    Equipment: Flox doesn't come armored with very much. He is dressed as you would expect any normal Kokiri to be dressed, only with significantly less green. His brown, somewhat tattered tunic and shorts are bound to him by a leather belt strapped around his waist. On his feet he wears the standard brown leather boots common to Kokiri, rimmed with White Wolfos fur. On his head he wears a Wolfos pelt cloak cut in half to accommodate his small size.

    Flox does not wear any sort of armor, relying solely on maneuverability for defense. Strapped to his right side by his belt is his extraordinary Gale Boomerang made out of hard Boreal wood and adorned with a single glimmering diamond in the center and various carvings that suggest the movement of wind. His less-used weapon is an iron dagger he keeps strapped to his left side. This blade is solely used for hunting or emergencies to avoid spilling blood when it isn't necessary. Finally, he carries around lantern holding a Blue Flame to keep a cold temperature around him wherever he goes.

    Pet: N/A

    Appearance: If it hadn't been for his curse, Flox would look no different than any other Kokiri. He stands at a perfect 5 feet height and weighs a little under 90 pounds, and has pointed ears. Unlike the rest of his brethren, his frigid skin is an inhuman icy blue shade, and his hair is an unkempt tuft of snow white hair that often bangs down to hide his mischievous hazel eyes. Flox normally wears a smirk across his face--a kind of expression that screams childish pranks and misadventures despite his lax demeanor.

    Personality: Despite his true age of 68 and being deceptively intelligent, Flox is perfectly content with being a child. He's often described as cocky and smug, if not also somewhat lazy. His concern, first and foremost, is his own amusement. If it will bore him, he doesn't want to be bothered, and will sometimes go out of his way to salvage some sort of excitement from any situation, even if it means getting himself in trouble with pranks. Flox's second love is punching things. Ever since he learned the Yeti's infamous technique, he's become completely infatuated with giving his enemies an icy knuckle sandwich, which bred an enjoyment for battle against monsters (and any adult that makes fun of him). Despite this, he's not entirely selfish and a lot of times he's perfectly content with relaxing in the snowy mountains of Snowhead, away from people who would give him strange looks. He's grown quite comfortable being alone, though playing alone quickly brings boredom, and the lack of friends outside of the Yeti brings him a sense loneliness. Sometimes, all he wishes to be is a normal Kokiri again and go back to the forest, though Flox's bitter memories of being shunned reinforces a childish hatred for the Kokiri back home, reminding him that he's better off being alone.

    Background: Flox was always an oddity even back when he lived in the Kokiri Forest, being a boy without a fairy companion. He was teased and shunned as anyone else would be, often pushing him to withdrawal away from others, often resorting to solitary adventures in the woods to create his own fun without them, making due with the occasional Korok and Deku Scrub who opted to join him. Ignoring any sympathy from any of the more reasonable Kokiri, the bitter Flox wished he could get back at them somehow and prove to them that he was no less of a Kokiri than any of them. While away from the Kokiri Village, Flox planned and prepared intricate pranks for his kin as payback for his mistreatment. The outcome of his revenge turned out to be...unexpected.

    Flox's well thought out but ultimately harmless schemes brought amusement to the Kokiri (at the expense of a few victims). Flox realized that his pranks made the others laugh, and confused it for being liked. He would spend much of his time in the forest, playing and planning out his next prank to hear the others laugh with him. Until one evening, he journeyed too far towards the edge of the forest while following a shimmering blue light. A lantern holding a bright blue flame. In his curiosity, Flox reached out to take it. However, the second he touched it, a curse inflicted his body, transforming him into something that would be completely dependent on the frigid light of the flames forever.

    Needless to say, his transformation frightened the other Kokiri, and Flox was without a cure. He once again became shunned by those he was beginning to call his friends. Fed up, the now icy-skinned Kokiri fled the forest, taking with him the cursed lantern to help sustain his body as much as possible.

    Years went by since he's traveled across Hyrule, learning about the world outside the forest and enduring the leering eyes of Hylians, before reaching a place that could accommodate his new needs. Flox now resides in Snowhead, where the Yeti were quick to invite him to their home, seeing how his curse allowed him to live among them. It was different, but Flox gradually learned to accept this as his new home. To this day, he wonders where the lantern he now holds came from, and why it was in the forest in the first place. Perhaps an adventure may lead him to an answer...eh, who cares? It's just an excuse to have fun.
