Flute Dog (Bio)

---

Name: Flute Dog
Species: Cocakpoo (a cross between a cocker spaniel and a poodle); formerly human (more on that below)
Alternate Name: Stacy Blutberg (pronounced "bloot berg")
Gender: Female
Nationality: American
Hometown: Jackson, Tennessee, USA
Current Residence: Knoxville, Tennessee, USA (the same as Illusion Lion)
Current Age: 20
Predicted Freeze Age: 32 (NOTE: "Predicted Freeze Age" means the age the C.I.D.F. estimates she will reach before it stops counting.  In the same way, Cripto froze at age 22, while Leo the Patriotic Lion and all his parallels froze at 30.  By reaching 32, Stacy will be a rare case of somebody freezing at an age older than Leo and his parallels, and she will be the first female to do so.)
Occupation: Currently a student at the University of Tennessee studying nursing; her ultimate goal is to become a certified nurse.  She plays the flute in the marching band, and in other performing ensembles.  She also practices karate.
Appearance: Slim but athletically built white cockapoo with brown eyes.
Battle Uniform: Adding to the large number of G-52s in drum major uniforms, hers is a pink uniform with silver stripes going across the chest, and down the pant legs.  She wears black marching shoes.  The jacket sleeves have a black section at the end, which go around the wrists, with silver stripes in the middle of those sections.  The shako has a silver bald eagle on it, representing the national animal of the United States, but does not have a plume.

Due to being a karate student and athlete, she might also use the karate gi as a battle uniform.

Alternate Clothing: It varies depending on the occasion.  She does not pad (go barefoot), unlike many of the males, unless it is because she has her white karate gi on.
Superpowers: Reality warping (similar to Cripto), advanced martial arts, and sound manipulation.  Like all other G-52s and/or allies who play a musical instrument and/or sing, she can also swap out wardrobes just by waving her hands in front of herself, summon portals that allow her to get from place to place in a hurry, and summon any instrument and play it at the level of the Forsythians, who are said to be "beyond professional."  However, she usually just plays the flute (and sometimes piccolo).

When she plays her flute, it either causes the forces of evil to hear ear-piercing screeching noises (such as an eagle screech), forces them to follow her by hypnotizing them (although she is aware that some villains don't fall for the trick), or causes them to instantly fall asleep.  (It chooses at random.)

Bio: Stacy is on the huge list of humans whom CNG had turned into animals instead of killing them off.  She had a typical childhood, enjoying some of the things little girls typically like, evident by her choice of a Halloween costume (princess, unicorn, etc.).  She also had a special admiration for pets, particularly lost or abused pets that needed rescued.  Both her parents, however, were allergic to dogs and cats, and thus, weren't willing to get one, but they did tell her that she had a good heart, because she had showed that she cared for the people of this world as well as animals.

Over time, as she gradually became more tomboyish (for whatever reason that might be), Stacy began attracting attention for her exceptional progress in karate, which she used to defend her dad from a group of CNG smugglers who were attempting to rob a bank with it.  Later that same year, she and her family came across the smugglers again at the mall when they were just trying to do their Christmas shopping, and she used her karate skills on them again.  It was at this time that the pink and purple CNG, which the smugglers admitted was intended to cause her parents to see hallunications (just as one would when using marijuana) to the point they couldn't function anymore, spilled out of the pockets of the smugglers.  The resulting effect turned Stacy into a white cockapoo, and helped the police make the arrest much faster.

The smugglers died of a brain aneurysm before the family could testify against them in court (and they did get a subpoena), but it was determined that they assumed Stacy's dad was somebody else whom they held a grudge against; the smugglers were wanting to buy a bowling alley out and convert it to a large office building, which would have been a cover-up for their smuggling operations and other crimes.  (This is why they were attempting to rob the bank.)  The owner, who (strictly coincidentally) bore a resemblance to her father, instead kept the building going as a bowling center, but made some changes to make it more family-oriented, such as adding more arcade games and pinball machines, eliminating alcohol, and making it a non-smoking facility.  (Her dad did volunteer to help have the whole place de-smoked.)

Stacy was among the huge numbers of participants in the big parade and multi-day C.I.D.F. documentation ceremony in Washington, D.C., in which the C.I.D.F. announced their intentions to identify and protect every living individual that was once a human being, but lost their humanity to CNG.  Her efforts to defend her family from the smugglers, combined with other accomplishments, won her the Presidential Medal of Freedom (awarded by Leo the Patriotic Lion) and the SSSMSB (awarded by King Leo V).

After undergoing tests and training to better control her superpowers, Stacy (after checking to see if it was available) chose the name "Flute Dog" as her codename.  While her primary focus is helping others as a nurse, she plans to continue to play the flute.  Her signature solo when performing as a soloist is an arrangement of the John Denver classic "Annie's Song," based on a version by the world-renowned flutist Sir James Galway, a performer that she listened to quite a bit as a child.  (His music ultimately inspired her to play the flute.)

NOTE: Stacy's best friend, Stephanie (another white cockapoo), also got superpowers, and underwent the same type of training on that same day.

Quotes: "I would have preferred they [the smugglers] live to see the consequences of their actions.  I am with you; it's so sad.  Why did they have to die?"
"Why did CNG have to kill everybody off?  We shouldn't have to live in a world that preaches, 'One strike and you're out!'"
"I don't plan to give up the flute, but it's just a side job that helps keep my brain exercised.  My primary focus in nursing."
"I may be a dog now, but don't treat me like one!"
"I don't play to go into the service.  I plan to go into nursing.  I'll still play the flute, of course."
"CNG wouldn't learn its lesson that not all humans are bad.  I have one specific person from the human race to thank for inspiring me to play the flute: Sir James Galway."
"Illusion Lion and I live in the same town; what are the odds?"
