## About

Snay was born in Silver Creek, a small, ragged town supplying only weather-beaten houses for its mostly poor residents. As Silver Creek was very near to a common battleground, the town was often ravaged and unexpectedly attacked in wars between the Hood and the kingdom.

Snay was an only child, but his family was not wealthy. To get money to support his family, Snay’s father, Noviem, joined the army. Noviem rarely had to leave their house, but he often came back with brutal scars when he did.

Even with Noviem’s job, the family still didn’t have enough money to pay for food, water, and shelter. So, Noviem kept pressuring Snay to join the army. Snay was deathly afraid of war, especially when it came to Silver Creek without warning, which was a common occurrence. Noviem kept trying to get Snay into the army, but nothing worked.

One day, while his father was away in battle, Snay discovered art. His mother took him down to a little canyon with lots of colored rocks. When Snay scraped the rocks against the floor of the canyon, he realized that it created a picture. After then, Snay was constantly visiting the creek to create drawings.

When Noviem found out that Snay had a passion for art, he was furious. He claimed that Snay was wasting his time on drawing, which didn’t pay him any money. But Snay took all possible opportunities to visit the canyon and draw.

The amount of money that Noviem received from being a soldier was split between him and Snay’s mother, who respected her son’s passion for art. In secret, as a birthday present, she bought him a set of three brushes, a small stack of paper, and a watercolor paint set. Snay was so overjoyed with this gift and almost ran out of paper the day he received the set.

Noviem was unexpectedly called to war when the Hood struck the kingdom forcefully. Snay’s mother, in fear that she would never see her husband again, told him about how much their son loved creating art. Noviem was so upset with him that he used physical punishment on his own kit. After that, Noviem never returned, and a messenger delivered the news a week later that his father had been slain in battle.

In shock from his father’s death, Snay used his last sheet of paper to paint his feelings about the loss of his father, even though he had never wanted to accept that he loved art. When he later became the art teacher at Lucky’s Academy, it became a known thing that the watercolor unit was the first one that he taught his class, in honor of his mother’s gift to him and how the paints helped him express his sadness when his father passed away.
