Tired Agency Owner, unfortunately a distant father because he is afraid of showing his weaknesses to his second daughter after his first child passed away. It looks like he recognizes the town’s magical girl, but he won’t say why...

He's a serious and hardworking person in the things he aspires in (although not parenting). He makes a wonderful teacher to his employees and always has an answer for every question even if he's a man of few words. He cares about each person as well, grateful that they have concern for him too. He's not an outright good parent to Peppin, since the passing of his wife and first daughter around the same time numbed him badly, and there was a fear the same would occur to Peppin. To support her he focused on his work to ensure she could live an easygoing life and guarantee her wealth, nor was she lonely with their housekeeper, but her emotional needs aren't being met because of the distance he got created and felt guilt in. His escapism is his worst trait. He relies too much on work and avoiding personal problems that it creates relationship problems, but the apparent busy look draws others to him to encourage him to relax. He doesn't know how to entirely relax anymore, but there's still a comfort sitting his office where the height of it shows the nostalgic sea in the distance.

Anteegraf, a German coastal town, was where Joaquin lived for most of his life. Despite the menagerie of good and bad memories, he ultimately left the town due to his worst memories there. By leaving that town with Peppin, he ended up leaving behind any of his remaining family and in-laws, people he had been fond of. At first, he had his parents, but his mother passed after getting carbon monoxide poisoning from work, leaving a young Joaquin with his father. His father was someone he didn’t remember too much of; he recalls his face, but not his personality due to only staying by him until he was 5. He was a busybody that passed his son off to his best friend’s family, visiting a couple times only to one day disappear from Joaquin’s life. Joaquin did not get any answer about why until he was older. Under his father’s friend’s care, Joaquin didn’t see that family as his, no one as a father or mother. They also didn’t live with him long, passing him to the friend’s elderly parents so he could attend a nearby boys school. He was an introvert living with two other introverts that he regarded like guardians, but he wasn’t per say a lonely child, after all, his father’s friend had a daughter his age. The two spent weekends together playing and so on. From there on, life was rather normal, just a tale of two people that would fall in love, marry, have children.

Joaquin thought of himself as someone who doesn’t stay in the past. If he didn’t remember a lot of his parents, he felt he simply didn’t know them and they were irrelevant to his current life. No use lingering and wondering what happened there. Unfortunately, complications happened within his family’s health and his wife passed at the same time his young daughter had her own health issues. After that, his new normal was a period of mourning, no longer seeing his familiar surroundings in rose colored lenses. From his in-laws side of the family, he did get therapy through his brother in law for some time. Left with a child he couldn’t care for on his own, his brother in law recommended a nanny in another town to watch his child as he collects himself. The solution at that time was to get a change of scenery in a new place, a city called Sauzieu, and begin another life for him and Peppin. The part his brother in law didn’t notice was that once Joaquin moved away for that new life, he just became a workaholic relying on the nanny to watch his child, to some degree going back to unhealthy coping mechanisms.

In the present he owns a business and looks like any other businessman who goes home to a monochromatic townhouse. In all honesty, he would like to get along with his daughter, having used work as an excuse to stay outside of home over the years, but feels that it may be too late to integrate in her life. Hiding his medications and old family photos from Peppin had been difficult, Joaquin was afraid of telling her their family’s history and being pitied for it. He thought it was better she didn’t get any painful attachments, and for him not to be as attached to her to avoid any further grief that comes with affection. “Joaquin, you’re staying in the past.” That’s something the nanny Hallam would often tell him. She adored watching Peppin and being by her side, understanding Joaquin’s distance, but she too would like for them to be acquainted. She was right, the Joaquin who once moved forward was now someone who had a past to cling to. If only something or someone could actually help him to look towards the present or future… “It’s been a while. Do you remember me?” Catching up to him, a part of Joaquin’s past in Anteegraf found it’s way back to him in Sauzieu. It was the town’s new supernatural hero Carambola. The tale of his past is painted with images of him, his wife, and a very young Peppin, but that is only part of the image that once existed; Joaquin hadn’t just mourned for his wife, he once had an eldest daughter that not even Peppin knew about.
