“She may not be the most fearsome villain on the island, but she can be one of the toughest to deal with,….
Smuther, as she calls herself, is a walking, talking, quicksand bog, and,…”
‘No! No no no no NO! …. Noone is telling my story except ME, especially not some glorified extra!’
‘Hey! I tell the stories around here,…’
‘Not today, sweetie! Now run along and do jungly things, go poke something dangerous, and get out of My spotlight! Go on, go!’
‘Hmph,…’
“Ahem,…
DARLINGS!!! It is I,… Singer,… Dancer,… Actress Extraordinaire,… the one,… the only,… Smuther!!
Oh, thank you, thank you, you are too kind,… don’t stop,…
Now, I know you’ve all heard of me,… frankly it would be embarrassing for you if you hadn’t,… but you may not know the whole story of how I became the fabulous rising star that I am today. Oh, it’s true, I wasn’t always like this, I used to be just another fleshy human, like so many others, and a boringly dull ‘Archeologist’ at that,… bleck,…. Tight shorts, boots, guns, and an absolutely dreadful fashion sense, rooting around in ancient tombs, trying to scrape up treasure to make myself rich, but all that changed one day. After getting my hands on some idol I thought would make me insanely rich I wound up getting knocked into a quicksand pit by some jungle girl,… I don’t know, who can remember such trifling details?
Anyway,…
As I sank down into the sands I heard voices, dark whispers in my head, giving promises of power and fame, and talking about destroying some ‘Guardian’,… honestly, I wasn’t really paying attention to that part,… Before I knew it the sand around me shifted, the line between it and me blurring, and I wasn’t sinking anymore but rising. I emerged up from the sands but I now Was the sand, no longer flesh and blood, I was better than ever, and for the first time in my life everything seemed so clear, fame didn’t come from riches, it came from Fame, and I finally knew what my true goal was,… Hollywood!!
Of course, one doesn’t just walk into Hollywood and instantly become a star,… even someone as fabulously talented as I am,… you have to build up your portfolio first, show the range of your talents. Which is why I am here, filming on location on this lovely tropical island, with such friendly environments, easy terrain, and breathtaking vistas, why it’s simply paradise. Unfortunately there will always be those who are jealous of my talent and try to upstage me, like some upstart jungle girl, always trying to steal My Spotlight,…
Oh, and then of course those vicious rumors going around about my eating people, well, that is simply tabloid level fiction, absolutely preposterous. I mean, it’s not my fault if people are so dazzled by my presence that they don’t watch where they step and end up sinking into my dress, I mean that is what happens when you step in quicksand, that’s just nature, us stars have to eat too, you know?
Hmm,… speaking of,… I am feeling abit famished,… now where did that leafy little wildflower run off to?”
----
The island just got a whole lot louder,… and Ember’s life a lot more complicated,… with the addition of this new villainess. Much as she seems, a living quicksand pit, who thinks she some kind of rising star,… needless to say, she may be alittle unhinged. Of course I had to make some kind of quicksand-person among Ember’s villains, but wanted this one to stand out from other such characters, so the thought of doing a truly over-the-top style character like this seemed just right. BAB did an amazing job of bringing this character to life, with a beautiful and lustrous design that literally sparkles, truly showing her for the full-tilt Quicksand Diva that she is. But watch out, as the half submerged pith helmet and binoculars show getting too close to that long flowing dress is like stepping into a quicksand pit,… something that is sure to cause problems for an Island Guardian that focuses on close range combat. The sultry and sensational look to her design, from her sparkly dress and hair to those captivatingly blue eyes, to the microphone always nearby… but if you look closely you’ll see the sandy texture to her skin, with the image on the far right showing off her true nature,… in more ways than one. Her live performances promise to be truly Breath-Taking. ;)
Another incredible character visualized for me by BAB. What do you think? :D

Hehe, I'm glad you like her :D
It is definitely conscious for her. As for what happens, I'd rather not go further with detailing that,... I prefer to leave sinking at submergence, but yeah, she is similar to Sandman, just more quicksand-oriented than normal sand like he was.

