#ler!mandy

Gen:

She strikes me as a lee-leaning switch, though she’s incredibly hesitant to ask anyone, or even acknowledge her moods herself.

She’s the Blonde Blazer: strong, reliable, mature. Would people still respect her if they knew?

Obviously, this changes once she gets closer to the Z-Team and learns to accept herself. Their methods of exposure therapy are rather effective.

Lee:

She’s a VERY giddy lee

She views being tickled as a way to destress when time allows. It’s fun for her, just letting go and laughing freely with someone she trusts.

Thanks to her timidness around being tickled, teasing her is an easy way to render her speechless and blushing.

Air tickles kill her, too. If she knows you’re going to try to get her, she’ll giggle and flinch away from even one wiggly finger. And you know that she’s going to be blushing up a storm the whole time.

When she first starts getting comfortable with the Z-Team outside of work is when the lee moods really get her. These guys are constantly messing around, teasing one another, the closer pairs trading off-hand pokes or jabs. In some cases, they even full-on attack one another with the silly affection. Mandy can’t help but notice each little moment, her mind lingering.

It’s chaos the moment her friends find out. They’re respectful of her hesitance, of course, but once that wanes, it’s teasing around the clock.

The amulet that provides her powers also toughens her skin, making her not as ticklish while wearing it. It’s rather difficult to find a good spot, though the mind games are still annoyingly effective.

She’s rather ticklish without her amulet, though. A few pokes here and a scribble there will throw her right into a giggle-fit of adorable proportions.

Favorite spots are her hips and neck. There’s something so nice to her about being able to trust someone enough to tickle her hips, and it’s a wonderful spot to have tickled while cuddling. As for her neck, she likes the gentle nature of the spot, and how easy it is to receive tickly kisses there. Our girl is a sucker for tickly affection.

Worst spots are her feet for sure. Any scribbles or light pokes to her soles have her squeaking and squealing, amulet on or off.

If you can get a good enough spot, she may start snorting. The sounds are regarded as a high reward, and she’s incredibly embarrassed about them; any compliments directed towards them immediately have her blushing.

She’s usually decently tired after being tickled, especially if she isn’t wearing her amulet. A nap and some gentle head scratches make the day that much sweeter for her.

Ler:

GOOD LUCK

She’s a menace when she gets into a ler mood. It’s not too frequent, but it definitely still happens.

Robert is a common victim of her shenanigans. A few pokes while they grab drinks turn into a full-on attack, usually resulting in them spilling beer on someone’s carpet. It’s all in good fun, and someone’s only been kicked lightly in the face twice.

She’s super playful, enjoying the fact that she can make others smile while having fun herself. Most of the team don’t mind the silliness either, so it’s a win-win in her mind.

She tries to keep a relatively professional profile at SDN, so most of her mischief occurs while out with the team for drinks or a hang-out in someone’s cramped apartment.

Her and Visi have a bit of a feud going. The invisible woman started sneaking in pokes after her discovery, which prompted Mandy’s stealthy retaliation. Playful war soon followed, though the victor has yet to be decided.

Such a compliment-giver. She’ll find something about you to praise, no matter how vehemently you deny it.

“Oh my god, your laugh is beautiful. Seriously, why have you been hiding this?”

“Ooo, bad spot, huh? Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle. Now, where were we?”

“My nails? Alice painted them for me. Oh, they tickle? What a coincidence….”

“Hey, snorts aren’t gross. They’re fun, and I’m gonna work to hear more of them. C’mere!”

Her tickling style is super playful and sporadic. Lots of pokes, quick scribbles up and down your sides, and fluttering nails to tease you. Her goal is to get the giddiest smile out of you as she can.

Despite all the teasing and poking, she’s incredibly respectful of boundaries. If you tell her to stop, it’s hands-off, care on.

“All good? Need anything?”

Regardless of what you say, you're getting something to drink afterwards: something you specifically requested, or whatever she has change for from the vending machines.

And, of course, cuddles. You know this girl is down for some calm aftercare, maybe a beer or two if it's late and you’re looking to settle in for the night. Those nails are also pretty good for head scratches, if you’re willing to ask.

Tickle Analysis

Lee Ratings

60/100, decently ticklish lee

“Are you ticklish?”

