| ~ The Condesce. |
| “ | Instead of storming off to the moon in a huff, Peixes em8raced her role as an heiress. Once she reached the age to challenge the empress, she killed her predecessor easily. She did more to sink our race into perpetual darkness and violence than any empress before her, and her rule lasted the longest 8y far. She conquered thousands of planets and star systems, many of them personally. She was responsi8le for the death of trillions. | „ |
| ~ Aranea Serket talking about the Condesce. |
Her Imperious Condescension, better known as the Condesce, is the secondary antagonist of the Homestuck franchise. She's the former empress of Alternia, the ancestor of Feferi Peixes, the post-scratch version of Meenah Peixes, the founder and CEO of Crockercorp and the (unwilling) servant of Lord English.
Roles[]
She serves as one of the two secondary antagonists of the webcomic Homestuck (alongside Doc Scratch), serving as an overarching antagonist in Acts 1-4, an overarching antagonist in Act 5 and the secondary antagonist of Act 6.
She also serves as one of the three overarching antagonists (alongside Doc Scratch and Lord English) of the web original story The Homestuck Epilogues and of its sequel Homestuck^2: Beyond Canon.
She also serves as one of the two overarching antagonists (alongside Lord English) of the visual novel Hiveswap Friendsim, a minor antagonist in its sequel Pesterquest and the main protagonist of the History files of the website Skaianet Systems Incorporated.
Personality[]
The Condesce, despite being portrayed as a heartless tyrant, has a surprisingly laxed personality from what's been shown. She seems comparable to her Pre-Scratch self Meenah Peixes, always using slang and has a terrible attitude. Despite this, she is extremely cruel, exterminating the entire human race simply because they weren't biologically compatible with her own. According the Draconian Dignitary, she actually enjoys baking, implying she really did start Betty Crocker as a genuine baking company.
Appearance[]
She takes the appearance of a female troll with very long hair and a black suit. She has pointy horns that go straight up and are very long. She also has a very long trident which is a similar trident to Feferi's. Her trident seems to have some fuschia rope tied around it, which resembles her own blood color. Her large black suit has a long Zodiac symbol that is the symbol for the Zodiac known as Pisces. Likewise Feferi Peixes and Meenah Peixes also have a Pisces symbol as their Zodiacs.

Biography[]
Act 5 Act 2[]
The Condesce is mentioned by Doc Scratch Act 5 Act 2, when he tells the reader (and the Handmaid) about the story of the Sufferer (Karkat's ancestor). The Sufferer was a troll who had started a rebellion after remembering fragments of what happened to him in the previous session. She is mentioned to have captured him, and then tortured him to death. Part of this torture involved pressing a hot iron with the Cancer symbol in his chest. She also puts the Psiionic (one of the Sufferer's friends and Sollux's ancestor) in her battleship to be used as a living battery whose lifespan was extended until the Condesce's death.
Later on she appears on Alternia, where she meets the Handmaid, who she challenges to a duel. Eventually she killed the Handmaid in an act that is, according to Scratch, both punishment and reward. The punishment and reward for The Handmaid is her death, which Lord English didn't allow her to do until she finished her task, whilst the reward for the Condesce is immortality from Lord English, with as punishment eternal slavery to him. Further information is witheld from the reader, as Hussie assaults Scratch later on. The story is later told to be "Troll Fanfiction".

Powers and Abilities[]
As a fuchsia blooded troll the Condesce has an incredibly long lifespan, superhuman strength, speed and durability, and an immunity against telepathic attacks. She is proficient in using a double ended trident (2x3dent), enough so to effortlessly kill a god tier player. She can extend other people's lifespans. Her gold tiara gives her access to several other troll's powers, including control over animals (including nigh omnipotent First Guardians), telekinetic powers strong enough to move planets and the ability to shoot psychic eye lasers that can vaporize an entire moon.

Trivia[]
- The troll writing on her battleship says "Battleship Condescension", which has the same initials as "Betty Crocker".
- Nannasprite referred to Betty Crocker as "The Baroness", which matches the other eight-letter titles of the ancestors.
- Dirk later on Sburb Logo also referred the Condesce as the Baroness.
- Mindfang and the Draconian Dignitary both call her a witch. Feferi's mythological role is the Witch of Life, while Betty Crocker is also commonly referred to in-universe as the "Batterwitch".
- The Condesce seems to have some sort of connection with the Witch class; as she has had some kind of relationship with every known Witch player. Damara's post-scratch self, the Handmaid, was killed by the Condesce, Jade was under her control for a short time up until her death, and her descendant and Heiress, Feferi, was the Witch of Life.
- "Glorious Monarch" is a title of the Black Queen (whom the Condesce replaced), which so happens to start with the same letters as "General Mills".
- While communicating, the Condesce speaks similarly to Meenah. This could possibly mean that all post-scratch ancestors talked like their pre-scratch selves (as Aranea and Mindfang do, and Jane and Nanna do, more or less) or is just coincidence with the Condesce.
- It is shown that the mind-controlled Jane and Jade, while still acting with the best interests of the Condesce in mind, are more than just puppets for her and have at least some measure of autonomy.
