Wyssel Wagtail

:"I think he's telling you to go fluff yourself." - Doctor Dogbrain translating for Wagtail.
Wyssel Wagtail is an animated plush rabbit and agent of the UNWD, specialising in pursuit and defense. Formerly the childhood toy of missing Cobra prodigy Samara Cobra, he is training to gain the power to rescue his lost friend.
==Character==
===Appearance===
Wyssel is a small stuffed rabbit with a brown body and cream belly, lower face and inner ears. He has a stitched pink nose and black button eyes. He has no visible mouth.
His mech is around eleven feet tall and resembles an upright bipedal rabbit. Its body is lavender and cream with a triangular black window on its face, obscuring Wyssel's cockpit; magenta buttons on its elbows and legs to shield its joints; an enormous cottony tail, and a large magenta ribbon around its neck.
===Personality===
Wyssel is courageous and stubborn. He prefers to work solo and is highly protective of his mech. His emotional reservation, however, is a result of him losing his owner - having been brought to life by her affection, he was massively impacted by her disappearance, and is highly guarded and cautious of forming bonds with others.
He is adventurous, altruistic and will prioritise the integrity of his ideals over obedience to authority. He will also act out to further his own goals, jeopardising property in favour of his personal desires, though never risking the safety of others. Despite his caution regarding being emotionally vulnerable, and his disposition as the cocky, emotionally guarded ace mech pilot, he is very sensitive to the emotions of others and will offer himself as a shoulder for other agents to cry on.
===Skills & Abilities===
Aside from his abnormal biology, being a living toy animated by a child's love, and his calming presence, he is agile and extremely observant, with incredibly sharp perception skills. He thinks well under pressure, but has trouble communicating to teammates and gets frustrated when ignored or treated as a tool.
His main skill is his mastery of his mech, Ruff Stuffin'. The mech's attacking power is underwhelming, with very poor close-combat damage, but it is quick, mobile and devastatingly defensive. It can fire balls of cotton stuffing that cling to foes and slow them down, and can be ignited by allies into vicious fireballs. Alternatively, the mech can fire sewing pins for a more piercing punch. Ruff Stuffin's primary use is to act as a defensive buffer for more fragile allies, slowing and disrupting fast foes, and ushering civilians to safety.
==History==
A gift given to Samara Cobra, dimensional travel prodigy of the Cobra Family. Though the girl's love gave Wyssel life, and he acted as her plucky assistant as she drew up the blueprints to her first cross-planar travel portal, their friendship was cut short when a storm overcharged the circuits, causing the portal to flare to life and drag Samara to an unknown extradimensional location. The portal then exploded and Wyssel was rended limb from limb.
The toy was then found at a car boot sale by teddy doctor Wendy Lyrik, who took the parts to her clinic to fix. When Wyssel jumped to life, he wordlessly implored Doctor Lyrik to help him achieve the power he needed to rescue his owner. Though confused and conflicted, Lyrik agreed, hooking Wyssel up with his first suit of powered 'stuffitech' armour. Wyssel's acts of training gained the UNWD's attention, and he joined their forces to gain access to their information on different planes, as well as further funding for Lyrik's research into stuffitech technology.
During the Zopran invasion, he operated in a unit alongside Solaris, Wheeler, Two-Time and Graphie. During an enormous explosion caused by their defeating of a lesser zopran general, he grabbed the human agents and leapt out of the blast zone, while Wheeler and Graphie used their extraplanar powers to escape. However, when Graphie was partially caught in the blast and severely injured, Wyssel blamed himself for not grabbing her along with the human agents. He has since been patrolling the UNWD base aimlessly while Lyrik repairs Ruff Stuffin'.
==Relationships==
===Samara Cobra===
:"My... first friend... I understand. I was put here... to save you."
Bright-eyed prodigy Samara Cobra was Wyssel's original owner, and as she would share all of her ideas with him, he'd make minor adjustments to her blueprints as she slept. He feels that he owes a life debt to her, and sees their relationship as both professor and protege, and as princess and knight. His driving goal is to get her back from wherever the portal sent her.
==Trivia==
* Though he cannot speak, his thoughts are often narrated in patchwork bubbles. Additionally, Ruff Stuffin's current voicebox can be loaded with up to ten phrases at a time. These typically tend to be a mix of useful all-purpose phrases, and pre-prepared one liners, all spoken by Lyrik at Wyssel's request.
