~ Beacon Pines ~

~ Luka VanHorn ~

Luka is a young deer with white fur, small brown antlers and fluffy ears. He lacks a clear hairstyle, with tufts of fur at the top of his head and around his horns. He does, however, have eyebrows which are (like his eyelids) dark brown. His eyes are chestnut brown. Normally, he wears a maroon Christmas sweater adorned with red and white patterns and an orange neckline, cuffs and hem, alongside black shorts, white socks and brown sandals. At night he wears a green and white sweater with a print of a night sky behind pine trees, plaid green shorts, teal slippers and white socks.

PERSONALITY:

Luka is a child who, despite having lost much growing up, is nevertheless trying to move on. He is social and talkative. He is smart and creative, especially for his age, and attentive to the strange events in Beacon Pines, many of which have gone unnoticed by the adults of the town. In critical moments, he always tries to think of a solution, avoiding freezing up, though he can be prone to fear and stress in scary situations. He is adventurous, even when the place he wishes to explore could be dangerous. Luka tries to be good friends anyone who respects him, but he can lose his patience with anyone who breaks that respect. He is sensitive about his family, often getting sad or outright crying at the mention of his mom or dad, and being furious at those who speak ill of them.

BACKGROUND:

Born in Beacon Pines, Luka lived a happy childhood until the age of 6. He had a best friend in the form of Rolo Cotter, often went fishing with his father, and his father’s bond with Joseph Nuncreed was strong enough for Luka to think of him as his uncle. He was also (and still is) a big fan of the Hank Atomic comic series, which is something he and Rolo bonded over (the latter even asking Luka to keep his copy of “The Adventures of Hank Atomic: The Complete First Volume” at his house). Despite this, there were some negative parts known, such as the “Flaming Chicken Coop” incident, where Luka took the blame for a fire that started in the Cotter family’s chicken coop so that Rolo wouldn’t get into trouble.

–––

~ Rolo Cotter ~

Rolo looks like a young, chubby hybrid of tiger and lion (liger)[5]. He wears a dirty-dark teal pair of work overalls and a black t-shirt underneath to match; Rolo also wears a pair of sandals. His eyes are light blue. He has a rather thick set of Brown-Orange fur with white accenting stripes that cover Rolo's head and tail - a trait passed from his mother. His fur is very poofy making him look even larger compared to his friend Luka.

PERSONALITY:

Rolo is a hyperactive child who always looking forward to find adventures for him and his best friend, Luka. He is very active and really a chatterbox. He gestures a lot, always stomping with excitement, running and shouting as well. Rolo was the first to have noticed strange activity in Beacon Pines and has no problem to invite his friend to investigate something dangerous and mystical.

He is very imaginative, creative and initiating. Rolo often offers Luka crazy, and more often than not, improbable plans on how to solve the hard situations they find themselves in. He is good at engineering, - seen in the branch MCDC - Rolo had been able to create whole treehouse, with the help of his friend Luka. - Rolo calls this treehouse: Mission Control, - being a true fan of the Hank Atomic comic series. Rolo is such a fan that he, and Luka are at the top in the waiting list for any and all new issues that come out. This isn't saying that nobody else in the town doesn't read Hank Atomic; in fact if Luka goes into the library he sees a few regulars start to read Hank Atomic. He is also very superstitious, talking about aliens and zombies when any strange activity happens.

Rolo likes to dig in the trash to find something useful, he is not afraid of being dirty. Manners, subtlety, or any common decency are not his forte. Rolo has been friends with Luka for a long time and they respect each other. They've had a lot of fun playing, getting in trouble, and more. Rolo always remembers adventures from their past, like the burning chicken coup incident. He also respects his father, often quoting him.

Despite Rolo being thick-headed, he can be very caring, cheerful and understanding. When Luka really misses his family, Rolo always there to comfort him. When his friend in despair, he will be there for them. However, Rolo, being as thick headed as he is, may overstep boundaries from time to time, as much as he tries to give his friends enough space to calm down from his antics, Rolo wants to be there for his friends, even if he is the problem. Rolo isn't a stoneface, and can be easily scared when it comes to more stressful situations, such as meeting his own older sister Roxy after skipping his daily chores. When Rolo acts cowardly, he'll start to panic and even scream, not knowing what to do. In these situations he needs someone, like Luka, to calm him down.

