**Robert Pup** is a major character in Elkwood's animated series *The Enchanted Pup*. He is the youngest son of Jade and Magnus and the father of Dwayne, Sierra, Charles and Hansel. When his family is threatened by his evil brother, Wolfgang, Robert went into hiding with his wife, Giselle and sent his children to live on Snowi with his childhood friend, Marley until they were out of danger.

## Background

Robert was born to Jade and Magnus, EverRealmian commoners living in the poverty-stricken district of the kingdom. Robert was the youngest of his two older brothers (Wolfgang and Eddie). Magnus worked hard to make ends meet while Jade stayed at home and nurtured her sons. Being imbued with ice magic, Robert spend most of his time learning how to express his fantastic ability. With Magnus working day and night, he barely had any time with his sons. He decided to take Eddie to Nepal for father and son bonding. Sadly, during their travel, Magnus grew ill and eventually died from his condition.

Robert learned about his father's death from an electronic message he sent to Jade, minutes before dying. To make matters worse, there was no way for Eddie to come back home to his family, leading him to be raised by the Nepali village leader. Robert mourned the death of his father and Eddie's departure. Jade then had to nurture her two sons and work to make ends meet which was complicated as there wasn't anyone to watch her children when she had to leave to go to work. Fortunately, Jade found a job as a baker and an after-school service for her boys to go to. In school, Robert was shown to academically skilled, intelligent and gifted, showing aptitude in chemistry, mathematics, and the arts. Although this won him the friendship and admiration of his classmates, fellow students and teachers, it didn't win his brother's friendship. Instead, Wolfgang became bitterly jealous of Robert and that jealousy soon formed a rivalry.

With his brother becoming a rival, Robert felt lonely and didn't have anyone to turn to. Throughout the years, Robert became best friends with his classmates consisting of Ryan, Briar, Ozzy, Vern, Fenrir, Harrison Stone, Penny, Kenneth, Max, Baxter and Lanny. This would be group that Robert would spend time with all the time. The group remained great friends after high school. Robert would invited to their weddings, the christenings of their children. He even formed a parenting group for Ozzy, Fenrir and Kenneth who became widowed and needed help raising their children.

During spring break, Jade called her sons to the living room to share some exciting news. She tells the boys that for the past few months, she had been dating Prince Odin, the orphaned ruler of EverRealm and that he had asked for her hand in marriage. Robert was ecstatically happy by this news, knowing that his mother had finally found someone new after Magnus. By marrying Odin, Jade, Robert and Wolfgang became royalty and they moved into the palace. Before the wedding, Robert was introduced to Bloodmoon, Burnskin and Blacktail, Odin's sons. The canines managed to bond before the wedding and after the wedding, the wolves had already become best friends.

Two months later, Robert and Wolfgang graduated from high school with full honors. Instead of going to college like he initially planned, Robert stayed in the palace with his step family, getting to know them and helping them with ruling EverRealm. During one of Odin's royal conferences, Robert befriended Marley, a polar bear who can do ice magic. Whenever Robert wasn't doing volunteer work, he was working as a curator at EverRealm's national history museum

One day, Robert's friendly services in the kingdom caught the attention of Giselle, a goddess from Mount Olympus. Not having the confidence to talk to him, Giselle sent him love letters hoping he would reciprocate. As luck would have it, Robert did and sent Giselle a response. Robert's romantic letters gave Giselle, the bravery to come to EverRealm and ask Robert on a date which he accepted. Even though, it was their first date, the two dogs fell inseparable. The two continued to see each other and after the date. Blacktail had to be crowned king early due to the tragic deaths of Odin and Jade. A memorial service was held for the former rulers. Even though, the memorial service was short, Robert stayed along with his stepbrothers (except Wolfgang).

Three years later, Robert proposed to Giselle and she happily accepted. The two were married in the royal chapel and following the wedding, Giselle became a royal consort. Years later, Robert became a father of four children consisting of Dwayne, Charles, Sierra and Hansel. In addition to becoming an in-law of Dalila, Luna, Angel, and Blackmane, Robert became the uncle of Sebastian, Adam, Karen, Timmy, Ace, Runt, Abigail, Martin, Archibald, Artie, Stella and Brodi. Robert supported his oldest sons and only daughter through their individual blessings. By the arrival of his youngest child, Hansel, Robert spend time with him, telling him stories about how the Pups became a family and what the true meaning of having magic is. On Hansel's eighth birthday, he was gifted with ice magic, much to Robert's joy.

