Tink

Tink is a member of the Ink family. He is a young man with great ambitions to get rich and famous, and have a good time getting there.

## Background

Tink was born and then almost immediately abandoned by his mom, Wink, who didn't like being tied down and much preferred being on the high seas. He was left in the guardianship of his Aunt and Uncles, Sink, Fink, and Ink. However, since Sink and Fink have demanding full time jobs, most of Tink's upbringing was from Ink. 10 years after abandoning him, his mother would find her way back to town once again, with another child about to be born. Tink was overjoyed to see his mom but didn't get much time to spend with her, or even an explanation for why she wasn't around, as she left as soon as the baby was born once again.

It was around this age that Tink discovered the big tree, and he found Clott hiding inside of it. Tink introduced himself and they two quickly became friends. Tink didn't mind his mom not being around so much now that he had his new sister, Pink, and new friend, Clott.

## Personality

Tink is, at his heart, a con man. Most of his time is spent coming up or executing various schemes to get him and his friends rich and famous. Most weevils would describe him as annoying and hard to be around, though the few friends he has seem to enjoy his company. He has built himself a horrible reputation among the other weevils, all impacted by plans gone wrong or being cheated by him in some way. He doesn't have much going for him but he doesn't let that break his stride and he holds his head up high and just enjoys what life throws at him.

## Relationships

### Clott

Tink has known Clott since they were kids, and they are inseparable. Best friends until the very end, they are rarely ever seen apart. Some (most) people think Tink is a bad influence on Clott, but Tink is always very considerate of his friend and would never make him do anything he didn't want to. The two were even somewhat raised together, as Clott would usually hang out at Tink's house for days or weeks, the two are practically brothers. Tink also sticks his neck out for Clott and usually ends up taking most of the fall so Clott doesn't have to.

### Bunt

Tink and Bunt are a dangerous combination. The two are usually on the same wavelength, though Tink can sometimes be caught off guard by the dark depths of Bunt's conniving mind. Bunt loves to help with Tink's schemes and offers her information gathering services to him in exchange for a percentage of the haul. Tink admires Blunt quite a bit, loving her cut throat nature and sharing similar goals of wealth with her.

### Posh

Tink enjoys Posh's company most of the time, but every once in a while gets frustrated with her high class persona. He doesn't really mesh well with her, and honestly only hangs around with her at all because she's Clott and Bunt's friend. Though he certainly doesn't dislike her, and feels a lot of sympathy for her having to live under Dosh's thumb.

### Ink

Ink practically raised Tink since he was a child. After his mother left, he was placed into the care of his 2 uncles Ink and Fink, and 1 aunt Sink. Both Fink and Sink were very busy with full time demanding jobs, which left the bulk of the child care to Ink. Deep down, Tink loves Ink and is very grateful to have him in his life. Though he also finds Ink boring, stuffy, annoying, stiff, and stale. Tink ends up getting on Ink's nerves rather often, trashing his house, messing with his poems and screenplays, constaly asking to borrow money. Much like everyone else in the bin, Tink frustrates Ink more often than not.

### Pink

Tink's little sister who he helped raise after their mom left. He loves his little sister and is more than happy to make time for her, encourage her, help her out, and offer an ear. He does the typical caring big brother things, reading her stories, scaring her bullies away, sneaking candy and treats to her when Ink's not looking. The two are very close.

### Wink

Tink remembers very little about his mother and what she was like. He's learned bits and pieces about her life from Ink and various other weevils around the bin who knew her. He admires her and looks up to her a lot, wanting to live a life as cool as she does. He has conflicting feelings about her leaving, but has buried those deep, deep, DEEEEEEP down inside of him and only ever talks about how cool and awesome his mom is.
