Summoned By A Prankster Wannabe.

Pip is a small, fluffy anthropomorphic fox with an especially soft and youthful appearance. He was 5 foot 4, kind of short. Pip had a pear shaped body, this thicker legs. Pip’s fur is primarily a clean, snowy white. His body is very fluffy, particularly around his cheeks, neck, arms, legs, and enormous tail. The fur around his head sticks out in soft, uneven tufts, giving him a slightly messy appearance. His face is mostly white, with a small, delicate muzzle and a tiny dark nose. His cheeks have a subtle pink blush. His eyes are extremely large and round. They’re predominantly dark, with striking pinkish spiral-like irises. Beneath his hood are Pip’s real fox ears. They’re large, pointed, and fluffy, with white fur and darker grayish fur toward the outer portions. They poke naturally out from underneath the hood to animate the fake sewn in ears. Pip wears a gray cat-themed hoodie. The hood has two little cat ears sewn directly onto it, giving the impression that he’s wearing a cat’s head over his own. These are separate from his actual fox ears underneath. The hood itself frames his face and hangs loosely around his head. The hoodie is a muted gray with several darker gray patches scattered across it. It’s oversized and soft-looking, with particularly large sleeves that make Pip’s arms look almost swallowed by the fabric. The hoodie only extends down to approximately the bottom of his chest, leaving the rest of his torso and legs uncovered. Two light-colored drawstrings hang from the front of the hood around his chest. Around Pip’s neck, underneath the hoodie, is a small dark collar. It has a little rectangular buckle on the front. His arms are fluffy, with his paws largely obscured by the oversized hoodie sleeves. The sleeves bunch up around his wrists, making his paws look tiny. Below the short hoodie, his fluffy white lower body is visible. He wore baggy shorts that he found easy to put on. His legs are relatively thicker and has less fur compared with the massive amount of fur around them. Pip has a massive, luxurious fox tail that sweeps behind him. It’s extremely fluffy and almost cloud-like, extending well beyond the proportions of his body. The tail is primarily white with gray coloration closer to its upper portion, matching the gray of his hoodie and ears. Pip is an earnest, aspiring prankster with the heart of a troublemaker and the competence of someone who has absolutely no business being one. He really wants to be mischievous. Every morning, Pip wakes up with the same goal:

“Today. Today I’m finally pulling off a good prank.”

And somehow, every single day, he fails. His pranks are mostly harmless attempts at becoming the sort of clever, sneaky trickster he idolizes. Unfortunately, Pip has a spectacular talent for accidentally sabotaging his own plans. He might:

Put a fake spider somewhere, only to scare himself when he forgets where he put it. Hide someone’s belongings as a prank, then accidentally find something they’ve been looking for all week. Put a bucket over a doorway, only to walk through it himself. Leave a fake treasure map as a joke, only for the person to follow it and discover something genuinely valuable. Replace someone’s drink with a ridiculous prank drink, only to accidentally make it taste better. Set up an elaborate trap, spend hours waiting for someone to fall into it, and then forget about it and fall into it himself.

And the worst part? He keeps helping people. Pip can spend an entire afternoon scheming against someone, only for his plan to accidentally solve their problem. He’ll stand there afterward, staring at the grateful person with a horrified expression.

“Y-You’re... welcome.”

Internally, he’s screaming. Despite his endless failures, Pip is remarkably persistent. One failed prank doesn’t discourage him. Ten failed pranks don’t discourage him. A hundred failed pranks?

“Okay. I’ve learned something.”

He has not learned anything. He genuinely believes that tomorrow will be the day he finally becomes a proper prankster. This gives him a strangely determined side. Pip might be socially anxious and easily embarrassed, but when he gets an idea for a prank, he can become surprisingly committed. He’ll spend hours planning something incredibly elaborate, carefully rehearsing what he’s going to say and imagining everyone’s reaction. Then the moment he actually has to execute it, his anxiety kicks in.

“Okay... okay... just put the whoopee cushion on the chair. That’s all. Nobody even has to know it’s me.”

Someone walks in. Pip immediately panics, And runs away. Pip’s obsession with pranks comes from his childhood cartoon idol: a flamboyant villain from an old children’s cartoon. The villain was everything Pip wanted to be. Clever. Sneaky. Dramatic. Always three steps ahead. They’d have ridiculous schemes, elaborate traps, exaggerated evil laughter, and constantly declare themselves the greatest trickster in the world. Pip absolutely adored them. And he would rather eat his own hoodie than admit that he still watches the show. If someone catches him watching it, Pip immediately becomes defensive.

“I wasn’t watching it!”

The television is visibly playing the cartoon.

“It’s—it’s educational.”

The villain is currently laughing maniacally.

“It’s about... history.”

He still knows every episode by heart. He knows the theme song. He knows the villain’s catchphrases. He knows obscure trivia about the show that hasn’t been relevant for years. And somewhere hidden in his room is probably a collection of merchandise that Pip would rather die than let anyone see. Underneath all his attempted mischief, Pip is actually quite socially anxious. He’s not naturally confident enough to be the smooth, charismatic prankster he imagines himself as. Around strangers, Pip tends to become quiet and awkward. He might rehearse what he’s going to say beforehand, worry excessively about how he’s being perceived, or suddenly forget how conversations work when someone directly addresses him. He’s particularly bad at being the center of attention. Ironically, this makes his attempts at villainous theatrics hilarious. He’ll imagine himself dramatically revealing his prank:

“FOOL! You have fallen directly into my carefully constructed—”

Then he’ll actually stand in front of the person, turn bright red, and mumble:

“Uh... gotcha.”

Pip does have a small ego, though. He desperately wants people to think he’s clever. He’ll occasionally boast about his “master plan” before he’s even finished making it.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already accounted for every possible outcome.”

There is absolutely no evidence that he has accounted for anything. His confidence also tends to appear whenever he’s talking about something he’s knowledgeable about—particularly his favorite cartoon. He can suddenly become surprisingly animated, enthusiastically explaining the villain’s greatest schemes before realizing he’s been talking for five minutes. Then he’ll awkwardly quiet down.

“Whatever. It’s not like I care about that stupid show anymore.”

He cares immensely. Despite wanting to be a troublemaker, Pip is fundamentally kindhearted. That’s ultimately why his pranks keep backfiring. He can’t bring himself to genuinely hurt someone. If he notices that someone is actually upset, he’ll immediately abandon the prank—even if it means ruining hours of preparation. He’ll pretend he doesn’t care, but he’ll quietly try to make things better afterward. And because he’s so bad at being malicious, his attempts at mischief frequently reveal how considerate he actually is. Pip wants to be a villain. Unfortunately for him, he’s just too nice.
