4	Trickywi, better known as Tricky, is an Egyptian-American [[OurSphinxesAreDifferent sphinxlike]] [[HarpingOnAboutHarpies Harpy]] [[MonsterGirl Dragon-girl]] [[VirtualYouTuber VTuber]].
5
6	Tricky was once an [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch]] [[RealityWarper reality-warping]] [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Egyptian deity]] named Nephasis that once brought calamity on the planet. Unlike others of her kind, she lacked an intrinsic element, which led to her [[BlackSheep ostracisation.]] Eventually, this rejection brewed a bitterness that drove her to find an element of her own. During her travels, she was tricked by a group of bandits to help steal a cursed relic. She didn't know that the relic had so much power, [[DrunkWithPower so she went mad]] and started a battle she eventually lost. She was left for dead, but a wandering old woman, who became her foster grandmother, found her and nursed her back to health. Tricky regained consciousness, but she had lost all of her memories. She eventually sought to reform herself and regain her lost powers.

11	!!Tropes applying to Trickywi:
12	* AmnesiacHero: After a battle she eventually lost, Tricky was found by a wandering old woman, who became a foster grandmother. She regained her consciousness, but not her memories.
13	* AncientEgypt: Her entire backstory, character design, symbols, background music, and powers harken back to that era.
14	* AnimalLover: Trickywi is incredibly enamored by all things animal... [[SpidersAreScary save for eight-legged creepy crawlies]].
15	* AnimalMotif: Even without her harpy dragon-esque background, Tricky has often been compared to a bird given both her inquisitive nature and ''extremely'' distinctive bird-like screech.
16	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Is ''very'' excitable and ''very'' easily distracted by random things, even while streaming.
17	* BeautifulAllAlong: Like [[WebVideo/SanagiYuzu Yuzu]], Trickywi is one of the few [=VTubers=] who isn't shy in showing her real-life face. This makes sense as she ''was'' a live streamer before jumping into [=VTubing=], so she has no qualms if her face was shown, much to Numi's panic attack when that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee4td1enPpk actually happened.]] And yes, she is quite pretty.
18	* BerserkButton: It is ''very'' rare and ''very'' hard to piss off someone considered a human Golden Retriever, but one thing that consistently makes her angry is bullies, which makes sense given her past experience with it (more of which can be read in the YMMV page).
19	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She is among one of the nicest and most open-minded [=VTubers=], and is willing to show she cares for others, but she can be quite a CompetitionFreak and has a strong dislike for bullies.
20	* BlackEyesOfCrazy: She has black eyes and went completely mad according to her backstory. By now, her craziness has been mostly replaced by ADHD.
21	* BlackSheep: According to her lore, as a deity, Trickywi was rejected by the other gods for not having a divine domain to call her own. This may reflect the real Tricky's history of getting bullied at school, explaining her BerserkButton above.
22	* BrainBleach: Tricky listened to an AI [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Zb1ePgeQN0 sing the incredibly sexually explicit CPR song]] in WebVideo/{{Filian}}'s voice. She immediately stopped [[OutOfCharacterAlert when the voice moaned]], knowing that this is something that [[ParalyzingFearOfSexuality the real Filian]] would '''''never''''' do.
23	* CuteButCacophonic: As adorable as she is, it's not recommended to watch her while wearing headphones, because she can go ''really'' high-pitched when excited.
24	* CuteMonsterGirl: An attractive Egyptian harpy sporting draconic features.
25	* DestructoNookie: As chronicled in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oaq_7Snzyic&pp=ygUSdHJpY2t5d2kgYmVkIHN0b3J5 this video]], when she was briefly in a friends-with-benefits situation with fellow [=VTuber=] Baken, they accidentally destroyed their bed in the process. An attempt to return it to the Lowe's they bought it from under the pretense of it being defective was not successful; the associates knew right away what happened and just congratulated them.
26	* TheDitz: Her easily excitable persona means that she has no idea what is happening half the time.
27	* Myth/EgyptianMythology: While she does not explicitly correspond to any specific creature of Egyptian legends, she is sorta sphinxlike.
28	* ExpressiveShirt: The face drawn on her shirt in her default outfit and on the part of the bandage covering her boobs can change expressions and blink in unison with her.
29	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Her ''very'' energetic personality means that she sometimes says very ''strange'' things.
30	* {{Familiar}}: She has six ghost-like familiars following her around; they are Cupid, Xiboo, Chillaboo, Spoodle, Diaboo, and Booba.
31	* FanCommunityNickname: Trickywi's fanbase is called the ''Tricksters''.
32	* FunPersonified: She ''exudes'' that aura.
33	* GenkiGirl: Possibly ''THE'' most Genki Girl in the entirety of the [=VTuber=] space. Trickywi's personality is often compared to a Golden Retriever on ''caffeinated speed'', and it is not uncommon for her model to fly ''all over the place'' whenever she gets excited. And she is rarely ''not'' excited.
