2021 performance makes her the first Elite 8 character to come from a joint property, and also technically the first to originate from a webcomic. She garnered backlash from anons during the middle rounds because of her association with a video game instead of a comic / cartoon, and the series writers saying that she's "a lesbian". The secretary has 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.▼

Outside of /co/, Pauling has appeared in /v/'s waifu contest in the 2021 edition, where she lost to ''WarioWare'' loli Ashley.
