Courtney Van Ness

Courtney, a character in the Bachelorette Party book, is one of Main Character's best friends from college. She is first seen in Chapter 1.

Appearance
Courtney has gray eyes, long wavy blonde hair, and fair skin.

Personality
Courtney is bubbly, outgoing, and flirty. She appears to be adventurous as there may be nothing she cannot be dared into doing, and she has no problems throwing out suggestions (especially of an intimate nature) if that is the way to get things done or gain an advantage. She also appears to be easy to manipulate or hypnotize.

If you decide to purchase the premium Panda Princess outfits in Chapter 8, her choice of costume mirrors her personality: the Princess Party Girl Panda. She says she is everyone's type as proven by the Spring Fling War back in junior year of college, where she went home with 492 phone numbers that day.

Main Character
Main Character and Courtney are close friends from college. After Main Character finds out Kyle was cheating, Courtney invites Main Character to Diana's bachelorette party in Las Vegas for a mini-reunion with all their friends. At Mario Bautista's magic show, when she tries to signal Main Character with her eyes, Main Character can interpret her eye-language better than anyone. Main Character can also encourage her to live her fantasies or try to calm her down. In Chapter 15, she asks Main Character to be her Maid of Honor when she marries Mario Bautista.

Diana
Courtney and Diana are friends but have opposing personalities: Courtney wants to party and go all out, while Diana initially wants to do something calmer, like going to a restaurant and watching a show. Courtney chooses Las Vegas as the setting for Diana's bachelorette party because Courtney likes alcohol, sequins, and bodybuilders in thongs, not because she likes gambling.

Aisha
Courtney and Aisha are friends from college too.

Mario Bautista
In Chapter 3, when Courtney and the girls follow a lead on the stripper to Club Elevate, she immediately becomes enamored by Mario who is performing there. Courtney has the premium option of spending time alone with him. Whether she becomes intimate or not with Mario doesn't affect his feelings towards her. Mario is still attracted to her and wants to pursue her if she will allow it.

In Chapter 10, when she and the girls are kidnapped by the Norwegian mob, Courtney asks Mario to help them escape. Through a series of magical illusions and tricks, he is able to whisk the girls out of the mob's compound via coffins with hidden compartments. He believes he is driving them to safety but doesn't realize the hitch on his trailer has separated, stranding the girls in the desert with his equipment.

In Chapter 15, he proposes to Courtney and they get married in the same chapter. In Courtney's ending, he visits Courtney's parents with her and introduces himself as Courtney's husband. He then uses magic to invite them to a magic show where Courtney is now his assistant.

Fifi the Friendship Fox
In Chapter 11, Courtney hallucinates a friendship with a fox she calls "Fifi the Friendship Fox". In Chapter 13, if Main Character decides to explore the ghost town with her friends, Courtney has their friends follow Fifi and proceeds to have a conversation with the fox. Courtney has an epiphany that she does have "improper fiscal attitudes due to the excesses of [her] parents", but her friends love her for herself, not for her money.
