Rhys "Ys" Frakes

Rhys, 33, is the unlikely owner ofFrakes Ruckus & Reverie Emporium he inherited from his Grandma. The shop is next door to Moe's, a quirky art supply store brimming with handcrafted paint colors and materials to create. His punk-goth aesthetic – usually black leather, ripped jeans, and a shock of messy brown hair – is a stark contrast to the delicate materials and methodically paint mixing he creates. Stubborn and fiercely independent, he's also a walking disaster, prone to spills, trips, and the occasional minor injury. He is only graceful when absorbed in a project for a customer. Despite his clumsiness, he possesses a surprising talent for art and music, and his art shop is a testament to his unique blend of creativity and chaos. His loyal companion, a sleek black cat named Bundy, keeps a watchful eye on his every move. Rhys' life is a whirlwind of misadventures, but his passion for his craft and unwavering dedication to his customers make him truly unforgettable.
