If you’ve missed the first two posts in this series, you can find Ellie here and Parker here. This week, I have facts about our antagonist, Missy!
Things you need to know about Missy Johnson:
1. Missy is the only other allo cishet character in the main cast besides Parker. She’s also a blonde white girl with blue eyes of European descent with a Christian upbringing. (Parker clearly has a type. :P) If you want a visual or like doing fancasts, picture Natalie Dormer.
2. She met Parker during their first year university English class. They were partnered together on an assignment and bonded over their mutual love of comic books. Missy ended up asking Parker out because he was too shy to do it.
3. Missy has been cosplaying for about a decade and she’s been an invited guest at conventions in several provinces for over five years. She has a big enough following that cosplay is now her full-time job, with money coming from her Patreon page and the handmade props that she sells.
4. The cosplay that made her famous was a genderbent Joker. Because of that, she switched from cosplaying under her real name, Melissa Johnson, to the pseudonym Missy Jay. She now predominantly cosplays genderbent superheroes and villains but she does occasionally do video game characters as well.
5. She’s ridiculously competitive to the point of keeping tabs on anyone she deems a potential threat. She’ll pay attention to how they market themselves on social media and take any techniques she feels would help her. She’ll also analyze their cosplays to find ways she can improve and/or outdo them.
Is there anything else you’d like to know about Missy? Missy’s full name came from a few different fandoms I’m in. Can you guess what they are? Let me know in the comments!
