Flubb ([FLUHB] | / flʌb /)

Like all of the Owsla, Dame Flubb keeps herself in excellent physical condition through regular training, although she has a tendency to be a bit on the plump side in peacetime.  

And what's your point? Haven't you ever heard that you should never trust a skinny cook?

— Dame Flubb

Flubb generally presents as an anthropomorphic calico with obvious Mainecoon ancestry, and small purple dragon wings. She has also been known to present as a similar calico cat with small purple dragon wings. She is almost never seen in Human form.

Flubb has scars across her nose and face from injuries she sustained during the Battle vs the Nite Qing. She is quite proud of these honourable battle scars acquired in service to her Queen, and makes no attempt whatsoever to hide them.

As a werecat, Flubb is a shapeshifter. She doesn't tend to think of herself as much of a Literomancer, but those in the know are of the opinion that her Literomancy manifests as "buffs," making her more formidable in combat, or blessing the food she makes with restorative properties. Recently, she has shown literomantic capability in creating small token objects that are gifts of love, or in "battlefield healing" in a lesser version of Queen Sable's own healing powers. With her dragon wings, she is also capable of flight in any form that possesses them.

When at peace, Flubb is usually attired in simple clothing with an apron and chef's hat, though she does dress up for formal functions. On duty, she usually wears a stainless steel breastplate over a gambizon, quilted in Lapin pink and lime green. At war, she adds a military helmet and military gear, and sometimes trades the breastplate for a flak jacket. Flubb occasionally wears glasses for reading.   From time to time, Flubb also dresses to her role as a Major in the Self Care Mafia, which takes the form of a dark blue trenchcoat and Fedora.

Flubb is best known for her signature weapon, a cast iron skillet with a sword hilt and quillons, known as "Eggscaliber." After The Sixth Word War, Flubb allowed Captain Woodwright to keep the original Eggscaliber, which he had picked up during the Battle of the Wolverine Line, and the Captain and Queen Sable forged her a new skillet from Meteoric Iron. Queen Sable has confirmed that this version of Eggcaliber has been invested with some enchantments, but until it is seen in battle, the nature of those enchantments remains unknown.  

Oh, you know, just a couple of extra goodies that might be helpful, that's all... sinister smirk

Prior to the Third Word War

Not much is known about Flubb's past, other than that she was a part of the Missing House. She remembers being a Bodyguard, and this is theorized to be why she wasn't taken from this reality with the other members of her House. She is known to have been the Pumpkin Queen of GoToween that year, although further details are unclear. She also remembers taking part in The Battle of the Book, and other survivors also remember her taking part.  

It's one of the few things from my old life that's rather vivid, actually.

Third Word War

Flubb fell to the Undead Horde in the Third Word War, and was discovered by fellow Undead, Doomflower Wither (in life known as Senna Nightshade) near a giant crater The two wondered what had happened before leaving the area to meet with ICC Dead People (in life known as ECC Books). Flubb was granted the Undead Name "Death Grubb Flubb2" as she was inducted to ICC Dead People's "side" of the Horde.  

Early 2023

Flubb became a member of House Lapin after being Resurrected, when she went to her Auntie Ru in the aftermath, and quickly took over the Lapin Royal Kitchens and began cooking for Tomesmas.   Just after 3WW, AttorraRu took her to the newly found Gem Cave below The Dragon Cave where the power of the gems activated her Dragon blood, and she was transformed into a Dragon Kitty. She suspects that this will unlock a full Dragon form in the future.   During this time, Flubb's draconic mother was rescued from parties unknown by AttorraRu and Erin Righ.     Along with the support of a rather small Bunnykin known only as Bert, Flubb formed the Kitchenalia Brigade — dedicated to the service of House Lapin and Sable Aradia — on February 2, 2023. With this independent move inspired to protect the Mother of Bunnies, she gained the attention of the Owsla, and was inducted into their ranks on March 7, 2023.   Flubb quickly developed a close friendship with the Captain of the Owsla, James Woodwright, and their affectionate arguments became a common experience around The Warren.   During the April Tourney 2023, Flubb insisted on protecting her queen during the Battle vs. the Nite Qing. She fought The Nite Qing directly and was wounded by his claws across her nose and face. There was no opportunity for more than the most cursory healing, since Queen Sable needed to martial her Literomantic Power reserves for the battle, and the participants could not leave the Lapin Secret Library without the risk of the Nite Qing escaping. However, she is proud of her scars, and doesn't seem to mind.   Initially, Flubb saw her role as being the Queen's personal chef and food taster, and didn't think of herself in a martial role. In the wake of Queen Sable's collapse following Operation GTFO, during which she admirably served an active support role, she appointed herself the Queen's personal aide, to help her manage her self-care.  

Late 2023 and the Fourth Word War

However, with the undeaths of most of the Owsla after the Battle of the Tunnels in The Fourth Word War, Dame Flubb found herself the Acting Captain of the Owsla as the most senior of the two survivors. Her evacuation and defense of the wounded Mother of Bunnies from The Warren in that conflict earned her the Lapin Star of Valour, and was commemorated on the new £1000 Lapin Lira bill that was issued by the Lapin Protectorate in 2024.     Flubb and her friend found themselves facing off on opposite sides on two occasions during 4WW — once at The Battle of Zafforza City, and once at The Battle of Crystal Song. Their apologies as they continued to attack each other is still a subject of much mirth among Lapin Tome Knights and military personnel.  

2025 and the Fifth Word War

Following her admirable service during the war, Flubb temporarily remained the Acting Owsla Captain while her commanding officers took a leave of absence or otherwise took time to recover. When they returned from leave, she put herself through OCS training at the Lapin Royal Military Academy.   After this training was completed, Queen Sable assigned Flubb as her personal aide-de-camp, so that she could continue to maintain the supportive services she'd taken on that the Bunny Queen found so helpful. She continued to serve in that capacity during The Fifth Word War. She and Cheetya Ironfist defended and supported the Mother of Bunnies at the Undead Karaoke Night.   During the July Tourney 2025, Dame Flubb joined forces with the other Wardens of the Risen Shore, calling herself "The Insane Maine." While she did not make her personal goal in the accumulation of literomantic power, her efforts did contribute to the successful raising of the Eastern Seaboard from the depths of the ocean.  

Sixth Word War to Present

During The Sixth Word War, Flubb was a constant presence at Queen Sable's side, except that her duties as a Major in the Self Care Mafia also came into play when the SCM HQ was razed by previously unknown parties. She defended the HQ and helped attend to Acting Oyabun Lady Wynter's injuries after the fire, making use of her battlefield medic training and the new healing Literomancy she learned from Queen Sable.   Flubb fell to The Undead Horde during The Battle of the Wolverine Line in defense of her queen, and became part of the Kitsune-gumi, who gave her the name "Bentocat." She found this second undeath to be much less traumatic than her first, and has decided to keep the nickname.   Following the war, she is making plans for a cooking and baking project along with Queen Sable, some of the Lapin royal family, and House Ailurus.

In addition to her many official duties, Flubb is the official doughnut-maker for the Badger Scout Corps of House Meles.

Despite her distinguished military record, Dame Flubb is a kind and gentle being who always prefers non-violent solutions. She would rather help than fight, even if she is capable as a combatant. She makes no secret of her feelings or her loyalties.
