Taylor Reichlet

Taylor Reichlet (ライクレット テイラー, Reikuretto Teiraa) is a tailor and mage from Magnolia Town who is well known for his ability to create quality clothes, fabrics, upholstery and more, with speed and quality. His combined use of Fabric-Make and Enchantment Magic has resulted in his heightened fame as he provides clothes with elemental resistance as well as the occasional attraction enchantment.

Appearance
His basic appearance is of an olive skinned male with short black hair and grey eyes that on occasion look a little blue. In height, he is the average for his age and isn't well built despite the amount of travelling he does. His weight constantly fluctuates due to his habit of starving himself, causing him to look thin for a year and then suddenly he'll gain weight after eating heaps to make up for what he's lost.

Depending on how he feels, Taylor wears different clothes suiting his moods. On occasion, he'll wear clothing befitting a certain trend or area. Clothes he's commonly seen in are a thick olive green trenchcoat, navy blue scarf, basic black t-shirt underneath and dark grey trousers combined with simple brown boots. When it's warm, he'll ditch the scarf and coat, and just wear a t-shirt of choice and three-quarter pants.

Terrain also affects what he'll wear as he always likes to be prepared and show off his own designs as well. This leads to him travelling through all kinds of climates to test out the durability of his clothes and how well their design fits the colour of the environment.

Personality
In a word, Taylor is a self-reliant perfectionist and prefers to only use his Fabric-Make as a base for his ideas as he wishes to make his designs as perfect as possible with his own power. Often times, he'll go days without sleep, constantly sewing and knitting in order to create the best results possible. This fervor often leads him to belittle his own works as he considers them 'imperfect'. While this annoys customers since he'll constantly delay giving them what they paid for in order to improve them, they also tolerate it as Taylor's clothes are well made. Occasionally, Taylor will come to his senses and realise that his strive for perfection is selfish as he needs to design for the customer, not his own interests.

Taylor is also incredibly kind as he makes clothes for those that cannot afford them. On the side, he runs a second-hand clothes store where he takes discarded clothes and patches them up for reselling. Even if certain clothes might be worth heaps, he'll still sell them at low prices as he earns plenty from his main job.

Even though he's hard working when it comes to his job, he rarely puts effort into anything else and when he has no orders, he'll either be travelling or lazing around his house. In fact, his shop's opening hours reflect this as it opens later than most shops to accommidate the amount of orders he gets, though it's mostly because he sleeps in on a regular basis.

While he may be seem as a charitable and intellegent person, his tendency to obsess over his goal of creating perfect clothing usually turns people away and even ruins his own health as sometimes he'll fast for months at a time and constantly eat very little. This has caused many to worry about him, to the point that neighbors will deliver food to his house in order to get him to eat.

History
Taylor grew up in Magnolia with his older sister and father as his mother had died when he was only 4 due to an epidemic that went through the town his mother visited on a trip to see his grandmother and her mother. Ever since he was a boy, Taylor has had a fascination with becoming a tailor as it was a job his mother had before her death. His early life was quite ordinary with no complications or anything of note occuring - other than his mother's death -  until he reached the age of 10.

As a kid, he had never revealed how his mother was able to make clothes so easily until his 10th birthday, where his dad gave him his mother's diary which explained that she had learnt how to use a Molding Magic called Fabric-Make long ago in order to become a tailor. This shattered poor Taylor, who had always looked up to his mother and believed she was a talented tailor herself. In response, he threw everything into learning Fabric-Make as well as honing his own skills so that he could eventually surpass his mother's work and prove that he could make much better clothes with his own strength.

And yet, this passion got him nowhere as he eventually dropped out of school and drove away all his friends as it was all he could think about. This fervour made him a lonely person, though this bothered him little. Eventually, at the age of 16, he was kicked out of his house as his remaining family could not tolerate him any longer.

Afterwards, he began to make money off selling his clothes until he could afford a store of his own. Ever since then, he has dropped his ambition of surpassing his mother as he realised he could never beat her since her clothes were made with a love for both clothes and tailoring, something he doesn't possess. Instead, he has focused on creating the perfect clothing in the hope that eventually he'll make something that has the same feel to it as his mother's clothing.
