(properly) Introducing Kris! The best friend to the player character and the one who will do most of the talking in game. He serves as a pillar for which the main character can lean upon as he struggles.
Here, we have some simple sprites for him, a standing and a walking one, respectively.
Kris will be an emotive person, so expressions will be important for him. Thus he will have some emotive sprites!
