Midnight Erebus is a monster hunter from a magic-heavy plane in which most creatures and beings have some sort of magical affinity. During one such hunt he found himself stranded in Liminal. After being found by the Wandercrew he decided to join them as a tracking specialist, first specializing in sealing rifts and now currently as a member of the Wayweaver department, exploring new places and dealing with new fantastical creatures in the world the crew now finds themselves in.

## Plot Threads

### Active

**Folded City Card:** After devouring a magical contract Midnight was given a business card for a place called the Folded City from a bird-like being that was visiting the Folksong library. They expressed an interest in his curse in particular and the card seems to be invisible to some individuals such as those from Gibbet. While the curse that resulted in being given the card, Midnight has kept hold of it just in case.

**Curse Eater:** To protect his allies, the Snailsman and others from a Timeshare curse, Midnight used his shadow magic to consume the contract containing the curse. This resulted in 9/10 of his shadow being split off from his body. This shadow was eventually found and tamed by Cash within the nightmare realm of the Dream Wyrm.

Since then he has garnered the attention of the Black Dog spirit and magically devoured a relic of the Black Dogs while out on a mission for Folksong to retrieve it after getting a strong sense that this object would bring harm to Folksong and others if he followed through fully on the task given to him. This has earned him the name of "Curse Eater" in Folksong and has caused strain in the crew's relationship with Yolk. He has also received the Curse of the Monstrous as a result, but seems to have maintained control thus far due in large part to him being quite used to practicing emotional control due to dealing with a certain level of emotional volatility for most of his life.

Currently Cash still has Midnight's shadow and it is uncertain if it is still linked to him or if this shadow has essentially become its own being as normally damage to Midnight's shadow would cause some mental effects on the wolf.

**Midnight Rush:** A mixture of pure magic made in Gibbet from spirits in fish with a blackberry flavor with a hint of anise. Known to be addictive and to give even non-magic users access to magic when drank. Midnight was a celebrity for this product for a time with Akhana Nari as in an effort to investigate Gibbet's practices. With the change in leadership, Midnight's involvement in this has largely ended though it played a large role in attracting the attention of the Black Dog.

**The Godcatchers:** Pa'ul requested the aid of Cassidus, Clemantine, Howl and Midnight in hunting down and capturing escaped spirits and gods from Hymnal that may threaten the world. Currently they are just deputies as they have yet to actually catch a god so far.

**Nightmare Pearl:** Midnight has found a remnant of the Dream Wyrm's nightmare realm in the form of a pearl while out fishing. He has asked the Mysticians to examine the object.

### Old/Inactive

**Rift Buoys:** A Season 2 project that Midnight came up with during the Liminal World Fair. Their initial function was to simply mark the locations of rifts by anchoring themselves on the outside of them using a capsule made of an alloy of silver and containing communication equipment. Other uses were discovered for this by applying runes, allowing for the capture of rift related energies that eventually culminated in creating a network of buoys that acted as an early detection system for dealing with The Librarian and creating a containment trap that would delay the Book Wyrm. Midnight was quite proud of what he accomplished by simply applying the principles discovered by other departments and while he hopes these buoys may serve a purpose in the future, they have currently been shelved due to the current lack of rifts.

## Personal History

### Early Life

Midnight was born to a traveling trade caravan of Wolffolk. His mother was Frostdawn Erebus while his father is currently unknown beyond the fact that he was a shadow demon with an affinity for fear. How he met Midnight's mother and their relationship is largely unknown as soon after Midnight's birth, the caravan came under attack by a group of Draugr during a trip to the Dwarven hunting village in the Banshee Mountains.

Midnight survived protected in his mother's arms until a group of hunters came to investigate why the caravan was running late. Among these hunters was a good friend of Frostdawn named Yomrim Brewsword, a fire dwarf monster hunter who loved to forge his own weapons. He chose to become Midnight's adoptive father, raising him like his own though named him based on his mother's traditions.

While Midnight and his father got along well, he was largely isolated in the Banshee Mountains village for most of his early life. While they often took in guests from all races, the idea of someone without the lineage of the original Heroes of the Banshee Mountains living among them was considered blasphemy by many of the more traditional families. A notable exception was a fire dwarf distantly related to Yomrim named Notroc Giantheart. Midnight and Notroc became close when Notroc came to Midnight's rescue when he was being bullied, coming pretty much out of nowhere and knocking the bullies out. It didn't win him any friends with the other villagers but the two became inseparable after that, constantly getting into fights or sparring with each other.

