In Paradox Space[]
Critical Miss[]
Vriska and Eridan Ampora face off in a Flarp battle. Vriska rolls a lucky 20 on her dice roll. While Eridan is distracted with his own bad roll, Vriska rolls to fire her cannons at Eridan's ship. She gets a critical hit, to which Eridan accuses her of cheating. Vriska denies this and demands all his treasure and slaves, who are hired lowbloods. Eridan accuses Vriska of planning to feed the lowbloods to her lusus, which Vriska does not deny. She threatens him and then attacks him after he misinterprets her threat as caliginous flirting, leaving his ship a flaming wreck.
Con Faire[]
Vriska competes in the Teen Con Air Finals, a Con Air ending scene reenactment competition. Her teammates are Caliborn, Lil Cal, and Lil Seb. After performing, Vriska taunts John's team, made up of John, Roxy Lalonde, and Casey. Vriska's team is initially crowned the victors before their prize, a grand prize house cup and an autographed soundtrack CD, is actually rewarded to John's team. Vriska is distraught at her loss.
Secret Sufferer[]
While discussing the similarities between the human Secret Santa and troll Secret Sufferer traditions, Terezi Pyrope reveals that one year, for the groups 12th Perigee's Eve Secret Sufferer event, Vriska sent everyone doomsday devices. Only one worked, killing the former thirteenth member of their group.
In the "Secret Sufferer Is Comin' To The Municipal Community Gathering Of Citizens" intermission, Vriska is mistakenly gifted shipping charts on stone tablets after the Secret Sufferer gifts get mixed up. She finds use for them as blunt objects to kill other trolls to feed to her lusus.
Summerteen Romance[]
Vriska stars as a character in a “COMING-OF-AGE ROMANTIC DRAMEDY SCREENPLAY”written by Karkat Vantas. She arrives at Camp Sgrub with the her fellow campers. When they make it to the cabins, Vriska tries to challenge Terezi over who gets the top bunk with a roll of the an eight sided die, but Terezi tries bunks with Nepeta Leijon instead. Vriska kicks Nepeta's bag off the bunk and taunts her. As the fight is about to escalate, Karkat's self insert interrupts the fight. Afterwards, Terezi gives Vriska a long look of disapproval.
After being welcomed to the camp by counselor Bro and "Big Cal," everyone heads to the beach. While Vriska seems disinterested in the prospect of the beach, she is shown genuinely destressing while lounging with Terezi. When Karkat's original characters based on Dave Strider, Sweet Bro, Hella Jeff, and Geromy show up, they mention a secret treasure, which Vriska is excited about. They also insult most of the campers, calling Vriska “some hipster”. Once the campers at surrounding a campfire, Vriska asks Bro about the secret treasure. Bro calls it a myth, but also mentions there being a map.
Later, during the night, Vriska and Terezi draw on Bro's face with a marker. Feferi Peixes brings out "drugs" (revealed later to be Drug brand root beer), which impresses Vriska. Vriska suggests going out to the woods to do drugs so they do not get caught. She is joined by Terezi, Feferi, Karkat, Nepeta, Equius, Kanaya, and Sollux. Vriska mocks Tavros Nitram for not joining them. Vriska leds the group deep into the woods, where they find the map to the secret treasure, along with Aradia Megido's skeleton. Aradia's ghost appears and tries to warn them to leave the woods before the monster appears, but she's too late and the monster is already there. Vriska looks scared and runs away with the others.
After a time skip, Vriska claims to have lost the treasure map. After a second time skip, Vriska is on the beach to witness Big Cal sell Camp Sgrub to Dave and a rap-off between Dave and Tavros. During the rap off, Vriska tries to abscond with the treasure map but is stopped by Terezi. They have a moment and Terezi offers to let Vriska play the hero. Vriska comes back to the beach and reveals that the treasure map was the real treasure all along, with it being a check for "a bromillion dollars," and the treasure chest was actually the real map.
At the end of the story, Vriska can be seen smiling while sitting with Terezi and Sollux.
Vrisky Business[]
Vriska, profusely bleeding, shows up at Equius Zahhak's hive after having her arm and eye blown up by Doc Scratch's cue ball. She asks for a cup of spiders before asking Equius how he is. Equius asks what happened to her arm and eye and asks about the noise at her hive. Meanwhile, Vriska hints at Equius helping her out with cybernetic prosthetics, claims that she simply stubbed her arm and eye, and denies there having been an explosion.
Vriska changes the subject, asking to bring Equius a towel before being told his lusus will bring one. She expresses jealousy of his relationship with his lusus, jealous that his lusus serves him instead of vice versa. Vriska then slips and falls to the ground, knocking stuff off of Equius' workbench and getting more blood all over the floor.
Vriska gets back up and compliments Equius' work ethic. Equius' lusus appears with towels and Vriska uses one to mop up the blood she's getting on the floor. While mopping up blood, Vriska unintentionally mentions Terezi and becomes visibly upset about Terezi's life seeming idyllic compared to her own. Vriska cries and yells about hearing her lusus in her head before passing out. Equius proceeds to pick her up and carry her body somewhere, presumably to give Vriska her cybernetic prosthetic.