~ Beck Moedwil ~

Beck is a cat with black fur, with the inside of her ears being a shade of hot-pink. Her hair is messy, and she has yellow eyes with pale dark green irises and black pupils, as well as a bandage across her nose. She wears a crimson T-shirt with long white sleeves and a collar that extends to her lower neck. In addition to black shorts, she also has a pair of dark brown shoes with thick, white socks that extend over her lower ankles. Later, she decided to use her mother's chemical kit to dye it blue and starts to wear a black beanie

PERSONALITY:

Beck is best summarized as a curious kid who is very socially intelligent but struggles with handling emotional situations. Her mother’s constant moving between jobs means that she has gotten to know a lot of people and learn how different people act, making her quite adept at manipulating situations to her liking. This has, unfortunately, also stopped her from establishing long-lasting relationships with people her age. That combined with her parents insisting she quickly makes new friends whenever they move has caused her to view the process apathetically, with her eventually taking to tricking other kids into pretending to be her friend so that her parents can stop worrying about her.

Throughout the game’s events, Beck doesn’t always consider the feelings of others, asking invasive questions and often making disparaging comments. She’s not heartless, however, as she also feels guilty for disliking her family’s constant moving, and as soon as somebody she cares about is in danger, she’ll do anything to save them.

Likely due to her being tired of going through the process of integrating into new places, Beck can end up making reckless decisions, even possessing an “Unlucky Penny” to make choices for her (though she always goes with the opposite choice). She is intrigued by the strange occurrences happening within Beacon Pines, and is willing to put herself in harm’s way to satisfy her curiosity, despite her longing to be a “normal kid”.

Beck often feels alone, and while she would say she prefers it that way, it causes her a lot of frustration. She is also shown to be quite clever, being able to manipulate and trick adults whilst managing to keep a level head during tense situations. She brings a more methodical and sceptical approach to the trio, and without her, Luka and Rolo would likely have been unable to figure out many of the town’s mysteries

––– OTHER CHARACTERS: –––

~ Juniper Hartford/Gran~

She is Luka’s kind Grandmother. She’s at the age of 63, has small round glasses that rest on her snout, brown fur, long Lucious thick gray hair, and she often wears red and dark red. She usually has Luka give her jars of jam to the Diner owner and other adults, and she is the only caretaker of Luka since Luka’s mom is missing and his dad is deceased.

–––

~ Roxy Cotter ~

Roxy Cotter is the older sister to Rolo Cotter. Roxy looks similar to Rolo (since they're both ligers), sharing their orange/white fur covered bodies, striped tails and black-tipped ears with poofs of white fur coming out of it. She towers over him height-wise (initially), however, and is also much slimmer and has long, red hair with a ponytail. She wears a light red t-shirt with white accents on the collar and rolled-up sleeves, and has a brown belt with a yellow buckle holding blue denim jeans. For footwear, she has dark red shoes and light gray socks with a red rings at the top (though this detail isn't present in her sprite, and is out of sight in her portraits).

PERSONALITY:

Roxy serves as an authority figure for Rolo and his friends, taking charge in serious situations and making sure her brother doesn't get into trouble and does his chores. She acts stern most of the time, though can be compassionate when the time calls for it, as seen when characters like Rolo and Luka get upset.

BACKGROUND:

Prior to the events of the game, her family's farm was one of the most heavily impacted by the Foul Harvest. Even after Perennial Harvest performed their deep scrub of the town, a lot of what they dug up was either rotten or small in size. This had caused her and her family to redouble their efforts, trying to make up for their misfortunate with more work. Her younger brother, Rolo, often gets into trouble. This has caused her to also get reprimanded by her parents due to being the one watching over him, and has made her less tolerant towards his antics.

–––

~ Ilona Moedwil ~

She's an albino ferret with white fur and long hair tied behind her back who also has a pink nose and red irises. For clothing, she wears a tan sleeveless sweater over a light blue, long sleeve, collared shirt, as well as a long brown skirt. Ilona also has brown leggings and shoes (teh laces of which are a lighter shade of brown).

