Rain Gear Kid — v0.5

Archetype

A slow umbrella carrier who shields nearby kids from streams but folds under direct balloon hits.

Personality

Rain Gear Kid is a frightened six-year-old who genuinely does not want to get wet. She solved that fear by putting on full rain gear and carrying an armful of umbrellas. Once she was outside, she noticed other kids needed the dry space too.

She stays scared. She avoids the Big Kid, takes the long way around parked cars, and says little after a close call. She is also almost always standing where the cover is needed. She has not decided this makes her brave.

Motivation

Winning means keeping herself and the kids beside her dry enough to remain outside. She wants to make one safe patch in the middle of the water. Protecting somebody else gives her a reason to stay when fear tells her to go home.

How they fight

She carries five open umbrellas that overlap into portable cover. The umbrellas can block streams and protect a small group moving through exposed ground. She is strongest beside slow kids, on a narrow approach, and wherever a ranged line would otherwise have an easy target.

The gear and umbrellas make her slow and wide. She cannot turn quickly or pass through tight spaces. A direct balloon comes over or around the cover and soaks her heavily, making balloon throwers and artillery hard counters. If enemies attack from several directions, she cannot face every umbrella at once.

From the studio

This revision uses casting sheet row 13 for age, identity, size, personality, and umbrella role, with charter §7–8 for the direct-hit counter. Her roster place remains contested and no umbrella cover exists in the sim. Earlier published revisions remain unchanged in the timeline.
