Miss Pauling: Difference between revisions

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 comicwebcomic 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]] off of a relatively easy side of the bracket. This makes her the first character from a joint property, and technically the first webcomic character, to reach that stage. 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 suggestionsthe ofseries herwriters beingstating that she's "a lesbian". She's also been featured in several OC pieces, some of which were featured as thread images.
