“	At the end of the challenge, The two of us will confer whether or not you fit the bill. So It would seem that your fate rests in my tiny tiny hands.	”
—Naven Nuknuk, Prison of Plastic, Chapter 4: From the Heart

Naven Nuknuk is the CEO of STEM. A few weeks ago he started teaching speech classes to Molly Blyndeff and her friends. He is later kidnapped by Lorelai Blyndeff, to impress Giovanni Potage, before being saved by Molly Blyndeff.

Physical Appearance

Naven is a short adult man with a slender build, fair skin, bushy eyebrows, and messy lime green hair with a long cowlick (resembling a green apple). He wears a dark green cape, over a green sweater, which he wears over a white button-up shirt. He also dons light yellow and lime green pants (held up by a dark green belt with a red and lime green buckle), a pair of green slip-on shoes, red glasses and a single red heart-shaped earring hanging off his left ear. In his artwork, he can be seen holding a red apple.

Naven is a sweet, gentle teacher who enjoys helping others to a fault. This is why he teaches Molly, Trixie, and Phoenica interpersonal communication skills. He is a pushover, evident by the fact he gets bullied by literal children, but can stand his ground when the time calls for it. Despite what you may be led to believe, Naven can sometimes be scary or intimidating if somebody messes with his students or his loved ones in general, like when he was persistent in having Lorelai “kill him”; egging her on and messing with her head. Naven is seen to be emotional as well, and will start to cry if others do, like something contagious. Overall, the man wants to help everyone and everything, but when people don’t listen, the giving teacher persona washes away.

History

Past

One day he went on an errand and somehow came back with agreeing to give a little girl named Molly Blyndeff interpersonal language classes. He would continue to do this with them for a while and even having her friends, Phoenica Fleecity and Trixie Roughhouse, join in.^[2]

Naven says that it is important to find a way to deal with stressful situations, he copes by writing lesson plans. Molly comments that he is usually writing lesson plans. Naven looks up at her sadly.^[5]

That Beautiful Sound Cover

Naven, acting as a salesperson for the Sweet Jazz Census Bureau, rings the doorbell at a house. Giovanni answers the door, with a plan to scare Naven. Naven states that he is part of the “Sweet Jazz Census Bureau.” Giovanni interrupts him by shouting in gibberish. This confuses Naven, causing him to leave, but cheerily says that he will come back later, with a ^_^ emote, despite his disturbed tone of voice.

Molly is one of Naven's students who promptly gets warped into one of Lorelai's "bubbles" together (Along with Rick, Trixie and Feenie). They are likely on good terms because of this.
