APPEARANCE,With his yellow-tinted wood body and headdress of red leaves Miff looks nearly identical to any other Mad Scrubs you would find nestled within the forests of Hyrule. Like the most common of his kind Miff's only appendages are two short legs on an even shorter torso. A large open snout protrudes from his face, below two red and yellow eyes. There are only a few things that separate Miff from the average lot of Scrubs.
A small leaf grows from the top of the tip of his nose. Miff has had this unique growth since he first started growing his own leaves. It is somewhat prehensile and can be moved back and forth like a lever at his will, usually staying flat down on his snout to stay out of his vision. When pushed upwards however there is a small hole poked in the middle of the leaf(Which was very difficult to do considering that Miff has no hands.) that the Mad Scrub uses as an aiming reticle to help with long-distance shooting.
All Mad Scrubs have a head full of leaves like hair, but Miff has two particular leaves that are much longer than the others and hang down over his left and right sides opposite each other. The leaves connect at the same root and can actually be twirled around when desired, often to express emotion for a lack of hands. The leaves are also a lot tougher than his other small ones, more comparable to a strong leather in their texture. The Mad Scrub wasn't born with these but they slowly began to grow the longer he was traveling about. It is likely they were grown as a side-effect of Miff rooting himself in many different places over the course of a long period of time and absorbing many different kinds of nutrients, increasing and supplementing his natural growing ability
WEAPONS,Propeller Leaves
Two long leaves on Miff's head share a root. By spinning them around quickly he can slap anything that gets too close for comfort.
ITEMS,Miff doesn't even have pants, let alone pockets.
ABILITIES,Grow Ammo
As a projectile-firing plant Miff needs to always have ammunition on-hand... unfortunately he doesn't have any hands. Fortunately this hasn't stopped the Scrubs from doing what they do best: Spitting things! Miff fast-grows ammunition right inside his wooden body, then promptly expels it from his snout as a projectile weapon. The types of shots he can make are determined by what his body is capable of producing.
Air Puff
Without growing any ammunition Miff "fires", releasing a strong puff of air. If used without bracing himself Miff can use this puff to immediately push himself out of close range, avoiding an attack in the process. If used while bracing himself the air puff can blow an enemy's incoming ranged attack of an equal level off-target. Although it uses no ammo it literally takes the wind out of Miff so he can't do it frequently.
[1 Action Slot, No Damage, 3 Turn Cooldown]
Deku Seeds
Miff collects a gathering of six Deku Seeds to fire in rapid succession, sacrificing some accuracy for sheer numbers as the extremely hard pellets spray out in front of him. Consists of 6 attacks total and can select multiple targets. Targets out of close range can freely avoid half(Rounded up) of the Deku Seeds aimed at them without using a guarding or dodging ability or an Action Slot, unless they are immobilized or slowed down by any active effect.
[2 Action Slots, Low Damage, 3 Turn Cooldown]

HISTORY,
Born in Faron Woods, Miff was never really all that different from the other Mad Scrubs that inhabited the area but he was from the ones of old. Previous Mad Scrubs lacked the sentience of their cousins, but a century of time had slowly allowed them to adapt and intelligence was sprouting among the breed, if you will excuse the accidental pun. Despite this they all were still violently protective of their territory just like their preceding generations, spitting out hard nuts in rapid succession at any other creatures that dared to intrude within their space, and left their spots usually only to serve the Deku King in some capacity.
Miff in particular was always quite enthusiastic about shooting down any Kokiri or Skull Kids who wandered too close to his area of the forest, but unlike what many assumed it was not because of his love for the land. Instead Miff enjoyed shooting at people on a completely different level than pure instinct, actually finding amusement and fulfillment in landing successful hits on targets and beating them away. He got a thrill out of a successful shot and a laugh out of seeing others get knocked by the Deku Nuts he sent at them. He became known among his shrub-burrowing neighbors as the best sharpshooter among all the Deku Scrubs in the Faron Woods and Sacred Grove. Mind you, since they didn't move this only meant he was thought of this way by the two other Mad Scrubs occupying the same general area, but that was good enough for Miff to think himself invincible.
One day fate sent a seasoned traveler into Faron Woods seeking out a friend who disappeared there. The old warrior was more than prepared when Miff popped out of his bushy home and began to spit nuts with frightening accuracy and enthusiasm. The human's metal shield blocked every shot easily, something the Mad Scrub had never seen before. Miff could do nothing to prevent the man from getting close enough to whack him with his blade, which sent the two-legged plant popping out of the ground and running around wildly in a panic. Suddenly it occurred to Miff that the man wasn't raising his shield any more but coming in closer for another swing, the killing blow in fact. In an unfocused reaction the wooden creature did what he loved mos: He spat another finely-aimed Deku Nut at the much taller human. The blow landed right between the man's eyes and sent him falling back onto his behind in surprise and pain.
Miff had to take a moment to examine his situation before realizing what he was doing. It was instinct for Mad Scrubs to be rooted in their flowers for their entire lives and protect their land. Here he was, standing on his own two feet on solid ground and not desperately trying to return to his bush, a fallen intruder lying before him to boot.
It was incredible!
Due to his shooting skills none of the forest's normal inhabitants had ever uprooted Miff before and his unpleasant personality and had kept anyone from inviting him to serve in the Deku Palace, but now that he was out he actually enjoyed it. It didn't take long for him to realize that he could travel around, not to see new sights, but to find new things to shoot! No longer was he bound to wait patiently in a subterranean plant for new targets, he could seek them out all on his own!
In the time afterwards rumours of a loose Mad Scrub spread around all the provinces. Silly rumours spoken of only by a small handful of people bruised by precisely-aimed nuts out of nowhere while riding from one place to another, but it was enough for Miff to think himself famous. Even towns like Kakariko Village weren't completely spared the childish and harmful playing of the spitting prankster.
One thing that has always made Miff angry, or at least angrier than he is by default, was something a Business Scrub told him one day on a visit back to the forest. Miff was bragging about how he was feared across most of Hyrule but the Business Scrub, the Deku breed that are the most eloquent and capable of interacting well with other races for acts of commerce, informed him that such was not the case. The people saw him as just an annoyance. A pest, even. He was told that people didn't consider such weak monsters as the Deku Scrubs to be that big of a deal, or even really as monsters at all anymore as they once were. Having thought himself as quite the infamous legend due to his ego Miff didn't tale that well at all. He began to purposefully seek out larger, more feared monsters like Wolfos to shoot down, sometimes even rescuing Humans or Zoras with his nuts just to then laugh at them and taunt them for underestimating his abilities.
Angry at the world but ready to challenge anything, Miff aims to become the most feared creature in all of Hyrule!
