Flynn "Flynn Rider"
Gender:
Male
What do they hoard?:
Flynn lives right next to Disney World in a Everglades marsh. He likes to just sit and watch as tourists go by, taking pictures and lugging suitcases. They have always fascinated him and so, during the summer, he will sneak into the theme parks and hotels and snag different trinkets of theirs. These trinkets are sometimes as simple as a pair of socks and a Mickey Mouse toothbrush or as valuable as a fanny pack with the owner's wallet still inside. He doesn't do this to be malicious or mischievous; he simply is curious as to why these people are flocking to such an unusual spot for a vacation. The weirdest tourist stuff he has collected is a book about birdwatching in Shanghai, an Incredible Hulk action figure from 1989, a sweater from the London Olympics, and a stapler shaped like a roll of sushi. Most of what he collects is Disney-related, but he will bring along anything that is remotely novel or appealing to him.
Extras: (optional)
I got up, ears twitching as the newest busload of people came by. They spoke in excited voices, walking towards the gates of the city inside. At least, I thought it was a city. Why else would all the people be bringing so many things inside? Today was the day I would finally find out exactly what was behind there! I jumped up, grabbing near the top of the fence, careful to avoid the razor wire at the tip. Launching my body over, I landed on the ground in a catlike way. The first thing that hit me was the smell. Oh! The smell! Roasted corn exploded in carts, giant turkey legs grilled deliciously, and kids carried melted ice cream in waffle cones. My mouth is watering just telling you about it!
A small child pointed to me, "Look, Mama! It's Kanga from Winnie the Pooh!"
The kid ran over to me and caught me in a bear hug. I hadn't been expecting that, so I just patted her gently in the head. I had no idea who or what "Kanga" was or "Winnie the Pooh" for that matter, but if it helped me to stay here longer, I'd play along. I walked down the street, dodging the huge crowds that hustled in every direction. A few people stopped me to take pictures, but I was able to make my way down to the enormous tower in the middle of this strange, wonderful place.
The tower, or "castle", as some of the humans called it, was decked out in gold, elegant blues, and white. I can't even begin to describe how tall it seemed. Below it was a pond that had a bridge that ran under the castle and I crossed beneath the marvelous structure to see... a festival. There was a carousel with two dozen painted horses and cheery music. I skipped up and got onto one of the seats, ignoring some of the odd looks that cake my way.
With the music and the horse going up and down, I felt as if I was king over the entire little city! Unfortunately, the ride eventually stopped and I had to get off. People were looking more and more suspicious of me and I knew my time had come to leave this little land of fun and joy. Retracing my steps, I went back to the quiet spot between the buildings where I had entered but before I could leap up to leave, I looked back at this beautiful place.
Goodbye, I thought, a little remorseful at leaving so soon.
I'll be back again. I just know it. With that, I threw myself up over the fence and back into my home in the marsh.

All Things Flynn
ALL THINGS PHYSICAL -Flynn has a scar on his right leg from grazing the razor wire once while jumping the fence to get in to Disney. It has faded over the years but still reminds him of how much he loves the vacation spot and the tourists.
-His tail fur is thinning a bit in the middle from being petted by so many people who believe he is a Disney character.
- The Disney character he is most often mistaken for is Kanga, the kangaroo from Winnie The Pooh, but he has also been thought to be Tramp from "Lady and the Tramp", Scamp, who is the son of Lady and the Tramp, the Big Bad Wolf, and even Stitch. Afterwards, he just laughs and thinks to himself that some people need to brush up on their Disney movies.
-His hind legs are unusually strong, even compared to most Viscets, due to him jumping over the twelve foot fence each time he visits the Magic Kingdom.
-After a while, he decided to blunt his claws to make himself seem less imposing to tourists.
ALL THINGS QUIRKY
-Flynn loves popcorn. He can't resist whenever someone leaves it lying on a table or a bench. Nothing is as tempting of a treat to him as popcorn and an ice cream bar. Whenever he finds a dollar bill, he saves it to use for treats.
-Besides souvenirs, he has quite a collection of animated movies, all of which he has watched dozens of times.
-One thing he cannot stand is seeing a crying child. When he notices one, he will oftentimes go over to them and attempt to play peek-a-boo or pretend to chase his own tail. If they are happening to cry because they are scared of
him, he pretends that he is scared of him and will cover his eyes, peeking out over his paws nervously.
- All the employees know fully well that he is not a character but since the people seem to love him so much, they let him stay. He has not found this out yet.
-His one flaw is he can be a bit greedy at times. If he sees something that he wants, he
will have it, even of it means a bit of thievery.
-Flynn's mother died while he was still young, just like Walt Disney. This may be another reason why he feels such a connection to the parks.
-He has been known to stay with and comfort young children if they get lost. Whenever the parents find their child, it usually means popcorn for him, a win-win situation.
-Flynn is excessively paranoid, which can be seen through him still jumping the fence to get in despite the fact that the staff recognizes him and that he will not allow anyone who looks suspicious into the park.
