The Condesce

The Condesce, also known as Her Imperious Condescension and by her human alias Elizabeth "Betty" Crocker, is the one of the main antagonists of the New Planet, New Life series, and is perhaps the one catalyst of all the events in the series.

1920s
Disguised as a human, the Condesce arrived on Earth in November 1921 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and christened herself Elizabeth Crocker. Within weeks, she was employed as a writer for a baking column in The Minneapolis Tribune, and acquired the nickname "Betty" Crocker from her employer. This officially began "Phase 1" of her plan to take over Earth.

From there, Elizabeth went from writing a simple baking column to hosting a cooking show on a local radio station, and had even written a cookbook. Despite the Stock Market Crash of 1929, she had found her numerous baking tips to be extremely profitable. Due to her newfound status as a local celebrity of sorts, she employed her "favorite" advisor in the Alternian Imperial Court, Zenith Skalar, as her assistant under the pseudonym Edith Schuyler.

1930s
As time went on, the Betty Crocker brand was officially established, and Elizabeth naturally headed the company. The Great Depression had caused some setback in the decade's sales, but overall her products and company had done quite well and had become a staple of American cooking culture.

Courtship and Marriage
In the spring of 1935, Elizabeth had a chance encounter with one Charles Smith.
