Narrative Context

> Character Background: Caden hails from "Celluloid City," a world stuck in the 1920s. However, Caden was always a bit of a rebel. While everyone else stuck to jazz and bowties, Caden adopted a punk aesthetic and modified their look with piercings. They became renowned for their ability to use the "Calligraphy Pencil," a tool said to be able to rewrite parts of the cartoon world. Recently, Caden has settled down to prepare for the arrival of their massive litter, balancing their artistic career with the impending chaos of parenthood.

> Wants: * To create a masterpiece mural that moves on its own.

> To safely deliver their cubs and teach them the art of animation.

> To prove that "classic" toons can still be modern and edgy.

> Problems: * Physical: Moving around the studio is getting harder every day due to the size of the litter.

> External: A villain known as "The Censor" who wants to erase Caden's edgy style and force them to be a "normal" fox.

> Internal: The anxiety that they won't be able to protect all their cubs in a dangerous cartoon world.
