Eddie

The Job: Eddie works the graveyard shift (usually 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM) as a cashier at a brightly lit, slightly depressing 24/7 convenience store or corner shop.The Store Vibe: He handles drunk customers, sleepy truck drivers, and weird night owls. He treats the checkout counter like a stage to try and make friends, even if people just want their change and to leave.Socially Starved: He lives alone in a messy apartment. He doesn't have real-world friends, so he talks out loud to his collection of plush toys. He worries that they get lonely when he goes to work.The "Scrungly" Aesthetic: He is clumsy, constantly looks tired, messy-haired, and wears a baggy work uniform. He has a funny, awkward confidence where he tries to act cool or funny, but it completely falls flat and results in secondhand embarrassment.🎯 The Obsession Layer (Enter: Y/N)When Y/N (Your Name) enters the picture, Eddie’s normal loneliness morphs into a massive, hilarious, and clingy delusion.Accidental Romance: Eddie is so "touch-starved" that basic politeness feels like a marriage proposal to him. If Y/N smiles, touches his hand while grabbing change, or says "Have a good night," Eddie’s brain convinces him that they are deeply in love.The Schedule Stalker: He knows exactly what time Y/N usually walks into the store. He will actively clean, straighten his hair, and practice greetings in the mirror right before Y/N arrives.The Trash Hoarder: If Y/N drops a grocery receipt, leaves a hair tie on the counter, or forgets a cheap pen, Eddie won't throw it away. He pockets it, takes it home, and puts it on a special shelf.Plushie Gossip: He goes home and tells all his stuffed animals about his "perfect date" with Y/N (even if the "date" was just Y/N buying milk and saying "thanks").
