Cedric Reed (Ghost Form)

(they/them)

The ghost of Cedric Reed. No one alive can see them but Winston, strange. if they try to leave the town, a red chain starts to form around their leg, seeming to lead to nowhere, and pulling them back. It also prevents them from moving on into the afterlife.

Their appearance reflects how they died. They were caught in a house fire cause by a fallen candle during a fight turned physical with their brother, quickly engulfing the home in flames and burning it to the ground. As a ghost, their white fur changed to resemble melting candle wax, also removing any markings, and the rest of their body became permanently stained black from ashes. Parts of their body still remain aflame. Their eyes became an empty glare, only glowing bright purple. Cedric's early demise has caused their ghost to be trapped to the town the manor once stood, with no one able to see them.

Cedric goes through a pretty major personality change after death. Left with no one but himself, but sometimes a strange someone known as "The Guide", they were able to reflect on themself. They still remain a bit stuck up and pretentious, but without their parents, they are more likely to side with Winston, attempting to gain support from him, and more likely to defend him from things.
