The legend of Dark Pudding

I know a lot of interesting people. One of them is Dark Pudding. Nobody really knows anything about this reclusive urban legend. By day she disappears into the churning ocean of corporate life to probably earn out a living which lets her afford the basic necessities of human life like Happy Meals and Hermes bags. But, by night, this mild-mannered caffeine addict transforms into Dark Pudding, a fearlessly insane antihero who thrives off insane pulse-pounding stunts, extracts joy from pickpocketing sex offenders, terrifying transgender mafia thugs and works towards global domination with the help of beings from her home planet. Dark Pudding has been implicated in several high profile crimes such as defacing the websites which promote abstinence and dropping used condoms over the houses of conservative politicians. She is rumoured to have superpowers including profound psychopathic tendencies and the ability to bench press trucks. As if this wasn’t intimidating enough, Ms Pudding moonlights as a writer during her spare time, if she isn’t too busy sketching, coding, practising classical ballet, watching anime, engaging in extreme sports, globe-trotting, curing cancer, ballroom dancing, nude modelling or painting her Game of Thrones colouring book with the blood of her enemies. We run into each other during my occasional evening strolls. She likes to recklessly zip around the city in her motorbike howling with laughter while terrorising the masses searching for her boyfriend, the devil. Watch out, she could be right behind you!
