Trivia
- Does the face thing on purpose to creep people out because it's funny :o3
- smells like either stale birthday cake or vintage perfumes, usually depending on where you meet them
- "blood" looks like a photorealistic sky with clouds. It's probably not actually blood. Their bruises look like smudges of TV static.
- hates getting dirty, but eats with its hands a lot.

Very poorly disguised as a foreign visitor to the spaces. At a glance, the displaced might think it's one of them, until it laughs a little too loud and its voice comes out as staticky canned sitcom laughter, or it scrapes a knee and bleeds the image of a realistic sky. It's usually pretty friendly, though very mischievous and only sometimes helpful. If it likes you, you can summon it by singing songs it likes or offering art supplies or sweets. Its priority is to have fun, and it can usually be found in bright, colorful, nostalgic spaces, but that's not actually where you want to run into it. It's better to find it in the darker, more uncanny areas.

Despite his near-permanent smile and tendency to show up in sunny playgrounds and neighborhoods, some of those who are familiar with him prefer to avoid him, because Rat is connected to a much less friendly entity. King Dark is known only for being a scourge on the truly dark spaces and anyone who ends up there. The resemblance runs deeper than the face that appears in gaps and shadows; He usually comes across as weird, and when he's in bright light for too long, he gets overstimulated and starts behaving erratically. While he's never directly harmed anyone, his mood tends to warp the spaces around him, and he hates silence - He can rapidly turn an area into a loud, non-euclidean nightmare when he's upset, to the detriment of both people and entities alike. He doesn't like hurting people, so he makes an attempt to not do that when he has company, though most predatory creatures in the spaces flee at the sight of him - or the music he likes, through the sound systems or audio devices in the area when he's nearby - so he may or may not be more of a threat to them.

It's believed that what everyone sees isn't actually their real appearance, but instead, what their face looks like when obscured is more true to what they actually are. Their body changes with their mood, but their shadow face is always the same, and tends to appear easier in the dark, where they're most comfortable.

Design notes

Butt marks can vary - sometimes it's just freckles, sometimes a rainbow and clouds, and sometimes outlines of stars
All rainbow markings, paw pads, nose and mouth can be varying rainbow palettes, usually matching the space or what she's wearing
the color of its hidden facial features are the same regardless of lighting
uses hair chalk on the blonde part of her hair

Wardrobe

He's ALWAYS wearing his crown, but otherwise, he can wear all kinds of things in any rainbow palette. They're usually kidcore themed, but can lean into arcadecore, babycore or vintage aesthetics.

Casual

Collared shirts, hoodies, sweaters and shorts. Rarely wears long pants. Sometimes wears shoes, usually not. Usually has stickers on face and bandaids on visible body.

"Formal"

Not exactly formal, she appears in these outfits when feeling particularly showy or making a big impression. Can also wear dresses, but often picks some variation of these two specific outfits. She usually defaults to the blue one