PERSONALITY:

Ilona cares heavily for her family, constantly letting Nelly (and anyone willing to listen) know how proud of her she is and trying to comfort Beck as she struggles with the move to Beacon Pines. She'll do anything to protect them, but can get frustrated when they insult her, and whilst encouraging to Beck, she is also stern towards her due to her sharp tongue and tendency to get into trouble. She also cares a lot for the plants she grows, to the point her daughter thinks she's better at talking to plants than people.

BACKGROUND:

Growing up in a town similar to Beacon Pines, Ilona has been a gardener for a lot of her life. At some point in her adulthood, she married Nelly Moedwil and the two adopted Beck. Due to Nelly's talent as a chemist, the Moedwil family has moved house several times, and while Ilona didn't like leaving her jobs, she decided that her wife's happiness was more important. And yes, she’s a lesbian.

–––

~ Nelly Moedwil ~

Nelly is a gerbil with light orange fur, short brown hair, green eyes, and a rose nose. For attire, she has a red, cotton, long-sleeved turtleneck sweater and a long, dark, gray dress that covers most of her lower half, save for her black shoes. She also wears large, golden-framed glasses with round lenses.

PERSONALITY:

Nelly is very scientifically minded, having dreams of making the world better as a chemist, which lead her to habitually pour herself into her work. However, this passion can cause Nelly to distance herself from her loved ones, such as how she's often too busy to spend time with Beck (though she tries to make up for this via "high-tech overcompensation"). Despite this, Nelly shows throughout the game that she loves her family, even wishing to throw a celebration when Beck makes her first friend in Beacon Pines.

BACKGROUND:

At some point in her adulthood, she married Ilona Moedwil and the two adopted Beck. Due to Nelly's talent as a chemist, the Moedwil family has moved house several times in order to support her career, with the most recent move being to Beacon Pines after she was interviewed to be Dr. Prescott's replacement. And yes, she’s lesbian.

–––

~ Iggy ~

Iggy looks like a young, even childish jerboa with prominent tail and two front teeth. He wears mint shirt with a single brown button at the center. He has a pair of white striped green pants and brown belt holding his tucked shirt. He wears brown high-soled shoes and white socks. His fur is yellow and is always very-well groomed. His hair also combed to the side in a wave, being blonde colored at the top. The inside of his ears are pinkish-red. His eyes are piercing-cyan. His common facial expressions always tricky and insidious.

PERSONALITY:

Iggy is known throughout the town as a local bully and he doesn't have many traits different from a city hooligan. Being accompanied by Tish, this duo is always looking to fight with other kids. Iggy tries to rile up and provoke others to get attention, because he is bored. He often taunts and makes fun of others, intentionally bringing up things that people are sensitive about to provoke them further. Iggy has experience in talking to others, smiling and laughing while his opponent may be already enraged and/or crying. Iggy sincerely loves the business of toying with people and enjoy breaking things with Tish to have fun and fight boredom. That's why Iggy can easily be interested in some kind of deal if it involves breaking things.

–––

~ Tish ~

Tish is a young gray rhino with light brown eyes, neatly styled brown hair that's tucked under a yellow sunhat, that matches her bright yellow dress. Said dress has ruffle trimming and is worn over a white, collared shirt, which possesses an orange ribbon on the chest section. Another ribbon is wrapped around her hat. She also wears black shoes with white socks, and her face always has a smile on it.

PERSONALITY:

Tish isn't very enthusiastic about talking, making her a great fit for the ever chattering Iggy, who she's thankful towards for doing all of the talking.[3] This doesn't mean she lacks emotions, though she usually agrees with whatever Iggy says and does. Whenever she feels empowered enough, however, she allows herself to say full sentences on these very special occasions, rather than the usual "Yup".

She assists Iggy in various pranks and bullying, often being treated as the muscle of the duo. The two care a lot for each other (likely due to their lack of other friends), and she is never once seen without Iggy throughout the game.

–––

~ Joseph Nuncreed ~

Joseph Nuncreed is a dog with primarily brown fur, though the patch above his nose, his eyebrows, “moustache” and underbelly are tan. He also has brown eyes and a red nose that has a pair of glasses with thin, semi-circular lenses sitting on top. Clothing wise, a dark red sweater vest decorated with a light brown diamond pattern covers his white collared shirt, the sleeves of which are rolled up to the elbows. His brown trousers are held up by a belt, and he also wears black shoes.

