Quixotic is a Smurf character, and part of the next generation cast of Smurfs in the Butterverse.
History[]
Quixotic was born the daughter of SmurfTiger and SmurfPoppy. Unfortunately, during one of SmurfStorm’s scouting missions her team of 7 was ambushed by a wealthy yet unknown wizard seeking them for gold formula. Stormy was the only survivor.
Whilst both villages mourned the loss of their friends, Willow set about making preparations for the orphaned Smurfling, saying she would start to look for foster parents in the Grove. Somebody Smurf caught news of this and knew he and Don would be more than happy to take care of her, as the two had wanted to be parents but could not due to the nature of Don's being (storybook). Willow agreed, sympathetic for both the orphan and Somebody's issues and knowing they'd be a good match for each other.
Quixotic Smurfette was named under the village's guide rather than the Grove's, but it's a fitting name.
Personality[]
Quixotic is a vibrant and optimistic character who craves adventure and romantic chivalrous deeds, something she shared with her step dad Don Smurfo, whom she idolises. She tends to charge ahead at the slightest prospect of a quest, usually with no thoughts (or cares) about her safety. Her rebellious streak often puts her in precarious situations, but she’s never yet not been able to escape.
When she’s not questing, Quixotic loves learning languages, or helping to cook pasta at home.
Appearance[]
Quixotic is slightly shorter than average for a female Smurf, and in good physical condition. She dyes her hair black, although the original colour is dark blue, and she wears this tied back in a short ponytail with a long fringe. Quixotic wears a black off shoulder top with a deep magenta waistband and a similarly coloured hat with a black band and two feathers; one brown, one dark blue. She also has a dark blue mask and scrunchie, and wears a white scarf. She is often seen carrying a rapier sword. She speaks in an RP English accent, unless talking about food, where she tends to revert to Italian-esque.
Role In The Village[]
Quixotic doesn’t have a designated role, but most often helps out others or her father. She, along with his student Elusory, are often taken on Somebody's missions together.
Relationships[]
Don Smurfo & Somebody Smurf[]
Quixotic loves and looks up to her adoptive parents. She’s been aware of the adoption since she was little, and although she has asked SmurfStorm about her parents once or twice, the Smurf is loathe to talk about it and Quixotic doesn’t like to push her boundaries. She feels she has the best parents she can regardless.
As a child, Quixotic is especially close to Don, always proudly proclaiming how her father was THE hero of the story books, and loved to act out scenes from the books with her peers. As an adult, this translated into her dyeing her hair black to match his own. The two share a love for Italian food, and Quixotic has become proficient at making these from heart, although her cooking skills may lack in other dishes. She was taught fencing from an early age by Don (with wooden swords to start with) and the two will still occasionally have a friendly sparr to keep each other’s skills sharp.
Quixotic is also very close to Somebody, although sometimes finds his over-protective nature suffocating in comparison to her free spirit. However, she knows that Somebody does it out of love so she's willing to put up with it. Somebody has always had a very strong paternal desire, and would talk to her for hours as a child and was, overall, one of the most attentive parents in the village.
Vanity, Grouchy & Aloof Smurf[]
Quixotic has a decent relationship with her extended family, and will often joke or banter with them. She particularly likes her uncle Vanity’s fashion sense and willingness to talk about styles, and the same goes for Aloof. At times it can seem like Quixotic and her cousin argue a lot, but they very rarely mean anything they say and will always have each other’s back in a real fight.
Will-O-The-Wisps[]
Moira[]
Moira is a Scottish wisp that frequents the village in an attempt to steal Don Smurfo’s golden eagle, and perhaps any other magical creatures that happen to be nearby. Due to her con-artistry and being a general thorn in his side, Somebody is forever attempting to get her into Smurf custody. Quixotic would like to help, but in truth she finds Moira rather exciting, and has become attracted to her over some time, although their relationship-of-sorts tends to be kept secret. At times she’ll often sneak out to help Moira with missions that don’t involve the Smurfs, although states that her father’s missions must always come first.
At the surface it may seem like Moira is simply using Quixotic, but this is not the case. She’s aware of the strained dynamic Quixotic must keep up with, and although her goals are entirely for her own benefit, Moira does care deeply for her, which Quixotic can sense and is the reason she keeps up the façade to the village in order to ensure the wisp’s safety.
Kheprii[]
Kheprii is an Egyptian wisp Quixotic meets whilst travelling with Moira one time. Kheprii is quite fascinated, and a little flirtatious with the Smurf, having never met one before. In general, Quixotic gets along with Kheprii much better than the two wisps do with each other due to their history. Although she probably admits she finds Kheprii attractive, Quixotic is much closer to Moira.
Other[]
Elusory Smurf[]
Elusory is one of Quixotic’s closest friends and also a co-worker, working with Somebody on his missions. The two did date for a while, but found the proximity to their work-life balance slightly awkward. The two remain good friends, if not best friends, as Quixotic is possibly the only other next-gen that truly knows of Elusory’s job.
Visionary Smurf[]
Quixotic is one of Visionary’s closest friends, due to Don and Painter’s close relationship, and also Somebody and Poet being good friends. The two can often be seen together working on some project or other, or just for the company.
SmurfFuchsia[]
Quixotic and Fuchsia both lost mother's in the same incident, however aren't necessarily close. They understand each other's pain to some degree, but Quixotic finds Fuchsia rude and dislikes her attitude.
Elena[]
As one of her parent’s friends and a character in the Don Smurfo series, Quixotic looks up to Elena and enjoys spending time with her. She’s been taught a little of the European Spanish language and some of the flamenco dance by her.
