𖥔˖ ִ࣪ Kevin Mallory

Kevin works at CandyClub, a candy store in his town. He lives alone in an apartment.

Strange and paranormal things happen in his town. Most adults ignore them, but Kevin is one of the few who isn't so oblivious to what's going on. There have been murderers, monsters, and even a case of a cult that haunted the town—that's the world he inhabits.

Skid and Pump.
Kevin’s relationship with Skid and Pump is defined by constant irritation mixed with reluctant care. He sees them as the main source of chaos in his life at CandyClub: they make messes, attract monsters, and turn every visit into a disaster. He regularly tries to ban them, yells at them, and has admitted they give him nightmares. Despite this deep frustration, he never becomes truly hostile or dangerous toward them. When he scolds them too harshly and learns about Skid’s dead father, he immediately feels guilty and tries to make up for it with free candy. In real danger, he prioritizes protecting the boys even at personal risk. From their side, Skid and Pump treat him as just another friendly (if grumpy) adult and keep coming back with the same cheerful energy no matter how many times he snaps at them.

Rick.
Rick was Kevin’s former coworker at CandyClub. Their relationship was standard workplace camaraderie—two employees sharing the same stressful environment. Rick eventually quit the job, leaving Kevin as the only remaining employee for a long time. Beyond that, their dynamic is not explored in depth; they simply worked together until Rick decided to leave.

Radford.
Radford is Kevin’s closest and most stable friend. Their bond is easy, supportive, and free of the chaos that defines most of Kevin’s other interactions. Radford sometimes calls him “Kevs” in an affectionate way, and the two are shown chatting casually and looking out for each other. When supernatural trouble reaches Kevin, Radford is often the one who steps in to help, making him one of the few genuinely warm and reliable connections Kevin has.

Other adults.
He knows everyone in town well, but he doesn't get along with anyone except Radford in particular. He especially fears and somewhat detests John and Jack, the town's police officers.

Kevin is a young adult of average-to-tall slender build with white pale skin, sharp facial features, and perpetually tired-looking dark eyes that often convey exasperation or mild panic, framed by short black hair that includes visible sideburns and a small ahoge (a single stubborn strand of hair sticking up) usually concealed beneath his work hat; his default on-the-job appearance is the official CandyClub employee uniform consisting of a crisp white short-sleeved button-up shirt featuring a single thin pink stripe running down each sleeve, a distinctive pink bowtie shaped like a twisted taffy wrapper complete with a white swirl pattern in the center, a matching white peaked employee cap that sits neatly on his head, light blue straight-cut trousers, and simple black shoes.

Kevin is fundamentally sarcastic, irritable, and deeply cynical, especially when it comes to his job at CandyClub. He openly and repeatedly expresses how much he hates working there, not because he dislikes candy or retail in principle, but because almost every single shift devolves into some form of misfortune, property damage, physical injury, police interrogation, or life-threatening supernatural event. The vast majority of these disasters can be traced directly back to Skid and Pump, whose chaotic visits have conditioned him to tense up the moment he hears their familiar greetings. His default emotional state is a dry, sharp-tongued frustration that sits just beneath the surface of forced customer-service politeness. He is incapable of fully suppressing his cutting remarks; the sarcasm slips out almost involuntarily, often escalating situations that a more diplomatic person might have de-escalated. This habit has repeatedly landed him in deeper trouble with difficult customers, suspicious officers, and the various monsters that wander into his store.
At the same time, Kevin is remarkably easy to push into genuine panic. Under pressure his composure cracks quickly: his eyes widen, his voice tightens, and he becomes visibly anxious and flustered. Situations that a more resilient or desensitized person might brush off as minor inconveniences can send him into a spiral of stressed-out overreaction.

His cynicism is not innate but acquired. Years of accumulated workplace trauma have worn down what was once a more optimistic and professional young man into the exhausted, jaded version seen throughout the series. He still possesses a baseline of competence and a reluctant sense of responsibility, but both are constantly strained by the absurdity that surrounds him. Kevin exists in a permanent state of low-grade resentment toward the universe for denying him even one peaceful shift, yet that same universe has also forced him to develop a peculiar resilience.
