Personality
Bachelard enjoys taking journeys around the world by themself, and their second-favorite activity is journeying with others. In Japanese, they habitually close sentences with "petan" (ぺたん), a common trait among putties.

Appearance
Like all other putties, Bachelard's body is made from grey mashed konjac. Their figure is oddly square, and they have a pair of beady blue eyes.

Magical Vacation
The party first encountered Bachelard at Ville de Souris, asking a souris salsemen if he had putty peas in stock. Unfortunately, the souris did not seem to know what putty peas were, leading Bachelard to believe that such an item could not be found in the Light Realm.

Later on, Bachelard wandered around Tapioca Tea Village in the Dark Realm, saying they were returning to the desolate Osim Village with no putty peas, and feared for the future of all puttykind. By the time the party reached Osim Village past Treeman's Colony, Bachelard was seen lying face-down in exhaustion. They would not stand up until Mace was talked to in the locked house at Abos Village, given a putty pea, and chose to abandon Masala Chai Village to live in Osim instead. Afterwards, the party talked to Bachelard and gave them putty peas to help repopulate the village.
