"Applause, cheers, happiness! Cheer up, folks! 'Cause, well, it's SHOW TIME!! No one have ever seen something like that, don't ya think?! Well, I guess..."
Maria Silva, also known as Stripe, is a "supervillainess" known for her great, yet peculiar, power. She is one of the first antagonists in Cronikus.

Power-Level: At least 4-B, up to 1-C w/ Cartoon Physics
Appearance
Normally, Maria is a young woman of average stature and skinny built common to someone of her age. She has a white skin, back-lenght black hair (which are mostly always tied up as twin-tails), and her eyes are pink (formerly brown, before acquiring her powers).
Maria is dressed in a white japanese sailor shirt with black trimming and a pink tie, and a black pleated skirt. She wears striped socks in white and black color, and black sneakers with white soles. Sometimes, she will add a black jacket to her outfit.
Personality
Maria's personality is complex and multifaceted, but mostly a typical genki girl. She is an excitable, fancy and narcissistic girl with a great superiority complex. She doesn't care about anyone other than herself, except for the times when she has shown to be not apathetic, displaying her emotional side and her concern about how people may view her. She can be mean, but she has some redeeming qualities that show she is not completely heartless.
When Maria uses her powers, she transforms into an entirely different person. Her normal ambiverted personality is replaced with an extremely extroverted, silly, chaotic, and ignorant one. She becomes oblivious to the problems she causes and is totally irresponsible and crazy, turning her into a risk for anyone who is close to her.
At times, she can be insane, sociopathic, and sadistic, and she finds pleasure in cutting enemies with her scythe or smashing them with her great plastic, but deadly, sledgehammer. She also has a tendency to hunt down people to torment them when she is bored, which earned her the reputation of being a "maniac girl".
Despite her mostly crazy mindset, Maria is not a maniac, and she never goes too far on something like outright killing others. She would never hurt others for the sake of her "beloved", even though she is deeply in love with him.
Powers and Abilities
Superhuman Physiology: Maria possesses an extraordinary superhuman physiology, having acquired her powers through external sources. Her transformation occurred when she was exposed to inter-dimensional energies emanating from her television, granting her a peculiar and unconventional power known as the Toon Force. Speculation arose within the TGZ after encountering Narrative-Man, leading them to theorize that Maria obtained her abilities through a connection to him, primarily due to the interdimensional energy phenomenon.
Cartoon Physics: Maria's powers are derived from the Toon Force, which allows her to manifest and embody the characteristics of a cartoon character. With this ability, she can perform illogical and rule-defying feats, often for comedic effect. However, due to Maria's unique mindset, these seemingly harmless abilities can pose a significant threat even to immensely powerful individuals, including members of the TGZ. She has also developed the capacity to integrate her Toon Force powers into combat techniques.
4th Wall Awareness/Interaction: She possesses an acute awareness of her existence as a fictional character within an entirely fictional world. Despite this knowledge, she embraces her role and utilizes her power to interact directly with the audience, breaking the fourth wall and blurring the lines between reality and fiction.
Subjective Reality: The most powerful ability Maria acquired through the Toon Force is the manipulation and distortion of the boundaries between reality and fantasy. By merging with pictures, videos, and other media, she gains control over the levels of reality connected to those sources. This extraordinary power enables her to transform fictional concepts into tangible reality and vice versa, allowing her to manifest her imagination into actuality at will.
Reality Warping: In addition to her subjective reality manipulation, Maria possesses the ability to warp and manipulate the fabric of reality itself. With this power, she can reshape the environment, alter the laws of physics, and even rewrite the fundamental aspects of existence to suit her whims and desires.
Logic Manipulation: Leveraging her reality-warping powers, Maria possesses the capacity to mold and defy logic as she desires. For instance, she can flatten individuals upon impact, leaving them alive but compressed, or harm individuals with invulnerability and accelerated healing abilities, such as Ryan, as though he was normal humans.
Weather Manipulation: Maria's empathic connection with the emotions of those around her takes on a whimsical and comical twist when it comes to manipulating the weather. Instead of the usual weather phenomena, her powers manifest in exaggerated and exaggeratedly hilarious ways. For example, when Maria senses happiness or joy, fluffy cotton candy clouds materialize in the sky, showering everyone with confetti rain and rainbow-colored lightning bolts that crackle with laughter. If she detects anger or frustration, a miniature storm cloud forms above the person, drenching them in a downpour of oversized water droplets while tiny thunderbolts playfully zap around them like mischievous sparks.
Dimensional Storage: Utilizing the pockets in her skirts or even her own mouth, Maria gains access to an infinite-dimensional space. This extradimensional storage grants her the ability to retrieve or stow away virtually anything she desires.
Creation/Infinite Supply: As previously mentioned, Maria can summon an array of objects and items from her dimensional storage without limitation. She has an infinite supply at her disposal, allowing her to manifest items with specific characteristics or quantities.
Meta Summoning: Maria possesses the ability to summon a wide range of entities or objects from her dimensional storage, spanning from commonplace items to immensely powerful beings.
Flight: Embracing her cartoonish nature, Maria can effortlessly navigate through the air, enjoying the freedom of flight.
Meta Teleportation: Through her Toon Force abilities, Maria can instantly transport herself and others to any desired location, bypassing the constraints of time and space. Whether it's across the room or to a different universe, her teleportation powers grant her unparalleled mobility and the ability to appear or disappear at will.
