Difficulty	★★★☆☆ Moderately Difficult

Profession	Student, Brazillian

Pupa is an average girl from Brazil that likes to eat, dance, practice capoeira, assemble and disassemble machinery, party, and cause problems! She's the youngest child of the family and is the one always getting into trouble compared to her brother. Pupa lived in Brazil with her oldest brother and father, who is an engineer, that would raise them after their mother passed when pupa was only five years old. For her fifth birthday, she received an orange handmade hat from her mother before her passing. Shortly after, her father decided to send his three kids to America to attend a proper school. Her brother was shocked by the big city and soon started to get mixed into the wrong crowd. One night, her brother didn't come home and it worried her to the point of looking for him. She was confident in herself but knew the city was a dangerous place so she asked Pupa to help look for her brother since he was famous for being tough. Pepe noticed how worried Pupa was getting over her lost brother, so he decided to go with her to look for her brother.

Pupa is an average neutral character with good defensive and average offensive capabilities. She's easy to pick up but has a slight skill curve to her combos since she has to micro walk to link her BnB's.
Pros	Cons
Great Normals: Pupa's normals are great for neutral control. Having a two-hit safe sweep, fast B buttons, and a good 2C anti-air. Small Hurtboxes: Pupa is small, especially when she crouches. This also reflects her hurt boxes and she can low-profile a lot of mid-hitting moves.+	Combos Require Microwalks: Most of Pupa's combos require micro walks to link her 3B properly. There's plenty of time to get the walk, but it's still a big learning curve that's specific to her. Below Average Special Moves: All of Pupa's special moves are very average. Most of her specials are for gimmicks or deal less damage than the optimal routes.

-=Movelist=
-==Command Moves==
-A - Pupa bonks you with a wrench. Slow overhead, confirms into 236A.<br>
-B - Low hitting 3 hit move. The last hit knocks the opponent down but can. This move can be used as a combo extension if you cancel on the 2nd hit into a special or super. Spacing is very important to linking this command normal.<br>
-j.6C - Air throw. Great air to air option.<br>
-==Special Moves==
-'''Parafuso'''<br>
-:63214B/D - 3 hitting areial kick move. Pushes the opponent back a lot on hit. Button strength determines the range, D goes further than B.<br>
-'''Flying Dance'''<br>
-:623A/C >> 2A/C - Solid DP that has a follow-up move that knocks the opponent down back into the ground. This move has very poor wall carry potential but has great damage.<br>
-'''Bencao'''<br>
-:236A/C - Pupa throws a wrench into your plans. A goes forward, C goes up to the corner of the screen.<br>
-'''Queixada'''<br>
-:[D] (hold for 2 seconds) ]D[ - This move looks like an overhead but isn't. This is a very sub-par move since it keeps them standing on hit. <br>
-'''Fast Kicks'''<br>
-:Press B/D Rapidly >> 236B/D - Mash move that isn't too great even with the follow-up. You can get away without using this move. However, the follow-up does have good wall carry.<br>
-==Super Moves==
-'''Au'''<br>
-:236236B/D - Pupa cartwheels you to death. ALL HITS ARE OVERHEAD!! D version gives Pupa an additional 2 cartwheels for more hits.
-'''Queixada'''<br>
-:[D] (10 sec) ]D[ - If you have one bar available, Pupa will do a super version of Queixada. The properties of this move change, making it an overhead instead of a mid. You can combo the 10 second version like the 2 second version.<br>
-:[D] (20 sec) ]D[ - This version costs 2 bar and is unblockable. It is virtually impossible to combo into without a wall since it takes forever to come out.<br>

-BC >> 236BC - Your partner must be alive or must be able to be tagged in. Follow-up again with another 236BC for an extra meter for more damage.<br>

-Small note on these combos. To actually link Pupa's 3B you must microwalk forward between your 9D jump in and 2C. If you don't, the 1st hit of 3B will whiff.<br>
