- she loves to be touched!
Additionally, Copper's personality has two forms, depending on the situation:
- sweet, supportive and loving;

Common lore
Origins / backstory
Past life
Copper has a birth date of November 25, 2003.
At a very young age, the little Copper ran away from home. She is not willing to talk about her life before this. She successfully crossed the river Danube and ended up on an island with an abandoned wooden house, filled to the brim with stuff. Slowly and surely sorting through the junk, which included a lot of electronics, Copper made this house her own and built her new life from there. She ate by foraging, which she turned into her hobby as exploration.
Copper's friends, and later, the internet substituted her missing regular education pretty well.
The Benedani sighting
One of the common things about the dream world are sightings of Benedani, which the people regularly keep track of - the time, location and what happened.
Some time in 2022, Copper ran into such a situation in person. The bus she was on suddenly started shaking uncontrollably, then returned to normal. Then, the textures of the bus changed around her.
She immediately knew what was going on, and looked around to find the one person who was not freaking out. Seemingly a regular dude. However, before she could say anything, he was gone.
Alongside Benedani's attempts to find Copper again, she also got an interest in finding him. They managed to successfully avoid each other, until eventually, Larp found her, and decided that they would surprise the dreamer.
That did not go so well - the dream was highly unstable and he woke up. Plan B, to somehow mentally link the two together, somehow did, and so Copper would proceed to get to know their god... a regular person in another world.
Experiencing the outside world
A possibility Benedani brought up is that he would invite Copper to see the outside world for herself, through his body.
The first experiences were pretty fun overall. She flexed her skills in a Terraria Master Mode For The Worthy run and Rocket League, and participated in a social game within Discord hosted by Yoshi Element.
Things took a significant turn for the worse when Copper looked outside the online space. The term 'trash' accurately describes what the real world felt like. There was not a single friend to make, not a single thing to do. Copper is a pretty outgoing person used to in-person experiences, and the world where everybody communicated through text on a screen and even dated and formed relationships was just... bizarre to her.
Additionally, Benedani at the time was forced to suffer from the school experiences that Copper could simply just skip. In an experiment where the girl was locked into his body and the host would simply observe, she went completely insane and desperate on day 2! Those experiences were giving him real trouble, even with the bit of peace of mind that the experiment had revealed that the problem wasn't with him.
Somehow, though, they made it. With Copper's mental support, Benedani preservered and eventually passed school, and was now free in life to find a job. And... he found one from the source where he did not even mention the education.
Anomalies
Despite technically being a part of Benedani, Copper has demonstrated skills and knowledge outside of the host's reach, such as Rocket League skill and knowledge of the evolution of mobile data networks and Terraria. Is there some sort of subconscious trolling going on?
Trivia
