Runningstitch

Like any other Chiborb, he's a short and round two-legged Pokemon. A running stitch goes along the length of his body and the edges of his thighs, while a thicker stitch seperates his front and back halves. At his behind, he has a stem-like tail that ends in a rather small leaf. Hanging under this is something like a price tag that says "2 pokedollars" on it.

Unique to Runningpaw is a "tear" in his back, from which a bit of black fluff protrudes. His eyes, mounted onto stitched-on eyestalks, seem to be made of plastic. His left eye has an X on it rather than the usual iris and can't express; it can only look wherever his good eye does.

Bred by a two legs for a Contest Star, he was quickly marked to be sold off when they saw the "tear" in his back, that he was blind in one eye, and his "natural" price tag. He was bought by a family, being given the name "Cotton", but their daughter treated him like he was a secondhand toy. She eventually released him, and he escaped from their backyard.

A PayapaClan patrol found him a week later, sick with greencough, alone, and being threatened by a group of rogues.

They chased the rogues off and brought him back to their clan. Once he recovered, he convinced Curlstar to allow him to stay, becoming an apprentice and accepting the name Runningpaw.
