[OC][Art] DeeDee the gnome(?) (Description + Plot twist in comment)

DeeDee spends the first 12 years of his life with who he thinks is his family; a village of garden gnome statues. Self sufficient, reliable, and with contagious joy, he was able to get into a party for a journey after craving adventure.

[SPOILER] Later on, it is revealed that Deedee is not a gnome at all, but a Yuan-Ti. It explains how for 12 years he was kept safe despite being a dumb kid; he was unawarely being protected by snakes.