Midnight also became friends with a member of an alchemy caravan named Nilly Nutcracker, a squirrelfolk with some elven blood in her lineage. The caravan only stopped by one week a year but that time rapidly became his favorite time of year. Often Nilly would play some rather explosive pranks on the kids in the village, a comeuppance that Midnight especially enjoyed watching but his favorite thing was hearing stories of other far away lands. Places that he'd never seen or heard of, and sometimes hearing of other wolffolk. It was at this point Midnight had decided he'd become a monster hunter.

Learning to be a monster hunter was not as simple as just deciding to be one however. Education in the village was done by the children apprenticing with a wide variety of skilled individuals of the village to learn the basics of the trade, from jewelry crafting and blacksmithing to running the bath house often used to wind down and treat wounds. Midnight's interests in hunting and some of his physical attributes such as a strong sense of smell made him a stellar trainee for hunting though he initially struggled with awakening his magic which was a necessity to become a full-fledged hunter.

Eventually Yomrim took Midnight out on a supervised hunt for a smaller monster called a Bram, a creature that was a strange mix of ram and bear, teaching him the trick for taking down such a creature quickly. However, Yomrim expected Midnight to fail and ultimately he did fail to ambush the creature. The young wolf was terrified as the beast began to approach him and his father was nowhere to be found at first. The emotional stimulus however awakened Midnight's shadow magic, causing it to surge out in his defense and kill the Bram. It wasn't an experience he soon forgot and for a time he was upset with his adoptive father, but after that incident he rapidly progressed as a hunter candidate.

### The Shadow Wolf of the Banshee Mountains

At the start of every year there is a hunting festival in the Banshee Mountains to test new hunters from the village and others who wish to be monster hunters from around the world. The seer of the village selects an appropriate target for each hunting group. The team from Midnight's village that year consisted of Notroc Giantheart, a healing and support magic specialist by the name of Kalolin Ashforge, a lightning specialist by the name of Katid Goldmane, a spacial magic specialist named Hargak Underbrew, and Midnight himself.

Katid and Hargak were both known for bullying Midnight constantly while Kalolin often acted as a peacekeeper to keep the two from fighting too much with Notroc and Midnight, so tensions were high from the start and only worsened when the target was one of the most dangerous creatures in the Banshee Mountains. An Ice Banshee who had recently been discovered in the frozen lake in its center. While not particularly powerful creatures, their touch could freeze the very soul and not only kill the individual, but erase them from the cycle of rebirth. A good team could deal with them quickly by separating the crystal heart of the banshee from its frozen corpse before its spirit ever spotted them, or fight it off by protecting their body with magic so it was a very doable task for new hunters, however the risk was significant.

Unfortunately the tension in the team led to a lot of infighting the entire trek to the lake. Fighting and arguing that could be heard for miles around echoing throughout the vast mountain range. This arguing alerted the banshee and when they finally set foot on the lake, it immediately flew straight through Katid, destroying his soul instantly, and slashed the face of Notroc before grasping his heart and destroying him as well. It next set its gaze on Midnight who managed to cover his internals with shadow magic just as it made physical contact. While the group manages to kill the banshee and retrieve its heart, it left physical and emotional scars on Midnight. Particularly a strong sense that the only value he will have to make up for his friend's death is to one day die protecting others like Notroc protected him.

Since that day he worked with Kalolin and Hargak on other hunts, each of them earning a total of three silver earrings for particularly fantastic hunt that saved a great many lives. His relation with Hargak greatly improved and for a short bit he even had a budding romance with Kalolin, though things grew awkward as they found their feelings to be more familial then romantic. After that point Midnight regularly frequented brothels during their travels in hopes of finding companionship.

### Arriving on Liminal

Midnight arriving on Liminal came as a result of one of his monster hunts. A powerful necromantic green dragon had been causing havoc in the world for quite some time, even using his own children as research subjects. While dragons were generally considered too sentient to be valid monster hunting targets, the threat he presented was too great. The entire village was involved in the effort to try to hunt him down and they eventually tracked him to a cave near the Chaos Woods.

