Gertrude Acachalla

Gertrude Acachalla née Thatchery (born Margaret Johnson née Thatchery of Gingeria) is one of the main characters in Papa Acachalla Roleplay. She is played by Bethany Frye and is known for her Green sweater and trusty crowbar. She is Papa Acachalla's only known wife (as Medusa was married to another man and Sally Betty Jessica may be a relative) and the stepmother of Billy, Sally, Sue, and Spencer. She is the most calm and level-headed member of the Acachalla family, though she will often join Billy and Sally when they decide to do something insane, such as keep a creepy dragon as a pet or transform themselves into Velociraptors. Her weapon of choice is a crowbar. Many of her accomplishments include winning The Annual Acachalla Family Tricentennial Yacht/Boat Race, robbing a bank with her family, and being a world-class Olympic Crowbar Hurdler. She is also the last of the Gingerians after the planet Gingeria was destroyed by a Black Hole Device that was accidentally created by her late husband Mr. Johnson.

Her crowbar was once stolen by Bonnie at the supermarket and after that she claimed she would never ever step foot in a shopping market. The crowbar was reclaimed by unknown means.

Papa Acachalla has theorised Gertrude's identity as a inter-dimensional law keeper, with the ability to negotiate, tame, and successfully defeat powerful paranormal entities. This was suggested because Gertrude's crowbar was studied as a perfect weapon against ghosts, due to it being comprised of rust, and powers to send people into other dementions. Gertrude insists the claims are false and becomes irritated when someone brings it up, despite receiving a great deal of respect from her peers. In truth, Gertrude revealed herself to have been a bounty hunter, who took on the deadliest of creatures including zombies.

Biography
See Margaret Johnson for further details.

Early Life
Gertrude was born very small and lived with her family in a house in the sky. A door-to-door scientist shrunk her entire family to her own size; she eventually grew bigger. Gertrude and Sister Gertrude both became too small and the sister was eaten by a rat. Gertrude killed the salesman, but not before vowing his family to take revenge. Gertrude and the others regained normal size during an inter-dimensional bath.

Stepping Out
Before she settled down to raise a family, Gertrude took a lot of different jobs, most of which she was fired from. These include: She had spent most of her time being a professional bounty hunter, which is what she was (posing as a bank teller) when she met her future husband Papa Acachalla.
 * Bank Teller
 * Shopkeeper
 * Hospital Administrator
 * Supermarket attendant/cashier
 * Professional Wrestler
 * Zombie Slayer
 * Superhero (possibly The Crowbar)

Gertrude's father Gertion, a former policeman (ironic as the family ran the Gertion Mafia), ran a shop that had been converted from a police station. Gertrude took it over when he died. It was in this shop that she first met Spencer who came in to buy World of Warcraft: Console Edition. After several unsuccessful attempts to sell him some consoles, she led him into the firing range in the basement and shot him. Eventually the store was bought up by Richie Rich, who turned into a school for video games. An 11-year-old girl who sounded like Maddie Friend wandered in by mistake and became trapped there.

Gertrude once won an Olympic Boxing Competition by hitting her opponent with a crowbar.

Sam's male cousin Suzie went to Gertrude's store. She had a complaint about her Wii-U that she bought last week that began to dispense baloney that killed his brother.

Bonecrusher, professional WWE wrestler, went in looking for a wrestling game.

Jackson is 87 and wants to buy a game console from Gertrude's prison/shop. Gertrude pointed out that he was actually 25, Jackson realised that, as he hadn't had a mid-life crisis yet, he didn't need a video game system, and left.

Adoption, Marriage and Adopting
Papa Acachalla met Gertrude during a bank robbery with Jose and Maxwell. Gertrude was the bank teller that they stuck up (though she claims at the time she was a bounty hunter). According to Papa, she fell for him instantly, however this may have been an exaggeration. At the time Acachalla looked like Jim Steinman and stole all his clothes from his friend, who was also a time traveller, which is why he was wearing Levi Jeans.

However, according to Gertrude, she met him at his 7-11 during a zombie apocalypse when he was dressed like a superhero. She fell for him instantly.

Gertrude was originally adopted by Papa Acachalla as a daughter, however somehow they eventually became married to each other. Since then, Gertrude brought in every stray that crossed their threshold, such as Sally, Billy, Spencer, Sue, and even a Spaghetti Monster from the 13th Dimension and WWE wrestler John Cena, who actually was Sally in a disguise.

She and Billy posed as superheroes and fought off a zombie outbreak in Russia.

Queen Gertrude
Somewhere along the line Gertrude became the queen of the 5th dimension. This was discovered by Johnny Ghost and Spooker when trying to find the cure for Spooker being turned into a puppymonkeybaby. The Kingdom seems to have been abandoned after Spooker had killed most of the inhabitants, because it showed up again in the FNAF vs Zootopia video with no one living in it.

Personality
Out of all in the Acachalla family, Gertrude is the least bombastic and most reasonable, though this makes her easy to manipulate and hard to surprise. When she dies or becomes wild it is usually through the exploits of her children. However, Gertrude is capable of maniacal acts, like when she imprisoned P.I.E investigators into a virtual world simply to entertain her children.

During the times of the old west, a younger Gertrude was far more ambitious, prideful and ill tempered, believing herself to be the greatest crowbar wielder in the west. It was only when she lost to Chet Jenkins, that Gertrude became humble.

