I don't have a backstory for all the characters I draw but in this case this one kind of does.

Essentially it's a minion of a dark fantasy interpretation of Jack Frost, who's a monster made manifest from humanities collective fear of the cold.

This specific figure was a originally a child that found themselves lost in the woods and died freezing to death.

despite being all intensive purpose's dead their desperation to persist was so great they struck a deal with Jack Frost to sell their body and free will to maintain their soul on earth.

Acting as Jacks voice, eyes and extension of their power.

If you look at the monsters in the in the tabletop rpg system little fears it's based off those, which I used this thing for a one shot for.
