Ava Johnson

Ava Nichole Johnson, Rainbow Angel designation ZJ399A and also referred to as the Scarlet Dragon (born February 8, KTS 2012 as Avary Nicolette Johansson), is one of Jet's many Rainbow Angel females. Ava is also the first one to be directly affected by an Ursula variant.

Appearance
Ava's main look in her normal state is of a girl with very long blonde hair possessing a scarlet fringe on the left side, and matching eyes she normally conceals under a pair of sunglasses. Her primary outfit choice appears to be a random tube top under a worn-open jacket, with a miniskirt, scarlet thigh-high stockings, and Devious Femme-12 platform ballet heels. Unlike fellow Prime Series Rainbow Angels Ava Baxter of the Super X platoon and Ruby Bray of the Delta Kong 5 (the latter of whom would transfer to Series 12 in 2241) Ava can wear her Femme-12s without the stockings, which she only pairs with her favorite heels when in a compatible miniskirt (which very few non-XQ people know was inspired by Jet's lone pre-2550 skirt scheme).

Because her Rainbow Angel form was the result of Rochelle using the Star-X Cursebreaker to protect her from Ursula's machinations, her original form (Avary) lacks the scarlet fringe and had blue eyes instead of her more famous scarlet.

History
Ava first learned of XQ in 2028 randomly, two years before she entered a NASCAR-styled racing series as part of a plot by Ursula, who intended to use Ava to kill a brown-eyed Anise variant against whom Ava competed. She was unaware of her Rainbow Angel status until later, though.

Ursula, who found out that fact before Ava herself did, tagged Ava with a curse that would eventually kill her, along with a failsafe codeword Ursula would deploy in a last-ditch scenario. As part of her ultimate plan, she would cause Ava to crash while in front of the field, the resulting pile-up causing massive damage that would kill both a brown-eyed Anise variant and several dozen spectators (aided by other curses deployed by Ursula). Ava, however, learned of the plan before Ursula could implement it, alongside said Anise variant (who Ava had contact the Amethyst Angel via Counterpart Connection, with OZ Anise bringing her blonde ZK3 teammate Rochelle along); by the time Ursula remembered the failsafe codeword Rochelle had given Ava her more famous scarlet-eyed form (as Ursula had synced the curse to Ava's original one).

Upon joining a then-one division XQ in 2031 Ava originally limited herself solely to seven pairs of heels, all of them platform ballet heels, with an emphasis on the Femme-12. Quickly aligning with fellow RHR native Jasmine Levesque, Ava would quickly become a powerhouse despite her preferred shoes (much like Jasmine, who was very fast despite normally wearing extreme heels herself).

In 2034 Ava entered an unknown dimension to compete in a ballet heel-only Pokemon league. With far and away the largest starter score due to her XQ allegiance, combined with the default XQ skill set regarding high heels in general, Ava made quick work of the opposition. Her final opponent, however, before the final tournament was Rainbow Angel hopeful Kordelia (whom Ava saved from a group of criminals by incapacitating all eleven of them within a second despite having allowed them to tie her ankles together). Kordelia could've qualified as a trainer as she was in the ballet ankle boots Ava especially loved, but in being held hostage had found her own ankles tied together; unlike the others who found Kordelia in such a predicament where her boots' heels weren't part of the bondage (which was removed first) Ava kept the ankle bondage in place (this time the ankle bondage was threaded through the heels) while also maintaining her own. In what was clearly Ava's toughest battle (refereed by another Rainbow Angel hopeful sharing Kordelia's origin and using the ankle bondage scheme in place on Kordelia's ballet ankle boots for her own red pumps) Ava managed to win; she went on to win the entire league while maintaining her ankle bondage. Her dedication to the bondage saw Kordelia adopt Ava as her middle name; Ava would obtain her own pair of Kordelia's ballet ankle boots to allow her fellow blonde to wear Ava's own main Femme-12 platform ballets (notably Ava would do this before creating Level 12-Iota, whereas Rosa didn't wait for it before creating Level 5-Rho).

In 2039 Ava was one of three girls Jet mentioned in causing RTQ Remnant native Glynda Goodwitch faint twice, alongside Rainbow AH member Holly Narvaez (whose main heels were the taller Karo-exclusive platform ballet of Ava's collection, the normally nine-inch-heeled 0992) and fellow RHR native Jasmine Levesque (only Jasmine was mentioned on the intentional second occurrance). Upon entering the dimension herself Ava would save a variant of Ruby Rose with her own variant of Ruby's weapon, a scarlet-colored variant she dubbed 'Scarlet Iota'. One of the first Rainbow Angels to gain an Angelic power boost while there, and even participating in the Star Hawx concert during a dance event (as one of three lead guitarists, alongside Jet and a lesser-known, more recently-added Rainbow Angel named Midori, for the Star Hawx' cover of "Through the Fire and Flames", sung by Rochelle; Ava's involvement (which saw Rochelle promptly call the role of lead vocalist) is due to a line mentioning how Ava gained her more famous scarlet-eyed form). Ava participated as a primarily support role in the April 2043 raid of the QZX base using Scarlet Iota. Among other events she experienced during her stint was getting roped into a Cops and Crooks match against Team CRDL (to even the playing field; since her teammates were Anise, Jasmine, and Chase Rienzo, Ava was a non-factor for a sequence Sky alone saw coming).

