Protagonists

Kobolds that have been defined as "player characters" are the protagonists of "Kobold Quest," and are the only entities within the story subject to directives from the community. The kobold being currently "followed" can be changed by community command, or at the whims of the author.

*NOTE: As the actions and words of the protagonists are driven by suggestions made by the player base, it can be argued that such motivations and character traits do not belong to the protagonist. As such, whenever possible, character traits that reveal themselves when they are not under player control will be considered more legitimately associated with the protagonist.*

Blueberry Kobold was chosen from a selection of four nameless kobold characters to be the initial playable protagonist of the first run of "Kobold Quest" on February 23rd, 2019. Readers were introduced to Blueberry as she floated in her living quarters in her undergarments due to a lapse in ship-wide artificial gravity.

#### Relationships

* **Gooseberry** - Gooseberry is Blue's neighbor to the immediate left, their quarters connected by a ventilation shaft. Prior to the events of the comic, their relationship seems to have been civil, if somewhat strained due to Blue's propensity to cause accidents.
* **Raspberry** - Raspberry is Blue's neighbor to the immediate right, their quarters connected by a ventilation shaft. Blue and Raspberry have been known to party together, including getting "trashed on Kanar" and making questionable decisions while shopping online.

#### Known "Facts"

* Blueberry's crew number is AZ5193.
* Among Blueberry's initials tasks was "Find a job," as readers met her on her "first jobless day." Later, upon encountering Gooseberry in the ventilation in her lavatory, Goose becomes angry when asked for "tools," pointing out Blue had just been fired from the Engineering department for an undisclosed reason.
* Blueberry has an embarrassing memory involving a plantain.

Gooseberry Kobold first appeared among the selection of four nameless kobold characters acting as candidates for the initial playable character. Introduced as Blueberry's neighbor, Gooseberry became a playable character on July 16th, 2020, when a player-submitted command successfully activated her perspective as she worked out in the Cornucopia's weight room.

#### Relationships

* **Blueberry** - Blueberry is Goose's neighbor to the immediate right, their quarters connected by a ventilation shaft. Prior to the events of the comic, their relationship seems to have been civil, if somewhat strained due to Blue's propensity to cause accidents.
* **Nutmeg** - Nutmeg Kobold is Goose's closest friend and frequent workout partner. Gooseberry can count on Nutmeg to organize - and participate in - various "therapeutic events" often involving multiple partners, though their friendship has never led to any physical intimacy with each other. Nutmeg acts as a patient listener and force of encouragement for Goose, as her frustrations tend to manifest themselves as aggression when left unresolved.

#### Known "Facts"

* One of Gooseberry's motivations for joining the Genetics Lab staff on the Cornucopia was to "self-modify" with gene therapy of her own development. In addition to increasing her physical size - both in stature and "proportions" - she has repaired her own astigmatism, and enhanced reaction time.
