Characters / Stretch Panic

Our Heroine

Linda

• Broken Bird: Her mother is missing, her father died, all her sisters basically treat her as a slave and the only things she truly treasures are the items her father gave her. The Vanity Demon that possesses her scarf is the only thing in the game that is somewhat nice (or at least is affable) towards her. (It's because she allows it to stretch things, which is all it really wanted.)
• Daddy's Girl: Her profile in the manual states that she takes after her father in terms of being a mature, hard worker.
• The Dutiful Son: She's practically a pack mule to her sisters, but she still risks her life to save them because she loves them that much.
• Limit Break: She must expend five "points" to use her Scarf Bomb, a powerful attack that makes her scarf grow extra arms. Using this attack on her possessed sisters is required to reach the ending of the game, as it exorcises the Vanity Demons out of them.
• Mature Younger Sibling: The manual describes her as being the most mature of her siblings.
• Morph Weapon The Scarf itself is an interesting variant: anything it touches becomes elastic and stretchy, so it can pinch solid objects and lug them around. It does have a weight limit, and sometimes there's too much tension in the elasticity, and it has to let go. Which either sends Linda flying or is used to hurt an opponent with the force of whatever it was being stretched snapping back in place instantly.
• Our Demons Are Different: the Vanity Demons themselves are rather odd, but the one possessing Linda's scarf is interesting, in that it lets her purify her sisters by using its own demonic power if Linda gets enough "points" for the technique (the technique itself is apparently its true power - having multiple arms to stretch with - which is used in order to exorcise them).
• Scarf of Asskicking: It's possessed by a Demon of Vanity, so now it's a demonic looking hand that can stretch things. Really, really stretch things. It also has a mind of its own and doesn't really mind being Linda's scarf that much.
• White Sheep: The only one of thirteen sisters who didn't narcissistically obsess over her looks, and she refused the Deal with the Devil that her sisters took.

Linda's sisters

In General

• Beat the Curse Out of Him: The goal of the game is to free them from the possession of the Vanity Demons. However, this does not happen automatically upon defeating the boss; Linda must use her Scarf Bomb on them for five seconds to pull the Vanity Demon out of them, then defeat her sister afterwards.
• Big Sister Bully: They would constantly boss Linda around and pick on her for not sharing their devotion to their appearances.
• Deal with the Devil: A mysterious truck delivered a box filled with Vanity Demons, who offered to take their beauty to a new level. They accepted by walking into a door they presented.
• Massive Numbered Siblings: Thirteen of them, including Linda.
• Meaningful Name: Most of them have names reflecting their primary interests that would become the basis of their transformed state.
• Proud Beauty: They were obsessed with their looks to the point that they would rarely talk amongst themselves other than to compliment each other's appearances. They inherited this from their mother according to the manual.
• Transformation of the Possessed: They were transformed by the Vanity Demons as part of the Deal with the Devil they took.

First Tier

Cinder

A pyromaniac who was transformed into a big-headed demon who breathes fire and shoots bombs out of her nose, and has a maw like a bear trap.

• Breath Weapon: Breathes fire like the pyromaniac she is.
• More Teeth than the Osmond Family: Has two long rows of pointed, sharp teeth when she opens her mouth.
• Pyromaniac: Cinder was this before she was transformed into a giant firebreathing headmonster.
• Tongue Trauma: Her weakness is her tongue. It's probably the easiest to access, as she reveals it every time she opens her mouth to breathe fire.
• Vacuum Mouth: One of her attacks is to inhale Linda into her mouth. If Linda gets sucked in, Cinder chews on her and spits her out, dealing heavy damage.

Spinner

Hyperactive Spinner was made into some kind of demonic pendulum of sorts, who attacks by spinning around the room and trying to pick-ax you with her pointy head.

