Alright, that gives us a good bit of freedom. Still not sure about how to make a personality without any background knowledge.

But Draco in Leather Pants requires the villain to have a redeeming quality of some sort.

No. It doesn't. That just makes it easier.

Alright, then. Two questions:
1. What kind of environment were we raised in? A pampered tomboy is improbable, and a girly girl living in a slum or as a cinder-maid even less so.
2. Alright, I might have been unclear, but...are the wishes granted by the Bizarre Slime more on the "What I wanted," "What I said," or "The worst way to interpret the wish" side of the scale?

1. Well, I'll get to that once character creation is done. Don't wanna spoil it.
2. Theres this ritual you have to do. The more slime you have, the better the things you can make with it.
Slime can only synthesize deconstruct, or reconstruct matter, as in, it can only make or destroy things.

1. I'm supposed to make a personality without understanding anything about where the character grew up?

2. Alright, you don't seem to be understanding this question any way I put it, so I'll use an example to help.
Let's say a man wished for a ton of money from a genie.
A benevolent genie would make the man rich.
A literal genie would summon precisely 2,000 pounds (or possibly 1,000 kilograms) of currency, probably a mixture of bills and coins.
A jerkass genie would summon enough money to crush someone...right above your head.
Which one is the bizarre slime most like?

Having finished her second helping, Nuriel heads back to the buffet for more. An employee goes over to speak with her; Selina can just hear what they're saying.

_{"Miss, are you sure you are still hungry?"
"Yes. This is all-you-can-eat, right?"
"Well, yes, but I don't want you overstuffing yourself because your eyes were bigger than your tummy."
"I'm really hungry today."
"Miss, you've already had more than many of our grown-up patrons eat."
"And I'm still hungry! Are you going to let me get more or not?"
"...I suppose, if you are that desperate to get more food."}

Alright, then. Two questions:

1. What kind of environment were we raised in? A pampered tomboy is improbable, and a girly girl living in a slum or as a cinder-maid even less so.

Personality...lots of possibilities.

Are we just coming out of the cauldron full-grown? Child-sized, and if so how much later are we starting? Did the cauldron cough up an infant?

Are bizzare slimes more of the literal, cruel, or kind variety of wish-givers?

Oh.

Well then. I hate you, dice.

Use illusions to turn invisible. Use light control to make shadows around myself and the gun, using illusions to conceal both, then teleport to the gun before shooting mastah.

Also make a polite request to the GM that Angel be granted several syringes to let her catch up to the syringe-abusers and help make up for her starting disadvantages, ie the fact that she has the toughness and upper body strength of a five-year-old girl for some reason.

Hm...to Seventh Sanctum!

This lonely girl has large red eyes. Her silky, straight, short hair is the color of ripe tangerines, and is worn in a simple style. She is very tall and has a wasp-waisted build. Her skin is ruddy. She has a low forehead and a small mouth. Her wardrobe is severe and no-nonsense, with a completely blue and red color scheme.
