Apprehensivve

they said the forests were beautiful and harmless.— Game Description for apprehensivve's game, "a walk through the trees"

Biography

Bella is an individual believed to have infected by an undiscovered parasite after coming across a bunch of purple flowers while exploring a forest.^[1] This parasite brought misfortune onto apprehensivve, as their mental state was seemingly degraded to a constant apprehensive feeling.^[2] Bella also developed a supernatural connection or control towards the flowers and plant life which the parasite derived from, however, they lost control of themself with this.^[2] This parasite possibly began influencing Bella's behavior to a point where they began committing homicide against people.^[3] Somewhere in the mix of that, apprehensivve was admitted into a research facility named, "Redwood Facility".^[4] This place was seemingly aware of the parasite and were seeking to monitor Bella,^[5] but it is unknown if they brought about any result. There remains much uncertainty regarding apprehensivve's outcome due to an unknown order with their games. They may either be under the supervision of the "Redwood Facility", they may be still murdering while under complete control of the parasite,^[3] or even dead after being consumed by the parasite.^[6]

History

Apprehensivve created their account on March 18th, 2019, with their first game, "layered", being made the same day. Their activity following this is relatively unknown, especially in terms of interactions with myth hunters. This includes when apprehensivve was first discovered by hunters. However, the first known mention of apprehensivve by myth hunters was only a few months after the account's creation on June 24th, 2019.^[7]

What is known about apprehensivve's activity is many of their game creations and last updates, according to Roblox. "Null" was the second game that apprehensivve had made, with the creation date being April 24th, 2019. This was also the last time it was updated. Another game wasn't created until September 2nd, 2019. This game was "a walk through the trees", and it was never updated following its creation. Then in April 2020, apprehensivve joined the Robloxian Myth Hunters Discord server and showcased images of their upcoming game, "left it to me".^[8] It was not updated after its creation as well. A few weeks later, apprehensivve began showcasing their final game, "moss city".^[9] This game was actually last updated on May 8th, 2020.

Again, there have been no discovered records of apprehensivve's interactions with hunters from 2019-2020. However, in 2021 a small group of myth hunters based around Robloxian Myth Hunters conducted a notable investigation on apprehensivve. The two notable hunters who participated in this were UnfortunateRake and Mr_OOFAlot.^[10] Most records of the investigation have been lost, but there are testimonies for some details about apprehensivve. An unfinished RMH report was recovered which briefly provides insight on apprehensivve's activity in 2020 and 2021.^[11] Throughout the later half of 2020, apprehensivve was inactive, until the beginning of 2021. On January 7th, 2021, apprehensivve was active on Roblox again, to which the hunters reached out in hopes of an interaction.^[11] This resulted in a discovery of a hidden area in the "a walk through the trees" game.^[10] Unfortunately, there was no recording of this interaction. Afterwards, apprehensivve most likely went continuously inactive, only periodically becoming active for a brief moment.^[10]

Appearance

Apprehensivve’s current avatar consists of the "Lavender Updo Hair", a "Scarf" t-shirt, a "Full Body Flower Tattoo", "Purple Fur" pants, the "Corrupt Aura" accessory, the "Flower Snack Purple" face accessory, "Flower Freckles", and the "Freckles" face. Besides this appearance, there are two previous avatars that are known. The first was a similar look to the current appearance that was used likely from 2021-2023. This version did not have any of the flowers on their face nor the "Corrupt Aura" accessory. The first record of the current appearance was in March 2023, according to a post about apprehensivve's profile in the RMH Discord server.^[12]

The other version is actually not certainly apprehensivve, but it is believed that it is. This is because it can be found through one of SP0TSI's games, who is apprehensivve's most notable friend.^[13] Due to the game being created on August 31st, 2018, and it last being updated a day later, this version of apprehensivve's avatar dates back to at least August, 2018.^[14] The outfit consisted of the same purple hair and face, but she had different clothing and accessories. The accessories were a teddy bear on their shoulder and what looks like a miner's helmet, while the clothes looked like basic fabric items.^[13]

Personality and Traits

Considering there are no known records of interaction with apprehensivve, it is difficult to describe their personality and behavior. Though, they may have a split personality disorder. One personality may have been friendly towards others, taking their approachable appearance into account. However, this may have been used to deceive people so that their other personality, the homicidal side of them caused by the parasite, could then kill individuals.^[3] The motive for why the parasite promotes a homicidal behavior is uncertain.