PERSONALITY:

Nuncreed is a man haunted by his past and present actions, and yet struggles to find the strength needed to disobey orders from Sharper even when he knows what he's doing is reprehensible. His primary motive through most of the game's branches is to get his business with Sharper finished as soon as possible while also attempting to avoid doing harm to others, as he ultimately wants to help those around him, though he is willing to dirty his hands if anyone interferes with what he thinks "needs doing" (the man does show remorse for the things he does, however). Despite his fear towards the Founder, he often speaks critically of him as well as Perennial Harvest when they aren't present, and can be vocally frustrated when The Clipboards badger him for something.

While wishing to help people however he can, Joseph is also fully aware of his own needs, and begins working with Sharper in order to line his own pockets (though he reasons this will allow him to help others more easily). He can also be stern when the time calls for it, and doesn't mind halting Luka whenever he has a plan to get closer to Gran, even daydreaming about how much he likes her in front of the young VanHorn.

BACKGROUND:

Joseph used to be a close friend of Walter VanHorn, the two considering each other brothers, and Luka (Walter's son) referring to him as "Uncle Nuncreed". As Walter was a doctor and Joseph a pharmacist, they often worked together in order to help people to the best of their ability. One such case was when Mr. and Mrs. Wilby were diseased (allegedly) by their tap water and Walter asked Nuncreed for assistance, though their efforts proved not enough to save their lives.

Soon after the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Wilby and 6 years before the events of the game, Sharper Valentine approached Joseph and Walter as he needed help understanding Tempus Liquamine, and was willing to pay them handsomely if they agreed to assist him. While Walter declined due to his distrust of Sharper, Joseph accepted the offer as he thought the best way to help others was to "help yourself now and then". Walter begged his friend to reconsider, even saying “Joseph, if a person says ‘yes’ one time to Sharper Valentine, he’ll make sure they keep on saying ‘yes’ to him until the day he’s dead and gone”.

Despite his partner's wishes, he went on to work with Sharper, causing a falling out between the two. Afterwards, he stopped visiting the VanHorn household and eventually ceased most interactions with them after Walter's death. Due to this, Luka forgets about Nuncreed ever being his "uncle" as well as any relation he had with his father. Even with Sharper "dying" alongside Walter, however, the man is forced to continue his work for him (and by extension Perennial Harvest), seeing opposition against him as futile (even when he finally sees the wisdom in his partner's words).

–––

~ Dawn ~

Dawn is a bat with brown fur and a tan-colored mane. Her nose and the insides of her ears (which go through her hat) are red, with tufts of brown hair inside of the latter. Her eye color is grey, and her mouth has two fangs that peak out of the top. For clothing, she wears a dark-red V-neck pinafore dress with a brown windowpane pattern over a long-sleeved, white poet shirt. She also possesses a reddish-brown flat cap adorned with a light-brown bow on the right side of it. For foot attire, she has brown shoes alongside thick, white socks that extend over her ankles.

PERSONALITY:

A somewhat reserved young girl, Dawn is determined to find a story that’ll be her big break into the world of reporting, almost always seen working (or at least sleeping whilst stationed at her stand). She often shows her skill at investigating, being able to eavesdrop on multiple occasions unnoticed and being able to accurately deduce a lot of the mysteries she uncovers. She’s also shown to be kind, trying to help Luka find out what happened to his mother and caring for his safety. Dawn also has a tendency to be a bit gloomy, supporting being skeptical and trusting in dire rumors.

BACKGROUND:

During the day, Dawn runs the Up at Dawn Newsstand, selling papers whenever she isn’t asleep (which is often the state she’s found in). At night, she hunts for the story that can fulfill her dreams of becoming a big-time reporter.

Before the events of the game, she starts work on a story about The Valentine Family’s business, and on the side keeps an ear out for anything regarding the whereabouts of Luka’s mother.

–––

~ William Kerr ~

William is an adult hyena man, with menacing and fake smile. Kerr has long powdery/ivory blond hair. It is braided at the back, and it appears that the ends of his hair are slightly darker in hue. At the front, it is combed back and over to the side. He wears a longsleeve white button-up shirt with the sleeves halfway pulled up. Over the shirt is a striped green buttoned vest that appears to be made out of silk. He wears a tan bowtie around his neck. He has khaki/beige colored pants and brown leather shoes with laces.

