Neigh Moe Bear

Neigh in OYS #1

Neigh is a leading protagonist and the brother of the main character, Yat Francis Bear, in the *Official Yat Show* series. He often takes on the role of a logical voice within the Show that his brother founds, helping to stay the others' hands from rash decisions.

### Appearance

Neigh is a Bear with brown fur and bushy eyebrows. He is on the shorter side but is fairly muscular compared to others his age. He seems to exclusively wear a button-down top of some kind. His eyes are of the normal variety, though when possessed by Harriet Melodus his pupils were replaced by the symbol of eighth notes.

### History

#### *Flashbacks*

Before the main continuity of the OYS series, Neigh can be briefly seen as a baby being fed through a bottle by his father, Theodore Bear.

#### *Official Yat Show #1 - The Beginning*

Neigh's debut was in *OYS #1*, appearing in the third scene of the comic, where he and Yat are waiting for their caretaker Gregory to come out from the basement for breakfast. Neigh appears concerned about him, until he comes in the room bearing his journal, which he opens to the page about Yat and Neigh's mother, Annie. Neigh doesn't seem to particularly care about the journal, being hasty to begin eating after they finish going over the pages.

After Gregory gets brutally murdered at the hands of a robot, Yat and Neigh reminisce about the special connections they shared. Neigh focuses more on the deep history of who Gregory was and how much they may never learn now that he's dead.

Neigh's thirst for knowledge leads him to eagerly seek out the journal once Yat requests it, leading to the two stumbling on the pages about the deity Kuokak. Neigh then proceeds to chant the New Aspalian scriptures on the pages and ends up transporting the two to the realm of Kuokak, where they encounter a group of Spawned and a head worker by the name of Wally. Neigh continues to push the workers to bring him to Kuokak, though fortunately for him the deity is able to appear close behind them. Neigh begins to ask Kuokak some questions, but he cuts Neigh off just as Neigh is about to ask a question about the future, revealing his maligned intentions. Neigh appears to be unsurprised at this reveal, calling it cliche. The bears are able to find a portal back to their home, and quickly flee before the Spawned are able to catch them. Once they get back home, however, a Dusimian by the name of Dr. Sockerton Simar confronts them, asking about the whereabouts of Gregory's journal. It is soon revealed that Neigh likely dropped the journal while fleeing the Spawned in the realm of Kuokak. Neigh is dismayed at this fact, but Dr. Simar soothes his concerns by explaining the dangerousness of its presence, since so many bad actors wish to possess it.

Soon afterwards, a news report comes on relating how Wally and Brad were attacked by a shapeshifting robot outside the Chicken Teepee. Yat immediately jumps to action, but Neigh is more cautious this time, noting that "you'll get yourself killed". Dr. Simar finds a peaceful compromise between the two points of view, but Yat and Neigh's opposing levels of zeal continue to be a source of minor conflict throughout the comic, and throughout the whole series.

The next morning, Neigh proposes a possible theory as to who Gregory's murderer is in the form of Marvin Mole. Dr. Simar points out that Marvin has been dead for twelve years, having been killed by former Shower Alfred Gello. Neigh is not happy that his theory was debunked, but is hopeful that they'll find some evidence about who killed Gregory later when they go to the Deinaspia Stinky Cheese, close to where Wally was kidnapped. Unfortunately, they end up walking right into the middle of a battle between two rival gangs that patrol the areas around downtown Deinaspia. Neigh is somewhat curious about how the gang battles work, and continually asks questions during the fight.

Yat, on the other hand, gets fed up with the disruption to their lunch pretty quickly, and decides to battle both gangs, leading almost immediately to him being held hostage by one of the Arkaea present. In order to release him, Neigh uses his farting superpower to create a massive explosion in the flaming restaurant. After the smoke clears, Dr. Simar enters the room with President Undergrowth by his side and the two formally declare the Yat Show as a new government organization.

That night, Neigh is up late going through a book of spirits in order to try and figure out who killed Gregory. When he makes it to the page about Harriet Melodus, the room goes dark and she appears, immediately possessing him and forcing him to attempt and fight Yat and Dr. Simar. The possessed Neigh is then taken to a nearby holding facility, where Dr. Simar places him in a Dark Stone-reinforced cell, suspecting spiritual possession. Sure enough, Harriet Melodus leaves Neigh's body once alone with Sockerton, and she attempts to attack him but is stopped by the spirit known as Stripes. Neigh remains largely incapacitated through this fight, though Yat is able to wake him up near the end, with him having no recollection of the events leading up to the battle. Neigh later confronts Dr. Simar about this, asking for answers regarding the spirits and his history with them. When the Hutchingson siblings show up at the Bear household, this thirst for knowledge only deepens as Sockerton reveals that Theodore was not actually murdered by Alfred Gello on the Last Night of the Show, but instead ran away.

This obviously brings up a host of new mysteries, but at first Neigh doesn't seem particularly interested in learning the whereabouts of his father. He is shocked, however, to discover that Mack was the designer of the robots that killed Gregory Frictus. While Neigh waits on the rest of the Yat Show to make a decision about whether or not to go after Mack immediately, he sits down with Betty Hutchingson and turns on the TV, flipping to his favorite show, *Sun the Sun.* Despite its incredible simplicity, Neigh still greatly enjoys it, though Betty does not share his enthusiasm.

Neigh remains in Gregory's house until an emergency call comes from Dr. Simar to meet in Deinaspia. The entire Yat Show arrives and are met with an incredibly angry Adaptoid. It is during this battle that Neigh comes out as gay, and also when he and his brother combine their superpowers to attempt to blow up the Adaptoid, who unfortunately sees it coming. Together, they are able to destroy the Adaptoid, even when they have gained all of the combined Show's powers, by disorienting them and then blowing them up from the inside. The gathered crowd of onlookers begins to cheer the Yat Show on as Yat tells their story, cementing the new Show's legacy in Stuf-Land.
