Tako

(ISFP-T) Tako is a guy who's decently easy to get along with, and enjoys the company of their close friends more than anyone else. They're always cracking jokes, and loves to make people laugh. They're quite socially anxious, and doesn't like to be out in places where there's a lot of people very often, so they spend most of their time to themself.

  Tako is very generous and sweet to her loved ones and is super quick to gift things to people. Unfortunately, she's always robbing herself of a good time, and is extremely avoidant about making plans or going to visit friends.

•  He was born in Inkopolis, but moved away due to way too much commotion + finally getting the money to leave.
•   Their first language is Inkling, and he's trying really hard to learn Octarian.
•   He also used to work as a cashier at Makomart. Quitting that job was the best thing he ever could have done for himself, but at least it made him a bit less socially inept. In addition to this, it also helped him become more confident that he isn't stupid, actually. (Every shift was a reminder that he wasn't the stupidest one in the building)
•   Somehow won a pretty decent amount of money playing the lottery; this is what they used to get settled in the Splatlands, and get themself a small home. -- He isn't really a gambler, but he just decided to play occasionally, and got very very lucky.
•   Funny enough, their artwork became popularized online from a few stupid memes they've drawn.

  Tako lives in a small house in the Splatlands with her two pet slugs and works as an artist from home. They have a small business, working on Tableturf card commissions for the most part. They also make custom merchandise and painted jackets.

  She likes to spend most of her time at home, working on her hobbies. Sometimes she'll get motivated enough to go out on a nature walk and do some photography, and take reference pictures for her art.

  They're trying to learn Octarian on DuoInko, but they're really struggling trying to learn how to form sentences really badly. They've got the grasp on a good chunk of vocabulary, but they are definitely avoiding trying to actually speak any Octarian. They've got a streak of over 600 days!

   Met Atlas at the bar he works at, and thought he was really pretty and made him a custom Tableturf card. He appreciated it, and called her cool in his book. They've definitely fooled around a few times, but they're still not really anything more than friends.

   Tako adopted two slugs from Deja, which were particularly some of Deja's favorites, so they've exchanged contact information so Tako can send updates about them. She often sends him pictures of them sleeping.

• Very good at impressions -- they mirror everyone's voices a lot.
• Really bad stomach issues :(
• He can NOT stand if his hands aren't clean at ALL TIMES. Always carrying hand sanitizer.
• Maximalist interior is his favorite.
• She hates the name Tako, and coined the nickname "Toko" when they were in school. Tako isn't a deadname to them and they still answer to it, but it's just way too boring and common.
• Surprisingly good people skills, despite the anxiety.
• Sandwich of choice: panko-breaded unagi, green onion, seaweed, and cream cheese sauce on a pretzel bun.
• She always includes a little something extra when people commission her.
• Enjoys watching Marble's streams, but is too shy to participate in chat. Donates almost every time, though!
