Teeny Steeve

Teeny Steeve is a mystical entity that dwells within the various walls of the buildings in North Park.

## Background

Teeny Steve originally hails from the Magic Woods, where he belonged to a clan of magical giants. After being removed from the clan for his lack of giant height, he found himself drifting from place to place until he ended up in North Park where he settled down within the walls of various North Park buildings. He now uses his magical wall powers to travel around town and play various tricks on people, especially Melville, for his own amusement. The holder of wall secrets, he keeps them to himself and those he believes embodies his wall dweller spirit, usually asking for some kind of trade in return for them. This trade can be anything from precious items, some kind of art, music or poem made for him specifically, or something more abstract. If you insult him however, you are more likely to find yourself at the mercy of his tricks.

## Appearance

Teeny Steeve's most noticeable feature is his height, being under a foot tall. He has short black hair parted in the middle, with dark sclera eyes with white pupils and long eyelashes. He wears a brown shirt with green cross patterns, green pants with brown cross patterns and black suspenders. His mouth is often seen as a squiggly line, a face he seemingly likes to make.

## Personality

Teeny Steeve is a mischievous little entity that loves playing tricks on others. He tends to act heavily on his whims, seeming to have no regard for typical manners and rules of regular society. However, carries his own obscure set of manners he lives by that only a few people actually understand. No matter the situation, Steeve seems to carry about him a whimsical cheerful attitude, even when throwing various insults around, or just generally tormenting others with his pranks and tricks.

## Family

Teeny Steeve was born to a clan of magical giants. But, lacking the height of his kin, he was looked down upon both figuratively and literally. His family saw him as a disgrace and embarrassment, so they banished him from the Magic woods. Not much else is known about Teeny Steeve's giant family.

## Relationships

#### Melville

Teeny Steeve seems to have the most ire for Melville, who he frequently vexes. Whatever Teeny Steeve's own wall manners and rules are, Melville seems to always manage to break them no matter what he does. Melville in turn hates Teeny Steeve and sees him as a nuisance, and would love to get rid of him. This only serves to make Melville an even larger target for Steeve's mischief and mockery.

#### Hansel

Teeny Steeve has seemed to recognise the homeless boy as someone who carries the spirit of a wall dweller. In contrast to Melville, Hansel seems to understand and be able to adapt to Steeve's own complicated and confusing wall manners and rules, making him an easy friend for Teeny Steeve to make. Teeny Steeve will happily share with Hansel various secrets of the walls, and even lets him use the wall space to travel around when he needs it.

#### Mineral

Teeny Steeve seems to have an interest in playing tricks on Mineral, although while his tricks tend to be more malicious and spiteful towards Melville, Steeve seems happy just to occasionally mess with Mineral by simply appearing and making her question her own reality. Perhaps Steeve believes she might also be worthy of wall secrets, and is testing her to see what she does next.

#### Gouupa

Teeny Steeve likes helping Gouupa escape Dr. Toades' lab to have fun around town. Steeve enjoys Gouupa's curious and adventurous personality, and finds them an easy partner in mischief.

## Powers and abilities

#### Small

Despite being a giant by blood, Teeny Steeve is very small which allows him to fit in small areas and go unnoticed.

#### Wall secrets

Teeny Steeve has access to a magic known as wall secrets. Not much is known about how this works specifically, but he seems to be able to pass into and out of some kind of hidden wall dimension, which also grants him quick transport through the town. Since he can be in anyone's walls at any time, he tends to pick up a lot of secrets and information that he keeps to himself and fellow wall dwellers.