The hunt didn't go quite as planned however. While the team that entered the cave forced the dragon to retreat as expected, it overpowered the trap team that Midnight was a part of. Midnight grasped onto the dragon's back as it flew out of the cave, stabbing his blade into it repeatedly, but ultimately he was flung off into a lake in the middle of the Chaos Woods. Given the massive amounts of chaotic magic in the woods, it turned out that somehow the lake had become a Rift to Liminal which led to Midnight being spit out in the middle of the ocean with a bunch of debris from the traps that fell off the dragon with him. He was eventually found floating amongst the debris by the Wandercrew, badly injured but still alive.

## Wandercrew History

### Academy Days

Midnight was a fairly middling candidate when he attending Lockstitch Academy. His fighting skills were good, but not at the top of where they could be as the magic of Liminal altered how his own magic functioned, making adapting a constant process. He did surprisingly well on the bomb disarming test due to his past experiences with Nilly, succeeded at the survival testing and succeeded at rift stitching. This made Midnight hard to initially place beyond as a member of the original Navigation department.

At some point however, Catori witnessed something demonstrating he had a great deal of potential in Rift Stitching, ultimately leading him to becoming a member of that subdivision under Tlalli Sleekfeet. A placement that Midnight didn't mind as he did in fact hope to find the rift that brought him to Liminal in the first place to perhaps one day return home after he had repaid the kindness the Wandercrew had shown him.

### Season 2

At some point Midnight met Lio L. Levon in the Diving Belle and the two rapidly became drinking buddies and great friends, Midnight initially seeing him as someone who can help him reign in some of his more aggressive tendencies and a kindred spirit that understands what it can be like being separated from friends and family.

After officially joining the crew he quickly lost the cloak he made with his adoptive father made of Bram fur, one of the few things from his home that he still had, when he used it to try and help warm up B+ after she got frozen touching a strange flower that eventually bloomed into a White Cap and kidnapped her. These were the same events that led to the destruction of the first Wanderpus. Though the loss hurt, he was more glad that no one died in the destruction of the sub.

Midnight's first away mission soon followed when the crew flew the airship into a rift leading the a world of squirrelfolk that worshipped much of the crew like heroes. Tsoki Chatterfang was one of the first squirrels to approach the crew, showing them around and ultimately asking for assistance in investigating strange events in a nearby valley. During this investigation the team (Royce, Tsoki, Zacna and Midnight) found a floating island that a group of squirrelfolk were trying to built an interdimensional engine on after Royce and Midnight knocked out the guards outside. The project was unstable however which led to Royce convincing the leader to stop the project, though said leader soon thoughtlessly sabotaged the engine and put it in a critical state that would cause the floating island to crash. The group quickly got to work on trying to fix the engine and ultimately crashed the island into the Word Tree of Liminal. Thankfully the damage was largely minimal and the group was there safely, however this event left Tsoki stranded with the crew. A fact that didn't sit right with Midnight and he made a point of helping Tsoki learn the ropes.

## Trivia and Other Facts

* The dwarves of Midnight's home are much like classical fantasy hill dwarves but with also elemental aspects to them. For example, they might have hair or beards made of rock or crystal, blood that glows red in their veins like fire, eyes that naturally glow like moonlight, or so on. This depends less on their family lineage and more what elemental affinity they are born with.

* Midnight as a character was initially created as a representation of Loyalty taken to its extremes and was later influenced by folklore such as the Church Grim and with a little bit of Vlad Tepes (Vlad, the Impaler) as a basis for why he might be loved by his friends but how he may go to extreme lengths to protect them.

* For the academy exams, Midnight rolled 11s on all the tests other than the tinkering test which was a 1d180+6 roll for how many seconds were left on that bomb, on which he rolled a 129.

* Demons from Midnight's world are not traditional demons. They are beings created from magic and emotion as familiars assigned to particular tasks, only gaining awareness beyond their assigned task after absorbing a great deal of ambient magic and emotion. As pure magical beings, they need to separate some aspect of themselves to reproduce, often giving up an aspect of their personality or at least some fragment of it, essentially passing on three traits to their offspring: their elemental affinity, their emotional affinity, and the personality trait or memory that they split off. Given this information, this is how Midnight discovered his demon heritage after a run-in with holy water. Only Quet, with their ability to see things as words, has been able to see that his father's sense of loyalty was the trait that Midnight inherited, likely implying that his father's own sense of loyalty is diminished or gone.

