Basic Info
Alias: Fies
Real Name: Annika Schnabel ("Schnabel" means "beak" in German, but
is also an actual family name.)
Nicknames: Fizz/y
Age: 31 (or thereabouts)
Birthday: Feb 13th (Scorpio Sun {with Aquarius Moon and Ascending
Capricorn})
Species: Mutant Plant-Duck (water lily)
Occupation: Villain
Relationships:
- Darkwing Duck and co. are, of course, her enemies, per default.
- Dr. Reggie Bushroot is responsible for her mutation and ended up in the
role of Plant-Duck Mentor (she's currently a live-in student) - she's also
harboring a secret crush on him, but has no intentions of ever telling
him.
- The Liquidator is the only other member of the F5 she actually likes.
- QuackerJack is the source of much aggravation... they tend to squabble
like siblings (because he gets a huge kick out of picking on her). Fies
absolutely loathes him.
- Megavolt is... well, they don't interact much (neither really bothers
much with the other, except that Megsy was the only one to question her
presence during Fearsome Plots - and is the first to call her 'Fizz' and
it kinda stuck - I think QJ was the first to specifically call her
Fizzy). Other than that, she finds him, and his light bulb-obsession,
rather confusing/disturbing.
- Negaduck is, to her, merely the tyrannical leader of the Fearsome Five
(she only respects that his plans, if successful, do have very nice
pay-offs). He, himself, doesn't really give a crap about her.
Super powers: Plant-Duck abilities (gets nourishment through
sunlight and water; telepathic link to plants; excellent swimmer; can do
the same stuff with her mutated body that Bushroot can with his).
Weaknesses: Plants don't really listen to her; not a genius like
Bushroot; needs more water than Bushroot (being based off a water-plant).
Personality: Unstable (bi-polar tendencies); emotional; unhinged;
irritable.
Quirks: Hates being hugged; she's also a grouchy zombie in the
morning. As she is bilingual, she occasionally uses German exclamations.

Biography
She was born in Germany (German father, St. Canardian mother - both
mallards), but made regular visits to the States and her mother's
birth-city; studied music in Germany, though didn't graduate, and tried to
make her career anyway. However, not really having healthy moral
standards to begin with, she couldn't quite pull that off (mostly due to
antisocial attitudes towards her managers and the few fans she'd
accumulated).
She produced one mostly-unsuccessful studio album in Germany, then moved
to the States and was working on her second album when a trip with her
family resulted in a terrible accident with a semi transporting dangerous
chemicals. The wreck itself didn't hurt her family, but the chemicals from
the truck did, for as they were walking to see if the driver needed help,
a bolt on the tank burst under pressure hitting her mother in the head and
instantly killing her, whilst her father was drenched with the acid-like
chemical as it spurted out, dying painfully. Miss Schnabel, being a little
farther behind, only got splashed on the side of the head, resulting in
the permanent disfiguration of the right side of her face (she dawned the
mask after that).
She dropped her singing career altogether and, eventually, moved to a city
near St. Canard, where she took up odd jobs (like working in a
gas-station) to pay for her crummy apartment before she fell fully into
her antisocial tendencies and found she could no longer handle working or
even shopping. She started racking up a police record of small-time theft,
which lead to her losing her job and apartment. She fled to the mountains
and took up residence in a cabin and, later, a cave. She continued her
criminal activities to survive.
(It needs to be noted that she has dual-citizenship, due to her
dual-parentage, so was not deported as one would probably have expected -
instead, she did jail-time as any resident small-time criminal.)
Ironically, before her mutation, she hated sunlight and mostly came out at
night, particularly after her accident.
Eventually (and, of course!), she learned about St. Canard's resident
mad-scientist-turned-mutant (along with many of the other criminals) and
became fascinated, actually obsessed, with him and his work.
She decided she wanted super-powers too (as that would make her life a
little more manageable, or so she thought), and began studying up on him,
reading everything she could find (his written articles, his criminal
activities, etc..), particularly relating to the experiment which resulted
in his own mutation.
Originally, she had thought she might just ASK him to help her out (it was
obvious she could not recreate his machine without him), but quickly
discarded that stupid thought and plotted to capture him and then hope she
could somehow convince him.
(And the rest of this story can be found in a series of fanfics I'm
writing called 'The Grass is Greener'.)
Last note: In regards to her relationship to the Fearsome group as
a whole, she is not a member. She is considered by the others to pretty
much be on the same level as any of Bushroot's plant minions, but with the
benefit of being another mutant plant-duck instead of 'just a plant'.
