Schop, a diminutive anthropomorphic mole with sleek black fur and a vivid blue nose, sports a tattered dark blue scarf—a relic from The Traveler—around its neck. A flickering azure flame, akin to a tail, extends from its backside, a remnant of The Traveler’s transformative gift. Its eyes, often obscured, sharpen into focus during intense emotions, with the left occasionally igniting in a blaze of resolve.
Hailing from the Oasis on the Chinese Peninsula, Schop asserts survival since the Great Disaster 250 years past. A enigmatic woman clad in black imparted human speech to it and fellow animals, while The Traveler’s bestowed flame quelled its hunger, extended its life, and warped its form beyond ordinary moles.
Notorious for pilfering potatoes from New Qingdao, Schop once drew the wrath of a colossal worm, fleeing until rescued by Shinra Kusakabe and allies. It later shepherded the group to the Oasis, showcasing cunning and adaptability.
After perishing in the second Great Cataclysm, Schop was resurrected via Shinra’s temporal manipulation, resuming life with undiminished habits. It tirelessly excavates labyrinthine tunnels, dreaming of an underground dominion. Though curious about Tokyo’s human culture, it clings to a potato-centric diet and harbors animosity toward Tempe.
Schop wields the cryptic technique *Lu Shan Shi Long Po* and relies on its enigmatic blue flame for survival. It reveres the woman in black, dreads the Evangelist, and aligns with those who sustain its longevity.
