Flint Sprocket (🐒 Creature-Crossing)

Flint is _

★ Sparrow's assistant at the Brewing Cauldron (Collects her ingredients, stirs her cauldron, and keeps the log notes... Sells extra ingredients on the side for sandwich moneys)

★ "Oooh, that's an interesting theory... Say, why don't you drink it and let's see what happens!"

★ If Flint were human, he would be Taiwanese. He speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese in addition to English

★ If he were a Pokémon, he would be a Passimian. His nature would be Impish and his IV would be Very Finicky

★ Interested in becoming a witch someday but would never, EVER steal an amulet from Sparrow out of fear she'd reject him as her assistant and leave him on his own

★ Genuinely sees himself as friendly and struggles to recognize the creepy vibes he gives off. Has a heart full of love

★ A copy-cat to his core and yet legitimately believes he's better and more unique than all of you

★ He has a doctorate in acupuncture and is convinced his skill with needles carried over to his sewing abilities

★ Owns too many flowers

★ Almost always speaks in a number code system when referring to in-game items, good luck deciphering those riddles

★ Confirmed rival of Dr. NPC for reasons I'm sworn to secrecy about. Allegedly Flint applied for the position of Lilypad's doctor, but Poach chose Dr. NPC instead for some strange reason, forcing Flint to restrict his... help... exclusively to Nightshade Town smh

★ Doesn't like familiars very much as he considers them dirty thieves despite the fact his fox familiar, Ashes, is exactly that. When Ashes speaks telepathically with him, she would be best described as a spoiled teenage brat who feels like "no one understands her" and yet she quietly craves his approval and brings him gifts in return for praise

★ Flint's official "home" is his yellow Jeep, parked suspiciously near the edge of a small cliff over the river that cuts through Hollow Forest. He lives there alone with Ashes

★ As a running gag, Flint has no concept that Val or Val's Salon exist and this definitely won't be important to remember why would I bury this halfway down his trivia if it was important

★ He wears the lantern to check who's a raider when they approach him, and also because he's easily spooked by people sneaking up from behind. The lantern is partly how he's avoided being raidered despite living in Hollow Forest, and he knows this all too well

★ His teenage daughter lives with her rhino bf and never writes him and his ex-wife moved a few solar systems away

★ Even though Flint's goal is to save up enough money to buy a witch amulet legitimately, if you ever gifted him one he'd turn around and sell it for a sandwich
