"Bi-bi-bo-bo-la. Plappy, give me a hand!"
"Dance in the pixel world!"

Desert Flannel, one of the four new additions in the awesome 1.5 update alongside Spathodea, Ezra and Ulu! I remember trying to get Ezra on the banner with Ezra and Desert Flannel, only to fail getting Ezra, but not before barely getting Desert Flannel in the process, making it not a complete loss! While I did build her up a bit since then, partly to make it worth it, this isn't my most used character to say the least, but still, it's been awesome getting to know this character regardless, and she is still a fun character overall, even though she is still just trying to get by, but hopefully she can get her big break one day!

Desert Flannel has of course come to face hardships and obstacles along the way, from losing loved ones, to making ends meet, but one thing that has consistently accompanied her through thick and thin is her loyal and trusty virtual companion, Plappy the Emu who was named after her grandmother! Side note, it was thanks to this pet that allowed Desert Flannel to be able to babysit as well!

One thing I loved about 1.5 in general was the Australian accents! They are so fun to listen to, and they really brought the life into the story as well, and in Desert Flannel's case, her Voice Actress, Jorja Cadence really did well with this character in general, but also with the lines that bring the excitement out in Desert Flannel's character, like when she is saying "Plappy, run, run!", and that's only scratching the surface. All in all, a fun character with a fun voice!

And then we have her garments! There are similar themes with both normal garments (standard and Insight II) with what is being worn, you could say just different colour palettes, but there are some differences too, like the megahorn in the Insight II look, and one I actually didn't notice until recently was that in the Insight II look, she is on roller skates??? That really surprised me, but it's a fun intricate detail! Of course, for animation, I like how in the Greetings Voice Line, Insight II has both an animation and a sound effect for Plappy greeting you!

That said, Desert Flannel was also one of the lucky few from the 1.9 update to receive a new Garment, riding a hot air balloon and donning a hat of her own as she tours around the Australian wildlife! Since I don't have that garment myself, there are videos that showcase this too, like this one for example:    • [Reverse: 1999 CN 1.9] Desert Flannel...  


But yes, a very awesome character, and I'm glad to have at least gotten her back when I was desperately trying to get Ezra, as it felt at least worth it somewhat. I don't know if or when I will use her in the future, but we'll see how things go. As for future videos of these kinds, I think Druvis III is going to be next, and after that, once I get some of my newer characters' bonds maxed out, Kakania and Semmelweis should be soon too!
