Meet Hester's husband: a toaster.

Hester doesn't like 'people' (erm, or whatever you'd call the citizens in an anthromorphic society). They are good only for providing her with dreams to eat. It's not that she's been scorned or any of that nonsense-- she just plain and simple has never liked them. Oh, she'll pretend to like them in order to get closer to them in order to more easily steal their dreams... but their company beyond that is something she avoids.

She lives in a junkyard. One day she 'met' a toaster, and fell quite madly in love with it. Why, I do not know. It is foolish to find logic in the whims of tapirs. But she did, and the following season proclaimed herself married to 'General Electric'. She sleeps (yes, even dream eaters dream) with it cuddled to her chest every night.
