Do you have any headcanons for Taffy? Ahfjijfv I love him so much sorry if this is bothering you

I DO HAVE SOME!!! (im cant put too much since i need him to develop some more still but heres a bit)


  • so taffy is an orphan just like coco, but his parents are still alive and out there. i think one of his main motivations is to find them
  • works for amanita,. not actively but more like when using him is most advantageous to her
  • amanita is the witch of the ‘mohngrols’ - dark magic attempts at re-creating familiars, but the corruption ended up making them these weird looking shadow monster things that somewhat resemble animals (their power is nowhere close to actual familiars, though) 
  • some of these mohngrols work directly under her, she purposely made them stronger (and most likely able to possess people), but out of all her little underlings, taffy comes out the strongest by far.
  • he is not well liked in her evil little community because of this 
  • ‘a petty human?? blessed with such power?? a disgrace to all magic.” kind of thing
  • so when she needs him, she calls on him, and he helps her.
  • hes convinced that shes trying to help him
  • his power is water manipulation. he cant CREATE water, but if its around him he can use it, and also. change its form (solid, liquid, gas). i fear him, which SOUNDS like a great power 
  • coco is actually the 1st person to talk to him about this, after he like. kidnaps her (maybe the 2nd time he kidnaps her) to lure and trap mochi, so they actually talk a bit.
  • shes just confused about EVERYTHING so she asks him what his whole deal is. he tells her about his power
  • she, confused and overpowered, tries to convince him out of it, “Well uh,,. that doesn’t sound TOO bad actually,.. I mean you get to manipulate water, right..,? That’s a cool power,.?”
  • he laughs a little and looks down at his hands and says “It would be, if it were in my hands. But this curse…is in my lungs.”
  • and he tells her the way the curse is designed makes it so it slowly kills him, like a slow drowning over years and years. 
  • he then tells her that the witch of the cat put this curse on him. 
  • so shes HAPPY for a second shes all “Great! Then we don’t need to fight, just ask Mochi to take it off of you I’m sure she can–”
  • “Don’t you get it yet? Curses on people aren’t the same as curses on objects. She can’t take it out of me!! But…,.if I can kill her… then the magic dies with her.”
  • and at that point taffy is officially her enemy. shes like aw fuck, no way hes laying a hand on my girl. 
  • and HE doesnt even KNOW this for sure, this is just what amanita tells him. and he trusts her because shes about the only family (or friend) he has. 
  • he actually ends up getting kind of attatched to coco just because shes the only person hes met who shows him sympathy. he has a hard time fighting her. he can never really deal her serious damage
  • the only thing he really knows is that the curse is slowly killing him. within a few years the curse would drown him out, and he dies. coco asks if hes ever in pain because of it. he tells her she has no idea.
  • when coco finally meets up with mochi again, she confronts mochi about it. like “why did you curse him with that??? to what end??” but mochi is confused, and tells her shed never lain a curse on anyone. 
  • they go back to mochis mother, who is just as confused as mochi, but when coco explains what taffy told her, her eyes go darker. “Amanita.” 
  • she explains to them that only dark magic is capable of laying a curse that inevitably ends in death. the entire taffy arc from this point is basically them trying to save him while he tries to kill them. it isnt till the end when they finally capture him that mochi is actually able to subdue the curse.
