Personality:
Chester is one of those people you either love or hate - though most people love him. He doesn’t like playing games, he asks a question if he’s curious and he argues if the answer doesn’t make sense. Chester is a jokester, making puns every chance he gets. He enjoys making people laugh and is uncomfortable in situations where people accuse him of being too cavalier. He doesn’t enjoy fighting, but he will. And he won’t use his invisibility as a cheap way of winning - unlike some people, he has honour.
Chester is wise yet oblivious, strong yet weak, courageous yet scared, polite yet immature. He’s an oddball - the opposite of predictable. His teachers should hate him for his sarcastic and smartass comments, yet he’s an A average student and most of his teachers think of him as their favourite student. He treats authorities as though they’re equals and remains bold in the face of danger. He weighs the pros and cons before doing anything frowned upon, often thinking about the worst-case scenario and deciding if he’s okay with the potential consequences.
Chester pushes through awkward conversations and does his best to include everyone. He prefers being out with people but needs to recharge every once in a while. He’ll try his absolute best to be there for anyone, but even Chester knows he can only do so much. His go-to for cheering people up is trying to make them laugh, though some people just get p!ssed off. Some people think Chester is amazing, others think he’s too annoying for his own good.
Biography:
Many people often wonder how Chester came to be. The most frequently asked question being how a cat managed to have a human child; this is the same question Chester has magically managed to avoid for his entire life - mainly by turning invisible and sneaking away. Despite the confusing details of his birth, Chester had a nice childhood. He lived with his mother - who the narrator of this story is actively refusing to reveal whether she was human or cat - and rarely ever saw his father. Chester received a birthday card every year and occasionally Cheshire would drop by for Christmas.
Chester didn’t mind not seeing his dad, perhaps Chester would have minded more if he knew he had a sister who lived with him. Neither of his parents ever bothered telling him. The couple had split up when Chester was a year old, Alya two. And, unlike Alya, Chester grew up on Earth. So any chance of them ever meeting was out of the question.
It sounds strange, but nothing life-altering ever happened to Chester. He had friends, a couple of significant others. Other than that, he had a rather sheltered life. The most tedious part was hiding his lineage from the people who knew him and restraining his want to turn invisible most of the time. Not to hide, mind you. Simply to inconvenience the usual bullies who liked to mock his friends.
It came as a surprise when Chester received his OUH letter - only because he had no clue a school like this would exist. He had a lot of questions, such as how stories such as Mulan would work if in the present time any child of hers would be dead. Did that mean there were separate realms where it was currently the 15th century? Or stories that required mythical figures such as Merlin would work if the story would need to be true for a child to be made, so the story would no longer be a fairytale as it’s true. He constantly pestered his mother with these questions, and she never had a response. He decided that he’d have to have a talk with Headmaster Grimm when he got there.
But even the name Headmaster Grimm brought up some interesting questions as Brothers Grimm rewrote quite a few stories to make them more gruesome, which brought up the question: was Headmaster Grimm really trustworthy? And, seeing how many stories are rewritten, couldn’t there be multiple children of the same fairytale with the same characters, just written by different people with different yet similar endings? Needless to say, Chester had many questions and not nearly enough answers.
