Talk:Vriska Serket

Shoes?
Where did that image of her come from? She's only been depicted from the waist up. "People are probably going to be drawing her into the ground until she gets fully introduced and there's nothin I can do to stop nobody, but if there are going to be a thousand preemptive fan drawings out there they might as well be accurate." JordanTH 21:01, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Andrew himself posted her sprite in the fanart thread. And I quote:

Red/Blue Teams
The problem with that speculation is that all of the trolls appear to be in the same lab. GC and CG are close enough that GC can pester CG during John's "tearful reunion", and GC is seen behind GA in that very image. Well, we'll know soon enough if AG's horns look like pincers or not, but if you ask me, it's almost certain they do. --Kendrakirai 01:26, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Similarities with Snowman
Vriska has a lot in common with Snowman, and I feel these should be noted in the wiki. Her use of 8-balls appears to be too obvious to ignore --Dorp

Something like, the Black Oracles are to Snowman as the Magic Cue Ball(s) are to Doc? I guess she had to move on to something. Addiction is a powerful thing... I dunno that that's something in common per say, but it's definitely a connection. ReySquared 21:27, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

"Eight"
Isn't Vriska's sprite under the "Eight" heading doctored? Can't we just use the sprite she had in the flashback, with the eight-eyed lens? Majutsukai 01:32, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Sure, go ahead and add it! I had forgotten all about the lens. I guess she wore the lens because the sun is so sensitive to troll eyes already, let alone a special sevenfold eye. To clarify for anyone who was wondering its only called eightfold because you have to add the eye on the other side. The sevenfold eye by the way, she has because trolls share their DNA with their lusus, right? I'm never going to understand trolls... whatever. Loverdesang 02:29, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Kay. I replaced the doctored image with the one of her from the flashback. Majutsukai 03:21, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Vriska died?
The article states that Vriska dies due to the encounter with Aridia, and has to continue the game as her dream self. First of all, why does she not look anything like a dream self if she is one, and second, she's alive during Alterniabound, even after all of the dream-selves are killed.

Methinks there might be a mistake in this article.

 * Actually, that's the general consensus on what happened. Andrew hasn't explained it explicitly. However, the belief is that she died and her dream self took over and just switched clothes. The reason it's likely the dream self is because her eye and arm are intact again - her dream self had the eye and arm, her normal self had lost them. Pretty much the same thing that Sollux did after his death - his dream self took over.


 * As for the part about the dream selves dying... Nobody's sure exactly what's up with that statement. The best guess is that each troll had at least one death, normal or dream, and the remaining self had to continue on as the "normal" one, so none of them have the capacity to dream any longer. - Jumpjet2k 01:35, November 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I read further into it, and it appears a dream self can just be used as a replacement. How's that for abused game mechanics?

God Tier
I added in the picture of Vriska as she reached God Tiers, I just stuck it in her biography section. Anyone who wants to move it somewhere more appropriate, please do so.

--ChainsawMurderer53 19:51, December 23, 2010 (UTC)

Anybody wanta get her god tier on her character outfits?GreenBeanXD 01:16, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

Icon
I was thinking we should add a icon of the Sun opposite the Scorpio sign for Vriskas god tier like on Johns page.

I'd do it myself but i don't have acces to my regular PC.


 * Done and done. The yellow logo is quite poorly visible over the grey background though.
 * Also, please use the signature feature: it helps keeping track of when you posted.--RomancePhilologist 11:19, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

God Tier sprite
There were some pretty awesome sprite edits for Vriska and Aradia in the image manip thread on the forums, maybe we should add them. They're not canon though, I wanted to see opinions. Bommster 21:21, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * We'll probably see the actual sprites later, so hold off on that. ~ Octachor [[Image:EnglishO.gif|link=User:Octachoron]] n 21:35, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

Handwriting Quirk?
In regards to something written in the "typing quirks" section, I've never noticed a scorpio sign replacing the m's in her handwritten text. Is there a citation for when this (is shown to happen/ever happens)?

76.113.178.165 02:48, February 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * It is indeed mentioned in her character information (on the right side of the page, under the sprite gallery). There is no link to where this trait is shown, but I don't think that'd be particularly useful.-- romancePhilologist 09:52, February 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't want to have any inaccuracies in the pages though, so unless it can be verified, perhaps it should be removed.76.113.178.165 05:32, February 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * I did a search for ♏ and didn't find anything. 68.103.144.192 06:44, February 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * OK so since it was a handwritten note it wouldn't appear on the search page anyway probably. The edit adding this to her typing quirks appeared on 08/09/2010, so if there was a note it would be before then and probably around then? 68.103.144.192

Outfit
What is up with the colour tones in her outfits? If you look at Eightfold, and then Lens, you can see the clothes change colour. Did AH modify the image or something?


