Tobias is very attached to his pet snakes named Toffee, Cocoa, Coffeebean, Lylian, and Emii. If any of his snakes are in harm's way from someone who is about to hurt them, Tobias will do anything to protect all of them no matter the costs. He is very attached to each of his pets including a Corn Snake named Toffee, a Red-Tailed Boa with the name of Lylian, a Ball Python named Coffeebean, a Rattle Snake named Coco, and Emii who is a Green Tree Python. Toffee, Coco and Coffeebean are male while Lylian and Emi are female.

Although his siblings are right when they describe Tobias as serious, and incredibly silent. Tobias also has a soft side. This side of himself is shown only for his closest friends including his pet snakes, and that's why his siblings never see it. But he isn't lying. When he gets alone time with his father, he and Kiril explore art. He loves his father's works. Gorgeous, painstakingly detailed woven rugs and tapestries depicting the beauty in life and in everyday items. His father once showed him his collection of thread that he uses to depict Apira at work. It was over a year's worth of bundles of slightly different shades, each with its own place and purpose.

That level of detail is something that Tobias struggles to bring to his personal relationships but finds with ease in his own chosen art, he loves to sculpt. Within his sculpted art, he expresses his thoughts and personality. His personal style is very beautiful, interesting, and full of extreme detail. His primary inspiration mostly consists of the beauty in nature, what nature naturally creates, and creatures that are genuine and fascinating. The challenge in getting something stationary to look like it's frozen in the midst of movement was what possessed him initially in his works of art. He had to study anatomy and physics, as well as practice and practice and practice. But the calmness in the creative process is what he likes when sculpt.

The rest of the time, his mind wanders away reading textbooks, manuscripts, documents, and diagrams that his elder siblings mail their parents. Art History, Geometry, Physics, Algebra, and Engineering are some of what he reads to name a few. He loves to learn, but ultimately the subjects serve to give him more ideas and inspiration for his sculptures. And of course, he still makes time to take care of his pet snakes who he deeply cares about. When the time comes for Tobias, he hopes that his work serves as motivation for young sculptors who are as talented and skillful as him. Despite the efforts that he put into his works of art, he knows that there's so much more to learn in Sornieth.
