Your character is a Disney princess.

What is their charming comic-relief animal companion?

Or are they the charming comic-relief animal companion?

Depends on who you ask.

Some would say Alpine.

Some would say Rocket Raccoon.

(Bucky would say he's not a Disney princess, but given a review of the available evidence....)

*cracking up*

(Moll points out that her first codename was Princess Powerful. She's just saying.)

[nerves_of_ice]

(Bucky says that's perfect for her but he likes 'Sparkle' better.)

[behind_me]

Rocket Raccoon is taken.

[nerves_of_ice]

Tell him that. Please. He keeps trying to steal my arm.

[behind_me]

If you give it to him he'll leave you alone.

[nerves_of_ice]

Not a chance in hell.

[behind_me]

Oh no, he definitely will.

(Bucky is ttly a Disney princess)

Ignoring the literal Disney Princess who I haven't apped yet, and the fact that Simba's got three comic relief friends and all his friends are animals:

Obi-Wan has Cody. I thought about Anakin, but nope, Cody is an adorable white-and-orange puffed out shoulder owl.

Fives and Echo are each other's adorable animal companions.

Dick is Bruce's adorable animal companion.



And Gamora? I guess her adorable animal companion is... a mudhorn

Bastion has got this. The only reason their journal isn't named configuration_disneyprincess is because it was too long. Anyway the animal companion is Ganymede, obviously.

Wilson's animal companion is Chester the furry treasure chest with legs, except maybe if this is one of those hip modern Disney movies where the main characters initially hate each other, in which case it's probably one of the antagonistic monsters in unusually friendly form like a talking hound or something. There's also the option of a smallbird; maybe in a Disney movie it'd be less likely to die. Or one of the Critters from DST.

Thurlow has a lot of options; Fallen London has an even wider variety of weird animal companions (most of which canonically talk) you can have in-game. The most likely ones would be a Rattus Faber or a tame sorrow-spider, both of which they have plenty of in canon. Other possibilities include various pet bats, a few unusually large bugs, assorted weasels including one that's locally famous for its singing, and a very fierce hat with eyes and teeth.

Aradia and Cirava have built-in animal companions because they're trolls; a lusus is not entirely unlike that, though sometimes with neither charm nor comic relief. I've Millicanoned that Cirava's lusus is a giant wasp, and Aradia's is visible for like one panel in canon and she's a sort of cross between a sheep and a kangaroo.

Wormwood probably has one of the Carrats or Saladmanders from Don't Starve Together, since they have difficulty finding animal friends in the singleplayer game, and even the more energetic plants are more like fairweather allies than actual friends.

Ahsoka would have(already has) Morai, a convor (owl-like critter) that follows her around.

Sabine already has Ezra. She doesn't need another comic-relief companion. :P

[bjornwilde]

Continuing...
Jessica would have a peacock jumping spider. Not sure of the name but it acts very tough guy to everyone but Jess. To her, he is a very mother hen type.

Viv has Sparky, a terrier with a similar powerset to her. Well, at least the phasing. It is very dog-like; loyal, cheerful, and chases small things.

Tybalt having an animal companion is kind of hurting my brain. I could see some sort of shadow spirit? Likely quote Shakespeare all the time, but only the juicy stuff.

Alustin has a cat named Lore. I'm tempted to give her wings as I love winged cats. She is sneaky and always getting into places she shouldn't be.

Ben is the animal companion. :D

[ceitfianna]

For Cassian, that's easy, its Kay.

With Quentin, it should be Raj though Raj wouldn't like that and instead argue that one of the non Fae cats or Spike should be the sidekick.

Hm, its actually kind of odd that Charles doesn't have an animal friend, I could see him with cat.

At times, Yrael has been a companion to Sameth, but less comic relief more threaten people.

[awkwardbot]

YT has some kind of large dog, of course. Even odds that it’s a slobbery dog.

Abe no Seimei is the animal companion - a wise, helpful, but also slightly annoying and prone-to-teasing magical fox.

Murderbot would be some kind of grudging, foul-tempered animal companion, but very handy in a pinch of course.

[inlovewithwords]

Tavi: is, in fact, the animal companion to Kitai XD Canonically even! (not sure about comic-relief tho)
Derius: I... honestly don't know. I'll edit if I think of something.

R2: his charming comic-relief companion is C-3P0.
Anakin: R2 and 3P0, when he's capable of having comic-relief.

Lois: does jimmy olsen count I know for daemon I've said ocelot, but I feel like some sort of dog is more likely for comic relief animal companion. Couldn't say for sure.

[bjornwilde]

I am certain Kitai sees him as the comic relief or at least would say he is to anyone who asked.

[chanter1944]

For Sariel, definitely a little bird or two. Possibly also a larger one, on the order of an owl or similar. I'd include some kind of tropical fish as well, but I'm not sure how that'd work without a magical comic relief fishbowl, and that'd be zero fun for the fish.

[canttrickmeanymore]

Peter: does Ned count? p sure Ned counts.

Harry: 3 options: Mister (cat); Mouse (dog); Bob (air spirit)
