info:
koffer and snitch are two different individuals, but refer to themselves as a singular. they use they/them. koffer is the box and snitch is the head. if snitch is out, koffer cannot speak and vice versa. koffer loves to be mischievous and lie, while snitch always tells the truth.
backstory:
koffer and snitch used to be one single person before joining the wonderful wonders freakshow circus, a kid named joaquin.
joaquin was known to be a snitch and a wimp by all the other kids so he was often teased. one day, when he heard that some other kids were going to go see the wonderful wonders freakshow circus while it was in town, he decided that he would pull a little prank on them. "maybe then they will see how fun i actually am" he whispered to himself as snuck inside a wooden crate by the entrance, peeking inbetween the planks as he waited for his targets to draw near. just as he saw the group walk past, he heard a loud thud from above. something was on top of the crate! he tried and tried to open the lid, but there was no way it would budge. he tried calling for help, but nobody could hear him over the joyous sounds of the circus. he would be stuck there until the show ended. "i'd best get comfortable, i guess." he sighed, laying down as best he could in the cramped little box. soon he found himself drifting off to sleep.
he awoke when he bumped his head on the lid of the crate as it bounced up and down. it felt like the crate was moving! the lid would not budge, but a board that was against his foot creaked weakly when it was nudged, so he gave it a half-hearted kick. the weak plank splintered, caving to his shoe. he kicked it again, making a hole that he could crawl through to free himself from the crate. he looked around in awe at all of the circus supplies surrounding him. tightropes, trampolines, giant hammers, grand velvet curtains, bowling pins, tricycles and anything else you could imagine a circus to need, all crammed into this little room. everything bounced again, and he realized he was inside of a truck. where was he going? how could he get back home? would he even be *able* to get back home?
that would be answered when the truck reached the next area to set up the circus at. when joaquin was discovered, he was given two options: find a way back home, or join the circus.
blessing:
despite being two individuals, they essentially share a blessing, which is influence. they can say anything and the average person believes it wholeheartedly. Koffer uses their influence to lie for their own gain, while Snitch uses theirs to expose lies, usually Koffer's previous lies, getting them both in trouble. people who they are around often, like the other members of the circus, are less likely to fall for their tricks. if one of them uses their blessing too much, it cranks their tail, causing the other to take control. Koffer uses theirs slowly and effectively, while Snitch tends to blow their influence all at once when they can't take the lies anymore.
