Backstory
Pretz hailed from a realm where humanoids roam going about their own way, find what they do in their lives. His family has a long tradition of being a catering company, a cafe to be specific. While his father, Pan hopes he'll one day take the torch, Pretz's dream is to become a magician, to wow others with his magic.

One day, Pretz was left in charge of the cafe as his parents went on a much needed vacation. While things were going well, he met a certain bakeneko who caused trouble during his shift. However once he realize she did so because the bakeneko was just hungry, Pretz left her some food and water before heading back to work. To show gratitude, the bakeneko assisted to lessen the work load.

After that day, Pretz named the bakeneko, "Paprika" when it became clear she wasn't going to leave anytime soon.

BVA
One day, Paprika spawned a magical portal which lead to the BVA. Curiosity outweighing the fear, Pretz decided to go and check it out. Seeing the chaos that happens and that the BVA has a cafe, Pretz sees this as a better environment to practice his magic skills for his dream. Since then he and Paprika has worked there.
