Description[]

Ursula is a civilian character with ties to the Clowns. She excels at gathering information and distributing that information in strategic ways. She is currently not in the city.

Major Plotlines[]

The Mime Wars[]

MirthWar

Ursula received her draft letter at the end of 3.0 as a masked member of the Clowncil.

The charter plane left Los Santos, only Ursula and Lily Night-Sky on board. She tried to enjoy the flight but soon remembered what she was flying into. Flashes of Sanguine went through her mind. The sound of shells hitting the ground and the drone noise never ending. The screams of people who were injured. The smell of blood and gunfire. She closed her eyes and tried not to let anyone else see her fears across her face.

Arriving at the barracks, she was separated from the other clowns and placed into the clown media accommodations, saying she was specifically drafted because of her Sanguine Isle footage and work on Ramee El-Rahman's mayoral campaign. She was to be a Wartime Clownspondent, running propaganda and news coverage for all clowns to see and absorb.

Her work was impeccable, drawing more clowns in as volunteers for the war. She was sent to different barracks, different regiments, sometimes seeing those from Los Santos, but most of the time, she was with foreign clowns she didn’t know.

When possible, when given leave, she visited Carcer City to see Kenneth Jesperson, or flew back to Los Santos to visit with Jack Ripley, Fauna, or Fey. Reminding herself that she was fighting for something, even if they didn’t understand.

Watching all that carnage and destruction had an impact on her, changing her fundamentally. Her alters folded into her, becoming integrated into Ursula. Her memories flooded back, and she remembered her full childhood, Hela, her nanny, her real high school years, and the institute. It was looking at a dream within a dream, and it broke her.

She leaned on the part of herself that used to be Pandora and went blank inside. She stopped taking leave to visit her loves, and for the last year of the war, she felt the deadness inside creep up. As she realized what was happening, she knew this was the darkness that Eris warned her about. The part that didn’t care about anything or anyone. The part that enjoyed watching the bloodshed.

The war ended. The mimes won. And Ursula felt nothing.

First Scenes with Past Partners[]

Since returning to Los Santos, Ursula has talked to and remains on friendly terms with her previous partners.

Ursula met up with Fauna a few days after arriving back in Los Santos. Listening in on a call, Ursula learned that Fey didn't remember her. She felt unbothered by this revelation. A few days later, they "met" when Ursula served her at Snr. Buns. Fey apologized for not remembering her and said she seemed really pretty.

Kenneth Jesperson, using a voice changer, invited Ursula to talk at the lighthouse. She initially threatened him with a knife, but put it away when she saw it was Ken under the mask. They agreed that it was good to see each other again.

Mid-January 2024, Jack Ripley enlisted the help of the Clowns to get his job back on the police force. This would turn out to be a ruse. Instead of yelling the code word for the clowns to come out of hiding, Ripley told off the chief of police and drove off. A while later, he returned to the group dressed as a clown. The clowns held a meeting to determine whether or not to allow him to join the NCO. Ursula was on his side, citing many of his past actions against Chatterbox as very clown-like and pointing out that Chatterbox would have laughed had the pranks happened to Stumbles. As a loyalty test, the clowns told Ripley to kidnap Cletus Cornwood and force him to play Clown Risk. After Ripley fell off the bridge, Ursula visited him in the hospital.

New Clown Order[]

UrsulaCheckers

Upon her return to Los Santos, Ursula met some familiar clowns, including Chatterbox, who extended an early invitation to Mirth to join the burgeoning New Clown Order as a shadow clown.

Sixteen days later (Jan 5, 2024), Ursula would receive her official invitation to join the New Clown Order. Despite some clowns' ambivalence towards Ursula/Mirth, she was offered a position as "Master of Whisperers" due to her connections in the city. During this meeting, Ursula revealed she would be changing her clownsona from Mirth to Checkers. A few days later, Chatterbox called Ursula to confirm that all the clowns were willing to work with her. They met up and she signed The New Clown Order Code book as Checkers.

Early on, Ursula tended to hang out with the Clowns as herself instead of putting on her Checkers outfit/voice to minimize the chances of people figuring out her clownsona. She would deny being a Clown when anyone asked.

First Mayoral Election[]

Ursula's first major news story with Weazel News involved providing unbiased coverage of the first mayoral race and election. She filmed the first debate and submitted probing questions such as "Which candidate would you vote for if you couldn't vote for yourself?".

On December 30, 2023, Ursula released a video titled "Mayoral Candidate Complicit in Attempted Murder?" featuring Vivek Ramasquamy and his campaign manager Lilith Fulker. She then covered the resulting court case where the duo claimed the footage was of a consensual, throuple sex act gone wrong. They were convicted (violent felony), thereby disqualifying Ramasquamy from running for mayor. Ursula has also documented court cases between Ramasquamy and his then-opponent Pilbis Shonley. The first involving an alleged stabbing with a cheese knife, done by Ramasquamy. The second involving Shonley allegedly libeling Ramasquamy on Twatter.

When the polls opened on Jan 13, 2024, Ursula conducted exit polling on behalf of Weazel News. The results showed Maximilian Thoroughbred taking an early lead. A trend that continued a few days later when she posted the next set of results on Twatter. Michael Simone and Stelio Lambros were close behind.

On January 20, 2024, Ursula received an ominous phone call from Bobby Charles that someone was going to assassinate Max when the election results were announced. She was able to capture footage of an attack by a man in a red jumpsuit wielding a wrench. (Later identified as Timo Korhonen.) Between the assassin and police crossfire, many people were incapacitated. Victims included Maximilian Thoroughbred, Siobhan Fitzpatrick, and Alan Crane. Bobby approached Ursula immediately following the attack to take credit.