Aww. :c I like details. XD But yeah, I love her alot! Characters like this: former humans/human-like/altered people. <3 That, and the whole 50's/Jessica Rabbit-style getup.
So, can she change her shape and form at will? Or is she stuck like this?
How could Ember defeat her? Can Ember defeat her?
How has she convinced herself she's an up and coming movie star when she lives on a deserted tropical island?

I'm glad you like her. :D Also, this is her first appearance, so she, like Ember, will be a constant work in progress, over time more will be revealed, but without spoiling too much just yet,...
Aside from reforming as needed, she does not seem able to take other forms, but this could simply be because she doesn't want to.
The thought is that as she was being 'reborn' the promises of 'Fame', which she had desired before as well, somehow really stuck in her head, becoming her focal point, and manifested this way.
As for defeating her,...
"Yes, I can defeat her,... but it's not easy,... the best way I've found so far is to lead her away from water and bogs and distract her until she dries out,... that is easier to say than do, especially on this island,... but I have found a couple words I've learned from tourists,... 'Otto-Graff' and 'On-core',... are great ways to distract her. She never stays dried out though."

Fair enough! Well, I really hope we see more of her and her unique powers! <3 I personally think she's lovely. 10/10 would give her a role.
And fair enough: she's got a lovely form to begin with! Though, what if she mixed with more quick-sand?
And that seem reasonable. <3
"Ember, have you tried holding a camera? Or asking her to pose in the sun for the perfect photo?"

Oh, I'm sure you will see more of her over time, especially if She has anything to say about it ;) I'm glad you like her so much. :)
A good question, only time will tell on that one. ;)
Makes sense to me :)
"Camera? You mean those magic boxes that Hula Girl seems to like? You think that might work? Hmm,.... I guess I could find one and try,... thank you for the idea."

<3 She does seem to be quite eager to hog the limelight. I can't say I blame her; when you're as fantastic and as unique as her, it'd be a crime to do any less!
I eagerly look forward to seeing where you go with her! <3
"I think it would work; given how obsessed she is with being the centre of attention! She wouldn't be able to resist posing for a Camera! Just point it at her and click it a few times!"
Also, I think she's getting me into quicksand? That's the kink, right?

"Oh, thank you, Darling,... I couldn't agree more"
I'm glad to hear it :)
"Hmm,.... you could be right,... I'll have to give that a try, thank you for the help."
Oh, indeed it is a kink/fetish, which my FA & DA galleries show a decent amount of. But if you are interested in knowing/seeing more feel free to send me a note and we can discuss it, if you want. :)

"Good taste? Anyone with two eyes could tell you're a piece of art!"
"And yes, Pictures! A camera takes a picture of what you point it at, like a really, really good drawing! You should probably ask Hula about camera and Hollywood, it might help you defeat Smuther, or find a way to get her to stop!"

"I would have thought you would have left this island, and gone in search of fame elsewhere? Certainly somewhere with less mud to ruin that lovely dress of yours? I can't imagine the jungle is particularly comfortable on those lovely high heels of yours?"
"It's such a small island? How many other villains are there?"
"It's such a small island? How many other villains are there?"
"Well, I must build my portfolio first before I head to Hollywood." *Blinks* "Less mud? Why would I want to leave all this glorious mud, muck and quicksand? Ha! Any diva worth her sparkle can traverse any environment in high heels with ease."
*blinks* "Small? This place is Huge,... or atleast it seems that way most days. Hmm,... let's see,.. there is The Wraith,.. The Boneheads,.. Smuther,.. The Necromancers that make the Boneheads,.. Queen La,.. <insert villains here as they are thought up & visualized>,... not to mention Thieves, or as they call themselves, 'Treasure Hunters',.."