PERSONALITY:

Mr. Kerr is a two-faced liar; a bilker, if you will. He keeps up a fake persona in public, pretending to be a friendly concerned executive. He acts peppy and outgoing towards everyone, wearing his fake smile. He tries to form friendly connections with everyone to uphold a positive reputation and to manipulate people more easily. He is gregarious to a fault, being incredibly talkative to the point of others finding his rambling to be an annoyance. In reality, Kerr can be very cruel and berating, especially towards his underlings, the Clipboards. He insults them when they do something he doesn't want them to do, whether his demands were properly communicated or not. He can be quite unpredictable with what he wants which only makes this more difficult.

He claims that he is a part of Perennial Harvest and helping the town of Beacon Pines because he saw potential for growth, but truthfully, he is there for his own selfish purposes. He doesn't care who gets hurt when it comes to accomplishing his goals; said goals being to become youthful and live forever so that he can salvage his acting career, as his true identity is Patrick C. Montesquieu. Sharper Valentine was the one who gave him this opportunity, after finding him in a terrible state because of being unable to continue his passion in theater due to aging. Kerr is a very desperate man and will do anything to keep his legacy alive.

Kerr is full of himself; he is very pompous. The song that plays during his speech is even titled "Pomp." He sees himself as someone who strives for greatness, while those who get in his way are merely obstacles that need to be removed from the picture. He calls himself a "thespian extrordinaire" at one point, and has written a memoir about himself, calling himself the greatest acting mind of their time. His arrogance leads to the detriment of him, as it is the cause of his downfall and mistakes that could have easily been prevented.

He is a professional actor, which allows him room to take on roles and false personalities. He is also generally good at handling the public and doesn't stray away from attention or anything related to public speaking. He loves to hear himself talk and he loves when people give him attention. When he isn't pretending to be someone else, he uses a lot of thespian phrases and it is clear that theatrics had a major influence on his life, all the way down to his speech patterns. Mr. Kerr is terrified of Sharper Valentine and is completely submissive to him, listening to his every demand. Compared to how Kerr speaks with everyone else, he is very meek when speaking with Sharper, which is a sharp contrast to his confident and loud demeanor.

–––

~ The Clipboards ~

The Clipboards are all red pandas with the same swirled tuft of brown hair on the head and brown eyes. They all wear green, buttoned-up sweater vests over white collared shirts with brown ribbon tie around the neck, black gloves and brown pants and shoes. Clipboards are also often seen with a clipboard and paper.

PERSONALITY:

Clipboards are almost always chipper (even when a situation makes said optimism inappropriate), constantly voicing their wish to make the world a better place. They're extremely loyal to Perennial Harvest, working tirelessly to get tasks done even when morally compromising and feverishly questioning the residents of Beacon Pines to the point of infamy for what they see as a brighter future. They also have several phrases that are repeated throughout the game, namely as "Our harvest awaits!" and “We’d love to hear your thoughts!”.

BACKGROUND:

After Sharper Valentine was exposed to Tempus Liquamine, he left Beacon Pines in order to orchestrate a plan that would allow him easier access to The Source, let scientists refine Tempus Liquamine so that he can make time his plaything and figure out how to prevent anyone in the town from rebelling against him. He eventually settled on creating Perennial Harvest, which he filled with multiple look-a-like employees and, as it's figurehead, William Kerr. Aside from having them serve Kerr, he tasked the look-a-likes with asking the residents of Beacon Pines questions in order for them to discover the townsfolks' greatest fears, which he would use as leverage to ensure they'd stay in line.

While each of them have names (as proven by Pete and Toby), the children of Beacon Pines take to calling any Perennial Harvest employee with a pad and paper a "Clipboard"[1]. It is unknown why they all look identical.

–––

~ Mrs. Fratelli ~

Mrs. Fratelli is an animal possessing light coral fur with brown hair, eyebrows, eyes and tail. She wears a teal button up dress with white sleeves, lapels and collar alongside a white ruffled half apron containing a notepad and pen. She also has brown shoes with blue-gray laces.

PERSONALITY:

Mrs. Fratelli cares deeply for the VanHorn family, though is prone to offering sass to those she isn't as close to. She is also determined to do anything within her power to protect those she loves, assisting in Gran's plans and speaking up against Sharper Valentine in one branch.