There are also all of the adjectives on apprehensivve's profile, and adjectives used as codes throughout their games. These likely are ways to describe how they feel with words like "frighted", "empty", "fractured", and especially "apprehensive". Besides this, a description of their behavior was written by a "Redwood Facility", which said, "Talks/laughs randomly, crying".^[4]

Abilities

The specifics as to how Bella's supernatural abilities work is uncertain, but it is quite clear they have a connection with nature, specifically with the purple lotus area found within "a walk through the trees".^[15] This parasite either gave them the ability to spread and accelerate the growth of nature, or just connected them to it mentally.

Games

layered

"Layered" spans across multiple sub-places that introduce apprehensivve and their dangerous behavior. Although "layered" has a similar amount of recognition to Bella's other games, the sub-games are much more popular. Puzzles involving hidden codes makeup much of the gameplay besides the basic exploration. Many notes and pieces of writing can also be discovered which convey crucial background details about apprehensivve. Walkthrough warning, please attempt to hunt before viewing, click "Show More" to view.

When the player enters the game, they are found to be in what seems to be apprehensivve’s house. There is initially nothing abnormal about what can be viewed and explored within the main rooms of the house. That is until the player comes across three rooms, with the third being locked. Within the first room is the branch of a tree with purple flowers growing along the wall through a window. This is believed to be apprehensivve's room. If the player looks through the drawers of the bedside table, they may come across the word "abashed". This can be said in the chat system to unlock the locked door, which reveals access to an apparent basement. Once the player goes through the hatch, they will be presented with a hallway with four separate rooms. The first room on the left has a computer displaying odd scripts. The word, "expanded." can be found from this text, and it will be utilized eventually. The second door on the left is locked as well, so a code must be found. The player should enter the second room on the right side and look behind the shelves and crates. A clipboard with the definition; “Showing or suffering from nervousness, fear, or a lack of confidence” describes the word, “timorous”. This shall open the locked door and reveal even more steps, almost as if the player were inside a facility.

This will lead the player to an actual basement rather than a bunker. Another locked door lays ahead, but this time, it has two jigsaw pieces outlined above it. This is conveying that two pieces must be found elsewhere. The first is located behind the sofa near the entrance of the house, and it has "tured" written on it. The next piece can be found behind the crates of the first right room in the bunker-like area. This has "frac" on it, meaning that the word needed is "fractured". An elevator will then be revealed to which the player can use. This will bring them to an area marked with a sign saying, "250 Miles Below Surface". Beside the sign is text that states: "have you truly found everything?". If they continue down the hallway, they will find a completely pale corpse hanging from a noose. Apprehensivve can be seen watching from a dark corner. This is believed to be all that can be discovered from this area of the game.

If the player returns to the basement area made of planks, they may be able to spot an outline of a hidden door on the wall. Using the word "expanded." from earlier, the door can be opened. Past this is an extremely small maze with only two things to be found. The first is a spot of blood with some binary code being above it. However, this can simply be decoded to a message about wasting the player's time. The other thing to find is a dark wall with a trail of blood leading to it. This acts as a teleport to another game named, "mentality connection".

mentality connection

"mentality connection" will be difficult for the player to navigate through due to fog and a lack of landmarks. Once the player spawns in the forest, they should immediately head to the left of spawn until they reach a wall. If they follow this, they will come across a hatch that acts as a teleport to a game named, "ancient cathedral". The walkthrough for that game continues later in this section. If the player continues to walk along the wall past the hatch, they may eventually come across what looks like a closed gateway in the wall. If the player says the word, "empty.", in the communication system, the gateway will open up. Inside should be a hallway Unfortunately, how this code is meant to be obtained is unknown. Back at the spawn in "mentality connection", if the player can head forward and slightly to the left, they may come across a trail of purple flowers leading to apprehensivve. They will be found leaning against a pile of rocks, surrounded by purple flowers, with a device playing static. It is uncertain whether this is meant to show their death.

