Fellow Honest / Ernesto Foulworth

A smooth-talking fox beastman who styles himself as an honest and upright fellow, winning people over with his silver tongue and affable personality. He roams the world with his bosom buddy Gino, scrounging up money any way he can. Ernesto is the appointed manager of Playful Land. He appears in the Playful Land's Miraculous Marionettes event story as its main antagonist alongside Gino. Ernesto is a tall fox beastman with orange shoulder-length hair (that turns white at the tips), orange irises with sharp pupils, fox ears, and a tail. Despite being a fox beastman, those are the ONLY animal features he has. He has dark, angled eyebrows, green eyeshadow, and a black top hat with an emblem of Honest John resting on his head. He wears a white dress shirt covered by a light green vest and a maroon cravat, green pants with the left side covered in multicolored and multi-patterned diamond-shaped patches. Donned over this interior clothing is a knee-length navy-blue coat with a scarlet inner lining, wrapped by a black leather belt and adorned with golden Playful Land memorabilia. He wears long black-and-white shoes and white gloves that would've given the illusion of elegant luxury if not for the hole in his right pinky finger. He often carries a black cane with a golden fox head. As a grandiose quick-talker, Ernesto initially comes off to most people as an amiable manager and host, who generously compliments and praises the people he meets. Thanks to this, others think he's a friendly, honest fellow or a sketchy sleaze. Unfortunately, the latter impression is more accurate to his true nature, as he eventually reveals himself to be a lackey tasked to turn all park visitors into wooden puppets and sell them for money. He harbors no remorse for these hapless victims because of his strong belief that the world is a dog-eat-dog one, and he will do whatever it takes for him and Gino to survive. Despite his willingness to work for the powerful mages behind this scheme, Ernesto has a strong dislike for them and their cruel natures, stating that the only thing he thinks they're good for is their money. This animosity towards rich and privileged folk extends to young mages who get to attend highly prestigious schools (like the students of Night Raven College), as they are the objects of his deep-seated envy.

Ernesto is not mighty in both strength and magic, so he relies on his streetwise cunning and charisma to gain the advantage over others. He is especially proficient in lying, where he can stay undetected under Ortho's lie-detecting functions. He is not afraid to play dirty, willing to resort to running away or kissing up to people if it ensures his victory. While some would call his tactics "cowardly", he insists that he's "playing it smart", and he looks down on those who view the world with a naïve or optimistic lens. He holds an immense distaste for schools, especially magic ones, because of their unfairly selective and exclusive nature. Deep down, however, he dreams of studying in one and seems to hold the value of education in high regard, seeing it as a good path to true prosperity, joy, and success. Despite being far from honest, Ernesto is a highly resilient fellow, sporting the capability to navigate any situation and outsmart his opponents while harboring a zeal for fun theatrics and snappy comebacks. Ernesto seems to have come from "dirt-poor" origins and doesn't mention his childhood, except that people placed high expectations on his magical abilities. However, because his magic was considered weak and minor, good arcane schools disbarred him. This sparked his grudge against these institutions while he set his sights on tricking and scamming people for a living, eventually meeting Gino and taking him under his wing, bringing him along on his wily adventures.

Ernesto Foulworth's Signature Spell is called "Rose-Tinted Dream; Life is Fun". It's a spell that doesn't require a large amount of magic, and when it's used on unsuspecting people, the targets feel a "smidgen" more positive to the point where they are more inclined to go along with whatever the caster suggests or offers. However, while it may be a useful spell, it can be countered when the targeted person is too guarded, distraught or shows no signs of interest. It is also more effective when the target is surrounded by peers who are easily persuaded than conversing with the target one-on-one. This spell essentially requires its caster to bear a silver tongue and great charisma for maximum efficiency, qualities that Ernesto prides himself in having.
