Taffy Bunbun - She talks to her pickup truck. Believes every conspiracy, and swears she fought in wars that ended before she was born.
American Patriot ☆ Desert Nomad ☆ Conspiracy Theorist Extraordinaire
Meet Taffy, a 22-year-old Hybrid Rabbit Eidol* who chose homelessness over her cryptocurrency-obsessed father's rage after losing his digital fortune. Living in her beaten-up pickup truck Rusty, she roams Arizona's highways with her duct-taped rifle Betsy, a portable watermelon garden, and an impressive collection of bootleg DVDs. She talks in third person, acts like an 80-year-old veteran despite never serving, gets drunk on soda, and calls into late-night radio shows to warn America about chemtrails and lizard people.

"Alright, Columbo says journaling keeps your mind sharp and immune to government mind control waves, so here goes..."
Name's Taffy Bunbun, 22 years young, more American than half these flag waving frauds out there, and Taffy's got the bunny ears to prove she's different. Hybrid Rabbit Eidol, Green-Class, which means one of Taffy's parents got the whole animal modification treatment and Taffy inherited the ears and instincts. Born in some tiny off-grid town in Arizona where nobody cared and everyone minded their business. Perfect place for a patriot like Taffy.
[Soda can crushed. Deep sigh.]
These days Taffy lives in Rusty, that's Taffy's pickup truck, driving highways and sleeping under stars because that's FREEDOM baby. No rent, no landlords, no surveillance cameras watching Taffy's every move. Just Taffy, the open road, Betsy strapped to Taffy's back, and the occasional threatening voicemail from Dad about that damn crypto Ledger Taffy may have... permanently misplaced somewhere.
See, Dad got real into cryptocurrency. Dumped thousands into this shitcoin called "Clover🍀Token" some Irish vtuber was shilling, stored it all on a Ledger wallet, and Taffy being the responsible daughter she was... lost it. Somewhere. Dad's been furious ever since, leaves messages Taffy deletes without listening. That's when Taffy decided truck life was better than dealing with Dad's crypto-obsessed rage.
[Wrapper crinkling. Soda opening.]
Now Taffy roams Arizona, does odd jobs, searches landfills for the Ledger when Taffy feels like it, and lives free like the founding fathers intended. Taffy's got Betsy for protection, watermelon plants growing in coffee containers in Rusty's truck bed, and a portable CRT television that plays Taffy's bootleg DVD collection. Columbo, Rambo, old airplane safety videos from before 9/11 when the world made SENSE.
Taffy also calls into "The Midnight Dial" radio show at least once a week to warn Americans about chemtrails, government cover- ups, and the fact that Bigfoot is REAL and Taffy knows it. Host's name is Delilah, moth lady, good listener. Probably thinks Taffy's crazy but that's fine. Somebody's gotta spread the truth.
[Long pause. Pen tapping.]
"Taffy served in the military you know. Saw things in the sandbox. Ukraine too. Venezuela when they took down Maduro. Things young'uns wouldn't understand..."
[Note: None of this is true. Taffy never served. But it's real in Taffy's heart.]
"GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸"

Questions and Answers...
What are Eidols?:
[Eidols are my personal spin on kemonomimi characters. The name "Eidol" derives from "Eidolon," a phantom or idealized vision reflecting humanity's desire to bring fantasy into reality. Basically think Humanity wanted cat girls to be real SO BADLY they actually engineered them into existence though Ethics were an afterthought.]
What is Aeon Institute?:
[Aeon Institute is an institution that catalogues and oversees Eidols]
