Riley the Jackal-Fox

Riley the Jackal-Fox is a character who appears in The Legend of Fox the Brave. Specifically, he appears in the Light Mobius timeline, as the child of Kai the Fox and Demi the Jackal. As his name suggests, he is a hybrid of a red fox and a black-backed jackal. He served as a warrior of the Hidden Resistance against King Shadow, and befriended Pebble when the old warrior found the resistance movement hidden underground
He is the main protagonist of Shadowed Future: Conspiracy, and is set to appear in The Battle for Spear Pillar
== Appearance ==
Riley is, as the jackal-fox part of his name suggests, a hybrid of a red fox and a black-backed jackal, and thus has aspects of both in his appearance
He is described as having red-brown fur, brownish-black feet and ears and a white-speckled black back. He has a jackal's large ears but the bushy, white-tipped tail of a red fox, as well as the white under-muzzle and belly of a fox. His hands are also the same color as the rest of his body
Aspects of red fox: Red hue to his fur. Dark, brownish-black feet and ears. White muzzle and belly. Bushy tail with white tip
Aspects of black-backed jackal: Brown hue to his fur. Black back with white specks. Lanky frame with large ears and narrow muzzle
== Personality ==
Riley is a kind-hearted individual, but in Shadowed Future: Conspiracy, he is rather cynical and unhappy
Even while living underground, Riley was happy and excitable, eager to find a way to end King Shadow's reign, and to have met a warrior. He is a caring person, and outgoing, if slightly rebellious and stubborn
Five years after the defeat of King Shadow, Riley is having a hard time adjusting to his new life. He has grown depressed and unhappy, taking on a rather cynical attitude. Though he tries to keep from hurting others with his words, he occasionally takes his temper out on Lara-Su, especially after being bulled at school
== History ==
Before the Series: It can be assumed that some time before Shadowed Future, after Shadow took over, Riley was born to Kai-a blind red fox-and Demi-a deaf black-backed jackal. As he grew up, Riley quickly learned how to communicate with both of his parents according to their respective disabilities
=== Shadowed Future ===
Riley is the POV of the prologue. He creeps out of a hidden tunnel to view the outside world, remarking it as beautiful. He makes note of the situation of the Worlds under King Shadow's rule, remembering his father's angry words. Kai had stated that because of King Shadow's rules, Riley's very existence broke the law, as hybrid Mobians were against Shadow's law. His thinking comes to an end when an Arcanine exits the tunnel, reprimands him, and snatches him up to take him back inside
Some time later, Pebble unknowingly runs into Riley after a civilian accuses him of trying to steal. Constable Knuckles interferes, breaking up the argument. He tells Riley to remove his hood, hiding to Pebble at his hybrid heritage, as the Lycanroc notes that Riley's face is narrower and his ears larger than a typical red fox's. After the encounter, Riley and the magpie accompanying him leave the city
Later that night, as Pebble is howling, he hears an answering voice, asking him to meet in the forest. This voice is later revealed to be Riley, who lives with the Hidden Resistance in the forest. Riley is eager to finally meet another true warrior of the Storm Fighters. Riley tells Pebble about his surviving children, though he is reluctant to let him in, knowing the Resistance would not let in someone from the city in. He promises to meet with Pebble the day after tomorrow, and to speak with the higher-ups of the Resistance in the meantime
When they next meet, Riley takes Pebble into the entrance of the Hidden Resistance's underground camp. Once Pebble is acquainted, Riley meets up with his family, and is mostly unseen for the rest of Pebble's visit
Riley later learns from Pebble that Shadow's forces arrested Lara-Su, Miles, and Sonic, and are likely searching for the Resistance. They spread the warning to the Resistance, and Riley rushes to help his family. The group escape into the open air, but they are quickly subdued and captured by the E.S.T. It's later revealed in Shadowed Future: Conspiracy that Riley was taken to be held separately, to be presented to King Shadow
Though Riley is not seen for the rest of the story after this, but after King Shadow's defeat, he settles in Portal with his family, and enrolls in the local high school

== Trivia ==
Riley is the second true Mobian hybrid to appear in the series, after Cody
* Whereas Cody is a hybrid that can occur in the real world(a wolf-dog hybrid), Riley is not. Red foxes and black-backed jackals not only live in entirely different habitats, but are not compatible genetically speaking
