Crumbs is a warm and welcoming individual, their personality hitting you like the warm scent of freshly baked goods! They have a kind and nurturing presence, already looking out for their friends and being the comfort they deserve. Their biggest past time is baking, creating a wide array of sweetie treats to share with their friends, coworkers and more. Crumbs is super creative, they always make strange and questionable alterations to their recipes which (sometimes) make the end product tastier, or more unique! Crumbs is a bit sensitive to criticism, even if they know that they need criticism to improve. With them baking so often, they can be a bit overindulgent leading to very not fun sugar crashes. 

They also like gaming, as well listening to music, doing arts and crafts from Pinterest and collecting vintage kitchenware and quirky cookie cutters. Crumbs especially loves feel-good pop, indie pop, acoustic, upbeat jazz, and Motown and soul music. Their favourite games are Stardew Valley, Cooking Mama, The Sims, Harvest Moon, Minecraft, and lots n lots of Mario games! They are a youthful and playful spirit that wants to hold this energy until they drop dead. 

Crumbs is extremely empathetic, they can’t help but put themself in other people’s shoes, and always want to help solve other people’s problems, even if there isn’t anything they can do to help. They keep their optimism about them, always looking for the silver lining. Sometimes this can get obnoxious to some people. If they are pessimistic, they might have trouble dealing with Crumbs. 

On the other hand, Crumbs can be a bit of a procrastinator with bad time management, which doesn‘t feed into their job very well. They are an event planner for a company called ‘Party Favours’, hired out to organise birthday parties, weddings, reunions, graduations etc. They are a newcomer to the scene, but they just love the joyful expressions on the party-er‘s faces. But their dedication to their hobbies means they struggle juuuuuust a little with getting the balance right. Related to this, they have a lot of issues with perfectionism and overcommitting to things, which sometimes causes unecessary stress, frustration and exhaustion. They are overly trusting, which allows them to form meaningful relationships quickly, but it also means their kindness and trust is taken advantage of by bad friends. They’re also a scatterbrained little silly stinker. 

Crumbs loves puns and whistles a lot while they work! They offer comfort foods to all of their friends when they are down. :( They have the habit of adjusting their bandana and wristbands, especially taking comfort in the colours and symbolism of the bands. Crumbs definitely watches wholesome animal videos, baking fails, heartwarming animal rescues, bloopers, outtakes and cooking shows.

Crumbs owns quite a few little sentimental trinkets. They have a lucky cookie cutter that they won in a raffle at a baking fair with their family when they were just starting out with the hobby. They also have an old, well-worn baking apron that they have had for absolutely YONKS and has somehow survived this long. It is coated with stains, that Crumbs calls ‘Personality Marks’. They also have a special cookie jar they got for their 18th birthday from their Grammy.
