Roy

Roy is a Slushie Puppie, a species of canines that are partially made of snow and slush to protect themselves from the cold environments they inhabit. However, instead of growing up in the cold climate that he was born for, Roy grew up in the deep south.

Roy's grandfather was a slush pup, and his mother told him that was where he got his slush from. Roy was never able to meet his grandfather, but he wears his slush with pride - and minor annoyance, since it often melts everywhere and makes a mess. Roy and his mother had an extremely strong relationship despite the fact that his father left before he was born. He also had his cousin, Bella, who was a slush pup like he was. Still, despite the support and love around him, Roy was far away from where most slushers were. He grew up under blistering sun and without any snow, and it took a toll on him. His mother always told him that, if all else failed, he should head north; that was where his grandfather was from, after all.

When Roy was thirteen, his mother disappeared without a trace. Roy waited a week before taking her advice and heading north, hoping that he would find her waiting for him there. On his way he ran into Nico, a jumpy little pup that was completely on his own, and instantly felt the need to help the kid. Not long later the two found Ebony, a quiet and cold slush pup who didn't speak about her past, and then helped free Creature and Puddle from a labratory transport. The five of them made their way together to the northern tundra, and Roy found that he was finally surrounded by his kind. He is still looking for his mother, but he has made his own family in the process.