Immediate flush on her cheeks, a small smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. How could she not get at least a little giddy at the mention of her ticklishness? She might deny it or avoid the question if she’s feeling playful, but it’s an obvious farce. She wants you to prove her wrong.

Spot Ratings

Underarms: 55/100, not too bad. It’ll get her giggling and squirming, but no huge reactions.

Back: 35/100, just barely. Super light giggles, could fall asleep while being tickled there.

Stomach: 72/100, definitely a hot spot. She’ll laugh and kick out, try half-heartedly to fight you off. Definitely blushing.

Hips: 60/100, will get some laughs. It’s one of her favorites because they’re just ticklish enough where she’s laughing, but not too intense that she’s losing it.

Shoulders: 30/100, similar to her back. Massages get her grinning, though she can usually conceal her ticklishness if need be.

Neck: 45/100, lots of giggles. One of her favorite spots to have tickly kisses or little brushes on. Perfect for relaxing and cheering her up.

Thighs: 55/100, giggle spot once again. She’ll kick her legs a lot more when tickled here, twist around. The tops are worse than the sides.

Knees: 10/100, really not that sensitive at all. Probably some smiles, though no audible reactions from the tickling alone.

Feet: 90/100, worst spot for sure. Squeaks, squeals, lots of bright laughter. If you try hard enough and tease her, you may even get a snort or two.

Map of Foot Tickle Zones

Arches: 40/100, not the most ticklish part. Maybe stretched out will get to her, but she can usually just giggle.

Between Toes: 70/100, definitely ticklish. She’ll squeal and twist around in your hold, curling up to try and hide the spot.

Under Toes: 95/100, VERY ticklish. Worst part of her foot, will get her squealing and likely snorts in just a minute or two. Deep blushes and lots of cursing.

Sides: 30/100, more flustering than ticklish. Just knowing that you’re close to a sensitive spot is enough to get her giggling and biting her lip.

Balls of Feet: 50/100, laughter and pitchy giggles.

Heels: 53/100, more giggles and squirming. She finds it really hard to stay still when back spots like those are being targeted, especially when most of her foot is left free to move.

Ankles: 65/100, gets to her. She just finds it so flustering for whatever reason. She’ll shake her head back and forth as she giggles, mussing up her hair (amulet on or off).

Soles Overall: 60/100, lots of giggles and the occasional squeal. Plenty of different ways to get her laughing with them, and a rosy blush to accompany them all.

Tickling Others

About a 30/70 split ler to lee, but she does get into ler moods on occasion. She’s a pretty good tickler too; she can wreck you if you ask (or knowingly provoke her).

She tickles others as a fun way to brighten her loved ones’ spirits. As long as they’re comfortable with it, why not make them smile while having a bit of fun herself?

Occasionally, she’ll use tickling as a way to knock a member of the team down a peg (though that’s usually their goal anyway).

~~Scenario: Relaxing with Robert~~

“Still can’t believe that kid got on the billboard,” Mandy sighed, grabbing a beer off her coffee table. She’d invited Robert over to relax after their shift. “If you’re going to vandalize something, at least have a way to escape afterwards.”

Robert chuckled a bit, sipping his own bottle. “Kids are stupid. Bet his train of thought ended at Hey, that looks fun and kinda dangerous.”

“Fair enough.”

Her hand closed around the top of the glass, twisting instinctively. The cap didn’t budge an inch, as she wasn’t wearing her amulet. A soft grunt left her from the effort.

Robert huffed, shaking his head. “You’ve gotta do it normie-style, remember?” He emphasized his point with a small poke to her side, grabbing the bottle from her hands.

She jerked away instinctively, cheeks heating up. “H-hey, I can open a beer myself. Just got used to the powers.”

The way Robert rolled his eyes was fond, but still sparked a bit of vengeful mischief within her. She hadn’t had any beer yet, instead drunk off giddiness and a slight taste of exhaustion from work.

Without much thought, Mandy lunged at him, latching her fingers onto his sides. Her nails immediately began spidering along his shirt, pressing in just hard enough to get a yelp out of him.

“Hey, hehehey! Ihi’m gonna spihihill!”

It was a bit late for that, as a small splash of the golden liquid was already shining against her wood floor. She didn’t care—a mop would take care of that, and retaliating against Robert’s snark was definitely worth it.
