Description
A shapeshifter and an outlaw, Paz has had a very unique life experience thus far. Although at one point he was loved by one and all in his hometown, it hasn’t been all luxurious for him. His story began as a young orphan, but the woman who ran the local home for lost children practically took him in as her own. He was small and quiet, but he eventually made a best friend who helped him open up and soon learn about the uniqueness of his abilities. Since he can remember, Paz has been able to shapeshift into an orange tabby cat, which came with its own interesting perks, including the gift of nine lives.
The early friendship he made at the home for lost children taught him many life lessons alongside his abilities, including doing what’s right rather than acting selfishly. He had to learn this the hard way unfortunately, losing one of his nine lives and his best friend along the way and almost being thrown in jail, but he considers himself a better man now despite all the trouble. He was forced to run away from his hometown after this, which is where his life as an outlaw began. He was wanted for being a thief and for other crimes, but for all the crimes he did, he did it for the greater good, even if it came with a price. And sure enough, it did.
Paz doesn’t like to think of himself as someone who runs away from his problems, as someone supposedly known for being fearless, but with no family or friends around anymore, what other choice did he have? He spent a lot of his childhood researching and learning about magic because of his shapeshifting, and so he spent a lot of time from then on finding other places where magic existed and was accepted. He’s recently settled in this magical town after befriending Peter Pan and the lost boys, finding a sense of belonging with this group who understood what it was like to have no family. He isn’t sure what the future holds for him now, but it doesn’t seem to take long for trouble to find the infamous Puss in Boots, no matter how much he tries to run.
Headcanons
Paz uses his shapeshifting to help him be sneaky and get away with running from the law. He used to do it the most when stealing money for the poor, which is where Puss in Boots first became well known. He can control his shapeshifting for the most part, but he isn’t perfect. Sometimes he turns into the familar orange tabby by mistake when his emotions are out of control, like when he’s afraid or upset.
He is very spontaneous and doesn’t typically like to be settled down to one place (or person). Along his journey, he even found love at some point, but screwed it up with his typical habit of running. He had almost married the woman until they both bailed at the altar, though he actually doesn’t know that she had also ditched the wedding, because he hasn’t seen her since.
He sort of has an accent, but it’s more prominent when he’s been drinking. He also forces it out when he’s being a flirt. It just works so well with his natural charm
Loves to tell stories about himself. He will talk for hours if you let him.
Never goes anywhere without his boots
After meeting Peter, his new friend offered him a place to stay on the couch for whenever he needs somewhere to sleep, so the already cramped apartment has become his temporary home recently
He loves parties and can never resist a good time
