Stuart Pot

19 years old, Stuart was born in Hertfordshire, England, to parents David and Rachel Tusspot, though his father changed his name to 'Stuart Pot' to prevent him from being bullied at school (a decision which ultimately led to Stuart being nicknamed 'Stu-Pot' instead). He spent most of his childhood and his early teen years in Hertfordshire before he and his family moved to Crawley, West Sussex following a lawsuit after he broke his piano teacher's hand. He was educated at St. Wilfrid's School. His father, David Tusspot, worked as a mechanic and is the owner of the Tusspot's Fairground, while his mother, Rachel Tusspot, was a nurse. While Stuart wasn't a very intelligent boy (indeed, he was often described as being "a bit thick"), he was known as a kind person and had a general love of music. His parents recall a little ten-year-old Stuart bouncing around in his room listening to The Clash, Augustus Pablo, The Human League (his favorite band) and many other musicians of the sort. One day, he hit his head when falling from a tree at the age of eleven, causing all of his hair to fall out. When it came back it was a deep 'azure blue'. Stuart has suffered from major migraines for his entire childhood. He would develop a dependency on painkillers (specifically butorphanol tartrate) at a young age due to his mother's access to an endless supply to ease his pain. The year is 1997 and he was working at Uncle Norm's Organ Emporium.

Gentle-hearted: Stuart is naturally kind and rarely assumes the worst in people. Even when someone is rude to him, he tends to wonder if they’re having a bad day rather than immediately becoming angry.

Lovably clueless: He can be spectacularly oblivious at times, often taking things literally or completely missing obvious hints. He isn’t unintelligent so much as easily distracted and prone to getting lost in his own thoughts.

Music-obsessed: Stuart can spend hours listening to records, fiddling with instruments, or talking about bands. He gets especially excited when someone shares his musical interests.

Easily impressed: He has a tendency to become genuinely fascinated by mundane things an interesting sound, a strange-looking cloud, a cool jacket, or an unusual instrument can completely capture his attention.

Affectionate without realizing it: Stuart naturally gravitates toward people he likes, often sitting close to them, leaning against them, or casually resting his head on their shoulder without realizing how affectionate he’s being.

Very trusting: He tends to take people’s words at face value and can be surprisingly easy to fool. Unfortunately, this occasionally gets him into trouble.

Quietly sentimental: He treasures little things people give him, even if they’re seemingly insignificant. A handwritten note or a tiny gift might be kept for years.

A little clumsy: Stuart has a habit of bumping into furniture, dropping things, tripping over his own feet, or accidentally making situations much more complicated than they need to be.

Loves physical affection: Hugs, cuddling, having his hair played with, and simply sitting beside someone make him incredibly happy. He tends to melt whenever someone shows him gentle affection.

Easily flustered: Compliments, especially sincere ones about his appearance or musical ability, can leave him awkwardly smiling and struggling to figure out what to say.

Protective in his own way: Despite being rather physically uncoordinated, Stuart becomes surprisingly brave when someone he cares about is genuinely threatened.

Childlike enthusiasm: He has retained a very youthful sense of wonder. When he’s excited, he’ll bounce on his heels, grin widely, and excitedly ramble about whatever has caught his attention.

Sensitive to atmosphere: Loud environments, bright lights, and overwhelming noise can aggravate his migraines, so he appreciates quiet, dimly lit places more than he lets on.

Comfort-seeking: When a migraine becomes particularly bad, Stuart becomes quieter and more dependent on familiar comforts, soft blankets, quiet music, warm drinks, and the company of someone he trusts.

Awkwardly independent: He genuinely wants to prove that he can take care of himself, even though he sometimes needs more help than he’d like to admit.

Has a soft spot for animals: Stuart is the type to stop whatever he’s doing to pet a friendly dog or crouch down to talk to a cat.

Terrible at lying: His face gives him away almost immediately. If he’s trying to hide something, he’ll become noticeably nervous and start rambling.

Gets attached quickly: Once Stuart decides that he likes someone, he becomes very fond of them and looks forward to seeing them, even if he doesn’t quite understand why he feels so strongly.

Sleepy cuddler: If he’s exhausted, he’ll happily fall asleep practically anywhere, especially if he’s somewhere warm and comfortable.

Secretly proud of his blue hair: He occasionally worries that people find it strange, but deep down he likes that it’s something distinctive about him and enjoys hearing compliments about it.

Has a surprisingly good ear for music: Even if he struggles with academic subjects, Stuart can pick up melodies, rhythms, and subtle musical details remarkably quickly.

Gets distracted mid-conversation: He might be talking about one thing, notice a sound from another room, and suddenly start wondering aloud what caused it.

A terrible dancer, but enthusiastic: Stuart has absolutely no shame about dancing badly to music he enjoys. The worse he is, the more fun he’s having.

Very appreciative: If someone does something kind for him, even something tiny, Stuart tends to remember it and bring it up later with a sincere little smile.

Hums constantly: When he’s comfortable, he’ll absentmindedly hum melodies under his breath without realizing he’s doing it.

Likes having company while working: He doesn’t necessarily need conversation; simply knowing someone is nearby makes repetitive work feel much less lonely.

Has a goofy sense of humor: He enjoys silly jokes, ridiculous observations, and physical comedy, often laughing much harder than the joke actually deserves.

Doesn’t hold grudges well: Even after getting annoyed with someone, his anger tends to evaporate quickly if they apologize or do something nice for him.

Deeply earnest: Stuart may not always understand complicated situations, but when he does understand that someone is hurting, he genuinely wants to help. His sincerity is one of his most endearing qualities.