DONG[]

Vivek Ramasquamy and Lilith Fulker invited Ursula to join DONG (Day One News Group) on January 12, 2024. The group's color scheme is red.

Her documentary with the group "Storming City Hall: Acts of a Peaceful Protest" shows the actions of Ramasquamy's supporters on Jan 6th. She also filmed some random events such as Vivek and Lilith getting out of a jaywalking ticket and the "Ramasquamy Royale" (A Bachelorette-style show starring Carmella Corset.)

DED-PAN[]

March 2024, Ursula founded the group DED-PAN. (Her version of C-SPAN.) She films and publishes videos of important happenings around the city.

The Rise of Checkers[]

June 19, 2024, ADMC members kidnapped Ursula so Barry Benson could talk to her about the city council shooting. He expressed his frustration that he had to watch his son's (TJ Walker) death on social media. But first, he had to watch an ad for a razor company. Ursula told him that TJ would have wanted the video out there, citing TJ's eagerness to spread the word about Sanguine Isle during the war. Barry, unswayed, demanded that Ursula pull out her camera and film her own demise. Shooting her and then attempting to throw her body off the cliff.

Ursula woke up four days later in the ICU. She contacted Mr. K for a ride from the hospital and learned Chang Gang was holding one of her kidnappers, Shang Liu. Mr. K offered her a chance to get revenge. She chose to do exactly what Shang did to her. "Talk to him and then let everyone else deal with him how they want to".

Later that day, Ursula met with some of the Clowns. She explained to them that being in the ICU reminded her of being in the war. She missed it. They also discussed the protection that could come with her telling other gangs she's with the Clowns. The next day (June 24, 2024), a very drunk Ursula officially revealed herself as Checkers.

A few days later, a still very drunk Ursula would reveal more about what happened to her and her alters during the Mime Wars.

UrsulaCheckers2

Talking to Chatterbox about what she went through made her feel slightly better.

Checkers would regularly hang out with the Clowns and work with them at Funhouse Foods. She didn't have any felonies, so she would usually dip when the others started doing crime.

She attended and graduated from Clown College July 2024.

Checkers appears in Dee Mented's song KiLL THe CLoWNz.

September 30, 2024, Ursula got a new custom mask. It features checkers above the eyes, heart accents, and red/gray hair on the sides.

Leaving Los Santos[]

UrsulaLeaving

September 27, 2024, Chatterbox started acting increasingly paranoid. Initially, Ursula attempted to comfort him with hugs and sympathizing with his broken heart. As Chatterbox's paranoia grew, he began attracting a group of followers to help with his mission to "remove the weeds". Ursula was able to go between Team Chatty and Team Sanity (as she called them), collecting information from both sides.

As the conflict continued, Ursula received a tarot reading from Windsong. When she asked the cards what she should do, they revealed The Hermit. An indication she should let him soul search without getting involved.

October 2, Chatterbox had a group of clowns kidnap Ursula from Funhouse Foods. They brought her to a cage that had been set up behind The Funhouse. Ursula tried to appeal to their shared trauma. (Both of them were locked in cages when they were young.) The Chatterbox she considered a brother was gone. He demanded to know if she was a weed. Then asked if she would kill for him. Would she kill Dick Tips? She refused because of her relationship with Sooty. He then requested that she kill Jimbo. Ursula hesitated before agreeing to do it. She was released under Osvaldo's watch. They drove around talking for a while, realizing they were both in similar, bad positions. Osvaldo would seek therapy and Ursula would test to see what would happen if she didn't prove her loyalty this time.

The next day, Chatterbox, Ember, and Cracky were sent to prison for their roles in a murder. They found out Ursula wasn't going to kill Jimbo. (She's a weed!) Ursula, as DOC, began messing with Chatterbox psychologically. She dressed up as Cups and posted images of the couple on social media. Ursula also cut off her own finger and fed it to Chatterbox as a way of letting him know there wasn't anything he could do to hurt her physically that she couldn't do worse to herself.

On October 4, Ursula continued the back and forth exchanges with Team Chatty. They continued rioting and she watched. There were times the old Chatty would show through. The last time she saw him, he was begging to be put in solitary so he could stop hurting people. Ursula stood outside his cell tearing up, talking to him, and eventually being taunted by his dark side.

Following a phone conversation with Kirk, she made the tough decision to leave Los Santos for good. She realized she can do nothing for the clowns because she is always lying. Always scared, always suspicious.

Major Occupations[]

On Ursula's first day back in the city, she was hired at Snr. Buns by Maxx McAllister. Ursula became known for her "excellent" customer service skills and deadpan delivery of, "Have a bunderful day." She quickly rose to the rank of Junior Manager. After some corporate restructuring, her role was renamed to Assistant Manager. She would perform managerial duties when they arose such as breaking up fights and training new employees. Occasionally, she would mention still being a manager, despite not going into work.

Other early jobs included: working for Weazel News either solo or with Travis Rashguard. She would frequently mention being a Pulitzer Prize winner, citing her previous journalistic pursuits. Ursula also drove for Guber in her mint green and lavender colored Glendale. She would entertain her passengers with thrilling murder stories from the city.

Before leaving the city, Ursula divided her time between working at Funhouse Foods and the Department of Corrections. She was in charge of payroll for Funhouse Foods, worked at the Food Court stall, and occasionally helped out with farming. The Checkers sauce on the Doodle Strudel is named after her. Ursula was sworn in as a DOC on August 5, 2024. Her badge number was 810. She helped the lifers by bringing them food, gossip, and bits of clown culture (Clown Risk).
