Oc designed by Hacker

Quiet often even around those he knows, he's more of a listener. But he can get hot headed when a certain snake butts in. He refuses to fight anyone physically and doesn't like when others are hurt. He's likely as snugly as his fur looks. He hates summer and can over heat easily due to being built for a colder climate. Sometimes goes over board when it comes to baking and makes too much. He tends to pay for the leftovers at the end of the day and gives it all away to whoever is willing to accept. He sometimes snuggles his own tail out of loneliness

Backstory

The unholy offspring of an ice monster and what appears to be a human. Or that is anyone's best guess. Even he doesn't know if it's true. He doesn't care to know if it's true either way.

He only remembers being on his own for years as a kid, he was perfectly able to care for himself. Like some animal, he hunted for his food with his claws and fangs, and his home was a cave. He lived on a snowy mountain peak, and might have been mistaken for a yeti a few times. Eventually he was found by hikers who had went in to his cave for shelter. He almost attacked them before figuring out they were no harm. He was around 14 at this point in time. The hikers, seeing he was not some animal, managed to coax him to come along with them and down the mountain. He almost seemed happy to tag along, curious and maybe glad to see others besides the animals he eats.

He was later brought to a place where he would be taught to be more fit for society, as he was too animalistic despite his human like intelligence. And he was somewhat dangerous at times, getting mad and throwing things. However, he never laid a hand on anyone, only taking his frustration out on random objects. The worst that happened is him throwing something and it hitting someone on accident, which he seemed quick to get over his fit and see if they were okay. He was a quick learner, starting to speak a bit within a year and his way of acting was improving fast. By the time he was 19 he was allowed to join normal society. He struggled to find a job due to his lack of proper education, most places not wanting to hire him due to that and judgement over how he looked. Eventually he did find someone willing to give him a chance. It was a baker who owned their own shop.

The baker had no one to help, actually. This was because she was so strict. She might have been a bit desperate for help at this point, and this guy looked tough enough to take some harsh criticism. Of course, he had no idea how to cook. When left alone to follow a simple recipe, the baker came back in to see a giant mess. Never had she had someone mess up so horribly- But for some unknown reason, instead of yelling she ended up laughing. Finding out he didn't even know what so much as a cup meant or most the ingredients, she ended up teaching him. She was harsh with him still, of course. But instead of that driving him off he seemed to learn quicker. If you don't want to get yelled at, don't mess up again is how he saw it. It wasn't long before he was able to at least bake some of the more simple things. More complicated things like decorating and generally harder to make things took him longer to learn. He did manage eventually, and even enjoyed it. He sometimes went over board with decorating though, it ending up looking more like an art piece than a simple thing.

After several months of working for the bakery, he had enough money to start renting an apartment and leave the place he had resided in for several years. He was happy to leave at first, but then quickly realized how lonely it was living alone. And his neighbors seemed to want nothing to do with him. He at least looked forward to work, he wouldn't be as alone there. Though he usually was in the back as to not startle the customers. He only got better at his job as time went on, though he was a bit guilty of munching on his work sometimes- Which he paid for, of course. He always took note of what he had.

By the time he was 22, something odd started to happen. His tail started talking. His tail always seemed to act on its own, but talking? That was a new one. Now, his snake tail wasn't a being on its own, but seemed to act as if it is. The things it said was derived from his own negative thoughts, making it impossible to hide things half the time now. When the snake insults him, it's his lack of self confidence. When it tells him to do something, it's a thought he was tempted by to begin with. It's like that figurative demon on your shoulder, but real and everyone can hear it. He now ends up arguing with the snake making it seem as if it isn't his own words, thus quite literally arguing with himself. He quickly figured out it was his own words and not the snake. He tried to tie the mouth shut but it would manage to get free by thrashing around. As if he didn't have a hard enough time interacting with others, now he had his own tail saying things and causing issues.

Luckily most people believed him when he said it had a mind of its own and it wasn't his fault, but it still drove a few people away more than ever. And he did almost lose his job over it when the snake first started talking as it was insulting some of the customers- Or well, really he was insulting them mentally when they got on his nerves. He ended up staying in the back again for a while until he found a way to make the snake be quiet. Ice. Like a real snake, cold made it sleepy. How something not even alive could be sleepy was a mystery. He at a point thought about cutting his snake tail off, but decided against it.

Several more years passed by and he moved out of the apartment and bought a real house, small but it was all he needed. He had finally managed to make at least a few friends with some of the neighbors. But one seemed to have some sort of issue with him. Always watching him like he was waiting for something to happen...But he just ignored him.

He still worked at the bakery, but his old boss had passed away of old age by now. He stayed at home for a couple of weeks after her death as it was a bit hard for him, she might have been his cranky boss but she was also one of his first friends. And in that time, the new owner was taking over. It was the woman's daughter. She was around his age, perhaps a bit younger. Not nearly as cranky as her mother was. When he finally went back to work, his new boss was startled by his appearance. Despite all these years of him working there, he never met the girl before and she had no idea he wasn't a normal human. Eventually things went back to normal at the bakery, though it was a bit rocky at times as the new owner got the hang of things.
