Krazy Kandi - otherwise known as the Baker of the Woods - is an entity who was abandoned and forgotten about by her own customers, leading to her descent into madness by attempting to become sweeter, obtaining that wish and luring children to taste many of her treats.
Appearance[]
In common encounters with the entity, Kandi represents herself as a young woman within her mid-20s (presumably about 22-26 years) wearing a variety of clothing depending on the circumstances. Some consistent features include: vibrant pink hair, red/pink iris, a peppermint ring and "beige skin".
Some claim they viewed her transform into something relating to the size of a grizzly bear, some claim she had made herself larger than her own home. However, these "spectators" of her transformation usually aren't paranoid or show any sign of fear (indicating possible falsehoods to seem braver than they truly are).
Personality[]
Reina used to be a joyous and carefree person, lacking much self-doubt on the outside to her customers. She would occasionally have a moment or two remembering her parents and their techniques to running their business to help her cope through difficult times.
After her incident with her bakery, leading to its destruction, she became quite short-tempered with a surprisingly persuasive nature towards a younger audience (as she favored them for their impressionable minds), leading them away from homes into her false security of safety and relaxation of sweet desserts.
Behavior[]
Candy/Organic Constructs[]
Kandi isn't a supernatural being capable of a full body transformation. She can however make clones of herself or others depending on her baking material needed. These "clones" are incapable of speech as they are constructed by her to resemble humanoid entities. And - due to their lack of shared DNA/intelligence - these replicas are highly aggressive, territorial and feral.
As a result, this ability comes with its pros and cons. On the one hand, she can distract potentially harmful threats. On the other hand, these aren't as strong as herself so they can easily be defeated with the right weaponry/tactics.
Origin[]
In her early "human" years, Krazy Kandi has been the name of her dream bakery. Her real name was believed to have been Reina Groves at that time.
Her dream bakery was inspired by her parents discussions of how they first met, both of them wishing to start a business with one another. And, with their help, her bakery was a success! It had contained numerous delights of sweetness that could be shared anytime, anywhere, with anyone. Each crazy combination of ingredients never cease to amaze people. That was until he arrived...
This young fellow by the name of Percy Barker opened up right in front of her own bakery with his location called “Sixth Scents”. The nerve! Poor Reina tried her hardest to gain back her customers, she even decided to try and pull the most outrageous stunt she could think of...exposing herself to the older audience. She had seen what Percy’s assistants had been wearing along with their small talk. So, why couldn’t she do the same?
With tighter clothing and conversations between each customer, she was opened to either sexual harassment or disgusted looks. She knew how stupid it had seemed yet, seeing Percy waved at her with that sickening grin...It created a new feeling to cherish...hatred.
Reina had made multiple cakes and sweets themselves before. How could she be running out of ideas? She had tried everything possible to think of something new although her mind went blank for answer. Then, as if her call for a miracle came true, a young girl spoke to her in a hushed yet blunt, voice:
”Business gone awry I see...?”
She had not seen this girl before nor had she known where she had arrived from. Had she been there the whole time? She asked why she was within her bakery, all the while cussing and mumbling to herself about Percy and her loyal customers betrayal against her. The girl shook her head leading to the golden strands of hair shaking along side in a similar pattern.
”I’m not too important as of now but...in terms of business, call me your little Angel...”
She had no idea what to expect of this person. Who she was and what help she could offer depended on only Reina’s choices now. She had to choose wisely. Her hesitation occurred at first, considering what could be at risk. It was then that Percy came back into her mind as well as the thought of her parents‘ support going to waste. Decided solely from envy and anger, she agreed to listen to this strange girl and her deal to help the business. As the girl organised herself, she noticed a few more interesting details about her. Her clothing seemed to have been from a separate school within the area, her bag would have expired in terms of the actual material and fashion sense as well as the fact her physical state seeming...ill.
After scrabbling around her school-bag, the girl arranged herself in-front of a few of the cupcakes drizzled in both maple syrup and strawberries. Before she could comprehend what was occurring in that split second, the cupcakes had been altered. They began to grow little, twig-thin legs and arms as their icing revealed small, beady eyes peering around their new environment. As each one evolved to suit the magic within the coating of sugar, each delicious treat came to life along with them, creating new and unique staff for Reina to hire.