Surprisingly, there is a detail with an unsolved purpose in this game. This refers to the twenty-seven tally marks carved into the trapdoor that goes to "ancient cathedral".^[16] Either this is just a small detail with no actual purpose, or it is refers to some lore or gameplay detail.

ancient cathedral

This game takes place inside what appears to be an almost abandoned sanctuary. Ahead of them is a statue and three different hallways from the one they spawned in. Before the player continues to the center, they should look behind the second pillar on the left in search of a cube. After this, they will need to uncover two more cubes. The next should be located in the left hallway from the center, and the final cube is in the hallway to the north. When all cubes are clicked, the door at the end of the hallway to the east shall open. This shall reveal stone mannequins, boxes, and text on the wall. Written on the wall is “Sweet Sounds, Sweet Noices, Sweet _e__d_,”. The missing letters are hidden around the cathedral, with “M" being on the leg of one of the stone people in the room, and “y” on the bottom of the statue. With these letters, the player can make up the word “Melody.” When said, it opens the second door, unlocking what seems like a church. On the stand, morse code is written in a book, and it translates to “Finally.” This may be utilized for the final door, opening a room filled with mutilated corpses. The phrase, “I swear it wasn't me!”, is written on the wall multiple times. This is believed to be all that can be found within "ancient cathedral".

null

"Null" is yet another short game created by apprehensivve that displays the progression of Bella's infection. It simply uses teleportation mechanics as well as basic exploration for gameplay progression. There is simply not much more content to this game besides this. For the player to progress in this game, they must head into the building ahead of their spawn position and climb flights of stairs. Once they reach the top, the may be teleported to a sub-place named, "unconscious". Here, the player can follow apprehensivve through the darkness until they are consumed by the flowers.

a walk through the trees

This game does not have much content as well, but it does have an extremely hidden secret that was seemingly first discovered by a small group of myth hunters in 2021.^[10] The two notable members who participated in this were UnfortunateRake and Mr_OOFAlot. The aforementioned hunters had contacted apprehensivve and interacted with them here, resulting in apprehensivve revealing the code.^[10] "A walk through the trees" is set within a dark forest with very little to explore. However, an additional room may be unlocked through a chat code mechanic, which reveals the relevance of the forest to apprehensivve. What exactly this area means to Bella is unknown, but it is theorized that this may be where she was infected.^[1] Walkthrough warning, please attempt to hunt before viewing, click "Show More" to view.

left it to me

Apprehensivve's second most popular game, "left it to me", takes place inside a sewer that appears to have been used as a cathedral. The game overall lacks content, so there are no conclusions on its relevance to apprehensivve besides it possibly being used for interaction with hunters. Although, there is a growth of vines and purple flowers about the game. This may mean that this was an area apprehensivve liked to visit. Due to minimal exploration, no utilization of mechanics are used.

moss city

"Moss city" is apprehensivve's newest game of the bunch, which takes place inside a sheltered cave with a city of small tree stump homes along with different colored mushrooms that glow. Oddly, this game is only known to be accessed though apprehensivve's inventory. The story details in this game contain an interaction between an interviewer and Bella, with the interviewer asking for her thoughts on her infection. She refused, which could possibly show her hesitation to even talk about it. Additionally, multiple theories have been formed on the basis of some of the rooms in the game. As for the mechanics within "Moss city", they only consist of basic exploration. Walkthrough warning, please attempt to hunt before viewing, click "Show More" to view.

Relationships

SP0TSI

SP0TSI is one of apprehensivve's few friends, but what makes them different from others is having their name mentioned on a headstone in "moss city".^[17] The headstone says, "SP0TSI's Updates", implying that SP0TSI no longer updates their games. This is likely a simple reference to the myth, so there may not be much more importance to their relationship. Interestingly, SP0TSI may reference apprehensivve in one of their games, similar to how apprehensivve referenced SP0TSI.^[13] Within "Down the rabbit's hole" by SP0TSI, multiple user avatars are placed around the cavern. One of these avatars is a girl with purple hair, a freckled face, and basic clothing, possibly meaning that this is an old appearance for Bella. Additionally, another game from SP0TSI, "Lacking", bears similar thumbnail style/look as apprehensivve's "layered".^[18] There are no known records of the two myths interacting with each other while hunters were present.

