Not shown and nothing besides solitary confinement is brought up regarding their past, but Puzzle and Sling clearly did not have a great childhood.

Unintentional, but the fingers on Sling's model are visibly very cracked as a result of the animation process.

Whilst both Puzzle and Sling show symptoms of some mental illnesses, Puzzle in particular displays violent tendencies at times, at one point even going as far as throwing a drill at a guest.

See "Does someone use drugs?". It's unclear whether or not Puzzle's an alcoholic.

Puzzle is clown-like and holds a job akin to one, but isn't a clown per se.

No actual drug use on screen, only implied; it's only a small detail in the background (which is pretty blurry for the film's entire runtime anyway), but on the table is an ashtray and several used cigarettes and cigarette boxes (revealed to belong to Puzzle as shown in a behind-the-scenes video which shows the set only, no characters to be seen). Alcohol bottles are scattered around the table and on the bookshelf as well, but no one is shown drinking either.

Puzzle makes a crude joke at the end about how "the PTC can suck [her d*ck]", but nothing more.
