Technolike

A humanoid with flesh-colored skin and a completely purple bob, held in place by a blue headband. Her eyes glow bright purple. She wears a long pink sweater with blue cuffs, pink pants, fingerless gloves, and pink sneakers with blue soles. Lonely but creative: In reality, her peers often make fun of her, which causes her to develop a strong insecurity. The Metaverse is a chance for her to find acceptance and friends. She is very creative, although her content initially didn't attract views. Stubborn and determined: Behind her outward shyness and awkwardness lies a strong core. When faced with systemic injustice, Annette is ready to go all the way. When communicating with her best friend, Max, she relaxes and can be mischievous, grimacing, or even rude. Hacking skills: The girl has an excellent, almost professional-level knowledge of the Tekhnolike system bugs. She masterfully exploits these coding errors to move stealthily through the digital world and infiltrate classified areas.

She is the very first, "ancient" Idol of the Metaverse, who ruled the Digital World 10 years ago. After a major update, she was archived and replaced by a new generation of Idols (led by Like), but due to a bug caused by Annette, Rose managed to break free from the system's confinement. She has pale lilac (almost gray) skin. Her eyes glow a cool neon purple, and dark "shadows" are visible beneath them, emphasizing her sinister status. Hair: Long, dark purple, curled at the ends into rosebuds or thorns. On her head, she wears a disheveled black crown—a symbol of her lost sole power. Costume: Rose wears a gothic digital dress in shades of dark purple and black. The hem of her dress resembles the petals of a dying rose, and the shoulders and details of her costume feature sharp, thorn-like elements. Visual glitches (digital interference) periodically run across her body. Cruel and Brazen: Rose's true nature is devoid of any compassion. She is willing to do anything to regain control of Technolike and destroy the new generation of idols, whom she considers "fakes." Secretive: To avoid detection by security algorithms and the Captain, Rose is forced to constantly hide in the shadows of the network, wear masks, and operate through proxy means. Cunning Strategist: She does not attack openly, but exploits hidden system vulnerabilities, orchestrates digital sabotage, and sets traps for Annette and Like. To achieve her goals, she will unhesitatingly betray or even delete her own temporary assistants. Rose's main goal is to completely erase the current version of the metaverse, overthrow Like, and restore the days of her absolute rule. Each of her interventions creates new glitches and system failures, which the protagonists must contend with.
