Boxten wasn’t always the scared, shaky worker following Bobette’s every command—he used to have a normal life, one he actually enjoyed. He often remembers it quietly, almost like he’s trying to convince himself it really happened: he used to work at a carwash, and not just as an employee, but as the owner. It was simple, safe, and his. Everything changed when Bobette came into his life—this big, mean Southern woman filled with greed, fancy clothes, and a terrifying presence that makes him shrink every time she enters the room. Even when he tries to talk about her now, saying, “She’s okay… I guess,” the nervous look on his face gives away the truth. He remembers how she leaned over him once, laughing lightly and telling him, “Hehe… relax, box,” while he froze up, unable to breathe. She owns him now, or at least that’s what she tells him, and he blames himself for it, whispering, “My own fault,” whenever someone asks how it happened. The golden ring she forced on him marks him as her worker, and his missing tooth and bent tail are reminders of the times he didn’t follow instructions fast enough. Bobette hates everyone except holiday toons, which makes Boxten even more anxious since he’s always scared he’ll accidentally make her mad. His daily life shows exactly how badly she controls him—he can barely think before snapping to attention whenever she shouts his name. One loud “BOXTEN!” from across the room is enough to make him jump with a panicked “AH!” before scrambling toward her. She’ll smile at his fear like it’s cute and say things like, “Be a sweetie and take out the trash,” and no matter what he’s doing, he immediately answers, “Y-Yes! Yes ma’am,” and hurries off with his tail tucked and shoulders tight. Even when he’s frustrated or stressed, all he can do is sigh to himself and keep moving because he’s too afraid to push back. Bobette looms over him constantly, reminding him of his supposed debt, and even though Boxten isn’t sure anymore whether that debt is real or something she made up, he clings to the idea that if he works hard enough, one day he might finally pay it off and get his freedom back.
