PERSONALITY
A selectively mute kit that tries her best to communicate through actions where words fail her. She's a gift giver, oftentimes endowing those she feels a kinship with with trinkets, food, flowers, and puzzles. She's extremely anxiety-prone and can easily assume she's ruined a relationship if another folk seems upset around her. She's competitive and prideful of her winnings, being a strong kit with a firey fighting spirit, and is willing to play dirty if it means getting out of a bad situation before anyone gets hurt.. She's a klutz and will cry if she breaks something. Relatively kind, but is unable to properly emote around most people, so she comes off as cold and foreboding.
Puzzle can be blunt and sarcastic in her speech when she does speak. She tells things as they are because that's what they're supposed to be. Instead of lying, usually, she just won't say or emote anything at all when the truth won't benefit her. She's a terrible liar if coerced. She doesn't like being cornered and will quickly become tense when she feels threatened. Her huge amounts of strength would make her much more dangerous to cross if she had the personality to back it up, but unless you try to hurt her physically, she's frustratingly willing to weather verbal and emotional abuse to hopefully preserve whatever good relationship she can manage with you. She's probably got a million sarcastic thoughts running in the back of her head though- a Puzzle with no filter would instantly send a victorian child to hell.
Not being able to speak to people makes her angry and it's something she's insecure about. While she's working on learning to handle her anxiety, it frustrates her that the process is so slow. One day she's going to stand up for herself, she promises. One day.

HISTORY
Puzzle became independent while the blood moon torched the sky in October. Most the kits her age were out celebrating the Haunted Hootenanny, but she couldn't find it in herself to do the same at first, preferring the quiet of the Den. Eventually with the encouragement of some of the Den Caretakers she went to learn and celebrate the holiday on her own. She didn't want to participate in any of the main events, sticking to the background and remaining unseen, but still had a lot of fun during the Hootenanny.
Soon afterwards the Den Caretakers took notice that Puzzle's anxiety didn't seem to just be normal kit shyness and brought her to a psychologist. Puzzle would find out that her crippling anxious reaction to attempting to communicate might be selective mutism. Upset about her situation and continued inability to communicate her feelings about it, Puzzle would storm out of the Tree and end up finding a confused and bloody traveler. While she was terrified into being stock still at first, after he attempted to scratch his phylakardia she was roused into action and would escort him back to the Den safely.

Interested in
- Stony
She likes Stony's rambling about geology, because its interesting and she doesn't have to talk. She doesn't consider Stony super close to her, but appreciates his presence all the same. Puzzle thinks Stony is very smart and seeks his counsel for a lot of the things she doesn't know much about (which is a LOT of things!!)
- Amber
Amber is a bit strange, and Puzzle doesn't really understand much about her. But she has a lot of cool stories and is nice to Puzzle, so Puzzle has decided she's pretty cool. What does having a dark phylactery have to do with anything? Adults are weird.
- Den Mothers (NPCs)
The Flowers family practically raised Puzzle in place of any actual Sols or Lune, so she respects and trusts them.
She isn't the closest acquaintance of Ratt, but thinks he's really cool and looks up to him as a role model (despite Ratt probably definitely *not* wanting her to do this... if only he knew what she was thinking.) Their relationship mostly consists of her leaving him small gifts from afar, puzzles for him to solve. He seemed to think she just wanted him to solve puzzles for her, but for Puzzle, Ratt's acceptance of her gifts is validation. Some tension was introduced into the relationship when Ratt's pet Goober and Dottiebop began aggressively turning people away when he got sick, lashing out at Puzzle during one of her routine gift routes. This deeply shook Puzzle, and even after having the situation explained by the Den Mothers she still struggled to not wonder if it was all a misunderstanding, or if she had really done something wrong.
- Kioshi
Kioshi is a bit of a strange case for Puzzle. When she first met him she honestly thought he was a murderer, and the way he's so unreactive to most things still scares her a little, even when his *explosive* reactions to other things proves that he definitely isn't just a folk shaped statue. Still, he was a lost and confused kid who needed help, so she helped him. He mostly communicates with her through writing since he's not good at Common yet, and doesn't push her to talk or write at any pace other than her own. They share a room in the Den together and she enjoys learning and participating in his hobbies. Its almost enough to forget that slight ozone scent he tries to hide under the smell of honey and flowers, or the faded bloodstains that still decorate his faded jacket like battle scars. She just has to get used to it.

TRIVIA
-her resting face is somewhere between annoyed and determined. This can either make her look cool and brave, or sarcastic and deadpan, depending on who you're talking to at the time.
-Is selectively mute. She is attending therapy for her anxiety and is trying her best to find her voice.
-Her phylactery color is a soft pink, and the color of her flesh matches it perfectly.
-Absurdly strong for a kit. She's built incredibly stocky and is effectively a wall of muscle.
-Ironically, is also rather short for a kit. Part of this is because of her younger age.
-stims when excited, nervous or uncomfortable. Usually by patting her paws against objects, flapping them, rubbing her paws against her cape and hood and in rarer, more stressful cases chewing on her hood.
-her body type isn't easy to balance with her cape, so she tries to avoid situations where she'd need to glide when she can.
-adores old world items and merchandise, and hoards them in her hiding spaces.
-loves soft and pillowy fabrics.
-keeps a secret journal full of the very colorful thoughts she can never manage to say out loud.
-an extremely supportive friend to those she considers friends, to the point of practically being an enabler in some situations.
-tinkers around with music boxes and would like to learn how to make them herself one day.
-Never learned how to cook, so doesn't know how to cook at all
-Hates people underestimating her or thinking she's simply shy and/or weak and will find a way to let them know it if they try.
-Has sensory issues, most notably with textures, touch and sound.
-puzzle is nearsighted. This issue is partially due to her lack of pupils, but medical attempts to induce the growth of the pupil mutation failed miserably, so instead she very occasionally wears glasses. Most of the time she leaves them off because the feel of them on her face and the parts of her vision that she can see the borders of the glasses at bother her.
-She completely shuts down when faced with emotional conflict, unable to do much else than endure the situation and stim to keep herself from having a complete meltdown. She handles physical altercations much better, but still spends them full of a boatload of nervous adrenaline.
-Puzzle has very healthy eating habits!
-Smells like the Den and like fruity shampoo
-if puzzle wants to become friends with someone, she'll begin bringing them gifts like puzzles and snacks. Unfortunately for some folk this can come off as kind of creepy, but she's only trying her best to express her desire to become friends.
-When on her hind legs Puzzle mostly hops around.
-A relatively healthy kit, but still regularly goes to the doctor for scheduled check ups and therapy appointments.
-sometimes Puzzle will randomly leap at distant surfaces just because she can, honestly. This also serves as balance training for her otherwise sparse use of her gliding abilities, as oftentimes she absolutely wipes instead of reaching the surface she wants to climb onto.
-If you pick Puzzle up by her hood she deactivates like a kitten.
-She doesn't like pizza very much.
-she loves chocolate!
-A morning person. She'll get up at the break of dawn just to enjoy the peace and quiet of sunrise.
