Aisha’s Rise Through the Army World
Aisha first became involved in the community in 2017 through Club Penguin Rewritten. The Rebel Penguin Federation was her first army experience. After joining the Dark Bandits, Aisha moved on to the Doritos, and, after some time, decided to take a break from army activity. Later on, she would join Animal Kingdom to have a comedic lead, meant for pure enjoyment. Then she moved on to the Romans and the Underground Mafia Army before retiring again. Afterwards, she rejoined the community at the request of Pandor to help out Special Weapons and Tactics.
Aisha’s next big event happened in July 2024, when she joined the Secret Service. Initially, she turned down the offer, but then she eventually thought about it after being strongly persuaded. After having 32op approach her, Aisha decided to try it. The Secret Service leadership quickly recognized Aisha’s skills and potential, quickly leading her to go from Second-in-Command to Leader.

Leading the Doritos
During her time serving as leader of the Doritos of Club Penguin, Aisha was a critical figure who helped the army through many events and tournaments. Aisha will also be remembered as the DCP leader in the Christmas Chaos XIV tournament in late 2024. DCP performed exceptionally well during the tournament and had impressive battles, such as against the Army of Club Penguin and The Bastille Vanguard.
Aside from tournament involvement, Aisha involved herself with DCP’s alliances. On November 7, 2024, Doritos announced alliances with The Bastille Vanguard, Special Weapons and Tactics, and the Templars as the first allies of this new generation. This was just one part of the plan to reinforce DCP’s place in the community.
After a long journey through her army career, Aisha officially retired from the Doritos of Club Penguin on May 17. In her post, Aisha thanked the community and reflected on her army career. She organized a retirement event for herself on that date and invited everyone to come. The Doritos managed to assemble an impressive number of 92 troops for the event.

Just after her retirement event on May 17, long-time Doritos icon 32op formally recognized Aisha’s impact and contributions to the community with the honorary designation of Doritos Legend. This award reflects not just her achievements during a long leadership career, but years of volunteerism and commitment to the community.
Aisha becomes DCP Legend
Club Penguin Armies reached out to Aisha for an exclusive interview regarding her retirement.
What inspired you to take on the role of Doritos leader, and how would you describe your time leading them?
Well the main inspiration was the fact that I am former DCP, and the fact that DCP always brought a unique energy to the army scene, and I wanted to see that return. It took a lot of persuading to actually make the revival happen, and I wasn’t necessarily sure I was going to be leader when it went ahead, but I’m glad I was.
My time leading the Doritos since the revival was amazing and I have no regrets in pushing for the return of DCP. Some people made me realise that I actually can become a great leader, especially 32op, and the support of all the people at my retirement was also sweet to see.
What were some of the most challenging moments you faced as a leader, and how did you overcome them?
Some of the challenging moments I faced as a leader, was balancing leadership responsibilities with my personal life, particularly my studies. It gets to a point at times, and it makes you realise is it fair to continue being leader if you can’t put as much time to the army as you wished? Being the leader means you are constantly guiding your team and constantly looking for ways to improve. It can get heavy, but the results are definitely rewarding.

On the flip side, what are you most proud of accomplishing during your leadership of DCP?
Honestly, there’s a couple, but my main favourites were how well we performed in battles and working on our weaknesses and watching them become our strengths. Another one I’d say is the positive recognition from actual DCP members who talk about what I’ve done in the DCP community and point out how I’ve helped them. At the end of my retirement event, many troops and former members shared sweet memories and it was nice to look back on and it made me feel very accomplished with having such a positive impact on the DCP family that I won’t ever forget.
Finally, what message would you like to leave behind for the Doritos and the wider army community?
To the Doritos and the army community: DCP has often been criticised for its past or because retired members. If we judged every army solely based on this, none would be free of fault. People can be selective with their opinions and won’t even know the whole picture. With all revival leaders now being retired, this is officially a new era. I have confidence in the current team and the potential they have. They have my forever support, and I see many future leaders within the DCP community. I do have a bit more to say, but that will be in a post coming soon!! BANG BANG DORITOS GANG
As Aisha prepares to take her last bow from the Doritos leadership, there is no denying that she has had an immense impact on the army community. Starting her journey with RPF and becoming the leader of one of the most distinguished and iconic armies in the CPPS era, Aisha’s run showcases years of commitment, growth, and leadership. Aisha’s departure, of course, will mark the end of an era for DCP, however, it will allow new faces to step into the community to mold its future. How do you see Aisha’s legacy existing within Doritos and the wider community?
