Description
     The second Hatter that I am willing to reveal details about is the first to start a controversial trend within the Hatter society that became quite unfavorable. Not so much as what he was while he worked with us; in fact, when with us, he had been the best host for the spot of Gluttony; so much so, that he was also assigned the role of Greed, an aspect that can ONLY be given to someone who has greedy traits naturally attuned to them, as seen with gluttony. It's for the last hours of his position, that the society of Hatters sank downhill...

     The Hatter had started off as a fairly plump rabbit with a bright green fur base, along with white splotches in random areas. His eyes were a dazzling, pure blue, while his smile was almost child like with innocence, or perhaps the weight packed on due to the aspect he had been assigned. Although taller than me, he was assumed to be shorter as his affro was of a most awkward shape. He never was much for words (could barely talk anyways with the rate he stuffed himself silly), and would go about and do his tasks while the rest of us were taking a brief resting break.
      Being the aspect of Gluttony, this Hatter was to go about and prevent people from doing harm caused by the mentioned trait within humans as it grows. For the most part, to prevent excess use of Earth-based goods and eating excess amounts of food (which he apparently never taught himself...could be that the assigned job demanded the shape...I won't question it.) It was a simple enough task for the rabbit; perhaps too simple, which is why he agreed to taking the aspect of Greed .

     The Greed side had began to change everything; to fully understand what you are trying to prevent and fix, you must be fully acquainted with it. Just as Grim experiences death often, and Batten lives quite the busy and tedious schedule, both have their times of rest from work. This was, also, true for the currently discussed Hatter. Unfortunate for him, his free time was spent more towards gambling instead of eating. While some had expected such a change, Tuition and I were the only ones worried about the mirror effect in attitude and personality.
     The once jolly and plump rabbit began to change as time went on; the weight he once packed on that forced him to hop about on both feet, seemingly melted off his form, leaving him very trim and capable on walking much as the rest of us. His eye's healthy glow turned into a dull glazing effect, while you could almost see the greed within them. His innocent chats about his job and recent snacks had become boasting of gambles he recently won, and how he was planning in starting companies within the Hatter Grounds. Once more, only Tuition and I paid any regard.

     It wasn't until the Hatters were called to my house for the first time, that the views began to change. The call was not heeded, until the rare sight of Tuition flying over had been noticed, and the whole town scrambled to get every one there, tripping over one another in the process, much like kids when it's a snow day and school has been closed. It was I that started out with detailing the changes over time that the plump friend had been experiencing.
     Once I was finished, I took steps to a platform that was covered with a black fabric. With both paws, I gave a firm tug to reveal what hid beneath; the Hatter of Greed and Gluttony, who had changed in many ways; so very many, that most the viewers were unaware of who it was. Fortunate for us, the Hatter was dazed and blinded to our discussion as we detailed his most recent actions that forced such sudden changes....

     The Hatter had just finished saving a Young boy from making a bet that could ruin his hometown, priced in a value of Twenty thousand gold coins(this was some time ago, as you can tell.) Yet, on his way to bring the young boy home, one of Karma's testing agents...or as we refer to them as demons...halted the rabbit, and made an offer that he knew, the rabbit could not refuse;
They were both to roll three dice. The winner with the highest roll would be victor.
Should the Hatter win, the demon would supply a large sum of coin towards the companies he planned.
Should the demon win, he'd steal the soul of the child for his own needs.
     I need not explain that he would lose; in fact, that had been the point. The test was not to win the bet, but to ignore it. Much as some Hatters over-obsess over their position, they tend to cause more problems than benefits. Admitted, we knew he had been stealing money from the human towns, but it was in such small numbers that it was allowed to slide. However, the fact that this Rabbit agreed to such a greedy trade, revealed to the masters that govern the Hatters, that he had spun out of control, and needed to be halted.
     The rolls were made, and as fate demanded, the demon won. With a loud howl of hated and laughter, the demon was quick to slay the young child, while using his free hand to dig his claws into the rabbit's left eye and ripping it out, munching upon it much as one would a ball of cheese...but, with more blood. The Rabbit was left paralyzed in pain while the demon fled with the corpse of the child. The seething influence from the hand of the demon had sunk within the eye socket of the rabbit and forced physical changes that were quick to fester like a fungus.
     The last we saw, the rabbit's colors were changing to a deeper tone; the affro had split into different directions and began to spike in odd fashions. Even his remaining eye began to alter into an uneasy, non-existent shade. The only recovery we had seen was that the hunger that escaped him before had returned, and he began to regain the weight he once had. He swore to forsake the path of Greed and stick strictly to the goals of Gluttony, in hopes of repenting.

     ...but we did not allow it. We sent him off to do his job, in which the Hatters had then held a vote. Nearly the full house had voted to evict the Rabbit from his duties, aside from a small handful of the crowd's weirder fellows; Tuition, Pierrot, Ostego, and myself. Unfortunate for us, the votes were only known by us four, as we set the poll up to ensure every participant voted properly (As the Hatter of Comedy tended to try and flood false votes for his favor.)
     We had no choice, but to make the land's first forced removal of a Hatter. In this process, access to our lands are broken away from the ex-hatter, giving the appearance of the Hatter being lost. It's with hopes that the Hatter dies off peacefully or finds the means of re-obtaining his rights as a Hatter. This, however, was not the case. Instead, he scrambled amongst the lands, feeding off the people, in which he blindly thinks he's actually helping them. It's expected that the experience with the demon has altered his senses, therefore truly taking away his full understanding of what being good or evil is. We were able to monitor his actions for only so long before losing any means of watching him.

     It's been...almost fifty years since that day. From what I'm aware of, the only Hatters who lived since the vote were those of us who voted against the removal of our friend. It's hard to tell as if this was intentionally, or merely fortune. It's been said that the sight of a green rabbit with....interesting....details to match him has been spotted around these grounds, which means that, with the boundary of Hatters broken, he was finally able to return home and set his new home up, with goals of making the rest of us suffer for what he has had to experience.
     I will be unable to investigate this, as I am the key target in sight of his remaining eye. This is quite the shame, as I wish to investigate how his form has changed further...even if I did disguise myself from my form, I would never be allowed in his mansion, as only the "attractive" may visit.

     ...I think I must enforce my power as lead of Hatters to force a certain self-absorbed fox and his wife to take a look into this new home. At the very least, he can slip within the gates and fit in just fine; if I'm fortunate enough, this rabbit will be so jealous of the fox's appearance, that he will forget about my existence all together. After all; jealously is a fun tool to use against the self-caring.
