Sederick is a teen living in Forest Castle Town who was born to Estelle and Merridew Pines. Sederick was raised by his parents and their family friend Gaz Whence in Forest Castle Town. Due to his father’s role in the Forest Army, Sederick spent most of his time with his mother when he was very young until an incident occurred between his parents that led to their divorce.

When Sed was 8, his parents got into a huge argument - Estelle didn’t want Gaz or Sederick’s best friend, Soncalic White, to live with them anymore, and she was adamant about making them leave. Merridew was furious at her hatred towards his closest friend, especially since he was the one taking care of Sederick and Soncalic while she disappeared to go drinking on a regular basis. The argument led to an assault by Estelle, leaving Merridew badly injured and Sederick terrified of his mother. After this incident, the Merridew, Gaz, Soncalic, and Sederick moved to a new home and pressed charges on Estelle, and Sed never saw his mother again as she was sent to prison for assaulting Merridew.

Throughout high school, Sederick found himself interested in learning how to fight in order to defend people he cares about. While he didn't necessarily want to join the Forest Army, he found himself training at the Army Base alongside General Urbik Farken and his unofficial Uncle, General Sirius Obsol Jr. until he left the Forest Kingdom with Soncalic to find the other individuals marked by the Whistold Prophecy.

Extra notes: 

The antennae on his head are some sort of genetic mutation that nobody can figure out, so he decided to make them ‘more attractive’ by attaching heart-shaped glasses to the ends. The color is one-sided, so he still sees clearly with them, and they double as prescription glasses since he does need them for his poor eyesight.

Ever since the incident with his mom, Sederick has regularly gone to therapy, which is where he unintentionally discovered his crush on Soncalic as a pre-teen.

As a chinchilla, Sed can't take baths in water and instead has a dust spray that he uses to keep clean (referencing chinchillas taking ‘dust baths’ and rolling around in dust to keep themselves nice and soft). He also has a tendency to wear floral perfumes and is extra careful about keeping himself clean and tidy.
