Keath Mallet lore post!!!

Childhood: He met bob when he was 9 (bob would’ve been about 12 because in this au bob is about 35 I think?), they met in private school. They shared interest in musical theatre, and were both cast out as weird kids. When Keath was 14 (Bob would be 17), he had to move away. He and Bob had promised they’d see each other again someday. Keath changed though.

Teen years/early 20’s: Throughout the years Keath had to go to several doctors about his mental health, which was slowly declining as well as his physical. By 22, he has been diagnosed with OCD, autism, anxiety, depression, POTS, and selective mutism. He tried to get through it, but things were tough. By 23, he had to use a cane due to chronic pain in his legs and his POTS.

Moving back to Springfield/meeting in prison: He moved back to Springfield when he was 31, and lived a pretty peaceful life for a few months. He got arrested and spent 4 months in prison shortly after for murder, except he didn’t remember doing it, and no one believed him. His cellmate, to his surprise, was his old friend Bob, now known as Sideshow Bob. He was pleasantly surprised to see Bob, but Bob couldn’t recognize him at first, he looked really different (Keath’s hair was a bit longer, and red when he was a kid). After they got reacquainted though, they were inseparable.

Aftermath: After Keath finished his time, he made a plan for Bob to escape, and come stay with him at his house. The plan played out, and Bob since the lives with Keath. Most of the towns people know, but they realized Keath does good for Bob, so they weren’t to worried.

Occupation/work: For work, Keath is a daycare worker, who takes care of children ages 1-4. Because of the occupation, Keath had become acquainted with the Simpsons family, due to taking care of Maggie at daycare. Much to Bob’s dismay, he finds Lisa and Bart adorable, and quite sweet. Although he only sees them on occasion when they come along to pick up Maggie.

Hobby/passion: His favourite pass time is Art. He loves to draw, paint, and especially animate. He also sings, so that’s a cool plus. He spends the most time animating though, and because Bob has a love for art of many forms, he supports the passion in both words, and financially (he has a bit of wealth from his mothers late career). For Keath’s 32nd birthday, Bob bought him a Cintiq pro 17 for animation, Keath cried a lot.

Style/music taste: Keath has a pretty basic style in terms of clothing, he dresses more alternative/grunge. He was worried at first about Bob judging his style both in clothing and music, but he was actually very open and supportive of the style.

Some additional information that I think is cool is his father is the late Henry mallet (from the 2010 Australian series “Spirited”), hence the last name. Personally, I made this into the lore to include something else I’m interested in, i thought it was cool. Henry’s career and style is what made Keath’s the way it is, having a British punk star as a father doesn’t have no effect ;)

I spent my day writing this on paper, but here it is! There’s more to his character, but here’s the surface :)

Finally made the final design for one of the protagonists of the story of DSIC \(^_^)/

She/her, full name is Leah Corvus. She is around her mid 20s. I wanted to make her look like a mysterious detective with the essence of pretentiousness (the fedora and aviators). Her looks make her enemies underestimate her strength, to which she takes advantage of.
