The Umbra is the main antagonist of the Solar Eclipse Event in Tower Defense Simulator, a Roblox game created by Paradoxum Games. She was first introduced to the Tower Defense Simulator Community on October 18th, 2021. On December 12th, 2021, she was added to Tower Defense Simulator as part of Night IV of the Solar Eclipse Event, and could be fought against in Totality Tower. Being defeated by her or her army would result in the player loosing, but surviving up until the final wave and defeating her would result in her falling to the ground and disappearing with glitch particles surrounding her. Even though it can be presumed that she is dead, this is not very likely because it would later be stated that she could return on July 14th, 2022 as part of the Roblox Innovation Awards if Paradoxum Games won. However, they didn't win, leading her to not return.

However, on October 28th, 2023, she returned as part of the Lunar Overture Event. This event gave the community a complete backstory of how her life was before becoming a warlord, what she did before she fought the player in Totality Tower, and what happened afterward. Before becoming corrupted by The God Cube, she was a human who was being hunted down for being an alleged witch.

Personality[]

The Umbra has a very mean hearted personality. She seems to like teasing the player and being sweet towards them with a harsh tone. She also likes watching the player suffer and stress when fighting her army and is happy when they player looses. She tends to think that her enemies are pathetic and can easily be destroyed by her. Throughout fighting her army, she becomes more worried and angry when the players gets close to fighting her. When she is defeated, she becomes worried and sad. She then screams in defeat and disappears.

She may also have a very observant personality, too. Before fighting her in Totality Tower, she walks around the tower's upper decks, watching the player fight and stress over her army. At some points, she will even stop to observe and look around to see how well her army is doing.

Before all of this though, she was more of a scared, worried, and anxious woman, who was determined to fight back against her hunters but she never got the chance to. When she gains her powers, she becomes more confident and is able to fight back against those who tried to kill her. Good things don't last forever though, because she becomes corrupted with her powers, which led to her villain arc.

Appearance[]

In her human form, she has short brown hair with 2 buns. On her head, she has a purple headband that has a large red star on it, and 2 small yellow dots on each side of the red star. She has tan skin, and she wears a purple dress with a white robe underneath. Her eye color is black and she has two yellow triangles pointing downward below each eye. The sleeves of her robe are rolled up. Her purple dress extends to her ankles, and the dress splits in half past her waist. At her waist is a pink cloth that is wrapped around her abdomen, similar to a belt. When she gains her powers, her eyes go from black to a purple-yellow combination.

In her partially corrupted form, she now has long black hair with her buns being pigtails that fade into a tan color. Her pigtails have a golden ring at the end of each one. Her headband now has a larger red star on it, which is the same one she wears in her final form. Her right eye's color is now completely yellow, while her left eye is white, and the entire left of her face is now completely black. She now wears purple shoulder pads and a purple dress that is now laced with gold and is darker purple in the stomach area. She now wears purple arm plates that have golden rings around each one and a small hole surrounded by gold. She still has the pink cloth around her waist, but the bottom of her dress is now dark purple. It still splits into 2 sections, and each part of her dress is surrounded by gold on the outside.

In her final form, her skin is pitch black with glowing-yellow eyes. She has long black pigtails that fade into brown. At the end of her pigtails, she has golden rings. On her head, she has a purple headband with a red star embedded into it. She is also wearing yellow protrusions in the shape of spikes that look similar to elf ears. She has a purple chest plate with golden bearings, purple shoulder pads, and a massive black orb in the middle of it. Behind her back, she has a massive golden peach bow. She has armor on her arms with black horn-like protrusions that curve back into the armor. She also has purple padding on her legs with black orbs on each leg and brown boots.

Biography[]

She had started as a witch who had been hunted down by witch hunters. She and Penumbras were in a village when they started to be chased by Knights. Penumbras told her to run away as he could buy her some time, but she refused as she wanted to help. A knight had ambushed them though, and Penumbras pushed her to go. She ran outside of the village and then into a field. She continued to run until she made it into a forest when she fell to the ground. She looked up to see a giant, glowing, purple cube, which is known as The God Cube. She got closer to it, but it caused her to fall to the ground due to its power. She got even closer, however, and she touched it which caused her to be electrocuted as she screamed in pain.

Sometime after, she had woken up, with her eye color now changed and voice slightly warped, to see The God Cube a fainted purple. She walked to the outskirts of the forest where she had run into it. She ran back to the village to save Penumbras as she could hear his screams in the distance. When she got there, she saw him tied to a wooden pull with a rope. It was soon found out that the one who had done this was the Executioner. In an unshown battle, she ends up killing the Executioner. She then saves Penumbras by untying him from the pole he was put on. She explains to him that she doesn't know how she got her newfound powers, but she believes that she can now use her powers to protect them both from those who want to kill them.

Later on, when she becomes fully corrupted, she hires Jack O' Bot to try and kill the players in Nightmare Carnival. The plan ends up failing because Jack O' Bot ends up getting destroyed.

Finally, in Totality Tower, she had the intent of destroying the entire world with the dark sun. After the players fight through all the waves of her various soldiers, she ends up fighting the player herself. She ends up losing though, and she then starts glitching and she disappears forever.

Trivia[]

  • The voice actor for The Umbra is BethyVA.

  • Mimic Umbra can be seen being shot by Scout as a joke in the short video: here.
• In a short video, you can see The Umbra playing chess with Scout, but she ends up loosing to signify her loosing after the Solar Eclipse Event ended.
