I dont know what to think about this character, I like his design except for the circles... and I really dont like majority red characters, might change that later

backstory:
Jeremiah was an experiment way back, when LGBTQ+ was frowned upon. He was created by a group of gay scientists who nicknamed him Project Jeremiah and wanted him to help the world recognise and embrace their community, but he was ultimately a failure. When they brought him to life, he was unresponsive and grey.
go forward a couple decades, a new scientist found him and a note from the previous scientists locked in a storage unit. He started working on a new formula and injected it, instantly bringing colour to Jeremiah's life. Unfortunately the formula was not strong enough to fully awaken Jeremiah, and he was locked away again.
Travel through time to 2013, and a normal little girl found him and another note. She thought he was just a big teddy bear and brought him home, flinging the note in a box, and she kept him until she was all grown up. The little girl is now an adult and still loves him, and then finds the old note while cleaning out her house. She reads it and realises Project Jeremiah's potential and starts developing yet another formula, which is actually just a hug of sadness. This (somehow) wakes him up but he now is bisexual, and still touched by his past (paws). He lives with his "little" girl and goes around hugging people and bringing joy to people's lives.
