Toby is a scrawny child. He is only about 5'6, much to his dismay. He has short brown hair that is, on most occasions, unkempt. It would appear as if he had been deprived of a brush for quite some time. On a good day, you'll find that he only has a few scattered dirt stains on his pale face. One of his best features is his eyes. They are a piercing blue shade, and despite their mystique, they only add to his pathetic appearance.

history (2 paragraphs or 15 detailed bullet points):
Tobias Ragg was never what you would call a special child. His parents didn't ever plan on having children. Life was hard enough caring for just the two of them. But his birth was welcomed, and they took it all in stride. It wasn't easy having a baby. What with the plague going around, and poverty surrounding them, life wasn't exactly a picnic. They tried though. Peter went to work every morning before the sun rose, and returned well after dark. Because of his career he missed most of Toby's childhood. He did savor the few moments that he could spend with him though. Peter worked as an assistant to a butcher, which was far from being pleasant. But it did bring home some extra food for his family.
However, as Toby turned eight years old, a great tragedy struck their family. Peter had fallen ill with the plague. Immediately, young Toby was dropped off at the orphanage where his mother swore she would return for him. "Once your father is well." She had said. Unfortunately, that day never came. Peter passed on only a few days later. Toby never came to know of this news, as his mother never came to retrieve him. Rather, he ended up with Signor Adolfo Pirelli; King of the Barbers. Though he endured abusive treatment, he stayed with the man. For five years he worked for Pirelli. Until one day, a gentleman came. Todd, his name was. Sweeney Todd. When Signor Pirelli went to pay him a visit, he mysteriously disappeared. From there on, Toby worked for Mrs. Lovett at her pie emporium.
This went on for nearly a year. As business continued to grow, his suspicions toward Mr. Todd grew as well. Something wasn't right about that man. He tried to warn Mrs. Lovett, but she wouldn't hear an ill word against Mr. Todd. Finally, the day came in which his suspicions would be proven. After being locked in the bakehouse, he discovered the dead bodies that lined one of the alcoves. Putting one and two together, he came to a disturbing conclusion. Temporary insanity ensnared the senses. He was in a word, crazy. When the authorities came, they found him bloodied, standing over Mr. Todd's lifeless body. Though he muttered crazily, they threw him in Fogg's Asylum. Nearly a year later, Toby slowly regained his sanity, and escaped. Now, he's trying to convince anyone who will listen that he had been, all of this time, sane.
