Chromie

Official Description
Someone who Mhakna and Sebia meet while he cuts down trees in the forest.

Chromie is a man of large build in his 20s, with a mental disorder. He grew up unloved by his parents, his name coming from the name of an animal. As a child, he wasn’t given any proper sustenance, and only managed to avoid starvation by eating mushrooms that he had picked in the woods. Upon maturing into an adult, he was made to work as a lumberjack—owing to the minimal contact with other people—but his parents took all of his earnings. One day, his parents grew sick of taking care of him and set fire to the house while he was asleep, in the hopes of claiming insurance damages. Fortunately, a pikomou he had been secretly keeping, Tokomie, woke him up. He barely managed to escape with his life, but his parents had all but disappeared.

Tokomie eventually passed away; he finds himself lost at a rocky outcrop when Bell saves him.