In Pesterquest[]
Vriska Serket appears as a befriendable character in Pesterquest: Volume 6 alongside Gamzee Makara. She later reappears in Volume 7 and 8.

Volume: Meat[]
Vriska is standing in the Furthest Ring moments after leading the ghost army to Lord English and opening the chest containing the Juju. She stands off to the side, waiting for the door on its surface to open and defeat him. As Vriska stares down Lord English and judges his gaudy appearance, Meenah tells her she's returning to the army and invites Vriska to join. Vriska wants to take a minute to await the Juju opening, so Meenah simply gives her a grin, salutes, and leaves. Vriska is excited to be at the end of the universe, and Lord English puts another crack in reality as she watches, impressed. However, she is abruptly knocked back as one of the falling shards of reality hits her hard in the head, but she braces through it, crying laughing. Tavros asks if she's okay, and she puts a hand to her wound to find that one side of her head is entirely soaked with blood, and spreading. Her head is spinning, but she clings to denial and rage. Tavros tries again to help her, but she pushes him away and tells him to go find Meenah. He obliges, running off to join the rest of the army.
Vriska is still straining to focus on the battle, to take it all in, when she notices a message notification in her glasses from Terezi. She has no idea how long it's been there, but ignores it. Without Tavros there to ground her, however, she quickly finds herself lifting off the ground, and realizes the black hole is pulling her in. Her gaze snaps to the Juju again, obsessed with seeing what happens despite the blood in her eyes, waiting, wondering where Meenah is. She tries desperately to touch back down on the ground, to reach out to the Juju, to no avail. As she flails, another shard pierces her in the chest, sending her faster into the singularity. Vriska is horrified as the reality of her fate settles in, and she screams as she falls into the black hole entirely, moments before John finally emerges from the Juju.
Volume: Candy[]
While the war between President Jane Crocker and Karkat Vantas has just begun, the black hole that Vriska fell into delivers her to the Candy timeline of Earth C. John, who was observing the war at the time, runs into Vriska and realizes who she is. Vriska is confused at first and makes a fuss about needing to go back to see what happened during the battle with Lord English. Vriska eventually calms down and questions John about his age, which John uses as an opportunity to try and catch Vriska up on the existence of Rose and Kanaya's daughter who is also named Vriska. John then mentions how the existence of two Vriskas would then make the original "(Vriska)" since she is the second one to arrive on Earth C. (Vriska) is then referred to with parenthesis around her name for the rest of the epilogues. (Vriska) of course, was not a fan of this change. John then continues to talk about how the world has evolved since John chose the Candy and (Vriska) mainly responds with confusion along with remarks about how dumb it all sounds to her.
Gamzee shows up soon after this conversation. He welcomes (Vriska) to Earth C and invites her on a journey of "redemption" similar to the one he went on ever since John brought him back to Earth C. (Vriska) is personally offended by simply having to listen to Gamzee say all of this to her, and goes into a rage after Gamzee puts his hand on (Vriska's) shoulder. She starts to beat him up in various ways, reducing him to a bruised and bloody mess. Vriska eventually notices Gamzee looking at her with lust and in her caliginous rage, (Vriska) starts to make out with him.
Rose and her daughter Vriska (who will be referred to by her name in HS:BC, "Vrissy," to avoid confusion) arrive and talk with John for a bit before Vrissy walks past the bush obscuring (Vriska) and Gamzee in the middle of their caliginous makeout session. Vrissy then runs away from the scene and hides in a bush while (Vriska) is left in a state of shock and denial of what just happened. She is forced to confront the situation once Gamzee starts talking. At first he invites (Vriska) back to the grassy floor to continue their session. (Vriska) not only denies the offer, but also denies that anything even happened between them. Gamzee then immediately goes against Vriska's wishes and starts trying to text Karkat about what happened which makes (Vriska) even more infuriated. Gamzee then expresses feelings of being unsafe and taken advantage of which (Vriska) then has to argue that the whole situation was consensual and that Gamzee doesn't actually mean anything he's saying. Even after Gamzee says he'll keep quiet, (Vriska) is so enraged that she tackles him to the ground and begins to strangle him. This makes (Vriska), after everyone who has tried before her, the first person to successfully kill Gamzee for good.
Vrissy witnesses all of this, and (Vriska) decides to get up and introduce herself to her Earth C counterpart. They spend some time together looking up at the sky and observing the clouds while using Gamzee's corpse as a pillow. They continue to talk, having conversations about what (Vriska's) life was like on Alternia, her relationship with Vrissy's troll mom, John's potential in terms of his power, and how John used to have occasional conversations with Terezi while she out looking for (Vriska). Vrissy reveals that she stole John's phone and (Vriska) is able to look through all the conversations between John and Terezi. (Vriska) then uses the phone to try and contact Terezi, but Terezi never sees them, likely due to her being transported to the Meat version of Earth C by that timeline's respective version of John.
