43. Leroy

Leroy is a magical familiar, belonging to one Traci 13. He's a beast of arcane origin, summoned by her to assist her in, well, magic life.

Leroy was first encountered in El Paso, hanging out with Jaime's (the new Blue Beetle) friends. Leroy had a problem - the gang of La Dama had kidnapped Traci. Now, Leroy has telepathy - he's a magic creature, so why not? Pretty early on though, Leroy established his catchphrase "Chip please". And thus he rode along with the party, requesting chips and hoping they would help find Traci.

After a few weeks in El Paso, as a group, we weren't fully sure on how we wanted to resolve the city (war between El Paso and Juarez, La Dama and the Weeping Woman, separated by a wall of corpses aside the Rio Grande), so it was left alone for a bit. This is where my person investment comes into play.

My character, Saoirse, is a witch. She too has a familiar - a prehensile stick that curls around her wrist and can be used as a magic wand, named Twiggy. So from the get-go, I had an with Leroy because I'm the only person with a familiar. And meeting Leroy was both sad and inspiring. See, Leroy was disappointed that we had not yet rescued Traci - and all he had to do in the meantime was hang out in the sink of our mess hall where he could get warmth and free food. But Traci is everything to him - she's his raison d'etre. So with all the devotion he could muster, he pleaded with Saoirse to go rescue Traci. This made deciding the fate of El Paso/Juarez a little easier - I would go, and I didn't care what result we chose, as long as we got Traci out.

Anyway, we did as such, and now Leroy, like Pocus, is perhaps more accessory to Traci than hanging out on his own. He has a new catchphrase "Traci, no!" as his mage treats him like a pet and teddy bear a little more than the rest of us did. He still hangs around in those scenes, but Leroy doesn't get as much solo adventure time, though that might change if Data 7 (Ermine's dog) allows the iguana into his gang.

One of the cutest things - Leroy and Twiggy are best buds. Leroy is always excited to see Twiggy, and will extend a claw for Twiggy to bomp. Then Twiggy likes to get on Leroy and ride him around. They are absolutely adorable. I even have art of the pair.

Oh, and Leroy can get massive and destructive. Just don't tell Traci he can do that!

Hint for 42: This character has an alliterative name