• Feathered Fiend: Is some sort of freakish cross between a bird and a pendulum.
• Genki Girl: Her favorite pasttime before the transformation was spinning around outside.
• Left Stuck After Attack: Played with: she is stunned by getting her pointy head stuck in the floor, but Linda has to actively cause this by slingshotting her head into the ground.
• Our Monsters Are Weird: Is the least humanoid of the sisters, and has an appearance that's hard to describe.
• Spin Attack: No surprise that her main attack is to spin around.

Miss Mecca

As well as transforming her, the demons have granted this girl a giant robot for her to plod around in, that shoots rockets at you and generally tries to squash you.

• Humongous Mecha: Her demon form pilots one.
• Mad Scientist: The Vanity Demons perverted her interest of mechanics, making her a full-blown one. Oh, and it also made her some kind of lizard.
• Tennis Boss: You can use your scarf to stretch the missile back at her.
• Wrench Wench: Her main interest (other than her beauty) is in mechanics, reflected by the Vanity Demons giving her a mecha.

Siren

Her desire is to be an opera singer, and in her transformed state, she certainly lives up to her name, calling in her mooks to aid with her transformation. When she does, as said in the manual, all hell breaks loose, as she transforms into a more demonic form. Her weakness involves taking out the mooks before she can transform.

• Cute Monster Girl: Her regular possessed form still looks very human-like albeit a little too bright.
• Magic Music: She sings to summon her minions towards her, and if any are on her dress after a certain period, she begins her proper attack.
• Mook Maker: Kinda. She turns the harmless mooks into little reaper things when she transforms.
• Superpowered Evil Side: Her regular form can't hurt you, but her more demonic form can shoot lightning.
• Transformation Is a Free Action: If she successfully transforms, there's nothing you can do to stop it.

Second Tier

Fay Soff

Obsessed with her facial features, this girl was transformed into what is essentially a demonic Mr. Potato Head. Each of her parts shoot SOMETHING at you.

• Animate Body Parts: The main point of her fight.
• The Blank: Upon knocking her features off.
• Breath Weapon: Fire from her mouth.
• Combination Attack: Leaving her parts on her face results in all parts attacking at once.
• Cosmetic Horror: Seems to be the theme the Vanity Demon went for.
• Eye Beams
• Gonk: She already looks kinda unsightly, but if you pull her features off with the scarf, you can arrange her face to look like a Picasso Cubism portrait. It's how she takes Red damage.
• Karmic Transformation: The sister most concerned with her face and physical appearance has possibly the ugliest demonic form.
• Nose Nuggets: Her nose shoots phlegm at you.
• Vanity Is Feminine: Even before attracting the vanity demon, she was a stereotypically cosmetics-fixated girl.

Anne Droid V2. 1

The astronomy enthusiast of the family, transformed into a orbital satellite that drops down mooks that form an electric grid of sorts.

• "Get Back Here!" Boss: She's constantly moving around, evading Linda's sight and leaving behind drones. This is to compensate for her weakness being attacking Anne directly.
• Mook Maker: The blue and yellow drones that she drops.
• Robot Girl: She was transformed a living artificial satellite orbiting the Baby Planet that forms her arena.

Samantha

The second youngest in the family, and the youngest among the bosses. Transformed into an evil doll with a grappling-hook-like deal made from her favorite fish toy, which is now more like a shark. Similar to Linda in a lot of ways, notably with her decorations having the same 'light and dark' theme and her primary means of attack being a transformed object that she treasured. Her weakness is the chain on her toy when it's stuck to the ground by a large boulder. What happens has to be seen to be believed.

• Creepy Doll: Looks like a doll who flings around her shark toy.
• Cute Monster Girl: Still resembles a little girl with some mild inhuman features.
• Mirror Boss: Her shark toy acts similarly to Linda's scarf, allowing her to grab boulders and fling them around.
• Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Appears to be some sort of doll-clown-fairy-witch-princess-zombie, who's also a demon.
• Sibling Yin-Yang: Considered an 'evil' version of Linda due to their similarities.
• Threatening Shark: That shark toy HURTS.

