Aunt Arctic

Aunt Arctic, also known by her EPF codename, The Director, is the news reporter and editor-in-chief for the newspaper on Club Penguin Island, named the Penguin Times. She is also the Director of the EPF, making her one of the most important penguins on the island. She is responsible for keeping all Penguins around the Island informed about the weekly news, and to protect the island from any dangerous threats, such as Herbert P. Bear, with the Elite Penguin Force. She is such a skillful writer that she even has her own advice column, "Ask Aunt Arctic", where she makes it her duty to answer any troubling questions her fellow penguins might have. Any penguin can submit his or her question to Aunt Arctic for a chance at submission. She is a key character in Mission #1, in which she had lost her green and purple puffles that needed to be returned. She owned a Purple Puffle before they were available in the Pet Shop and available to penguins. She did not appear on the island until the Penguin Play Awards.



Penguin Times column
Since she first appeared, she had a column in the Penguin Times, answering questions by players. She also used this medium to express her personal opinions and her background. There are many interesting things she has stated while answering questions:
 * Aunt Arctic's favorite season is winter.
 * Aunt Arctic stated her igloo is very messy, but during Mission 1, it is very tidy.
 * Aunt Arctic has asserted that an official Uncle Arctic does not exist.
 * Aunt Arctic stated in a Penguin Times issue telling everybody to say "Grub!" at the Penguin Play Awards 2009. She later revealed this as an April Fool's prank.
 * Aunt Arctic's favorite parties are the Winter Fiesta 2007 and Fall Fair 2007.
 * Aunt Arctic organized the Easter Scavenger Hunt 2007.

Elite Penguin Force
Aunt Arctic is the Director of the EPF. After keeping her secret identity hidden for so long, she finally reveals it once you complete all 6 steps of Operation: Blackout.

In the past, it was believed that many other penguins, such as Unknown Band member and Rory were the Director. This has finally been proven false after Operation: Blackout.

The Director has worked for many agencies such as Penguin Secret Agency, Elite Penguin Force and Elite Penguin Force Resistance. The EPF Resistance is a new agency which has been opened due to Herbert destroying the EPF Command during Operation: Blackout.

The Director has also been involved in missions such as Operation: Hibernation, Operation: Spy & Seek, Operation: Blackout, Battle of Doom and many more.

Appearances as the Director

 * The Director is seen on the EPF monitor several times in mission briefings, including Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force and the DS sequel, but she is also censored on the monitor.
 * The Director appears in the beginning of Mission 10 on a computer screen that pops out of the desk.
 * The Director appeared in an explicit interview in the Club Penguin Times on the 15th of January 2011, after the EPF was confirmed to be real to the public in another article which may appear to be Herbert P. Bear. Strangely, the interview was not direct and took place in the Dance Lounge.
 * The Director sends messages to all EPF agents every once in awhile, when she does look carefully at the image of her it appears she is holding a puffle. It is unknown what type it is.
 * Penguins say that in the final level of System Defender her real identity will be revealed. This is false, because the final System Defender level is a battle against Herbert, and secretly tracking his location. The Director does make an appearance, giving orders.
 * If you type in "Director" on the new buddy list it will say "That information is highly classified try searching someone else."
 * During System Defender on one level, she would say, "Let this be our finest hour". This is what the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, said during World War II.
 * There is a picture of The Director in one of the Logoff Screens. The picture says Top Secret.
 * The Director was on Herberts capture list for Operation: Blackout.
 * Some people thought she was going to be a mascot for Operation: Blackout. This was semi-true. You can see her in a Containment Cell in the Central Command Room, but she does not walk around and talk. However, the Director is a mascot, because Aunt Arctic is meetable.

Speculation
Many players speculated there was an Uncle Arctic. Since the popularity boost, Club Penguin appeased the believers with images hinting the possibility.

Aunt Arctic was also rumored to possibly be the Director of the P.S.A. because she has made many comments about the PSA in her Penguin Times column, and she was at the Night Club in a costume at the Halloween Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force Mission. And if you roll your mouse over the glasses when you are on the "Ask Aunt Arctic" column in the Club Penguin Times, they will turn into secret agent-like shades. The Director's signature is actually a Greek symbol which stands for "AA". "AA" are also the initials of Aunt Arctic. It has also been speculated that in Morse Code, the Night Club's floor says: "Aunt Arctic is the director of the PSA." That may also apply to the EPF. In addition, they both do not have visible hair, they both have glasses and she has a very strong friendship with Gary. She is likely to be director. Also, in issue 348 of the Club Penguin Times, she said that she 'could be the leader of an elite squad of super penguins, protecting the island from evil. Also, if you type in Aunt then Arctic then is in the chat box it might say on the chat filter, "Aunt Arctic is the Director."

Her identity as the Director was proven true in the Operation: Blackout End Video, in which she reveals her identity to everyone.

The Director

 * In issue #310 of the Penguin Times, Aunt Arctic wrote "Ive got only one stamp left to earn in the System Defender game...".
 * As seen on her ring during the Marvel Superhero Takeover, she chose to be a superhero. This is somewhat odd because newspaper editors and reporters would likely be regular citizens. However, since she is the Director, she is somewhat a super hero.
 * In issue #348 of the Club Penguin Times, Aunt Arctic is asked if she is a super hero, in which she replies: "I suppose that might be possible. I could be the leader of an elite squad of super penguins, protecting the island from evil. I mean, anything's possible, right? Hahaha! Sorry, just having a little fun there. I am most definitely not a super hero. I don't have any special powers, I don't have a secret fortress, and I don't look good in capes. Though if I did have a secret identity, I probably wouldn't tell anyone. I'm pretty good at keeping secrets, too.", poking at the Director mystery.
 * According to the 2011-2012 yearbook, when scrolling over Dot, the Director side of her identity is most likely to remain anonymous.

 * In the book, Club Penguin Official Annual 2012, she says that it is always bad news when Herbert is up to no good, which means she knows about the EPF.

 * Herbert said that he knew the Director's identity and also revealed that the Director is a female.
 * On the blog it said about the 2012 Operation Blackout and said a rumor was said that you could find out who the Director is.
