Chemolithoautotroph is his full name, although he prefers to go by "Troph". He is a willow who adores the sciences and wants to help further any research he can.

He lives in Brittlebush but travels to Sweetbay frequently to help with new discoveries before returning home with his research.

He isn't fond of other willows at all. Similar to his companion, Flit, he prefers his alone time, but, dissimilarly, he has no tolerance for social interaction and hates every second of it. He doesn't make friends—that's what he likes to think, anyway.