After the events in RTQ, Ava would mostly sit out until 2071. At this point she would undergo her next mission, returning to Remnant (albeit the WLI variant) to help a group of twelve first-year Beacon students in particular on a tip-off from South Park Golden Knight Korbin McCormick; two of the three teams were led by 15-year-olds, one of them essentially a Ruby Rose version of herself (resulting from Ava's personal Rainbow Queen while maintaining Ruby's own black-with-red-tint hair color - altered to have Ava's scarlet fringe). Ava would soon learn of a series of evolutions to the Super Saiyan Angel form when Daisy Princeton used an electric storm a trio who turned out to be variants of the QZX trio were intending to use for sinister purposes to unlock the first evolution (gaining her signature thunderheels as a result), then watching Daisy resurrect her fallen friend (whose murder by Ursula triggered the transformation in the first place) with the sister technique to how she got her own form.

Once she got done with that mission Ava would be mostly inactive again; it wouldn't be until 2187 that her next mission came up. Acting on a tip-off from Adrienne Azeat (who had provided a flare that led her and the others of her group there in the first place) Ava would go to the VSR system of Chronoverse 15 as part of a Rochelle-led group sent to stop two simultaneous rape attempts; Rochelle herself dealt with the one from where the flare was launched (Rochelle, whose crime fighting preference was rape incidents, cited later on that it was her first case of same-sex rape with males) while Ava and the others spread out, Ava being the one lucky enough to find the second one, on the local variant of Alexis Azeat (the victim of the attempted rape that led to the QZX trio's downfall). Once the two had recovered Ava would team with them, as a trio dubbed the Neos Royals; Ava would focus on the Red-Eyes Black Dragon archetype in tribute to her own scarlet eyes while her native teammates would use their canon variants' archetypes.

In 2194 Ava, alongside her native teammates and soon joined by Lexi Ziska and Anastasia Brayton (the latter, admitting she entered late, soon forced into her edgier Diamond Diva persona), entered C15-VSR's Duel Academy as a fourth group dubbed 'rainbow' in tribute to Ava, Anastasia, and Lexi Z being Rainbow Angels. (Only the male teammate, the lone male of the quintet, wasn't in heels, with Anastasia's being forced to use her edgier persona mainly being to compensate for Ava being allowed to wear her scarlet stockings as part of her outfit due to her uniform having a compatible miniskirt for them). While most of the primary action was between her native teammates and Anastasia's quest to gain the ability to wear her dream ballet boots (a native, sharing a name with Ava's higher-ranked fellow RHR native, whose canon variant aligned with Alexis, was the one who had a pair of the heels in question), Ava herself also had some memorable events happen to her. Once the "mission" finally ended (for the second time a new Rainbow Angel was detected late and with a pregnancy-mandating Bond trigger made an appearance at a school in another dimension the scarlet-eyed blonde attended) Ava was able to make her two allies XQ operatives, albeit of the Main Division, on returning to the base. Since then Ava has mostly been inactive.

During one particular Gamer-based mission in Remnant Ava took on her old blue-eyed form and the name associated with it. It wasn't until she took down Salem at the end of said mission that the natives realized she had done so, when her XQ anti-death failsafe kicked in.