BACKGROUND:

Mrs. Fratelli was close to Eleanor VanHorn prior to her disappearance and trusted both her and Luka take over the diner when she was away. At some point before the events of the game, Gran convinced Hiram and Mrs. Fratelli to join her in conspiring against Perennial Harvest, using jars of jam to deliver messages to avoid suspicion. They eventually discovered The Source and learned that it produces the unrefined Tempus Liquamine (which altered Eleanor's appearance to what is seen in Beacon Pines' modern day, a fact Fratelli likely knew of). Due to the substance ruining a large amount of Eleanor's life and wishing to stop whatever Perennial Harvest was planning, they decided to destroy The Source, with preparations being nearly complete by the time the game begins.

–––

~ Hiram Tolliver ~

Hiram Tolliver is an adult squirrel with brown fur with tan undersides and possesses a lot of brown hair on areas of his face, including his messy hair, bushy moustache and thick eyebrows. He also has red tuffs of hair in his ears, a red nose, brown eyes. For attire, he’s dressed in a buttoned-up green sweater vest alongside a brown collared shirt with rolled up sleeves. His trousers are brown and requires a belt to hold them up, and he also has black shoes with brown laces. On his face, he wears a brown pair of square glasses.

PERSONALITY:

Hiram is shown to be rather timid, being easily startled, evasive to any sort of risk and cracking under pressure during stressful situations. He is also effortlessly duped (as seen when Rolo and Beck trick him), and proves to be unsubtle (a fact plainly illustrated when he tries to pass obtaining a secret message as a jam delivery). Despite being unprepared to tackle the mysteries of Beacon Pines, the man tries his best to prevent any further harm to the town, and occasionally manages to be capable. His daughter also finds him embarrassing and, according to Mrs. Fratelli, he makes a habit of being late to meetings.

BACKGROUND:

At some point before the events of the game, Gran convinced Hiram and Mrs. Fratelli to join her in conspiring against Perennial Harvest, using jars of jam to deliver messages to avoid suspicion. They eventually discovered The Source and learned that it produces the unrefined Tempus Liquamine (which altered Eleanor's appearance to what is seen in Beacon Pines' modern day, a fact Hiram likely knew of). Due to the substance ruining a large amount of Eleanor's life and wishing to stop whatever Perennial Harvest was planning, they decided to destroy The Source, with preparations being nearly complete by the time the game begins.

~ Sharpner/Solomon Valentine ~

Sharper Valentine appears to be a Doberman. He wears a black suit over a white long-sleeved shirt with a tan tie and button. He also possesses black shoes. On his statue in Town Square, he is depicted with a top hat.

PERSONALITY:

Sharper Valentine is narcissistic and egotistical, believing himself to be a genius surrounded by a town of fools that need him to survive. On multiple occasions in the game, he makes irrational choices in order to make himself look clever, like having passwords and titles be simple anagrams and rushing deadlines to meet occasions in order to have his reveals feel more spectacular. He constantly belittles others and demonstrates his authority (even to his own children), earning him a negative reputation with many people in Beacon Pines, and is largely blamed for the degradation of the town.

When Sharper wants something, this can lead him to demonstrating how merciless he is to anything or anyone in his way. If anyone breaks their loyalty to him, they are often killed so that his secrets aren’t spread. To analyze Tempus Liquamine, he doesn’t mind forcing children to be test subjects despite its proven harmful nature. The man also shows little remorse for any of his actions, seeing it all as trivial as long as it get he “deserves”.

BACKGROUND:

For many years, the valley that now sits Beacon Pines was originally a small mining outpost. It wasn't until Sharper Valentine built his fertilizer company “Valentine’s” that Beacon Pines was officially established as a town. While only having seven citizens (who all worked for a mining company) at the start of its founding, it soon grew when the effects of Valentine’s fertilizer became evident, to the point that the next 30 years of the town’s existence had all of its residents either work for Sharper or use his products.

At some point, he had two children; Heiress and Augustus Valentine. He also tried to set time each month for a dinner with his son, though didn't always succeed.

STATUS: THOUGHT TO BE DEAD, BUT IS SECRETLY ALIVE AS SOLOMON

SOLOMON ALTER EGO:

Solomon appears to be a young Doberman with brown eyes and a torn left ear. He wears a green sweater vest over a white dress shirt, along with dark teal trousers and black shoes.

