Her whole life is a desperate, incessant cry: "Please look at me! Do you see how sweet and good I am? Just don't leave me!"

Her "appetite" is an insatiable need to swallow other people's standards, criticism, rules, and opinions. She literally "eats" what she is told to adjust herself to the tastes of others.
But in fact, she really eats huge portions of cakes, pushing them into herself. Even if she's full and in pain, she swallows everything with nausea, not letting anything come out of her mouth.

Cakey's sadness is deep, quiet, and introspective.
She will never show that she feels bad, cry in public or ask for help, because this will spoil someone else's appetite.
Her sadness quickly develops into severe self-aggression. In moments of loneliness, she literally suffocates from the realization of her emptiness and the fact that she is being used. This state is perfectly conveyed by the lines: "What's wrong with me?! Am I caramelized or rotten to death"

True, childish joy is a huge rarity for Cakey.
Most of the time, her "joy" is simply relief that she has been praised, or that she has managed to avoid conflict. If others are smiling and fed up with her "treats," Cakey feels like a surrogate of joy.
She suppresses real moments of joy for herself, considering them selfish. Her smile on her face is most often a social mask so as not to spoil the mood of others.

Her empathy is hypertrophied and destructive to herself.
Cakey doesn't just empathize with someone else's pain, she absorbs it into herself like a sponge. If someone is sad, she feels obligated to fix it.
She doesn't know how to build personal boundaries. She experiences other people's tragedies, complaints and negativity as acutely as her own, which is why her nervous system is in a state of eternal burnout.

For Cakey, helping is not just a choice, it is a duty and the only way to prove to the world that she has the right to exist.
She will rush to solve other people's problems, even if she wasn't asked to, literally imposing her usefulness. If someone refuses her help, Cakey feels rejected and useless.

For Cakey, love is a complete, sacrificial dissolution into a partner and emotional dependence.
She sincerely believes that it is impossible to love her just like that. Love in her understanding must be earned by perfect behavior, anticipating desires and absolute obedience.
If her partner likes a certain style of clothing, music, or character, Cakey will instantly adjust herself to that pattern. It will literally become what the partner "wants" to eat.
Any cold word or momentary frown from a loved one causes her a mental catastrophe. ""She immediately starts blaming herself, believing that she has "deteriorated" or "rotted away."

In friendship, Cakey is a "convenient" and reliable friend, which, unfortunately, is very easy to use.
She won't choose a place for a walk, won't argue about a movie, or refuse a favor, even if she has to sacrifice her sleep or her health for it.
She never initiates communication first too obsessively, for fear of getting bored. In the company, she tries to be an inconspicuous but useful shadow — to bring napkins, give up the best seat, listen to other people's problems.
Because she hides her real thoughts, her friends don't know her real one. Her friendship is shallow, not through her fault, but because of her own fear of opening up.

There is a huge void inside Cakey because she doesn't have a "self" of her own. It is completely made up of other people's tastes, opinions and expectations. Cakey lives in constant stress, balancing between the desire to be perfect and the growing self-loathing.
