Summer the Mermaid
Summer is the leader of the Isles of Fandom and the proud face of PopCult Anime Con! She’s a marine biologist, anime fan, cosplay model, and a wheelchair user. From starfish to the vast night sky, she loves the shape of stars and has made it her motif. Rumor has it, if you take a late night walk on the beach over PopCult Anime Con weekend, you just might encounter a mermaid in the water who looks just like Summer!
Super Guard
Super G is lifeguard of Fandom Beach and Summer’s best friend. He’s a star athlete, competitive gamer, merch collector, and human rights activist. Voted the Isles of Fandom’s Biggest Nerd for five years running, he prefers to wear geek apparel on the daily. On PopCult Anime Con weekend, you’ll find Super G and his fellow lifeguard crew ready to chat fandom and help keep the peace from their table stations!
Segall the Seagull
Segall is the Scourge of the Isles of Fandom, the Terror of PopCult Anime Con… and Summer’s cuddly pet seagull so please don’t tell her about those other things! He likes stealing food, “borrowing” accessories, photobombing cosplayers, and picking up lost registration badges. If you’re experiencing some drama at PopCult Anime Con, look up – the culprit might just be sneaky Segall!
Squishy the Jellyfish
Squishy the Jellyfish is a small business owner and professional mixologist at the PopCult Beach Bar! She’s a major foodie, talented artist, lover of fanfiction, and proudly sapphic. With a heart as big as the ocean she lives for helping out fellow Islanders, especially her beloved Summer-senpai. On PopCult Anime Con weekend there’s no wilder party than Squishy’s, where the music’s always banging and the refreshments are delicious!
Prince Wacky of the Vinyl Isles
Wacky mysteriously floated to the Isle of Fandom and was pulled out of the water by Super G. After going on an Isekai adventure, it came to light that our inflatable flailing tubefriend was actually a Prince of the Vinyl Isle chased away by their power-hungry younger brother! Wacky prefers dancing, meeting new people, retro media and hanging out in ball pits too much to be a proper leader, but they are trying.
Exie the Exhibitor
Exie the Exhibitor is a plush squid brought to life by the power of kawaii artists on too little sleep!!! The road to a successful mercantile career may be tough for this ex-squid but beneath their quiet ex-terior burns a passionate determination. That’s right, Exie has a dream to bring happiness to the people of the Isles with specialty curated products in ex-change for hard cash! Dream big little plushie!
