Paul Thumb

Paul Thumb is a 2018-introduced all around character. He is part of Tom Thumb as the next titular character, and he is a student at Ever After High. In the destiny conflict, he is on the Roybel side because he wants to change some aspects in his story, but keep the rest the same. He also believes that everyone deserves a choice for their life.

Personality
Just like young Tom Thumb, Paul Thumb is very mischievous, a trait that is very notorious among his peers. He loves to play pranks on others, and no one has ever been able to tell how often on average he does them. It is to the point that he is very easy to frame. On the rare occasion that he didn't do it, the others don't believe him. However, he does have standards. He believes that cheating in any way is a sin, and he wouldn't intentionally do anything that could cause real chaos. The latter is often questioned because of his mixed feelings on his legacy. He likes most of it, but doesn't want to ruin his reputation by cheating at games, and he doesn't want to be in constant danger of being baked into foods.

Paul is not just a Roybel because of his own story. In fact, besides those aspects that he views as "flaws", he is also a Roybel for the sake of others' stories. He understands from a personal point of view that not everyone wants their story the way it is, but they still want to honor their legacy. As a result, he wants to help them understand that that they could suit their desires by doing what he plans to do: live most of his story accordingly, but change what he wants to change. He sometimes wonders if this will cause everyone to simply end up in retellings of their parents' stories, or their own story altogether. Being a curious one, Paul is unafraid of finding out.

Unrelated to his story, Paul is fun-loving and quirky. He is the kind of guy who looks at the world through rose-colored glasses (ironically, he owns a few pairs of them). He is easily enthusiastic and tends to look on the bright side of things. His philosophy is that the meaning of life is to enjoy it while you have it, which comes through in his optimism. He enjoys playing fighting video games and watching bookball. He eventually joins the Ever After High bookball team.

Among his friends, Paul is a ray of sunshine. When they are down, he is the one that usually cheers them up by thinking of something funny or something to make them happy. His optimism has also greatly counteracted any sense of pessimism someone may have. When it comes to his love life, he does flirt with some girls from time to time and only shows confidence (even though inside, he has been nervous sometimes). However, even through those, he hopelessly sticks with one crush.

Appearance
Paul has a dark skin tone and green eyes. He wears chap stick to protect his lips. He has dark brown hair that only reaches his neck. He wears in bangs in "curtains". At full size, he is shorter than most of his peers; he is the same height as a Wonderlandian girl. For most of his outfits, he wears orange, dark orange, red, light green, and a shade of dark brown that is darker than his hair.