Jelly-Chan

She loves sweets, so what better form to take than that of a giant blob? Also takes most attacks pretty well and is one of the first bosses to lack an obvious weakness.

• Blob Monster: Got transformed into a big jelly blob to reflect her love of sweets.
• Boss-Arena Idiocy: Stunning her requires luring her to a tree so she can get struck by lightning that periodically strikes them.
• Extreme Omnivore: One way to slow her down is to throw rocks at her, which she'll attempt to eat.
• Eye Spy: Her eyes can detach from her body, which she uses to fire Eye Beams at Linda.
• Fat and Proud: Rather than losing weight, she embraces her fat as part of her beauty.
• Gameplay and Story Segregation: The manual states that she is very fat, but due to the randomized character models of the sisters, it's very likely that she won't get the "fat" model.
• Sweet Tooth: She loves sweets to the point that she doesn't care about it affecting her weight, embracing a "big is beautiful" philosophy instead.

Third Tier

Demonica

Obsessed with horror, she's been transformed into that which must not be seen. She spends the whole fight either trying to break into the room you're in or using mook generators to get in the way of preventing that.

• Brown Note: The manual describes her demonic form as being so horrifying that just looking at it is fatal.
• Eldritch Abomination: You never see what she looks like, except for her outline.
• He Who Must Not Be Seen: Her possessed form is only seen by silhouette.
• Mook Maker: Certain panels on the wall are used by Demonica to produce mooks.
• Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: She got transformed into an unseeable horror movie monster because of her obsession with horror movies.
• Non-Standard Game Over: If you let her break down one of the doors, you are treated to a cut-scene where she enters the room and prepares to kill Linda off-screen.
• Shout-Out: Most horror movies. Notably, the silhouette gives her a Jason-like appearance.
• Unexpected Gameplay Change: She's easily the most difficult boss in the game due to the fact you can't directly touch her, and it's so easy for her to use her instant kill attack on you.

Cyan

The smallest of the sisters, her demonic form is a very, very tall grey alien with four arms who attacks with shockwaves. There's a group of helpful mooks that help you fight her. When all the mooks fire on her, she becomes vulnerable to attack. Otherwise, she's invincible.

• Boss-Arena Idiocy
• Gameplay and Story Segregation: The character models of the sisters prior to being possessed by demons and transformed is chosen at random. Thus despite being said to be the shortest of the sisters, her human form can possibly be tall and lean or big and fat.
• The Greys
• The Napoleon: She's the shortest of the entire family. That includes the protagonist, who is eight. She really, really, really wants to be taller.

Mirage

Loves Egypt so much she was turned into some kind of mummified thing. Uses sandstorms and sand tornados to attack. She'll get stuck in the sand if she gets the tornado she generates near water.

• Ancient Egypt: Guess where the arena for her battle is.
• Boss-Arena Idiocy
• Butterfly of Death and Rebirth: Her form is very butterfly-like, and she is a mummy.
• Deadly Dust Storm: It's her main mode of attack.
• Mummy Wrap: The parts of her body that isn't a golden butterfly thing are wrapped up pretty solidly.

Spirit

The eldest sister, obsessed with continuing the family. Her demonic form is ghostly and is untouchable except for her two large phantom gloves. Is the de-facto final boss, though you could realistically take her on first once you unlock the final tier. Her fight does seem like a final boss, though, considering how much goes on. She can summon demonic turrets that fire practically every standard bit of ammo in the game. Sticking her hands in the fires around the arena causes damage, though the floor is always moving so you still have to get them there.

• Boss-Arena Idiocy
• Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: She's the eldest sister, and she really wanted to be a ghost. So the Vanity Demons complied.
• Our Ghosts Are Different
• Rubber-Hose Limbs: Her arms can literally contort into circles, which allows her hands to constantly come at you from any and every angle.