Fiction Travel: Dissatisfied with her original universe, Maria employs her subjective reality abilities to traverse various fictional universes, constantly seeking new adventures and experiences beyond the confines of her home realm.
Dream Walking: Maria possesses the unique talent of entering and traversing the dreams of others. With this power, she can interact with the dreamscapes of individuals, shaping and manipulating the dream world to her liking. She can influence the events and outcomes of dreams, extract information, or even use the dream realm as a gateway to other dimensions or realities.
Shapeshifting/Elasticity: Maria exhibits the capability to stretch and contort her body in various ways, granting her the power of shapeshifting. With this ability, she can mimic the appearance and traits of other individuals, effectively imitating anyone she chooses. An example of this power is when she transformed into João, acquiring and utilizing all of his associated abilities.
Immortality and Invulnerability: Regardless of the extent of damage she sustains, Maria is impervious to harm, exhibiting invulnerability and immortality. She can endure even fatal injuries without succumbing to death.
Fictional Mimicry: Maria possesses the capacity to mimic the appearance, abilities, and characteristics of fictional characters. However, she predominantly employs this power for comedic effect, acknowledging that its immense potential makes it overpowered in most situations.
Additionally, Maria's powers encompass various other applications described within the Cartoon Physics page, allowing her to perform a myriad of fantastical feats limited only by her imagination and the rules of cartoon logic.
Abilities
Toon Combat: Maria has mastered the art of combat within the realm of cartoon physics. By incorporating her Toon Force powers into her fighting style, she can deliver devastating and unpredictable attacks. She can stretch her limbs to impossible lengths, summon cartoonish weaponry, and unleash a barrage of comical and reality-bending strikes, confounding her opponents and turning any battle into a whimsical and chaotic spectacle.
Scythe Proficiency: She has developed exceptional skill in wielding a scythe as her chosen weapon. She is proficient in both offensive and defensive techniques, using the scythe's sharp blade and long reach to her advantage. Whether it's executing swift and precise strikes or utilizing sweeping and spinning motions to create a whirlwind of destruction, her mastery of the scythe allows her to engage opponents with deadly precision and finesse.
Weaknesses
The Scythe of Kukkuroujishiko: Maria wields a formidable weapon known as the Scythe of Kukkuroujishiko. This scythe boasts twin blades crafted from gleaming silver, each with a darker edge, and a dark pink handle. While the name itself may not hold any particular significance, Maria found it cool and fitting for her weapon. Thanks to her powers, this scythe becomes an incredibly lethal tool. With a single swing, she can bring down even the most formidable opponents, defying logic and universal rules. The scythe possesses a supernatural cutting power, capable of slicing through any obstacle with ease. Its presence alone instills fear in the hearts of those who dare to face Maria in battle.
Dokher, the Sledgehammer: She also wields Dokher, a massive sledgehammer that defies expectations. Despite its construction from oversized plastic, Dokher is anything but a child's toy. It features a striking combination of black and red colors, adding to its visually imposing appearance. Similar to the scythe, Dokher possesses a deadly nature enhanced by Maria's powers. Despite its seemingly harmless materials, this oversized sledgehammer becomes a devastating weapon capable of dealing fatal blows to anyone in Maria's path.

Trivia
Stripe was created with the intention of existing a character with Toon Force in Cronikus, but also while being a "villain". As such, she is based on characters with the same power, but also kinda (in design) on Harley Quinn (DC Comics).
Like stated in the beginning, Maria is one of the first antagonists the TGZ faced in their journey as superheroes, and unlike most people that encountered with her, they knows she isn't actually invincible (as they were the first to know how to trick her). She's a more personal enemy to Fromthetime, as he was her first opponent among the group (and also because of their reality-related abilities).
Her favorite food is pão de queijo (a typical food from the brazilian state she came from).
Despite her blood-lusted nature, she doesn't actually finds fun on killing. Instead, she prefers to use her powers to satisfy herself in various ways (be it to entertainment, or even help her on more personal things).
If the had a theme song, it'd be #BrooklynBloodPop (Syko).
The preferred universes she tends to go with her Fiction Travel powers are the ones which exists people that are similar to her (someway or another).
She tends to team up with Black Lotus to "get revenge on the TGZ". In her case, however, isn't a matter of vengeance at all; but a motive so she can be "closer to a certain someone".
She also has a crush on Hyper, but he isn't interested on her. The reason of why she has that crush, it's because he's the first superhero that she knew about it's existence, and she find that really cool (but this was simply an appreciation, not love; the love is the result of her powers changing her psyche). Because of that, there are times where she tries to impress him with her powers. And while it certainly works, he still doesn't show any interest on her, stating that it's really annoying of her still bothering him every time they encounter with one another.
Even though she never destroyed anything to be able to scale her power, Maria already have shown to be capable of affecting one of the interdimensional bridges of the Interverse, where it's said to hold and keep a dimensionality comparable to a multiverse's.
Ryan jokingly calls her "Ms. Worldwide" since she's a brazilian girl that looks like an anime character, yet have american cartoon-related powers. The reason of why she decided to have this appearance, it's because she's ashamed of her former one and likes being cute.
She only directly kills someone if they are really annoying to her (which is a notable thing since she's pretty annoying by herself).
Her twin-tails can change shape based on her mood.
She's so stereotypically a genki girl that annoys even those that are willing to be her allies.
Maria is a veterinarian in spare time.