* Midnight's surname is the same as the Greek primordial God of Darkness and a variety of Canna Lily.

* Midnight's home village functions on a collective teaching style. There are no proper classrooms. Instead it is considered a responsibility of the entire village to set aside time to teach the children about what they do and their knowledge of the world. Sometimes even traveling caravan members would participate in this to get better deals on their product. This often led to a strongly varied set of skills that allowed opportunity for children to find their area of expertise and strongly discourage families isolating their trade from the rest of the village.

## Physiology

Midnight's physiology is a mixture of normal physical biology and shadow magic. While his physical form mostly resembles a normal example of Wolffolk with heightened senses of taste, smell and hearing and slightly muted color vision, his body also relies on magic to function. His shadow contains elements of his subconscious and emotional state within it and if his magical body is damaged he becomes significantly emotionally muted. He likely wouldn't be able to survive for long in a completely magical state without something taking place of the mental and physical functions his magic provides his body. However there is some question due to the different magics between worlds of how his body has been affected by his time in Liminal and now his time in the current world as it is likely he needed to go through some sort of adaptation to function.

What is certain is that the magical aspect of his body primarily feeds off fear and naturally makes him drawn to high adrenaline situations and respond to fear with more of a euphoric fight response rather than terror in many cases. The separated part of his shadow demonstrated this by feeding off of nightmare creatures while being trapped with the Dream Wyrm.

## Interests/Dislikes

**Interests**

**Hunting:** Midnight grew up wanting to be a monster hunter his whole life so while hunting is a job to him, it is also something he takes joy in. He does try his best to make use of everything from things he hunts though sometimes circumstances do not allow.

**Fishing:** Fishing is basically just hunting of underwater creatures to Midnight, though often it can be more relaxing when he is not opting for spearfishing. Like hunting, he tries to find uses for everything he catches.

**Drinking:** Midnight is a recreational drinker, particularly enjoying a good sweet wildberry mead, but he is open to trying virtually any drink. He also often picks particular drinks representing lost friends and allies to remember them by when he needs to reminisce on the good times he had with them and has been holding onto a bottle of an Applemint Cyser identical from that of his home for this purpose. He is currently the undefeated drinking contest champion of the crew.

**Spa Days:** While Midnight is perfectly willing to get dirty, he values cleanliness and comfort when he can get it. Keeping his hair and fur in good condition despite all the wild activity is a point of pride for him. Not to mention it was always easier to attract companionship when he didn't smell like a dirty canine. As such this interest extends to experimenting with perfumes, hair products and other such things. So far Midnight has settled on liking lavender scents the best.

**Meditation:** Midnight practices a great many meditation and mindfulness techniques from ritual tracing in sand and snow to just standard breathing and emotion control. It was an invaluable practice for him to learn to control his magic, particularly with the intense emotion embedded within it.

**Jewelcraft:** Silver has always been a fascinating metal to Midnight, even ignoring the importance of silver earrings to his home's culture. There was also the added bonus that wearing a lot of silver helped deal with the more isolated villages that couldn't tell the difference between Wolffolk and Werewolves but mostly he found it to be a soothing material to look at and wear. He struggled learning the craft when it was taught to him as a child due to his claws making fine manipulation and dexterity an issue for him but he got back into the practice following the events that gave him his magical transformation and eventually made silver earrings for all the crew involved in the defeat of the Librarian. Other than silver however he has been known to carve bones into decorative pieces, particularly fishbone.

**Fighting:** Midnight is a recreational fighter, through and through. While sparring serves a training purpose as well, he enjoys fights and spars for the sheer joy of it, entering fighting competitions when the opportunity arise. This led to him fighting in a 2v2 match with Reedi C. Ulysses against the muscular worpeltinger siblings Aspara and Gus as well as a tournament in which he claimed second place, losing only to Royce Vanderbilt in the finals.

**Singing & Storytelling:** Midnight loves a good story or song, both listening to them and hearing them. It makes everything better in his eyes and he has used it to both bring comfort to his friends when he can, excite new acquaintances, and even calmed down a raging giant in Folksong by singing a lullaby to them and telling them a story.

**Books:** Midnight enjoys reading, particularly adventure, trashy romance and bestiary books. This comes from a mix of him enjoying learning the ways others view the world and romantic endeavors, but also to learn how he can better approach his craft.