As days, weeks, went by, the little girl's idea worked wonders. Customers fled to her bakery for both entertainment and to satisfy their hunger as smaller cupcakes attempted to carry heavy trays of their own kind towards the people who acted like savages from the stone-age encountering mammoth meat. Eventually, however, all their business came crumpling towards an end once her newly made staff had enough of viewing their employer's kind tear through each innocent and voiceless cupcake, allowing her to earn a profit from pure torture. Needless to say, her staff members and waiters/waitresses weren't too pleased with the result of their lives going to turn into delicious pastries for humans to consume without any second thought into who they are eating alive.
So, as a form of revenge, the pastry staff begged and pleaded towards the strange and magical girl for answers, hoping she may be able to give them their form of retribution against Reina's selfishness. And, somehow, the girl claimed it was possible. She required all of the ingredients from the kitchen to be brought onto the kitchen counter-top and for the staff to wake her (who had an extra bedroom within her own bakery to make transportation issues and late markings less involved within her career) from her slumber. Reina, unfortunately, assumed that her own team that she had treated "well" had been quite cruel for their actions of disturbing her sleep for another busy day tomorrow, which led to many shouts and scoldings to be shared to one tearful pie from an angry, arrogant owner of a sour bakery. Nevertheless, the girl never took back from her word.
With one quick shift of her hand, the ingredients flew into the air at such a pace, even the staff members of the bakery couldn't view them all in time as the each grain of brown sugar and every lining of icing attached onto the baker's body. As she screamed out in pure agony - beseeching towards those who she had harmed for a request of mercy - the blistering sticky toffee puddings and icebound Knickerbocker glories had joined in the fun too, sinking into her pores of skin and within her throat, gradually closing her trachea to the point where no oxygen could be inhaled. It wasn't too long before she had fell unconscious due to the lack of air reaching her collapsed lungs as the staff watched in horror towards their mistake against someone so desperate to make a dream come true.
Once again, the staff pleaded for another chance for her. Yet, it had been far too late. One dessert of a perfectly made apple crumble filling had been left in the microwave for longer than expected underneath tin-foil during yesterday's rush to satisfy her customers, resulting in an explosion within the bakery and numerous sparks of flames and electricity to attack the pastry staff and the body of the baker. Before much could be done however, the building had nothing to shield itself from the fire spreading into each room. Within a matter of seconds, the bedroom, the kitchen, the waiting room and even the dining room had all caught ablaze as the flames consumed all the furniture and flooring. Once the morning sunlight broke through the darkness of the night, the bakery was mere ash and forgotten rubble. Nothing could have been saved from the fire and anyone caught within the inferno would have been left in hours of smoke and dangerous materials that could lead to a trip towards the hospital for the likely outcome of fatal injuries.
On the other hand, if Reina wasn't coated in such delectable treats able to withstand such heat, her life may have been extinguished as fast as what had been claimed. She had survived the scorching temperature of the blast - the sweetened coating that was trapped around her throat now a smooth puddle below her. She had not truly lived to see better days. The feeling of betrayal had grown to the extend where she knew that she couldn't return. If word had sunk in that her industry burnt to a crisp, he'd be sure to give her more than just a shit-eating grin. So, in the heat of the moment, she fled from the wreckage of her broken dreams, stumbling on what could only be described as her own legs. As her melting fingers touch the bare bark of a birch tree, she found herself seeming more like sludge. What had been her arms, chocolate of dark, milk and white swirled into one combination to form the lengths towards her drooping caramel digits, wobbling stilts of wafer cones carried her fragile body forward on such a terribly sturdy path, what used to be hair had turned into a solid mass of blackberry and lemon fool, blinding her in the process to leaving the crime scene and starting her temporary habit of crashing into branches and falling within sharp thorn bushes.
She eventually found sanctuary within an old cottage left in ruins, the furniture remained in place for many years, collecting dust and awaiting a new owner. Reina took it upon herself to control how she felt and what she did, leading to many months/years of training herself to manipulate her own body using her previous baking skills and turning what had been her own flesh into perfect, irresistible dishes to serve to new customers as well as frequently sneaking her way back into the village for what had been Percy's ingredients for his dishes.
Some children of the village still remain to be ignorant to their parents and follow the convenient trail of butterscotch towards her cottage, wishing to taste another long forgotten treat she used to bake for them only for their own precious souls to be transformed into what could be her newly constructed Raspberry brûlée...
