There is a theory I'm sure everyone and their brother knows about how Roo's name is short for the root of all evil. Well I personally don't believe that theory and I wanted to share what my theory about her name is.

I think the reason Roo's name is Roo is because of a character named Izzi. If you don't know Izzi is an old villain from Zoophobia and appeared in the addict music video.

Not much was known about him Zoophobia other than he was a demon hunter and a generally unpleasant person being a master of games of sorts and an instigator and self-proclaimed father of a few Zoophobia's villains.

Now back in 2019 viv made a music video for the song Addict by Silva Hound that featured Izzi. He was in a couple of scenes during Cherri Bomb's part of the song.

He seems to be some sort of ex boyfriend of Cherri's endplays a big role in her story. As viv stated back in the Australia Wildfire Stream that the reason that Cherri is Australian as Viv realized it would make sense for Cherri to be Australian since there was a character that was a part of her story that was already Australian. And since Izzi was always intended to be Australian he was clearly the character she was referring to.

Now I bring all of this up as Roo's name is actually slang in Australia for Kangaroo. This is important to note when you have a character who was a hunter and generally unpleasant. And the fact that Roo has chains on her arms and neck like an animal. I think Roo is someone that Izzi is hunting down and he calls her Roo as a way to dehumanize her but also because she's one of the few demons that escaped him and is constantly on the run from him and Kangaroos are known for their speed and strength.

Even if Izzi didn't name Roo I definitely think there's a connection between the two. There are many similarities with their designs. They both have similar hats and have trench coats, they both have (or at least had in Izzi's case) chains around their necks all the time not just in certain situations like Husk and Angel, and they both have white color scheme that's is ruined by corruption. Izzi being covered in either dirt or blood depending on which design you're looking at. Their tongues are also different from others with roos being a mass of tentacles and teeth and Izzi's being barbed wire.
