## Bio *from the Top Wing Annual 2020*

Rod is an *ever-ready rooster* with a need for speed. When he takes to the streets in his *Road Wing*, Rod can really shake a tail feather no matter the terrain or the weather!

Off the road, he's a *bundle of fun and energy*, charming the crowds with his silly jokes and his corny sense of humor. Rod would do anything for his friends and he always tries his best.

## Appearance

Rod is a young, thin, white-feathered Rooster with a signature comb on his head, bushy tail feathers, slightly thick brownish-gray eyebrows, orangish-red eyes and a bright yellow beak. He is shown to be the second tallest out of the cadets - being taller than Brody and Penny but slightly shorter than Swift.

In Season 1 and in the first half of Season 2, Rod's original attire consists of a red shirt with a single stripe on the darker-colored long sleeves' biceps. He also wore a red watch on his right wing, dark blue jeans with thick, darker-colored stripes on the sides and red sneakers with shiny darker toes, followed by white shoelaces and soles along with a white stripe design on the sides.

His Level 1 uniform consists of a dark red and white helmet with accents that is a slightly lighter shade, along with a microphone attached to it. He wears a red button-up shirt with two white stripes on each of the long sleeves, followed by a silver pin adorning the right side of his shirt. He also wore white pants with thin red stripes on the sides, a black belt with a gray buckle around his waist and red boots with the toes and the single strap colored in a darker shade, followed by white soles and a stripe design on the sides which resembles the design on his sneakers. His watch is strapped in its usual place.

In the second half of Season 2, Rod changes into a dark and bright yellow striped shirt under a button-up red vest, which includes a few patches placed on the white long sleeves and one patch on the left side of the vest's front. He also wore blue jeans which has a much simpler design compared to his old ones, and he wears the same sneakers from his previous attire. His watch is strapped in it usual place.

His Level 2 uniform is somewhat more detailed than his previous uniform; he wears a helmet similar to the previous helmet, only some parts of it are colored in a much brighter red with black accents. He now sports a detailed red shirt with a small red button located on the high white collar, black and white details on the bottom, along with the back of the long sleeves colored in black and his badge printed on his left sleeve, with a metallic red and silver pin with darker red details adorning the front. He wears a set of single-buttoned dark red driving gloves with a rectangular-shaped white patch placed on the hands, a similar belt with a shimmering-silver design on it, and the same pair of pants and boots from his previous uniform. His watch is strapped in its usual place, and he also wore black elbow-pads since he now does motorbike riding.

## Personality

Rod enjoys running and riding on his vehicles, the Road Wing and Rooster Booster. He also likes singing and dancing, as well as performing to a crowd. He is the dim-witted comic relief of Team Top Wing, but despite his lack of smarts, he cares deeply about his fellow cadets. He often worries a lot for his friends if they are in trouble. Rod is loud and energetic, sometimes impulsive as he expresses his emotions and thoughts quite openly. He is easily worried and scared of a lot of things, but his courage and persistence help him overcome those fears. He hates places that are said to be haunted such as the Haunted Cave, but he'll go into them if it's required for a mission. He also can't stand water or getting wet.