Theories

• Bella obtained an ability to spread and accelerate the growth of nature from the parasite, or just connected them to it mentally. With this also came negative effects on their mental state to a point where the parasite may have began controlling them.
  • There is an overgrowth of nature throughout many of the areas that apprehensivve can be seen in within their games. There especially are purple flowers constantly appearing with them. An example of this is tree branches growing through an open window into Bella's room in "layered".^[19]
    • A sub-place in "layered" is named, "mentality connection", and it features a forest of purple trees, purple fog, and purple flowers. Bella can also be seen here covered in the flowers.^[20] The name may refer to the flowers and nature being connected to them on a mental level.
  • Considering contracting the parasite appeared to be a tragic event,^[1] this may have caused Bella to feel "fractured" or "petrified" as indicated by their game codes and profile. Therefore, the parasite may have degraded their mental state to where they embodied the apprehensive feeling. As for the parasite controlling Bella, there are mutilated corpses that could be found within the "ancient cathedral".^[3] In this room is "I swear it wasn't me!" written on the wall. This shows that apprehensivve most likely murdered these people, but they weren't in control of themself.
• Apprehensivve may have been infected by the parasite at "A walk through the trees".
  • Within this game, there is a hidden area that has a statue dedicated to Bella with the message, "In every crevis and corner, I see eyes bleeding through me".^[3] This may indicate that whatever happened in this area was a terrible experience.
    • The environment of this area has an strong presence of purple along with the purple flowers. There are also mysterious eyes looking on from the darkness, therefore implying supernatural activities. Therefore, they may have gained their supernatural abilities from here as well, which came from a parasite.
  • The description for this game states, "they said the forests we're beautiful and harmless". This once again indicates that they were put into danger at this place.

• The leaking hourglass within "moss city" represents the slow destruction of apprehensivve's identity as the infection accelerates, and the flooding represents the future for the world surrounding apprehensivve.
  • Considering Bella refuses to discuss their infection in this game, it likely means it progressively becomes worse.^[5] This actually advances so much to where they may have created an entire forest with the infection, while also murdering people as seen in "mentality connection". Therefore, perhaps the hourglass represents apprehensivve slowly losing control of themselves. The water leaking from the bottom of the hourglass could be their sanity leaving their mind, while the top half of the hourglass, the infection, drips into the bottom half and replaces the lost water.^[21]
    • The library flooding may represent the outcome of the world around apprehensivve in the scenario she keeps losing her control.
    • Perhaps the books represent all of the people and things in Bella's life because of there being three books floating in the water, and there being three graves inside another part of the cavern. Since three things have already been buried, a book for each will float in the water.
• Within "moss city", there is only a single moss house inside the tree. This may represent apprehensivve isolating themselves as they lost control of themself.
  • The purple flowers that are constantly associated with Bella appear in this are near the lonely house.^[22] These don't appear elsewhere in "moss city". Since this house is isolated from the rest of the city, it may show Bella had to be isolated from others because of the parasite.
  • Additionally, apprehensivve may have been isolated after being admitted into the "Redwood Facility".^[4] This is especially possible considering the presence of a note from an interview in "moss city".^[5] The interview is between Bella and an interviewer asking them about their parasite. Since the "Redwood Facility" is researching Bella's condition, the interviewer likely works for them.

Trivia

• Apprehensivve has a private game within their inventory named, "Our last farewell". It was scrapped but it would have contained information about apprehensivve killing her brother.^[10]
• Strangely, there are two rather small myth accounts that only has apprehensivve listed as a friend. Perhaps these accounts were once involved with apprehensivve's activities, but has gone undocumented. Their names are Normalett and Saraleene.
• Multiple myth following projects follow apprehensivve, with the most recognizable being GoodMyths, MythArchiver, and StrangeUnsolvedMyths. Some fellow myths follow her as well like D3tectiveBailey.
• Among the handful of badges from myth games that apprehensivve has, is a badge named, "Playground". This badge has been unobtainable for many years due to it coming from an old version of the myth, SEEKING. Therefore, this could be considered a "lost badge", and it could provide at least a little insight into the history of that myth.