**Dislikes**

**Intense Scents:** Midnight's strong sense of smell makes particularly strong scents overwhelm the wolf and cause a state of sensory overload. He will often reflexively try to remove himself from such situations without much thought.

**Grains:** Grains tend to taste bland and make Midnight feel lethargic after eating, as such he will typically avoid grains unless they are mixed with foods that he enjoys. For example, he'll eat things like peanut butter cookies or meat buns, but things like oatmeal cookies and must varieties of breads he will actively avoid.

**Isolation:** Being by himself is something that Midnight almost never enjoys. Doing anything without some kind of companion nearby "feels like hell" in his words and he will actively do whatever he can to seek out companionship when in such a state whether it be going to the bar, showing off in a town square, or more recently keeping Prism at his side when he goes fishing and the like when no others are available. Adopting Prism in fact has been something that has made him far less anxious when he's not around crewmates.

## Abilities

**Invoker Powers**

**Wrath**

 **Shadowwhip (Lawbringer)** | 3 | Forms the Shadow Tendrils around an arm. Treated like a whip or other malleable forms rather than hammer.You raise your hand to the sky and summon a spectral warhammer into your grip. The hammer is a one-handed weapon that deals 3 damage. It appears to crackle with blue-green light and leaves a deep, reverberating sound in its wake. If you roll a triumph when using the hammer, it releases a crackling boom and casts your Thunderous Word spell on the target. The hammer vanishes in smoke after one hour or when you dismiss it.

**Wards**

**Monstrous Curse Powers**

These powers come from the Black Dog bone that Midnight devoured, giving him monstrous and dangerous powers related to the Black Dog Spirits.

 **Raging Onslaught** | 3 | With unchecked aggression, you deal a devastating blow. Strike an opponent with 6 damage. On Failure, your attack goes wild, striking the nearest creature (possibly an ally) for half damage. On a Catastrophe, you lose control completely, lashing out and dealing full damage to the closest ally. Midnight unleashes his shadow magic and combines it with the might of the Black Dog to create a tendril with a massive beast head at the end that tries to take a massive bite out of a target.

**Other Powers**

**Riftymetry (4 AP):** Negates the need for a roll to safely navigate a rift. A power gained from Midnight's time in the Rift Travel & Stitching Department gained through intense research and extending his magic out to the rifts.

**Pathfinder (4 AP):** Roll to discern a safe path. If successful, explain the path ahead. A power gained from Midnight's time in the Rift Travel & Stitching Department. His utilization of it involves combining all of his experience with tracking, navigation and amplifying all his senses with magic until he can visualize the path towards his goal.

    **Double Lariat (2 AP):** Roll the Die

Midnight gained this power from a magic tattoo he received from Reedi's bachelor party.

**Specialty Powers**

**Hope in Darkness:** Midnight has gained a great deal of practice with his shadow abilities and has greater freedom in the shape and form his shadows can take.

In addition having acquired an Amethyst Tooth of Hope, as long as he has the ring with the tooth it will slowly absorb excess energy from his shadow magic and store it away. For each AP he spends on shadow magic, he gains 1 Hope, up to a max of 10. These Hope Points can be spent on various effects.

X Hope: Midnight draws power out of the ring for a agility feat of shadow magic, avoiding an attack against him. X is the damage being negated.
2 AP: Midnight draws power out of the ring for a quick show of power, allowing him to take an additional action on his turn. On a successful roll of 11 or higher you can use this to do another simple task that could be done such as attack, block, grab or other simple actions.
5 Hope: Midnight triggers his transformation into Moonlight Gale. This form gives a massive boost in physical ability, and a living fur cloak that can be used as a weapon. In this form Midnight's shadow magic can be used with no cost and with even greater control, even at range.

**Legendary Powers**

Pending

## Known Aliases

**Moonlight Gale:** Due to the events of Welcome to the World (S2E40), Midnight was one of the individuals who received a tooth from a being called the Ku'klaw. Midnight's tooth contains the element of hope, meant to draw in the fears of others and transform it into hope against those who would threaten the innocent. Though the power of the tooth expired, Midnight turned it into a ring and it is still able to draw from his own magic to power the transformation. In this transformation, Midnight grows in height to 7' 5", bulks up greatly in muscle mass and his fur turns a lavender color. This transformation hasn't seemed to function properly since Midnight acquired the Black Dog spirit, at one point instead conjuring spirits of compassion and other times not functioning at all.

