First Appearance: Introduction of Trudy (December 29, 1998)

CURRENT STATUS: On the run from the UGA

Trudy was the last of the original main cast to evolve, and is certainly the hardest to define. The problem is, I'm not exactly sure how to define her. Despite what may seem straight forward on the surface, she is a highly complex character with many confusing and conflicting layers. It's best to follow her introduction to get some clues about how she ticks.

When Trudy first appears, she seems to be nothing but a gorgeous, innocent, perpetually smiling and happy young woman who is nothing short of a marketing guru. She is hired to be GPF's marketing director, and attacks this task with a passion. She is a stunning woman, as Fooker notices, and loves to flaunt it.

Then strange things start to happen....

Trudy begins to metamorphose. A darker, more sinister side of Trudy begins to surface, and we start to see her true colors. At first, the signs are subtle: graphically violent metaphors to "slaying" the competition, kicking puppies, that sort of thing. But her malicious, sadistic actions begin to freak out everyone, especially those aimed at Fooker and Ki.

Since then, we have discovered Trudy is a truly diabolical mastermind, with wholly sinister designs for each member of the GPF crew. Some seemed to be mere tauntings and tormentings, like her repeated jabs at Fooker and Ki. Others were more complex; for some hidden reason, she seemed obsessed with making Nick fall in love with her. She has even been rumored to be the mastermind behind the entire Nerdvana(start) scam, and was eventually revealed to be a member of the ever elusive and secretive criminal organization, C.R.U.D.E. under the alias of Stratego. Everything she did seems to have ulterior motives, all of which point to some greater, grander, more hideous plan than we could ever imagine....

That plan eventually surfaced in Surreptitious Machinations. Guided by a future version of herself, now ruler of the entire world, our Trudy began to methodically disassemble GPF Software from within and without, scattering her coworkers across the country. All of this was necessary to isolate Nick and have him build the ultimate weapon she needed to complete the cycle and conquer the world. However, her plans were ultimately shattered by the time-traveling Todd, who aided Ki, Fooker, and the others in wrestling Nick away from her influence. With her plans destroyed, Trudy was then at the mercy of her C.R.U.D.E. cohorts.

So far, we do not know how she escaped from C.R.U.D.E., but we do know she's been busy. After a quick visit to her parents, Trudy tried to seek entry to the mysterious Concordat through Funny Farm's Clifford Mayers. In the rash of back-stabbing that ensued, she was again on the run, this time in worse shape than before. She became emotionally broken and on the lam. She was been tormented by strange dreams as her conscience attacked her, and that she sought help from a certain young and impressionable hacker. Online, she apparently went by the alias of "s1r3n", and she may have changed her appearance to avoid capture. But the most devastating blow to her psyche was witnessing Nick's proposal to Ki; she seemed genuinely disturbed by the scene and fled into the night, into an uncertain future.

The last time we saw Trudy, she was certainly at her lowest of lows. After a brief scuffle with the UGA's Agent #18, Trudy was left battered and injured, ready to die of hypothermia. In the nick of time, she was taken in by Dr. Akhilesh Sehgal and slowly nursed back to health. During this time, Trudy doubted her own sanity and even attempted to commit suicide. However, Dr. Sehgal's persistant determination kept her alive long enough to regain her mobility and listen to the good doctor's religious pontifications. Trudy eventually continued her run from the law, but on one condition: that she take Sehgal's Bible with her. ~~Trudy's whereabouts are currently unknown.~~ She has recently turned up at Nick & Ki's wedding, along with Nega-Trudy.
