Slowly figuring out a character

Ya know these people that always say "You can't design a character BEFORE you have a backstory for them!"?
I find it stupid. Like really, all my characters were first just a drawing and then I turned them into a real character.

Sure, I changed them a lot during the process, but still.

Froid and Vaddan were also just a drawing at first and now they're actual characters! 8Patchwork was first a story but I don't really like him anymor eso I'm thinking of giving him away as and adoptable or just disposing of him ;~;
Now that we're talking about it, would anyone actually adopt him? I mean, just design wise)

Either way, I think I'm kinda getting somewhere with Flecks. I'm always first going about how I want the character to be and then find a fitting backstory for them.

-Current design-

(I disposed of the ears again, didn't like them)

-Current info about him-

1) can change colour by eating/touching/"absorbing" different salts (Yes, I'm taking the chemisty route cause I know stuff about that shit XD) though he doesn't do it too often cause it's kinda hard to get his system completely clean from the salt again and because it's exhausting

2) can't let his tail hang down (obviously, I don't think I need to explain why)

3) hates being called cute as he'd rather be mighty and fearsome like fire should be

4) can change his temperature at will, although higher temperatures take more energy from him (btw, to get fire to change colours you need to fire at a really high temperature so that's why it's exhausting for him to change colours)

I don't have anything else yet. ideas are welcome. I'm still thinking about how to explain the heart on his chest but I wanna keep it ;~;

Also, I already have a vague idea (or rather, two approaches) for his backstory, but I'm not too sure about it yet. I'll figure his personality out first...
