Clarissa Punkbelly-Wrinklebutt is the daughter of Cornelius Wrinklebutt and Fennel Punkbelly, born into one of the most influential Shar Pei Canid dynasties of the criminal underworld. Groomed from birth to inherit the leadership of the Curl-Tail Crime Ring, she is a rising political force known for her poise, precise negotiation skills, and calculated charm.

Her arranged betrothal to Hollbrook Smartbottoms, heir of the rival Felt Ear Crime Ring, is considered one of the most significant political gambits in syndicate history.

Appearance

Clarissa carries the refined features of both the Wrinklebutt and Punkbelly bloodlines. Her cream-colored fur, sculpted wrinkles, and tightly curled tail give her a dignified, aristocratic presence. She favors formal desertwear embroidered with clan sigils.

Personality

Clarissa is known for:

  • strategic thinking
  • subtle intimidation
  • a calm but commanding presence
  • dry, incisive humor
  • absolute loyalty to family

She prefers diplomacy to violence but has no qualms about invoking the threat of the Ring.

Early Life

Raised within the fortified Wrinklebutt Estate, Clarissa received elite tutoring in:

  • subtextual negotiation
  • multi-party diplomacy
  • syndicate economics
  • cultural traditions of the Shar Pei Canids

From childhood, she was recognized as the future face of the Curl-Tail syndicate.

Role in the Curl-Tail Crime Ring

Clarissa acts as:

  • a mediator between internal factions
  • an emissary to corporate partners
  • a stabilizing force in times of conflict

Many consider her the most competent syndicate-born negotiator of her generation.

The Betrothal to Hollbrook Smartbottoms

A union intended to unite two rival crime families, the engagement carries the potential for:

  • complete syndicate consolidation

or

  • catastrophic war

Clarissa approaches the alliance with calculated neutrality, neither embracing nor rejecting Hollbrook’s ambitions.

Trivia

  • She owns over 200 antique Terran writing instruments.
  • Her nickname “Velvet Blade” comes from her ability to deliver kind words with lethal implications.