In Homestuck: Beyond Canon[]
Locked in a “deserted jail cell” with her descendant, Vrissy passes the elder Vriska's test by simply mind controlling one of the prison's guards into releasing them. The two part ways, with Vrissy hitching a ride elsewhere while Vriska heads further into the facility through the air vents. From her hiding place, Vriska observes Jane Crocker's plan to attack The Plot Point, and passes this information - along with her observation that the world they live in is “a fake! Fakey fake fake.” - over to John, who has come to collect her at Roxy and Calliope's request in order to “create an event of sUch catalcysmic proportions that it simply cannot be contained within the black hole any more.”
Inside The Plot Point[]
The Plot Point, in fact the singularity of the black hole which has consumed the Earth C of Volume: Candy, pulls Vriska inside, and she finds herself in a world closely resembling her childhood home, ironically surrounded by a phantom herd of ghost-white horses. Inside, she is greeted by a host of sprites, including both Nannasprites, Erisolsprite, Gcatavrosprite and led by Davepetasprite^2, who have spontaneously found themselves within The Plot Point at the moment of Vriska's arrival. Whether she likes it or not, it's time for her to “GET RIII[...]IIIPPPPPPPPPED!”, and she is thrust into a session of self-improvement.
Encountering a version of Tavros Nitram from before she paralyzed him, Vriska determines that she's being confronted with the ghosts of her past and decides to “speedrun enlightenment” by apologizing to him. When that proves ineffective, she decides he needs to take revenge on her and make them even. Tavros refuses so Vriska forces his hand, compelling him to throw his lance at her, killing her. She awakens again on the same beach, discovering that time within The Plot Point will loop if she does not follow the correct path laid out for her.
Vriska spends a year trying to overcome this obstacle, aging in real time as Tavros remains the same each time the loop restarts. She seeks Davepetasprite^2's guidance, but they're unable to help her, so Vriska again talks to Tavros and agrees to play a game with him; winning easily, she becomes frustrated that Tavros doesn't care about losing. They are interrupted by Aradiabot, and Vriska is suddenly transported to the Land of Maps and Treasure where they argue and Vriska is tempted to manipulate Aradia into seeing her side of things. Aradiabot tells Vriska that she has passed her test, and the two lowbloods lay vriska down in her Quest Cocoon, holding her hands as she apologizes and promises to be better. Closing her eyes, she achieves the rung of 8oundary Respecter on her echeladder.
Year 4 inside The Plot Point[]
Vriska discusses with Nannasprite their respective struggles with parental figures. Sufficiently pep-talked, Vriska goes off to face an amalgamation of Mindfang and her lusus, and ultimately comes to accept that there's nothing her lusus can offer her. Rather than kill her, Vriska walks away, “not going to look 8ack”. This earns her the Funeral Pyre echeladder rung.
Gcatavrosprite and Erisolsprite attempt to convince Vriska to take a break before facing her next challenge, but undeterred, Vriska enters Doc Scratch's parlor. Quickly shaken by his presence, Scratch shrinks Vriska down to the size of a chess piece on his chess board and regresses her back to her childhood appearance. As he calls out moves, she is forced to kill chess pieces representing her friends, becoming more and more emotionally distraught until she eventually asks to leave for a do-over, which Doc Scratch refuses to give her. He warns that he's going to give her choices with “the potential to do terrible things”, and that he looks forward to seeing what she chooses, then lets her leave. She advances fewer rungs at the end of this encounter, reaching only the level of Pavlov's Dawgg.
Davepetasprite^2 and Fefetasprite wish Vriska luck on her final challenge; when Vriska questions how Davepetasprite^2 and Fefetasprite can both be Nepeta, Fefetasprite suddenly disappears, having been sent “to sprite city”. Expecting to see Terezi as her final challenge, Vriska is instead confronted with the younger alternate (Vriska). The older Vriska apologizes, but when (Vriska) gestures for a hug Vriska refuses, and wakes up again on the beach outside of her hive.

Trivia[]
- Vriska is heavily implied to be transgender in her Pesterquest appearance, in which she emphasizes the gender on her Flarp sheet, insists the player not call her "dude," and speaks on a desire to be someone else. This is corroborated by the route's author Kate Mitchell's active engagement with tweets on the topic surrounding the route's release, including liking a tweet stating that "Vriska is literally, canonically, in every sense of the word, a trans girl."[citation needed] Twitter user @furryIatula, who found Toblerone #10 in the Toblerone Hunt, had previously requested that trans Vriska be made canon, something Andrew Hussie passed onto the creative team.[citation needed]
- Vriska is also implied to be dyspraxic in her Pesterquest route, as dyspraxia is mentioned in the warning section, and she is shown to struggle with movement abilities throughout it.
Notes[]
- ↑ Introduced at 6 sweeps (13 years), Vriska spends 3 years travelling on the meteor to the final battle with Lord English, soon after which she finds herself on Earth C and spends a further 4 years inside The Plot Point.