Gertrude seems to have an obsession with adopting children. More recently she seems to be becoming more and more neurotic; she has no qualms with killing random people.

Billy Acachalla/Smigglebug
Gertrude takes care of Billy, and he calls her Mama Gertrude. In later videos she accepted both Billy and Sally and is currently taking care of them in the role of a mother. Once she claimed that Billy would grow up to be like his father (here we don't know that she meant Papa Acachalla or Smigglebug, but most likely she meant Papa as she is his wife). Billy tends to constantly pester Gertrude, but Gertrude can put up with it.

Sally Acachalla
Gertrude is Sally's step "mommy," though she acts more like Sally's mother than Billy's. The only episodes with Sally and Gertrude seeing each other before "4-sibling videos"  were the Thanksgiving episode when Gertrude promised Sally waffles for Thanksgiving dinner, and the prison horror map where Gertrude helps protect Billy and Sally from the evil that haunts the prison. Gertrude mentions Sally in few episodes with Billy, and Sally mentioned her in episodes (mostly in the ones with Billy). In later episodes(where all 4 siblings play) they are together most of the time. Sally commonly asks for things that she wants, and Gertrude is slightly afraid to say no. Gertrude accidentally adopted Sally a second time, Thinking that Sally was John Cena.

Papa Acachalla
Gertrude is Papa Acachalla's wife, as revealed in the dumbbell weapon mod. In older episodes she was his friend, sister, or (adopted) daughter. Gertrude takes care of her "children". They create a happy yet strange family. In the 4-player hide and seek mod, it was revealed that Gertrude first met Papa Acachalla when she worked at a 7-11 that was frequently visited by Papa Acachalla, and with every visit she would compliment him by saying that he was cute, which eventually led to the two of them falling in love and getting married. Gertrude seems to do most of the work around the house, but she often encourages Papa Acachalla to help and take his share of the work, though it never works. Papa himself admits having no idea how they got married, as originally he had adopted her as a daughter.

Gertion
Gertion is said to be Gertrude's great-great grandfather. There is a painting of him in the Acachalla Manor with his gang and the Gertions wielding everything except for a crowbar, even though Gertrude says that it was passed down from him. This is from the Bubble Gun mod, when Officer Maloney was there.

Maddie friend
Maddie Friend is Gertrude's twin sister. She is also a stalker who follows the Acachalla family, but focuses solely on getting Billy to sign her shirt, even though Papa Acachalla scared her. Maddie's personality resembles Gertrude's when she was younger. This was shown in the Human Rocket Launcher Mod. Maddie Friend seems to try to ignore Gertrude, saying that she is mean. They are never together at the same time, so both of them appear to avoid the other. Even though Maddie hates Gertrude, she still continues to stalk Billy and the rest of the Acachallas.

Maloney
Officer Maloney and Gertrude have an exceptionally long history together. First meeting back when Maloney used a bubble gun, he investigated Gertrude's family mansion for illegal behavior. Upon finding enough evidence to arrest Gertrude, the once gracious host engaged Maloney and killed him with his own weapon.

Now a days, Gertrude is usually the one to try and talk Maloney down whenever he investigates the Acachalla's.

TomTom
TomTom, also known by the name of Professor Schwarzenegger, was Gertrude's bum of a brother in the shrink ray mod, is bald man probably in his forties. TomTom is possibly the father of Spencer, an annoying nerd commonly seen with the roleplay cast and almost anyone else from Gertrude to Edward, the SCUBA diver that took him for his research. TomTom may have been killed by the storms created by Cierra and Bethany at the family reunion in the episode Tornado Storm Mod.

Sue Acachalla
Gertrude adopted Sue out of a sort of pity for how suckish he was. However, she accidentally adopted him as a daughter. Sadly, Papa Acachalla objected to his entire adoption. Sue was adopted in the Acachalla Zoo video, and Gertrude seems to be more caring towards Sue than to Billy. Gertrude is very patient towards him, and treats him the same as the rest of her step-children.

Freddie
Being the family pet, Freddie is accepted into the family by Gertrude, although she dislikes it when Freddie attempts to eat her. Freddie's brother Freddio is first seen in the Gmod NPC Raptor mod and had many clones of himself in the video.

Spencer
Out of all the Acachalla members, Gertrude tends to be the kindest to Spencer. Though certainly fine with his imprisonment in the basement, Gertrude is more than willing to cooperate and meet Spencer's demands. Gertrude is also usually the first person to negotiate with spencer. It is likely his adoption is all part of Gertrude's compulsion to adopt any random character.

Samantha
Samantha was a family member whom Gertrude believed to have died on a family reunion that coincided with a particularly nasty storm. Gertrude was particularly affected badly by Sam's apparent death and refused to talk about it for a very long time.

Gertie
Gertie was Gertrude's cousin. He was also killed in the storm.

Citizens of the 5th Dimension
Gertrude is the queen of the 5th Dimension and the citizens basically worship her. They don't let anyone see her without a special pass.

Mr. Johnson
Mr.Johnson was Gertrude's first husband from when she was Margaret Johnson. He died when Gingeria was destroyed by a Black Hole Device he accidentally created. He saved Margeret/Gertrude by sending her to Earth.

Annie Thatchery
Annie was Gertrude's sister from when she was Margeret Johnson. She presumably died when Gingeria was destroyed.

Gavin Toast
Gertrude once teamed up with Gavin to steal Papa Acachalla's money and gold.
