Personality:
Cider is a very sweet Koopa, always obsessed with autumn and fall. Just the way the air feels, how all the leaves look and how many sweet treats and drinks are around during these times. Cider is calm, quiet and loves to talk to anyone he meets. Cider loves quiet music and learning all about other people's hobbies. His way of expressing love is always gift giving! He loves to gift homemade scarves and apple pies to anyone he thinks deserve it. He can be shy as well, but quick to open up. He does his best to be understanding and caring about everybody because he knows that anyone could be going through anything. He shows so much concern for others that sometimes he might even forget to take care of himself but tries not to do that too often. He loves going to pumpkin patches and his favorite food and flavor is apple!

Backstory:
Cider found himself at Bowsers castle at a young age, not really sure why or how he got there. He grew up being trained to fight but it was soon realized that he was not really the most capable of fighting as he was always too distracted by other things such as leaves, food and other random things that caught his attention. He didn't seem to care for much but by the tine fall comes around, it is obvious that he has a huge love for the season. He decorates himself in fall colors and outfits and makes and shares all the fall themed sweets one could even think of. He doesn't have a job as a chef in Bowsers castle like Lolly does, but he has learned to get to know Lolly over the years as they bake many falls themed sweets together like pumpkin pie, apple cider cookies and so much more. They even work together when making Halloween themed sweets. Cider also would love to get to know Bug more, as he wants to start planning Halloween events with him each year. Something else Cider enjoys doing is scrapbooking. He loves to collect the most beautiful leaves he finds outside during fall and preserve them in a book for years to come as he writes about them and draws doodles around them all the time. Cider is also an amazing secret keeper, all things you tell him will always be safe with him. He plans to only improve his skills as a baker to hopefully someday be able to join Lolly as a chef in Bowsers castle's kitchen. Cider is very responsible as well; he is always the one that ends up cleaning up after any events he hosts or helps host around the castle. His temporary job here since he can't fight is to cater most of the events held at the castle, whether it be for a large lunch or a celebration after they've successfully done a defeat. One of his closer friends is Maplebones, they love to explore beautiful places during the fall together and share pumpkin pie and sweet drinks! They trust each other very much, they almost have a sibling like relationship.
