Puff

Blacksmithing

**Puff 'The Juggernaut'** is the seclusive and intimidating captain Queensguard's Sixth Division. He is one of the last remaining Goliaths in Mewni.

## Background

For as far back as Puff could remember, he was on his own. With no family, tribe, or anyone to speak of he wandered about by himself from village to village, surviving off of scraps of food to survive. Because of his size and the reputation that his race carried, he was often chased from whatever village he tried to make any home in.

Because of this he got used to just skirting the outskirts of whatever place he went, covering his face to hide his identity, and making himself scarce. He never stayed in one place for too long and never even bothered trying to interact with others, as it never worked out for him.

During an incident where he was being chased out of another village, Queen Moon happen to stumble across him. She ordered the mob of villagers away and brought Puff back to the Butterfly Kingdom, giving him a home. Because of this he finds himself indebted to the Butterfly family, particularly Moon and Astro.

## Personality

Puff is often quiet and very secluded. He doesn't talk much and doesn't care much for even interacting with others unless it's absolutely necessary. He prefers to carry out his duties in a formal matter, and spends most of his time in the forge crafting and repairing weapons and armor for the members of Queensguards.

He has a very short fuse when it comes to dealing with others, and won't hesitate to use violence when irritated. Puff very much enjoys his work in the forge, and spends the majority of his time there. He takes great pride in his work and will not tolerated his craftsmanship being insulted in any way. He is very adamant about keeping his appearance and past hidden from others, and will grow quite testy with questioned about it.

As a captain he is honestly rather negligent in his duties, and leaves most of the more formal work up to his lieutenant. Because of his lack of control and other more rowdy members, the sixth has grown a reputation of being the wildest of the divisions. Despite his standoffish nature he does have a few people he considers close friends, and he is very protective of them. On the battlefield he is ruthless, bulldozing over any and every enemy in his path. Though when his comrades are in danger he switches to more defensive and protective tactics. Because of this he has become well respected and admired by those under him.

## Appearance

Puff is a towering figure, standing at almost ten feet tall. He wears red and gold armor, and carries his battle axe on his back at all times. Hardly anyone has ever seen what he really looks like underneath his armor, though people near him do occasionally they can make out what looks like glowing red eyes from the eye holes of his helmet.

Corona, being one of the few people who has actually seen him without his helmet, has described him as very handsome, further fueling everyone's curiosity about his face.

## Relationships

### Queen Moon

Moon was the first person who ever went so far for him, giving him protection and a place to stay. He feels indebted to her and is fiercely protective of her. He dislikes her spending so much time around the Magical High Commission, as he doesn't trust them. She is one of the few who he will actually listen to, and will occasionally get him to come out of the forge for some fresh air and social time. He is aware that she's the one who wiped out most of the Goliaths, though doesn't care since he had no real attachment to them.

### Astro

He views him as a brotherly figure, as Astro was completely unbothered by his appearance and was as nice to him as Moon was. Because Puff refused to listen to Higgs during her time as captain, Astro was the one who usually had to work with him. Astro was the one who promoted him to captain due to his skills and strengths. He is just as protective of him as he is of Moon, and is quick to threaten anyone who bothers or challenges him.

### Flink

His lieutenant. While not particularly close with one another, they respect one another as blacksmiths and work well enough together on missions. Flink usually has to take over most of his duties when he locks himself in the forge, but will talk him into doing his job when more serious matter arise.

### Corona

Because of his attitude, most tended to steer clear to him out of fear. Corona however was never anything but warm and friendly towards him. She always made sure to check up on him and heal what few wounds he got on the battlefield. He warmed up to her and is notably less angry when she's around. She helped him get closer to some of the others by bringing him along with them after missions.

### Sarasim

Puff often injured those he used to spar with, and after a while nobody else would even bother. Sarasim however did so regularly, and the two were known for having some of the most brutal matches within the Queensguard. Puff has a healthy respect for her, and would occasionally listen to her orders depending on the situation.

### Morel

The only person outside of the Butterfly family who can be considered close friend with Puff. The two are often seen hanging around one another when off duty, and though few words are spoken between the two, they always seem to be on the same page. Puff appreciates that Morel doesn't know or care what's beneath his helmet, and doesn't ask about his past either.

### Hody Kelpbottom

He despises Hody after the prince insulted one of his weapons, calling it inferior to waterfolk weaponry. It was an extreme blow to his pride as a blacksmith, and because of this he assaults Hody every time he sees him. The prince does his best to avoid him, but is always on edge whenever he goes with his parents to the Butterfly castle.

### Magical High Commission

He hates the Commission, and will ignore or disobey orders by them. He particularly dislikes Rhombulus, who he has attacked and assaulted on numerous occasions. Hekapoo and Omni don't even bother trying to deal with him anymore, and usually end up having to go to Flink.

## Power and Abilities

### **Abilities**

**Biology**: As Goliath, Puff is naturally strong and durable. He can easily withstand most physical attacks he is struck with. His height and build make him an intimidating figure, and he is the third in physical strength within the Queensguards behind Astro and Fum.

**Blacksmithing**: Puff is an incredible blacksmith, and widely regarded as the most skilled smith in mewni. There are very few weapons or armor he can't break down with a glance. Because of this in one on one fights he often ends up shattering his enemies weapons or armor.

### **Weaknesses**

Like all Goliaths, Puff is susceptible to magical attacks. Puff also has a terrible temper, and when it goes too overboard he simply charges in without thinking. He's very easily tricked, and prefers just charging into a situation rather than thinking things through even a little.

## Trivia

* Puff is a notoriously difficult individual to deal with. Outside of request for repairs, he hardly listens to anyone. Not even Star. The only ones he really follows without question are Astro, Corona, and Moon.
* While Puff has no magical powers, his battleaxe is equipped with a number of magical stones which let it emit fire, lighting, and various other magical attacks from it. It’s not quite as powerful as other’s weapons, but it is the most versatile and sturdy. And in his hands lack of power really isn’t a concern.
* Only a handful of people have ever seen Puff’s face. None of them will answer what he looks like. To most his species, appearance, and background are all a mystery.
* He earned his title by charging straight across a battlefield, trampling all in his path, and smashing down a wall in the enemies fortress. During this charge no one was even able to slow him down, and he literally split the enemies forces down the middle, allowing the guard to divide and defeat them.
* Puff has a infamous short fuse, and it doesn’t take much to tick him off. The list of people he had assaulted while in a rage holds High Commission members, noble family members, royal heirs, and even some royals themselves. He’s ahead many complaints against him but is usually found to be more or less justified in his rage.
* Puff occasionally gets requests to make small trinkets and jewelry. The few people brave enough to venture into the forge and meet up with him say he does excellent work.
* Behind Astro and Fum, he is the third physically strongest member of the Queensguard.
* It’s said that a rebel once managed to get a glimpse of his face after chipping off a piece of his helmet. That rebel didn’t live very long afterwards.
