Fashionably late to a franchise as usual, I've fallen head over heels in love with Cuphead and in particular, Chef Saltbaker. So my brain cracked and came up with a cute lil' OC.

This little girl was created by accident when Saltbaker tried to make the Wondertart by using a piece of his own soul as the secret ingredient. Instead of the Wondertart, he ended up with a tiny saltshaker that he had no purpose for other than making her his little minion. Being nameless at the time, Lil' Saltshaker spent her days scrubbing the floors of the bakery, doing dishes and many other chores while Saltbaker kept her mostly hidden to avoid suspicion of nosy people.

After his defeat, Salty was surprised to find his minion insisting on going to prison and serving community service with him despite how poorly she was treated. During this time, the two bonded and that's when Chloreen finally got her name. After the bakery was rebuilt, Saltbaker welcomed her as his official assistant and promised to treat her better. Over time, Chloreen began to call him 'papa' and the two became family <3
