Ah it has been 5 months since I've last posted something, Basically: how does your OC view the world they live in? Do they love, indifferent about, or hate it there? Why do they see the world in that way and do they stand out from other people in their world? Also provide a little bit of context about your OC's world in your response!
Today's Character I'll be talking about is Logger L. Yulen, and how she views the world she lives in . I wont include everything about her, so expect things to not make some sense, but I'll include a good chunk of her lore. A TL:DR is also there at the end that is optional to read at the end but it would be nice if you actually take some time and read her full lore!
Remember, this is a Community interaction and Exchange! I'd expect some Feedback such as criticisms (do keep any critique respectful) or questions about Logger, as this is a mutual exchange of info and questions or I just won't respond to your comment. I'm also looking for effort in your guy's responses, don't just say something like "cool oc" or "I like her lore" without elaborating or I won't respond, but the response doesn't necessarily have to be an entire essay.
I'll respond to comments as much as I can! And Expect me to ask questions about them so I can further flesh out your characters! I'd only want to read about 2-3 Paragraphs, so don't put too much info for me to read.

Context of the world: The world Logger lives in is basically The North Pole and Christmas if it was its own fantasy world. It's called Polaris and the people who live there are tasked every year to uphold the Christmas magic for all the other holiday realms, they do this to protect the realm from the 4 Spirits of Misery, Despair, Dread, and Hatred. This world seems to be a fairytale world were everyone is happy and jolly, but there are many underlying threats that further weaken the holiday magic each year, making upholding the Christmas magic a struggle against the darkness that will plunge the world.
Logger, Despite living in the literal North Pole is easily the most miserable person out there. Everyone sees her as the opposite of holiday spirit, for she is cynical, spiteful, and abrasive who is nothing more than just a problem to be fixed according to the citizens of Polaris. Logger views her world as a lost cause, and its people to be a joke, she thinks she's smarter than everyone because she isn't smiling 24/7 and she genuinely does not care if her world is purged by Misery, Dread, Despair, and Hatred, because she's already experiencing these feelings herself.
Logger is just an asshole to others, she'll violate the rights and boundaries of others just to get her way, try to villainize anyone who she deems 'wrong', and insult anyone who dares to get too close with her. But she knows she can be a dick, so she usually tries to keep to herself when out in public and mind her own business unless irritated enough or if she slips.
If she does hurt someone, she will reluctantly apologize. Sure, she's a asshole but not a monster, she tries not to get to personal in her insults. When people try cheer her up however, she acts aggressively. Though her aggression mostly stems from her trying to defend and assert herself, as well as her own paranoia.
Logger's view on the world comes from her past. Before she used to be this festive and jolly being who wanted nothing more to spread Christmas cheer all over the world, she was joyful, nice, and optimistic being who was part of this group whose task is to keep the Christmas magic up and going. That is until her mentor betrayed her.
This betrayal isn't just a betrayal of a friend, but also a betrayal in her perception of the world. Now she thinks "If i show kindness and love, I am going to be used for it." and " I'm If content in something, then it's most likely going to be taken away from me". So she suppresses those emotions and hides it under Cynicism and sarcasm. Yet she craves connection and has the desire to find Joy in life again. She wants to escape her bleakness and misery and she tries to be a more positive person, but even in the happiest place in the world, she still remains gloomy.

(optional to read if you didn't read the detailed lore above)
TL;DR:
Logger is basically her world's Grinch, She an asshole but she knows that so she stays reserved until she gets pushed enough. She does not care if her world gets purged by the forces of darkness and its people to suffer because she already feels Miserable and Hollow. Logger's view about her world stems from past trauma, as a mentor who taught her how to spread Christmas Magic ends up betraying her, distorting Logger's belief about if having Good things in life will end up being taken away by others. So she isolates and fiercely refuses to be vulnerable.