34	* GirlPosse: Trickywi is sometimes part of what some may unofficially call the "Big Six" Indie Vtubers (They are called that as they are the most famous Indie Vtubers with pretty large fanbases of their own), with the other five being [[WebVideo/AkumaNihmune Numi]], [[WebVideo/{{Shylily}} Shylily]], [[WebVideo/JuniperActias Juniper Actias]], [[WebVideo/BaoTheWhale Bao]] and [[WebVideo/SanagiYuzu Yuzu]]. They are often the ones Trickywi most likely collab with.
35	** Collectively, the "Big Six" is best known by their nickname as the [[MischiefForPunishment "Bottom Queens"]] due to their... shared behaviour...
36	* HarpingOnAboutHarpies: As a WingedHumanoid woman, her form generally resembles that of a harpy, although unlike traditional harpies, she also has arms, instead of just wings and legs. In addition, she had draconic elements.
37	* IJustWantToBeNormal: She has an initial inclination towards a life of crime and piracy, contrasting with her eventual desire for reform.
38	* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Despite wearing only a couple of straps of bandages of her new model, Trickywi herself is nothing more than a bundle of joy.
39	* LittleBitBeastly: As a Harpy Dragon, she spots horns, cat-like feathery ears, claws, feathery tail and wings, feathers on her forehead and cat-like irises.
40	* LovableSexManiac: Inevitable, given that Trickywi is a Bottom Queen. Trickywi may take part in crude jokes here and there, and she might wear... nearly nothing at all, but on the other hand, most of her content is her reacting to funny/nonchalant stuff or streaming games.
41	* MixAndMatchCritters: As a Harpy Dragon, she bears features of both a harpy and a dragon, with some sphinx elements mixed in for good measure.
42	* MotorMouth: As a GenkiGirl in real life, this comes naturally as a result.
43	* NephariousPharaoh: Her Pharaoh outfit is obviously this, albeit a downplayed example as there is nothing malicious with Tricky (if you discount the [[DrunkWithPower madness]] she has fallen prey to in the past from picking up a cursed artifact).
44	* NeverGetsDrunk: Trickywi has very high alcohol tolerance and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1aQ2OyQo8M can drink high-strength concentrated whisky as if it were water]].
45	* OurSphinxesAreDifferent: Downplayed trope, she ''looks'' like one, but officially she is a Harpy Dragon.
46	* PhysicalGod: She was supposedly a deity once, but had no divine domain of her own, leading to her ostracization by other gods.
47	* PlayfulCatSmile: She bears one, as does the face drawn on her shirt and bandage.
48	* RoseHairedSweetie: She has bright pink hair and is very sweet and energetic.
49	* ScreamingWoman: Trickywi is notable for her hyper-energetic shouting matches, and her screams can get ''really'' loud, shrill, and ear-piercing, especially when forced to play ''any'' game with ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rrz-LTsLmbI spiders]]'' in it. Her screams are so loud [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMIVaEFhaDw her neighbors once called the cops on her out of worry that she was getting seriously attacked]].
50	* SeductiveMummy: Befitting her Egyptian theming, she has a 'bandaged' model, although the bandages don't cover her whole body and in fact just ''barely'' cover her... assets.
51	* SignatureRoar: Her excited (or terrified) screech is unmistakable for anyone else's.
52	* SmarterThanYouLook: Despite her ditziness, Tricky is actually very knowledgeable on Egyptian mythology and history, so her Egyptian-inspired design isn't just for show given that she stated that the Goddess Nephthys was a big inspiration.
53	* SpidersAreScary: Remember how we stated that Trickywi is fond of ''nearly'' all animals? Yeah, she is an acute arachnophobe.
54	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her 'bandage' model leaves very little to the imagination.
55	* SupernaturalGoldEyes: She has golden eyes, which makes sense given her mythical nature.
56	* {{Squee}}: Constantly prone to this, given her sunshine personality.
57	** This goes triple when - just like fellow Bottom Queen [[WebVideo/BaoTheWhale Bao]] with [[Characters/EldenRingSecondaryCharacters Blaidd]] - she was given a personal video from the [=VAs=] of [[Characters/BaldursGateIIIOriginCharacters Astarion, Neil Newbon,]] from Baldur's Gate III ''and'' [[Characters/ResidentEvilLeonSKennedy Leon Kennedy]], [[Creator/NickApostolides Nick Apostolides]] from Resident Evil on her birthday. To say she Squeed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Uze5WrPlU on both of them]] is an ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDu5dXcTp10 understatement]]''.
58	* TheTrickster: As her mischievous and playful nature shows, she's not called '''Tricky'''wi for nothing.
59	* VitriolicBestBuds: Trickywi is most commonly seen with Shylily, Bao, and Numi. She is also close with Yuzu and has recently been friends with Juniper. Outside of the Bottom Queens, she is often seen with Vienna.
60	* WomanChild: Her very excitable personality would make newcomers think she is much younger than she is.
61	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Trickywi has arachnophobia, and tends to scream very loudly (or to emit unintelligible noises) when playing games with spiders in it or when she sees a monster in the shape of a spider.
62	* VocalDissonance: If you look at Trickywi's real face, she looks very mature, so you would naturally expect that she would have a deep, womanly voice right? Nope. Her voice is ''very'' identifiable for how squeaky and high-pitched it is, and her screams can reach tones that don't sound like they should come from a human.
