«☼ Backstory / Plot Hooks ☼»

Once a loyal soldier a part of the Spirit Sovereign, Torama's legion, now a friendly possessed scarecrow wanting nothing more than to be alive and surrounded by loved ones.

&$%^&* was a Puppeteer Spirit summoned by the Sovereign Torama, Defiler of Nature. After a strenuous battle against Quamta, Sovereign of the Swamp, $%^&# lost their memories and was abandoned by Torama.

Upon awakening, @#$%& was met with the sight of golden fields as far as the eye can see, with the occasional orange gourd dotting the landscape. Their body was stiff as though they were nailed to a stake, countless days and nights had passed, leaving the disoriented spirit alone with their own thoughts. Who were they? Where were they?

One day, a handsome man with long pointy ears passed through the field. They took a moment to stop and stare out at the setting sun and muttered "Nothing like a patch of pumpkins to brighten up my day…"

Eventually, the ropes confining the straw vessel weakened, allowing for the lost spirit to break away. Now free to wander beyond the horizon, the spirit was delighted, eager to see new things and experience this new life they were granted!

The first settlement $@&?% stumbled upon was, Morgenwend. Contrary to the town's warm atmosphere, the spirit was met with fearful gazes, harassment, and eventually getting chased out by knights brandishing sharp blades. It was there that they learned, for whatever reasons, their existence was wrong.

From the shadows, the sad scarecrow watched and longed to be a part of the light. Yearned to be included, have friends, a purpose in life, and pretty ears like the elven people… Driven by these built-up desires, the spirit strived to change themself, so that one day they would be accepted by all! And so, the training arc began! The first step to obtaining a friendly image is to obtain a friendly name! &0}%+€ then remembered the words of the first elf he laid eyes on back in those sunny farmlands, and so Patch Pumpkin was born! Patch spent their days filled with determination, making fake elf ears from straw and cardboard. Creating a rouge from ground up flower petals in order to achieve rosy cheeks. And even perfecting their crooked smile in the reflection of a nearby pond.

More lore to come, stay tuned!
