Introducing the hopeful band in the Super Mario AU, the ROCKETTES!
Bowsette, despite being the crown princess of the Koopa Kingdom, wants anything but the responsibility of running the kingdom. Bowser did offer sharing power equally with her when she was old enough, but she flat-out refused; unless he absolutely needs her, she doesn’t want the pressures of being a prominent political figure.
Instead, she has an entirely different goal in mind: to be a rockstar. She gathered up her friends, packed up everything they can carry in their tour bus (more accurately, the raggedy multipurpose van Chompette got for her birthday) and off they went on their wild adventure!
Bowser, for the record, supports his sister and her dreams, but he can’t help but worry about her. Especially because she’s out there on her own; for the longest time it was just him, her, and Kamek.
Bowsette loves her brother and very much appreciates his support, but whenever he offers her any money she staunchly refuses; she’d rather make it through her band’s merit, not from the money she’s inherited as princess. There are times her friends have to convince her to just take the damned money though. ;w;
AT ANY RATE!
You have Bowsette as your bassist and lead singer, Goombette as the drummer (and occasional costume designer), Chompette as the guitarist and backup vocals, and Vivian that doubles as band manager and, many cases, the Special Effects… specialist. Currently they’re mostly hopping from gig to gig, hoping to spread their music around enough to strike it big. They probably aren’t terribly interested in signing with a label, but they aren’t quite well known in the indie scene yet either. They’re getting there though!
Fun facts!
-Chompette is selectively mute. She rarely ever speaks outside of music but when she’s on stage, she’ll sing her heart out. I imagine her singing voice is like Halsey , somethin’ to contrast Bowsette’s much rougher, heavier voice.
-Chompette is a Mushling (the same human race as Peach and Daisy)! It’s very common for Mushlings to have sharp canines, but Chompette is a rarity with her mouth full of shark-like teeth. It’s likely a harmless birth defect, but boy does it give her one wicked smile.
-Bowsette and Chompette have been friends since childhood, the rest they met a few years later and they’ve been the squad ever since.
-Every member has a function outside of just creating the music. Bowsette is essentially the “leader”, Chompette mixes and cleans up the music, Goombette designs any costumes they may need as well as handles the artwork, and Vivian is essentially everything else: the manager, the special effects artist, the accountant. Any role that needs to be filled will probably be filled by the ever skilled Vivian.
-Vivian is a Shadow Siren, a race of ghost-like beings who are native to Sarasaland. Shadow Sirens are not undead despite their appearance though.
