Get the Colbymug. Colby is a shy guy who's true personality shows to his good friends. He's an artist and a writer. He has a love for music and his family. He's pretty docile unless you hurt someone he cares for, then you're gonna get a beat down. Colby always has this wispy, faraway look in his eyes, like he wishes he was somewhere else. His imagination is always running wild with new stories and adventures.
