## Appearance

Puffleguin is a brown penguin with a long tail. His head is covered in fur in contrast to the feathers on the rest of his body. His face has almost a cartoonish appearance, with irisless eyes, and a round big beak. The fur on his head is spiky at the top, though it isn't very pointy.

## Story

### Beginning

After Puffleguin first registered as a Yo-kai, he found himself wandering around Springdale, the town he ended up at, for weeks. He didn’t know what to do, all alone. He ended up at the Triangle Park, a place he’s wandered to multiple times. But it was different this time, there were children playing around. He wasn’t really paying attention to them, and was just gonna leave.

“Daisy! I’m sure you can’t go on the slide a hundred times!”

Puffleguin turned around to look when he heard her say that, but he just continued walking away.

“Penguin?”

Puffleguin turned. The girl who called out Daisy’s name was looking directly at him. Puffleguin pointed at himself, gesturing “Me?” The girl immediately ran over to hug him, much to Puffleguin’s surprise. “H- Hey! You can’t just-” But the child’s innocence was so pure that he couldn’t bring himself to finish that sentence. One of the nearby adults called to both children that they should be heading home. Puffleguin expected to just leave then and there, but then the girl grabbed his flipper and ran over to the adult. She had a surprisingly tight grip, and Puffleguin was unable to let go. The adult was actually the girl’s mom, and Puffleguin learned the girl’s name, Ashley.

Ashley’s mom took Daisy back to her home, and returned home with Ashley. This whole time, Ashley has a grip on Puffleguin’s flipper. While her grip worsened as she kept on, Puffleguin didn’t escape her grip, even though he could’ve if he wanted to. Ashley immediately ran into her room with Puffleguin. Ashley hugged him again.  Puffleguin knew that Ashley already considered him her absolute best friend, even though they’ve hardly talked or interacted at all. Still, he returned the gesture, Even if they don’t really know each other yet, he’s just glad to have made a friend.

Over the next couple years, Ashley would grow taller while Puffleguin stayed the same height. They were the best of friends, doing so much together. Ashley even made friends with other Yo-kai, as she was able to see them all.  Puffleguin was happy to be with someone again, but that would change very soon.

When Ashley was entering 3rd grade, suddenly, her stories with her penguin friend were more often being met with “We know, you have a bunch of imaginary friends, but you gotta realize they aren’t real, right?” Even her parents, who supported their daughter’s imagination, were starting to hint that they weren’t real. Puffleguin would tell her that wasn’t true, but everyone telling her eventually got to her.

Ashley stopped interacting with new Yo-kai, and soon the Yo-kai friends she did make were being ignored. Puffleguin took notice, and continued to reassure her that he and the other Yo-kai were real. Ashley brushed off what he said, and would slowly stop talking with him too. The only place they would talk would be in her room. Puffleguin reached his breaking point, and one night before Ashley went to bed, Puffleguin finally snapped.

He told her everything, and even stated the facts. “If Yo-kai were just your imagination, then why do they affect the real world? Why is this pencil I’m holding floating if I was just your imagination? What about the times you hugged me? If I wasn’t real, you wouldn’t have felt anything! Not to mention the fact that when Yo-kai inspirited people, you could see them feel the effects of said inspiriting!” Each point he made, Ashley turned down every single one with an explanation that didn't make sense. Eventually, Puffleguin just went to sleep, and so did Ashley. But once she fell asleep, Puffleguin got up, packed his things, and ran away.

In the morning, he made one last visit to Ashley when he knew she’d be waking up. He observed from her window, and was deeply saddened by what he saw. Ashley was HAPPY that he was gone, that she finally let go of that part of her imagination, and got ready for school like nothing even happened. Puffleguin just left, heartbroken, knowing that their friendship was over.
