Fan Character Rundown - Boomstick's Daughter Dynamite

I've decided to start on an ongoing Death Battle fanfic focusing on the escapades of Boomstick's teenage daughter. I always imagined what it would be like if such a character existed in the Death Battle universe, though it was only first confirmed back in 2019. Given the fact that I've thought up ideas for other potential characters as well, I thought it would be best to do a character rundown on my interpretation for her.

Please keep in mind that this is only my head-canon for the character. I cannot control what the actual canon surrounding her is, though I will incorporate it into the fanfic if necessary. Plus, other people will obviously have their own ideas on her. For now though, here's everything I had planned about the character so far and how I see her.

Dynamite (also known as "Dynah" for short or "Lil' Boomstick") is Boomstick's daughter who he had with his most prominent ex-wife, the one who apparently likes eating too many tacos. She switches between them during different weeks, though prefers to stay with her father due to sharing more personality quirks with him and having a less strained relationship with him than with her mother.

Her appearance consists of two short bunches (a.k.a. pigtails) tied up with black ribbons. She has inherited her father's brown hair and blue eyes though ultimately has a slimmer build than him. She likes to wear a red sleeveless button-up shirt that shows off her midriff along with blue ripped denim shorts and brown sandals. Sometimes she even wears a cap with her outfit, depending on her mood. On her left arm is a Devil Dog tattoo (as she calls it) and she has a Devil Cat tattoo on the right side of her waist in order to cover up scars from a bullet wound (kind of like how Nami from One Piece got her new tattoo to cover up stab wounds as well as the old tattoo). Due to some of the scrapes she gets into, she has a plaster on her left knee and a small scar near her right eye.

Dynamite looks up to Boomstick - he's trained her in the same martial arts and gun skills that his mother taught him when he was little and she wants to be just like him when she grows up. However, sometimes she feels that he can be a little too overbearing. For instance, he gets way too overprotective of her when it comes to her dates and she would prefer it if he understand that she can stick up for herself if anything goes wrong. Besides, she gets the impression that she has to babysit him more often than he has to babysit her. And even if she does want to follow in his footsteps, she also feels that she has to have her own identity and not just be associated with him.

Plus, there have been occasions in which they've clashed over differing opinions. For instance, Dynamite is a major pegasister and cannot get enough of My Little Pony - Pinkie Pie is her favourite character by far, though Discord is another one. Boomstick on the other hand cannot get into it at all. Inversely, Dynamite cannot stand RWBY and finds it to be overrated, especially with regard to Yang Xiao Long. Boomstick however adores it and gets very annoyed when Dynamite makes perverted jokes about Yang and her breasts.

Despite the times in which they've clashed and had several heated arguments (mainly to do with his overprotectiveness and their contrasting interests), Dynamite is pretty protective of her father herself. If anybody wrongs him or makes him cry in any way, she'll track them down and make them pay. There are only a few people that can escape her wrath, but even then she keeps a vigilante eye on them.

She's mostly what people would call a tomboy, being obsessed with first-person shooters and getting dirty outside. As a little kid, she'd even get mistaken for a boy by her peers. However, ever since entering her teens, she's gained a girlier side to herself and wants to be a bit trendier. She's obsessed with cute boys and celebrities and has started to wear skimpier clothes in order to show off her figure. She's even gotten into pop music and reality shows - something that Boomstick is pretty iffy about.

Dynamite has two good friends she's been with since childhood - Lottie and Gemma. Lottie is a spoilt girly girl who loved playing with Barbies as a kid and wanted to be a princess when she grew up. Now she's obsessed with makeup and the latest fashions. Despite being horrified by the crazy antics that Dynamite gets herself into, she still sticks around for some odd reason. Gemma is a lot more easygoing and the most optimistic of the three, despite being born with EB (Epidermolysis Bullosa) and therefore not being able to do some of the things that others may take for granted. I'll go into more detail about them in some later posts, especially with regard to Gemma.

Dynamite uses shotguns and martial arts in combat like her father does, but she also likes to carry around explosives, as befitting her name. She has grenades, bombs and sticks of dynamite for that extra kaboom factor and will use them if any problem arises, even if others think that it's a bad idea to do so. And if that problem involves her father in any way, the results can be even more explosive.

She tends to flunk at school unless it has anything to do with Science, Maths or P.E. Furthermore, despite showing the same interests as other kids at her school, she would rather stay away from the popular crowd and not bring their attention to her - they can be pretty obnoxious after all. That said, she will fight back against them if they wrong her loved ones in any way. Just make sure that she doesn't have that stick of dynamite on her if you're one of their popular kids.

When it comes to meeting new people, Dynamite is very confident. She wants to establish instant friendships rather than take a slow approach, befitting of her extroverted nature. She doesn't mind too much about the types of friends she makes, though she would prefer to bring the timid ones out of their shells and teach them how to be more assertive. She also likes to give some of them nicknames.

In general, Dynamite has inherited the same crazy and fight-happy personality traits that her father has, though is more emotionally stable than him in comparison and willing to play the sane one in certain situations. She's someone who wants to be a fighter, but at the same time wants to be like the other teenagers that she knows of. For her, it's just getting that balance right.