PERSONALITY:

Described as “creepy” by Beck, he is a kid with a mysterious streak who tends to sneak away to places unknown without letting anyone know and do things others view as strange. He speaks formally and often speaks down to those around him, most notably insulting his family behind their back, though he does attempt to offer condolences and generally maintains relationships (though these actions can be seen as ultimately self-serving).

BACKGROUND:

When Sharper Valentine died, he left behind a Last Will and Testament that stipulated that, if Heiress wanted her inheritance, she would have to take on Solomon as her ward. Later, Solomon arrived in Beacon Pines with a lawyer beside him.

–––

~ Augustus Valentine ~

A young-adult Boerboel, Augustus has brown fur and eyes, though the fur for his eyebrows and ears are a darker shade than the rest of his fur. He also possesses long hair tied behind his back and a black nose. For attire, he wears a blue-gray suit with trousers of the same color, a white collared shirt, a tan tie, and brown shoes.

PERSONALITY:

Being put into the position of mayor by obligation and not by choice, he is fully aware of his incompetence in the role, especially when compared to Perennial Harvest's efficiency and how they often manage affairs fine without him, and so tries covering it up by attempting to seem busier than he really is. Because of this, he holds a lot of respect and trust towards William Kerr, and willingly defends even his more suspicious behavior due to what he’s done for him and Beacon Pines.

He greatly looks up to his father’s legacy, viewing him as the reason why the town is as successful as it was and taking many of his lessons and beliefs to heart. Despite this, he’s not fully blinded by his admiration, as he also blames the town’s decline on him.

BACKGROUND:

When Perennial Harvest offered their assistance with the town (namely with The Foul Harvest's aftermath) after his father’s death, Gus was made mayor with assistance from his sister so that he can find out their “true intentions” while also maintaining his family’s legacy. His father had him work at an early age, and that they would have lunch together once a month (though Sharper was sometimes too busy to attend).

As he’s a different breed of dog to his father and sister, and how (according to Dawn[2]) there are rumors Sharper had children with multiple women, it’s possible he and Heiress share different mothers.

–––

~ Heiress Valentine ~

Heiress is a saluki with dark gray and white fur, with some of it around her head falling down to her shoulders, whilst some of the gray fur is plaited behind her head. She also has green eyes and a black nose.

Like her father and brother, he wears a black suit over a white long-sleeved shirt with a tan tie and button, and also possesses black shoes.

PERSONALITY:

A lot of her mannerisms and beliefs come from her father. Like him, she sees the unwealthy as lesser, is controlling of the people around him (especially in regards to Solomon), and can take extreme actions in order to get what she desires (though not nearly to the extent of Sharper).

She strongly believes that Sharper's legacy should be preserved, constantly taking issue with the papers published by "The Beacon Beacon" when the Valentines aren't portrayed in a manner she finds appropriate and aren't given sufficient attention. This is also the reason she despises Perennial Harvest, as they position themselves as the future of Beacon Pines, and her discovering their suspicious activity makes her suspect they want to blame whatever they're planning of her and her family.

BACKGROUND:

When Perennial Harvest offered their assistance with the town (namely with The Foul Harvest's aftermath) after Sharper Valentine's death, Gus was made mayor with assistance from Heiress so that he can find out their “true intentions” while also maintaining his family’s legacy. A few years before the events of the game, due to her father's Last Will and Testament, she had to take on Solomon Valentine as her ward or else lose the entirity of Sharper's inheritance.

As she’s a different breed of dog to his father and brother, and how (according to Dawn[3]) there are rumors Sharper had children with multiple women, it’s possible she and Augustus have different mothers

–––

~ Beacon Pines ~

The town is small, and it’s presumed that the timeline takes place in somewhere in the 80’s or 70’s due to lack of internet or things like gaming consoles. There’s stuff like rotary phones and phone booths, and kids usually go to the library or explode the forest or read comics or whatever compared to how people would do stuff in the modern days.

There’s a library, a Diner called The Last Chance Diner, a Newspaper stand where Dawn works, Nuncreed’s Pharmacy/Drug Store, Town Hall, a Fountain, and other buildings and homes. There’s even a farmer’s market, too. And of course, not-so far in the forest there’s the Treehouse Luka and Rolo made that Rolo always calls the “Mission Control”. The name is based off of the Hank Atomic series.
