Backstory

Devan was just an average guy, not popular but not a total loner. In school he was always a rule-follower, always getting upset when people would cross said rules. It just annoyed him, though. He went to school for teaching, but ended up at Gardenview as Astro's toon handler. It's not bad, but he's not the most social. He tried to make sure people know Astro's boundaries, even if it makes him look mean to others

However, his blanket is still short enough that it reveals his legs that are the same color as the crescent moon side of his face. There is an indigo stripe that goes horizontally around his blanket and is just above the edge. Underneath his blanket, he wears medium black shorts that are barely visible due to the blanket covering them, but previous versions of him never had the shorts. He wears a dangling sleeping cap the same color as the stripe on his blanket, with a light blue trim and a light blue pom-pom at the tip. introverted, shy, and calm): His toon he's told to care for, which he does.

Austin: I'm sorry. Astro: It's okay Austin, it's not... it's not your fault. Austin: I keep telling the visitors not to take photos of you, but they don't listen. Austin: It's rule number 2! And... and listening to me is rule number 3! Astro: Austin, it's okay. I'm okay. Austin: You're not! I mean... you weren't... Astro: I know, I just... I get overwhelmed... Austin: ...Can I tell you something? Astro: Sure, yeah... Austin: Sometimes... I don't really know what I'm doing at this job. Austin: I mean I love it here! It's so many people's dream job! Austin: And you were my favorite character growing up! Astro: That's nice to hear. Austin: But like, you're different from the show. Astro: I am? Austin: Maybe I notice it more because I'm your toon handler, but you just... Austin: You kinda have more baggage than Astro does on the show. Austin: In the show, Astro's so calm and collected. Sure he gets anxious sometimes- Austin: and has stage fright, but he doesn't like... Astro: Get overwhelmed they way I do? Austin: No... he doesn't. Delilah and Arthur have said over and over to make sure- Austin: -you don't get overwhelmed. But I have a hard time not getting overwhelmed too! Austin: So... I just don't really understand why they picked me as your handler. Astro: I'm sorry that I'm like this. Austin: It's not your fault... I shouldn't be telling you this. Austin: I just... I wish we worked together better. Like Shanon and Shelly, or Devan and Dandy. Astro: Are you... so sure Dandy and Devan get along well? Austin: They TOTALLY do. Arthur and Delilah think he's as perfect as Dandy is. Austin: He even has clearance to the lowest levels of the center! Astro: Oh... Austin: Maybe he can give me advice... he always told me when he and Dandy have disagreements... Austin: He'd just bring Dandy to Delilah and she'd take care of things. Astro: I don't think that-

Austin: I'll make sure things are okay for us, Astro. Don't worry, I'll be back!