Trivia

 * Ava only owned the seven platform ballet heels at the time she competed in her league in 2034.
 * She would send fellow Prime Series Rainbow Angel Lauren Tracy on a similar mission after she made the mistake of making a dare regarding one of Jet's primary interests while Jet himself was nearby. She herself knows better than to do that.
 * Her primary pair of the set, the Femme-12, is the only one she wears her signature scarlet thigh-high stockings with when paired with a compatible miniskirt. She wore the Femme-12 during her 2034 league, and had only brought miniskirts compatible with her favorite stockings with her (she had locked the heels over them, as the league in question mandated).
 * She was able to wear them for the league and comply with the requirement for having them locked on after Anise wore the same heels locked on during the events of Samurai Angel. Anise only pairs the heels with Ava's preferred style of stockings when wearing the combo for a role more synonomous with Ava's preferred stockings than Anise's preferred fishnets.
 * Her entirely scarlet-haired lookalike Ava Baxter of the Super X Platoon would be limited to the scheme with an Arsenal Lock, only without the miniskirt limitation. Ruby Saraya Bray, the only Delta Kong 5 Original to change Series, willingly limited herself to the same scheme herself before becoming permanent in 2140.  (Ruby would later transfer to Series 12 - which mandates the Femme-12 and Ava's preferred style of stockings minus a color restriction - in 2241 courtesy of Hollie Brazie, with Hollie Nightshade getting caught in the blast and converting as well; Ruby's slot in the Prime Series would be taken over by one of five newcomers to also result from it, in Rose Davies)
 * Series 12 Rainbow Angels are required to wear the scheme at all times, but with no specific color limitations to the mandatory thigh-high stockings. Such limitations would then be added in the form of Series K5 options, with K5R using Ava's signature scarlet version.
 * During the league Ava's final badge opponent was Kordelia, a blonde who was in Ava's favorite of her known heels, a pair of ballet ankle boots. Also in the same area was Kionna Duval, another girl from Kordelia's previous position, who was topless in her only known shoes, her signature red pumps.  Both girls, plus seven others, happened to be Rainbow Angels as well.
 * Both Ava's trio mate Danaerys and Rainbow AH's Holly Narvaez would adopt similar schemes with their own respective platform ballet heels, Danaerys pairing teal thigh-highs with her Karo 0255s while Holly Narvaez paired her Karo 0992s with brown stockings.
 * Holly started her setup courtesy of receiving what would've been Kordelia's exception to the 12-Iota rules (which resulted from Ava creating the form after enabling Kordelia to wear the Femme-12). The brown color of her thigh-highs is a reference to her link to Achievement Hunter being Ray.
 * Ava gave Kordelia the ability to wear the Femme-12 by buying herself her own pair of Kordelia's ballet ankle boots.
 * Ava, though possessing all seven of the main platform ballet models known to XQ, only bothers wearing four of them. The only boot of the equation is the Femme-3010, the only boot of four without laces.
 * Likely thanks to Rosa wearing strictly lace-up thigh-high ballet boots almost all the time, though as such ballets were what Rosa's ability to handle them easily manifested in she gets a pass.
 * Ava has only twice attempted to attend a school in another dimension as a student; both times a Rainbow Angel who was previously undetected and with her teammate Jasmine's Bond trigger would be discovered during the stint.
 * in 2039 Ava was amongst a Rainbow Angel contingent in RTQ Remnant when Octavia Ember was revealed to be one (Jet already knew of Blake, Coco, and Emerald, and had already Bonded Marissa, whom he had originally met twelve years prior during Cyan Star Zenon when she was still known as Miltia). She was one of three, alongside her trio mate Jasmine, to be referenced by Jet during his solo stint a few days in advance.
 * She got lucky in 2063 alongside Elise Haywood and second-gen Rochelle Jade 'R.J.' Azeat, but attending as a student wasn't the original plan; they were there to thwart someone who was plotting to go Dark, and used their knowledge of Jet to discern the suspect as a male who tried making any pursuers go for females via the theft of a female victim's high heels. Ava had been given clearance to swap the normal knee-high socks and black flat-esque shoes for her scarlet stockings and Femme-12s.
 * in 2194 Ava intended to be alongside her Neos Royals teammates Jaden and Alexis, plus existing Rainbow Angels Anastasia Brayton (who had also been in the 2039 contingent) and Lexi Ziska; the surprise addition was then-Series 3300 Alpha Kandyce Azeat in her last appearance before becoming a permanent bride (taking Series 3300's bridal theme for the stockings and mandatory high heels to heart so heavily that after her Bonding she exclusively dressed the way primary Alpha Anise's teammate Lily envisioned the Series 3300 permanent bride look to be). Despite the different subrealm of origin, Kandyce and Lexi are both from the Nutaku Network.
 * When Kandyce successfully activated the Rainbow Angel-"exclusive" spell 'Omega Evolution' Ava's reaction was a line Anastasia understood but Lexi Z didn't. As Lexi's home dimension wasn't accessed by Jet until 2139 the pinkette's confusion is understandable.
 * The line was Ava comparing Kandyce to Octavia, whose slot was discovered in 2039, as Ava remarked Kandyce successfully deploying 'Omega Evolution' felt "like 2039 all over again".
 * Lexi Z's home subrealm of the Nutaku Network is the world of a game called 'PeroPero Seduction', whereas Kandyce is from 'Flower Knight Girl'.
 * Lexi took on her name possibly as a tribute to 'Darkstalkers GX' as that version of Alexis is described (by Alexis herself) to be a succubus; Kandyce was born with her name (and Omega Diva power).
