Ava Cadavra

Ava Cadavra is a Sim in The Sims 2 for Nintendo DS. Ex-drummer for the band The Germinators with Vera Vex, Ava now spends most of her time brooding.

The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS)
Ava first appears in Strangetown in search of "history." She demands to stay in the Penthouse and is the second antagonist in the game. She commands the player's Sim to build a cave where she tricks people into worshiping a statue of the Prime Heifer. She also demands the player's Sim to get her a mystic cowbell and a tube of "rotting eggplant" lipstick. She tries to bring the Prime Heifer into the physical world, but, after listening to Horus Menhoset IX, the player's Sim destroys the statue, which causes Ava to furiously leave the hotel and set the Penthouse on fire.

Other appearances
Ava's sprite character first made her appearance in the handheld version of The Urbz: Sims in the City. She serves as a cashier for Phoebe Twiddle's shop. However, unlike her appearance in The Sims 2, she has short purple hair, and is wearing a white tank top instead of a black coat. It was not until the DS version of The Sims 2 that she became a Sim character that the player can interact with.

Trivia
Like her boss in the urbz, Phoebe, both of their debut appearances were shop keepers and had no role in the game. Phoebe first appeared in The Sims Bustin Out portable as a cashier for the Brick O Brack shop, and later appeared as a full character in The Urbz. Same as Ava, she debuted in The Urbz Portable as a shop keeper, but as a full character in its sequel, The Sims 2 DS.

Etymology
Ava Cadavra is possibly based on the Aramaic עַבְדָא כְּדַברָא, avda kedavra, meaning "what was said has been done." This phrase is also the origin of abracadabra.
