Fayelinya

Fayelinya is a shy cat girl and a staff member in the BVA's Drawpile Wing. She works on that shyness, eagerly helps with anything Drawpile-related with her better-than-average computer knowledge.

While she's gotten recognition for her help in Drawpile-related activities, she's also known as one of very few canonical musicians in the BVA as a tuba player. It's kind of hard to miss that fact now that she's not too shy to share. Maybe you've heard her playing through the halls of the BVA recently?

Artist Background
Fayelina has been a long-time lurker and fan of content creators such as Chuggaconroy (aka Emile), JoshJepson, and Stephen Georg, not interacting on the Internet at all until joining StephenCraft, a now-defunct Minecraft fan server made by Stephen’s community, in 2014. Lurking otherwise continued in Lucahjin, TomFawkes, and other streams until 2018, when she finally started talking in ProtonJon and FireLordBrooke (Josh’s wife)’s communities and immediately joining on the bandwagon of soon-to-be (at the time) internet grandparents StephenGeorg and MalMakes as Stephen starts streaming on Twitch for something other than their annual charity stream: breakfast.

She’s been a fan of TheRunawayGuys since inception and happened to follow many creators that would eventually become “TRG friends” and become a part of TheRunawayGuys Colosseum annual charity event. It’s almost like magic that one Let’s Player would lead people places…

Now out of her shell, you can find her frequent Discord in TRG members and friends’ servers (particularly, StephenGeorg and JoshJepson/FireLordBrooke). As an aspiring artist, she also frequents the Egg PAC server, both as a chatter and a fellow artist. She is also an honorary staff member for the community's weekly Drawpile (called as such because of her voluntary efforts to upkeep Drawpile metadata).

Character Backstory
The truth about her existence is because Fayelina wanted to write the Drawpile into BVA lore as she makes an OC of herself, but she still has a legitimate backstory:

Fayelinya was once infected with a sort of kitty virus when she was young. Exact details are no longer clear to her, but she vaguely remembers that it was a part of some sort of prank despite suffering physical consequences. Anyway, she’s since been cured, but she managed to keep the ears and tail. She doesn’t mind being called a cat girl; she’s fine with this fate because it’s cute. Balancing out the cuteness, she’s usually seen wearing skimpy leggings and sometimes the Rosajon hoodie, the latter of which she can usually wear without suffering the consequences. The reason for that may have to do with it being personalized.

She’s had good computer skill from a young age, which is how she landed a job in the BVA in the first place. You’ll most likely find her somewhere in the Drawpile Wing of the BVA on the 118th floor (usually in her office tagging random posts or whatever). When she isn’t drawing (and learning how to do it in the process), she mainly volunteers to tag every Drawpile in the Protonbooru for easy searching. As a personal project, she also upkeeps a Drawpile gallery online and asks for wall spaces around the BVA to post old and new Drawpiles on. Any and all server fires and penguin problems in the wing may have slowed that down, however.

So, about that tuba...
Previously hidden by her shyness, Faye absolutely loves the sounds of some low-pitched wind instruments, which led her to love the sound of the tuba at a very young age. She played tuba in her school’s band when she was younger. This led to her hiding in the back, hidden from sight, and usually not heard as often as the rest of the band due to the instrument’s role. Regardless, she’s not shy to be a tuba girl and supports breaking gender roles in music like such. Who says that girls can’t play such a wonderful (and big) instrument?

She loves the tuba with all her heart, which shows in her tendency in playing bass lines and low notes a lot. Even her RosaJon hoodie has the words “Tuba Girl” on the back, though at the cost of only a somewhat “modest” breast inflation.

As of late, she's been seen playing in the Drawpile wing from time to time despite the freezing temperature making it hard on herself to play in-tune and not freeze up. She's also been seen playing around the rest of the BVA, which shocked some people during the plushie arc of the Digital Shadow incident causing them to think they were hearing a distant foghorn…

Booru Curses
Fayelinya has two Booru curses that she started having ever since starting her job in the BVA. Both happen to be sound-related and can be blown out of proportion based on the scenario (pun intended). After the Digital Shadow incident, she may need to find a better way to counteract both curses after starting to share a space with Scelis...

Please note that Faye does not intend ill will with either scenario in regards to the BVA in general.

Curse of the Foghorn
Her love for low notes (especially from her favorite instrument) is no joke. She loves hearing it and practices hard to play so low, but it's caused some troubling fears since she started being a BVA member...

After a sufficient warm-up, she's capable of bellowing out a loud, foghorn-like sound from her tuba that can be heard almost anywhere in the BVA building. It seems like she's practiced a lot more than she claims, but in truth she's never had this much lung capacity until late. The sound tends to scare people (and the penguins) with how loud and low she can go, but sometimes she can't help it and does it anyway, such as for stress relief. Though, as the occasionally flatulent sound of a tuba may suggest, you may not want to be near any penguins when this happens…

(The thing is that the penguins that dwell in Faye’s workplace just don't like loud sounds, so they scare easily from her loud playing. She avoids that as much as she can despite her tendencies.)

On a more practical and safe level, she tends to casually play bass lines to songs she knows; a common tuba trope that she happens to like playing and has fun with it. If she's not busy accidentally shaking the BVA building, you can hear her play a jazzy walking bass or the tuba part for a polka with a dash of low notes for good measure.

The bright side of having a bigger lung capacity is being able to support her sound better in these practical settings, helping her simply play better! Maybe this curse wasn't so bad after all...

''When she wants to wind down, Faye personally finds that that softly-played low notes from low winds (and orchestral strings like the cello) is soothing, including those she makes on her own. The penguins seem to like it, so she puts them to sleep every night before signing off with a soft lullaby. She lets it echo through the halls at the very least, but there’s days she gets too into it and ends up playing for the rest of the building, too.''

Curse of the Memephone
The otherwise silent cat girl has a sound-padded office to help with her boisterous tuba-playing tendencies, but it’s not just for that…

Her phone’s been glitchy the moment she was written in started working in the BVA. For whatever reason, at very inopportune moments, her phone goes off with some meme sound byte. If you randomly hear Albert Wesker’s “You will give me an egg!” or a certain anime content creator doggo say “EEKUM BOKUM” (among other things), that may be her phone. This sucks when she tries to lurk around in the BVA without her tuba in tow, effectively breaking her lurks awkwardly and in a very non-Jon fashion.

What infuriates her as a tech nerd is that she can’t fix this by simply setting her ringer to vibrate or silent (which is what she sets it to most of the time anyway.) She’s thought to get sound padding for the rest of the Drawpile wing for that reason, including the room where Drawpiles happen. The only thing that stops her (and management) was the constant server fires in the Drawpile wing, so she settled with just her office getting decent sound padding instead (which, inadvertently, also solves her tuba problem). She realizes the hard way that anything Jon touches (directly or indirectly) can go wrong at any moment, and that sound padding is only good enough in a specific scenario.
