Scout

"'Test my reflexes when I kick your ass, Riley!'" "- Scout."

Bio
Scout is the only puppet of Mortimer's Handeemen who appears to have any actual empathy toward humanity. At the beginning of the game, the player is given the choice of one of five different versions of Scout. This occurs shortly after you are met with Mortimer Handee. Between him and you, there are five puppets lined up. He proceeds to tell you you can choose any of them as a gift.

Upon choosing your puppet, Mortimer tells you to place it on your hand. Once you do, he begins to recite a voodoo spell, knocking you unconscious and sewing Scout onto your hand.

Appearance
"Pick whichever you like, they're all the same," -Mortimer Handee

Scout has five distinct appearances the player can choose at the beginning of the game, and though each looks different, none of them have any real impact on the story, apart from a different line from Mortimer.

Scout Prime


"“Ah, the classic blue hair!” - Mortimer Handee"The Scout Prime (the one used in most promotional content) is the most human-looking of the possible options. She has a pinkish skin tone, dark ocean blue hair, a long, sausage-shaped nose that is outstretched, purple eyes with longer eye-lashes than her counterparts, and wears a white T-shirt with blue sleeves, on which is a printed picture of Mortimer Handee. she also controls the host

Space Buns Scout
"“Pigtails! What fun!” - Mortimer Handee"To the right of her is Space Buns Scout. This version has orange hair in two bun-like pigtails at the top of her head. She has a much more inhuman skin tone of bright yellow with a plump nose, contrasted by her green eyes. She wears a similar tee to her counterpart, except with the same shade orange as her hair in place of blue, a recurring theme among the different Scout looks.

British Invasion Scout
"“Classic bowl cut - British Invasion.” - Mortimer Handee"On the far right is the British Invasion Scout with a green Mushroom-Cap hairstyle and cyan eyes. Continuing the theme, this Scout's shirt has green sleeves.

Red Hair Scout
"“Hmm…that’s a strange one, if you ask me. But whatever snaps your suspenders.” - Mortimer Handee"To the left of Scout Prime, there's Red Hair Scout. This version of Scout has aquamarine skin with a round, button nose, as well as red-orange, pixie cut hair. This Scout has orange eyes and wears a red-sleeved tee.

Royal Purple Scout
"“Purple is the royal color, you know.” - Mortimer Handee"Finally, to the far left, is the Royal Purple Scout, who is cyan in skin tone, contrasted by her royal purple hair in a bob-cut, framing her face perfectly. This Scout has golden eyes, a direct opposite to the color of her shirt, which is the same shade as her hair. She is similar in color and shape to the Pixie Scout; however, the Pixie's theme is blue and marigold, while the Bob-Cut's theme is blue and purple.

Upon completing the game, whichever Scout you chose will appear in the beginning room and will no longer be an option in the Mortimer cutscene. (As of the time this was written, this caps you at a five-time playthrough.)

Personality
Scout is a very short-tempered puppet, quick to both frustration and profanity, though once calmed, she reveals much more of her personality.

She frequently makes references to television shows, commercials, and movies, calling the player various names of iconic characters in media, such as the Stay-Puffed Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters, Ginormica from Monsters vs. Aliens, and the Green Giant. The reasoning behind this is she once discovered a television set with working cable, she recalls being so intrigued by what she saw that she spent hours channel surfing until being caught by Riley Ruckus. Since this incident, she has been the only puppet in the studio to speak without rhyming. This has made her an outcast among the other puppets, which is where she developed her defensive exterior.

Scout is a very pessimistic puppet, often focusing on the bad parts of a scenario. A possible explanation for this is her cowardice. Despite making threats and acting tough, Scout has quite a few fears. She has haemophobia, and is terrified of some of the other puppets, though not without reason. Most of her actions are motivated out of fear, and it's only through the player, who she refers to as "Host", that she can actually overcome those fears.

Relationships
"'See you around... Friend.'" "- Scout."

Host
The host appears to be his/her only true friend. Scout frequently vents to the host over how doomed or pointless their plans to escape are. The two are a surprisingly competent team when on good terms, and Scout has told the host many of her insightful moments, such as her time seeing the "host world" via television. During her final moments, Scout laments how she hoped she would have seen the host world in person, but her friendship with the Host was better than anything she may have found there. She died happily in the host's hand after calling them her "friend". Other theories suggest that Scout does a final brain swap, making the host die in Scout's body, as Scout's consciousness lives on in the host's body, but a secret ending shown that this theory is not true, in a secret ending, instead of calling you friend, scout start coughing uncontrollably before crying out " I don't wanna go, host " conforming that ,unfortunately, she indeed died, that sad ending can be active if the host only answer in head shake or most of his answer in the game ware head shake.

Riley Ruckus
The relationship of Scout and Riley is one of mutual disdain. Scout will take any opportunity to take a jab at Riley, enjoying the latter's frustration. On the other end, Riley enjoys Scout's pain and will take any chance to harm or even kill her in the grimmest way possible. How else?