**Wolf Shadowhunter:** Midnight's original alias when working with the Folksong Adventurer Guild. Represented his ability to use shadow magic and hunting skills. It was this alias that led to him eventually acquiring the Black Bone.

**Highnoon Gladiolus:** A name Midnight has given a form Vatna Stein+ created for Midnight using an enchanted trucker hat that turned him into a golden retriever dogfolk as a prank. The hat has lost its magical power though Midnight has kept the hat.

**Curse Eater:** Midnight's current name among Folksong residents due to him so far devouring two cursed objects.

## Relationships

**Adli, Aldebaran Maia:** Despite Adli being massively older than Midnight, he has taken upon himself to be as much a mentor to aem as much as he can due to shared experiences. The two have trained together regular and have been coming up with combo moves to try out should the opportunity arise.

**Akhana Nari:** Akhana and Midnight have mostly had only brief interactions but he has grown to respect her expertise, especially with her assistance in investigating Gibbet. Her help and Lio's praise of her has always made him curious to learn more but there has thus far been little opportunity to do so.

**Caram Bola:** Midnight initially met Caram when he heard that he was creating an orphanage in the Silver Thimble. He had been saving money to do something for the city and had a soft spot for kids and orphans in particular due to his own experiences so he immediately went to donate those savings to Caram's cause. Beyond that they had little interaction until events resulted in an entire shared alternate life with him, Cass, and Caram's sister, Bola in which they were all Godhunters. The shared experience has made him think of Caram as almost like a brother though at the same time the fact that this life didn't actually happen has made him uncertain how to approach this.

**Cash:** Cash tamed the 9/10s of Midnight's shadow that was trapped in the Dream Wyrm's Nightmare realm and had been feeding off of nightmares. Since then his shadow has been attached to Cash leaving a large question in Midnight's mind of if the shadow was still his or if Cash was essentially babysitting his child due to the complexities of how his kind work and the weirdness of the situation. Since then Midnight has taken time to get to know the good doctor and his wife Jellybean and considers them good friends, even going so far as pressuring Cash into being his morning training partner. Both to make certain that Cash is safe from the potential risks of the situation but also because he loves the excuse for keeping his company.

**Lio L. Levon:** One of Midnight's best friends and drinking buddy. Midnight sees him as a kindred spirit who helps keep him in line as well as someone he can trust. Midnight is aware of the crush Lio has on him and even considered reciprocating to some extent but found he didn't quite share the same level of attraction and has personal issues with mixing professional and personal relationships to that extent so he didn't see it as fair to him. Still, Midnight does enjoy teasing Lio, particularly on subjects of relationships and Lio's almost Paladin-like tendencies.

**Pim W. Tinger:** While initially Midnight only knew of her through Lio and his crush on her and assisted in trying to make their first date a good one, they eventually would drink together frequently at the Diving Belle with Pim having a habit of braiding his hair. He eventually opted to keep the braid due to it having a greater visual appeal than the ponytail he previously opted for while in uniform.

**Quet:** When Midnight first met Quet, he feared what the Scholars of the Page represented. The idea that his memories and existence was no longer his own and could be snuffed out just with the tearing of a page. As a result he usually felt uncomfortable around them. However as time went on, Midnight came to realize Quet valued many of the same things he did. To this day he still feels a great deal of guilt for the prejudice he showed them and has since been doing everything in his power to support them in any way he can.

**Royce Vanderbilt:** Midnight considers Royce a rival of sort. They both fought each other in a fighting tournament with Royce winning the championship with Midnight in second place and while he enjoyed the fight he has since made it his goal to surpass Royce. Despite this desire he has been more than willing to listen to Royce's advice on fighting and sought to improve his skills, even still holding onto the bandages Royce left him when it was thought that Royce had died.

**Tsoki Chatterfang:** Midnight's other best friend and drinking buddy among the crew. The wolf feels largely responsible for Tsoki being stranded with the crew due to his involvement in the events that resulted in Tsoki becoming a part of the crew but also respects his combat abilities and seer-like abilities. In many ways he sees his old friend Nilly Nutcracker in Tsoki's personality and can't help but feel like some small part of home was there every time he sees him.