 * It might be related to gif compression. Gif changes the colours if it has to to match a certain pallet...I don't know much about it really, but it's noticable every now and then. One of the most prominent examples is John's green slime ghost turning blue in one panel.BitterLime 19:18, July 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm rather late but yes, it has to do with the GIF compression mode used. GIF images can only hold a maximum of 256 colors, and so it chooses and approximates colors for use in the palette. Varying results may be accrued from selecting an "Adaptive", "Selective", or "Strict" palette - some colors may be dramatically altered as was the case illustrated with John's green ghosty turning into a blue one. 202.138.134.132 09:23, October 26, 2011 (UTC)

Kanaya Matespritship "Required"
Did someone mean to put "requited" perhaps? Or are they just making that assumption based on Mindfang's relationship with the Dolorosa? - 98.219.183.127

I would would say it is just a typo and that it was supposed to be requited. The Light6 03:42, December 29, 2011 (UTC)

Outfits
For some reason, Vriska's God Tier outfits are under the Dream tab. I read farther up the page that there was confusion at some point as to whether Vriska's dreamself took over and changed outfits, but of course we now know that she ascended to God Tier in the typical fashion. So, should the outfits be under the Normal tab, or the Dream tab? I'm slightly confused. Michael Douglas 21:46, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

If you see the other charecters that have gone to God Tier, they all have their costumes under the dream tab as well. But I do see your point so we might need to fix that. Chezrush 22:36, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

New Update
Am I the only one who thinks Vriska is the troll seen in the new update? Should we put that picture on here?99.61.203.110 20:34, February 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * We can't be sure who exactly she is, so for now she has her own page. We need to have more info on her before we can put her on a different article, because she might be (a) Vriska, (a) Mindfang, or someone else altogether.BitterLime 21:14, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

Dead Fairy Sprite
Would someone mind ripping the second Vriska sprite from this page?

 * It doesn't need to be ripped, you just need to take a copy of File:Vriskawendy.png and blank the eye. The Light6 (talk) 14:58, July 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * And I just noticed that if we want to be pedantic dead, fairy Vriska isn't smiling. hmm. But anyhow he's the sprite with the blank eye: http://i.imgur.com/QRD0X.png The Light6 (talk) 15:04, July 26, 2012 (UTC)

Vriska 'murdered' Tavros
How could that be a murder? Tavros attacked, Vriska countered lethally. Granted, she did instigate to the best of her (considerable) ability, and immensely outmatched him in a duel, but it was still a duel that he chose to engage in. If Terezi was presented with all the evidence of the circumstances, would she still judge it to be a murder? DokEnkephalin (talk) 21:04, October 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * It could be considered murder because while Tavros chose to instigate it Vriska didn't need to kill him. In fact Vriska later said as much and claimed she killed him because she wanted to. - The Light6 (talk) 00:25, October 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * True, she did want to kill him, but probably wouldn't have if he hadn't wanted to punch a lance through her. So what she did was worse than murdering the most decent troll around -- she made the most decent troll around hate her enough to want to kill her. It's still not murder; she may have instigated it, but he initiated it. DokEnkephalin (talk) 15:39, January 12, 2013 (UTC)

To use the term 'murder' every time that 'kill' would suffice lacks editorial objectivity. If any character has the authority to rule it murder under trollish laws and customs, it would be Terezi, but she never quite made that conclusive, even under her limited understanding of the case.

Blanking/Spamming
Okay, seriously, what's with all the goddamn not-logged-in users wasting time here? I'm getting sick of this. It doesn't matter if, on a personal level, she's insufferable or not. The page is not for striking back at Vriska or even voicing your opinions. Have you taken measures to counteract this cancer of spam? MadHatter121 (talk) 18:56, October 13, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, it's getting R--EELY annoying. Could we put locks on it?

~ anzk ji  | chat?  19:15, October 13, 2012 (UTC)

You have to admit, replacing Vriska's image with a picture of a vagina is pretty clever. She is a bit of a cunt sometimes.75.175.72.145 20:33, October 13, 2012 (UTC)

No it's not. This page is long overdue for autoconfirmed protection. Elassint 13 October 2012

I feel so bad for you guys, looking through revision histories and all I'm seeing is spam and page fixing over and over again for so many pages, not just this one.

Serbo-Croatian
From the Trivia section:

"Vriska" means 'screaming' in Croatian.

As far as I can tell from internet searches of Serbo-Croatian dictionaries, vriska (or more commonly vrisak) refers to the noun scream, shriek, rather than the participle screaming. I would change this but the article is locked. 110.175.156.16 05:56, November 8, 2012 (UTC)

When was it ever confirmed that Vriska is in a matespritship with Tavros? It mostly seems like he just wants to be, but she doesn't actually return his feelings, after all, she doesn't once indicate that they're together, and John even points out how odd Tavros' behavior is, which Vriska agrees with.

Vriska controlling Hussie
http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004969

Where it says that Vriska is able to control Hussie, the above is the correct panel (I believe). The current link leads to a panel of John Egbert sitting on his bed with Nannasprite. If someone could edit that that would be A+!


 * I'll get right on that! Aepokk Venset 00:37, March 3, 2013 (UTC)

Trollian handle
Is Vriska's Trollian handle not also a reference to her Zodiac sign? Scorpions are unusual arachnids in that they have the ability to grip anything at all with their claws. 76.20.237.195 23:18, March 3, 2013 (UTC)

Intent to kill Terezi?
"Vriska may have expected Terezi to wander blind and lost until she died of exposure or at the hands of terrifying monsters."

As of this page we know that Vriska immediately trolled Terezi following the psychic double reacharound. She seems completely aware of Terezi's condition, offering to mind control someone to function as an assistant to help offset the disability. I would take this as a strong indication that Vriska had no intention of actually killing Terezi. However, I am somewhat biased towards always seeing the best in Vriska. In the interest of fairness, I'd like to propose adding this alternate theory somewhere, as I've seen done in many instances where there are point and counterpoint on the same page. I'm not a member of this wiki but can be reached at the signed address.

Bait?
Just wondering, but how would Vriska write the word "bait"? 2myname1 (talk) 04:19, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Cobalt Thief Morse Code
Apparently, towards the end of Cobalt Thief there is some morse code, it's "Please help him". It IS canon that Vriska knows morse code, seen here. Coincidence? I think not! 71.217.193.26 03:42, August 6, 2013 (UTC)
