Chickenstab is a major protagonist of Colorquest. Chickenstab is the embodiment of turquoise. He is an eccentric, animal loving ball of energy who frequently enjoys ruining someone’s day for laughs. He’s frequently tethered to his best friend Rede’s side, and together they make sure their rival, Twiddle Niddle, does not see through to his plans. Not because he’s evil or anything though, just because he’s really, really fun to mess with. Chickenstab has a fondness for chickens, swords, and wishes to become the best sidekick the world has ever seen. In his host, he’s seen to be nearly the same, though he is known to exhibit occasional rage-fueled outbursts.

### Morals

Chickenstab crashes down with the intent to be a villain like Twiddle, but quickly establishes more realistic morals when he starts actually interacting with the people and animals of the world.

## Relationships

### Rede

Chickenstab and Rede are like if two of the most annoying classmates in your 11th grade science class decided to play gay chicken with each other but they never back out. AND they’re somehow even more annoying when they’re together (and they never seem to be apart).

Chickenstab’s side of the relationship is quite a bit different than Rede’s.

While he and Rede may not have gotten along the best before touch down, Chickenstab still considered Rede a friend albeit not a very close one. So when he crashes down so close to Rede, he’s excited that there’s someone there he already knows.

Now, Chickenstab is a pretty sentimental guy, and he’s never existed in the physical realm up until this point, so he’s appreciative of everything he gets to do early on. Even though Rede seemed to have trouble with sight, Chickenstab only found the opportunity to help aid Rede a delight.

To him, his time is not burdened helping Rede out. Instead, he’s thrilled that it gives him the opportunity to describe the world as he explores it. He also learns pretty quickly that he enjoys Rede’s snips and snarks now that he’s physically present to hear them. He thinks Rede is funny.

As a result from all of the above, he would continue to help lead Rede around even after they’ve grouped up with others.

Chickenstab is not as slow to figure out his emotions and feelings as Rede tends to be. Fairly early on, even before the events of Bristly, he feels as though Rede has become a close and special friend to him. Even though it doesn’t seem to be mutual at the time.

So when Bristly does take over, and they are separated, he’s pretty upset. He tries to fill the void by helping the person he finds himself stuck with, someone who is coincidentally also blind and green, but it doesn’t help much beyond giving him something to do.

Though he and Rede communicate through their realm while they’re physically separated, Chickenstab would not let it show that he’s sad about their separation. It’s an attempt to stay positive.

When they find each other though, Cstab lets all of his feelings out at once. He’d be crying and blubbering but overjoyed as well. So excited about their return to each other that he runs off with Rede, quickly abandoning the living that they both spent days traveling with. Even though they’re all working together. And shouldn’t split up.

But whatever, they spend the next long while together and that’s all Chickenstab cares about. Once he’s had time to process his emotions, plus many mind-chats with friends of wisdom (Primarily Uppsulka!), he realises he feels something special for Rede. He is, however, under the firm impression that Rede has no interest in him beyond being friends. So he says nothing for a very long time.

Still, he treats Rede special at this point. He dedicates much of his time to him, always prefers that they travel together long after Rede is no longer dependent on someone leading him, and usually chooses to try new things only when he can get Rede to go along with him.

Which is why it takes him so long to get a host. At this phase, he is incredibly excited when Rede finally finds one he likes, and he’s already mapping out like, *so* many things they could do together in-host. He’s so caught up in it all that he doesn’t realise for quite a while how odd Rede is in-host.

For such a fast paced and emotional mime, Chickenstab is incredibly patient. He’s spent so long believing Rede wasn’t interested in him that when Rede actually advances on Chickenstab, he's pretty oblivious. Their relationship status is hazy to them for a while because of this.

To be fair though, if Chickenstab ever said or did anything before Rede had, it’s likely Rede would deny feelings and push away. It went so slowly but it went down the best way it could have.

### Twiddle Niddle

They were originally friends before they came down, because Chickenstab would rave about being so dastardly and evil and twisted and Twiddle was very fond of that sort of talk. But when reality hit, Chickenstab centered his morals and figured out he didn’t really like actually plotting and killing people, and Twiddle Niddle instantly started finding him annoying and a drag instead.

At first their rivalry was sort of half-hearted, but the more Twiddle doubled down on being truly malicious, Chickenstab began disliking him more and more genuinely. That, and Twiddle is such a coot it’s hard not to make fun of him.

Twiddle now just gets frustrated and angry with Chickenstab, while Chickenstab goes out of his way to thwart Twiddle’s plans however he can, with the help of Rede.

Chickenstab likes to be a ne'erdowell, but on a rambunctious level. He learns quickly that pure villainry is not for him, and he'd rather just be annoying. Twiddle has no time for people who don't agree with him. I's a genuine hate, eventually. #There's a part of Chickenstab that still cares for Twiddle as a friend though. One can't say the same for Twiddle towards Chickenstab, though.
