Character Name: Envy Adams
... For marketing purposes just Envy. Nat to her dad, En to her husband, N.V. on her nametag at this reunion, Natalie Valentine Lee Adams on official paperwork.
Age at the Reunion: 40-ish. Specific age none of your damn business.
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: Envy, being about 15+ years post-canon, hasn't responded to her original name from anyone but her parents for the last two decades, but has also been a more or less relevant figure in art rock for about the same amount of time, having gone solo when she was 25 and stayed that way ever since. She's used her Fandom past as a gateway into spreading her music across several universes to great acclaim, is the head of her own record/multimedia company (although the day-to-day business is naturally handled by other people), and basically a multiversal indie rock queen.

Also, she's married to Lucas Lee. Yes, that Lucas Lee. He's won a couple of Oscars by now. Their wedding a couple of years ago would have been kind of a big deal had they not eloped.
How Your Character Can Fit In: Envy would have kept in touch with the few good friends she has, provided they managed to put up with her during her kind of fame-obsessed mid-twenties where she turned into a bitch for a minute. Also, if there are people who'd have worked for her company at some point, I'd be open to that.

Other than that, she's also multiversally famous in moddable universes, so I'm more than cool with people going "holy crap Envy Adams went to my school?!" even if they don't know her in the mainstream timeline at all. SOMEONE ASK HER FOR AN AUTOGRAPH.

A.) Envy/Lucas Lee is the perfect couple and I don't know why I never thought of it before. APPROVE.

B.) I don't know why, but it would amuse me verily if in the future, Topher and Envy were somehow friends. They're equally ambitious and kinda amoral now! And he's not quite as flaily and scared of girls anymore, but is instead about ten times as useful for someone like Envy what with his apparently limitless connections to useful people who are ever so willing to do favors for him!

And canonically there's this one episode where he's assigned to program Eliza Dushku's character to be a backup dancer/bodyguard for a diva pop star and idek what I'm even suggesting here but I was watching it today and loled because it made me think of Envy.

A.) RIGHT? I can't take credit for realizing it on my own – one of the best Envys I've seen was involved with the (also really good) Lucas Lee in her game, and it's kind of stuck with me ever since. AND NOW I FINALLY GET TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT, YES.

B.) I would want to do something with that, yes! I mean, 40-something Envy is way past either needing or wanting to step on people to get what she wants and as such is not that amoral (despite what a certain Mr. LaCroix thinks...) because she's way too established a figure everywhere she wants to be by now, BUT WE WILL FIGURE OUT SOMETHING. Even if it's just that she's still kind of keeping an eye on him out of some misplaced sense of Wiggin-adjacent camaraderie.
