Wesley is a reclusive, bashful hermit who'd resigned himself to spending his life alone surrounded by jars upon jars of half-mouldy mushroom specimens. Lumière's arrival in his life pacified the bitter, more spiteful elements of Wesley's personality by reminding him of the good in humanity, but he still harbours resentment against his family. He's not seen them since he ran away from home, but their memory makes Wesley wary of people and he's always cautious not to make the same mistakes they did in neglecting the world.
Wesley is devoted to nature and lives an 100% zero-waste life, crafting his materials from scratch or sourcing them from recycling plants. Even his beloved satchel has been repaired more times than he can count and the inside is a patchwork of a dozen fabric scraps he's picked up over the years. It's not a particularly glamorous life, but it's one that brings Wesley joy and besides, there's no better place to study fungus than in the forest where it grows. One day Wesley hopes his studies will bring about good in the world but he's in no hurry to see his collection complete. |

Wesley was ousted from his family at a young age. Unable to stomach living in a house of trophy hunters and careless deforesters he decided to make the woods his home. Using a how-to guide pinched from the local library, Wesley built himself a hut to call his own and crafted a new life for himself from the flowers and foliage. Mushrooms are a passion of his and everyday Wesley heads further into the forest on a mission to document the species he finds, hoping to one day publish a comprehensive guide to mushrooms and foraging. Once this dream was his alone but after discovering Lumière dwelling in a stalactite cave in the heart of the forest, Wesley realised his little hut could be home to two and that dreams are worth sharing. Now, the pair work together collecting and cataloguing mushrooms throughout the forest and the job has never been easier or more fun. Sometimes Wesley misses the convenience of living around others and supermarkets, but he'd never risk losing Lumière for the sake of indoor plumbing.

I'm not good with words, but with them I don't need to be. They always understand me, like we're fungi communicating across a meadow.
Lumière is Wesley's partner and saviour, they rescued him from a life of repetitive solitude when Wesley was at the point of giving up and abandoning his dreams. Years alone can bring a person to that point, can make a person feel like there's no hope and no reason for anything, but it's easy enough to come out of the dark if only you remember to light a candle. Thankfully, Lumière always carries two. |
