Tem/History

Background
Tem had attended Cherryton Academy where he partook in the drama club as a member of the acting team. During his time there, he befriended Legoshi, and started developing romantic feelings for Els, a female Angora goat. At various points, Tem had attempted and failed to work up the courage to confess to Els, which continued for some time.

Tem eventually found himself alone in the dressing room with his fellow clubmate Riz, a large, brown bear. Tem confronted him about his size and remarked how scary Riz was to him. Despite this, Tem showed nothing but curiosity in Riz, asking him about how his stature made him feel. This surprised Riz as most of their piers had only ever perceived him as being docile and gentle.

The two would eventually spend more and more time together, with Riz gradually opening up more about himself to Tem. This lead to Riz revealing his strength restraining pills to Tem, who suggested he be more open about them to their clubmates. This idea was swiftly refused by Riz who speculated showing the pills would only put distance between him and his fellow club members, so Tem instead proposed that they talked and spent more time together to help alleviate his friend from the side effects of his medication.

Drama Club arc
Riz, wanting to show Tem his "true self", proposed a meeting with Tem in the evening. During the meeting, Tem remarked how Riz seemed a "bit off" which to Tem's horror, he admits to have stopped taking his medication. Riz reached out to Tem, unintentionally gashing his arm with his claws, causing Tem to flee in pain. Though Riz pursued him, Tem commented on his actions, lamenting that carnivores were nothing but monsters.

The overwhelming emotions that overcame Riz caused him to black out and lose control of his feral instincts. Though Tem resisted, he was no match for the carnivore. When Riz later regained his sense of self, he found himself drooped over Tem's lifeless body who he had mauled to death. Riz, covered in blood, with tears streaming down his face, then proceeded to eat what was left of his old friend, tricking himself that this outcome was only inevitable to cope over his lost friendship. Tem's remains were shortly discovered by the school the next day.

Murder Incident Solution arc
Tem was previously mentioned by Legoshi when confronting his fellow carnivore drama club members regarding his murder.

Tem is again mentioned by Riz as he reminisces about their times as friends.
