Gaston (Cosmo's Kitchen)

__NOTOC__
Background
Gaston grew up as a normal human boy in a small village with a loving family. He had a deep passion for cooking and aspired to become a great chef. Despite being skilled, he was highly critical of his abilities and constantly sought self-improvement. He was never content with his current level of success and continuously aimed for perfection.
One day, as an energetic and somewhat reckless 18-year-old, Gaston heard about a fey creature rumored to grant wishes. Intrigued, he ventured into the forest to find it. He asked the creature to bestow upon him the powers to become one of the finest cooks in the land. To his surprise, the fey creature agreed, saying she could bestow him with "the nimbleness and grace of a mouse in the kitchen", but with a condition: Gaston had to gather rare herbs from the forest in return. Seeing it as a fair exchange, he embarked on a challenging quest to find and collect the herbs. After completing the task, Gaston returned with the herbs, expecting his wish to be granted. However, instead of fulfilling his desire, the creature revealed their trickery and cursed him, transforming him into a mouse. Disheartened by this unexpected turn of events, Gaston found himself in a state of depression and misery.
Yet, the fey creature's spell had not been completely negative towards him. The curse imbued him with magical powers, altering his very DNA, as is customary when one is permanently transformed. Although he was now a small, squeaking creature, Gaston had also been forever changed. Magic flowed through his veins, giving him new power to master the art of cuisine.
In his despondency, Gaston stumbled upon Cosmo, who recognized great potential in him. Despite his diminutive form, Gaston's tiny hands were adept at preparing intricate garnishes and meticulously plating dishes. His heightened sense of smell proved invaluable in discerning the readiness of each dish, detecting even the slightest imbalances in flavors. Gaston's unwavering spirit refused to settle for anything less than perfection and pushed him to surpass expectations.
Thus, Gaston embarked on his journey at Cosmos Kitchen as a chef de partie, also known as a "pass chef."
One day, while working a late shift in the kitchen, Gaston discovered a mouse running around the kitchen. He confronted the little intruder, only to meet who would soon become his future wife. She stood there in all her feminine mouse glory, and Gaston quickly fell in love with her. Fate had brought them together at a vulnerable time in her life; she was 6 days pregnant, and her ex-boyfriend had left her all alone. Quickly, after some courtship, Gaston married her and took her and the children in as his own. They've been happily married for three months, and are trying for more kids.