One day, Robert gets a summonses from the council to report to their office. In there, they inform Robert that they had a vision of Hansel being next in line to rule EverRealm because of his powerful magic. Since Hansel was still a child, Robert decided to wait to tell the kingdom the news. Unknown to Robert and the council, Wolfgang overheard the meeting and was enraged that his nephew would rule as king despite being the youngest of Robert's family.

Blacktail and Dalila's anniversary came and the kingdom celebrated by throwing a party while the two lovers went on a carriage ride outside of the capital. Sadly, they didn't come back because they were tragically killed in a carriage accident. Needing to someone to take over as the sovereign, the council crowned Wolfgang, the king of EverRealm. Shortly after his coronation, Wolfgang enacted a law that forbade the use of magic (except for himself) with the penalty being death. Robert was shocked at his brother's ban on magic but more shocked at how Wolfgang didn't take the time to mourn the death of his stepbrother and his wife. Wolfgang claimed that established this law to protect his subjects. Worried for his children's safety, Robert secretly set up a private transport for him and his family. Just in case, something should happen to him and Giselle, he arranged an emergency contact for Marley. With the transport set up, Robert took his family on a tour to the National History Museum. Suddenly, a fire was mysteriously ignited. Just as Robert feared, Wolfgang had set up a trap to kill him and his family.

Robert and his family were unable to escape the building. The building exploded leaving Robert and his family presumably dead. The kingdom held a memorial service for Robert and his family. Unknown to the kingdom, Robert and his family were alive as he managed to escape with help from Marley. Afraid that Wolfgang will find his children through the remnants of their magic, Robert sent his children to live a peaceful life with Marley in his kingdom. Not wanting her children to go back to EverRealm, Giselle used her magic to alter her children's memories, making them believe that they lived in the EverRealmian palace as servants and not as monarchs. Despite the grief and struggles in having to separate themselves from their children, Robert and Giselle managed to build a good life in Massachusetts as a wealthy businessman. After long days at work, Robert and Giselle prayed to the gods, hoping that someday they would be out of danger and be reunited with their children once again.

### Development

In the earlier drafts of *The Enchanted Pup* series, Robert was killed off along with Giselle in the beginning of the story. His death set up the events of the film and animated series. In life, Robert was a businessman who made money off building his inventions and having them mass-produced to companies all over the globe. Robert's wealthy status and ability to create technology for the military, law enforcement and the government made Robert, a target for the evil Wolfgang who was worker at Wooten Industries. Unlike in the final draft, Robert and Wolfgang didn't have a familial connection. In the first draft, he and Wolfgang were best friends from college. Wolfgang's jealousy of Robert's success played a part in their rivalry.

In the second draft, Robert's role remained the same only he is survived by his older brother, Wolfsbert, whom he was close to. Wolfgang wanted to destroy the brothers by ruining their relationship and did so by sparking a rivalry between the brothers which resulted in Wolfsbert being banished from the family for attacking Robert. Years after Wolfgang's death is where the truth about Robert and Wolfsbert's relationship was revealed. In spiritual form, Robert reconciles with Wolfsbert before ascending to the afterlife.

Robert's posthumous role would later be turned over to Blacktail and Dalila. Matthew felt that Hansel deserved his father in the series. He even made Robert into a dog along with his wife and extended family.

### Personality

Since Robert was a child, he was gifted with several skills other than his ice magic. He is confident when passionately working on his interests, a trait that he passes down to his youngest son and, a trait that he passes to his extended family members and other aspiring dreamers. Although being confident and successful in his life, Robert is not boastful or prideful. He instead supports people like his family and closest friends with their dreams. Robert's confidence is powerful as he is willing to never stop until his mentee has succeeded. This stems from the love and encouragement his parents provided him with.

Despite going through several changes in his life, Robert was able to adjust to his new environment with ease. By transitioning from a high school graduate to a prince, Robert looked at the benefits of being in power such as being able to help EverRealmians who were in need of help. He found the best way to help people in need was by doing volunteer work such as community cleanups and babysitting children with single parents. Robert had little to no issues living life as a monarch as the job involved helping and protecting his community, a duty that Robert absolutely loved doing. Before becoming a father, a husband and an uncle, Robert dreamt of traveling across EverRealm and the universe, helping more people in need.

Having been successful at a young age, Robert's family, friends, peers and fans perceived him as the Perfect Guy. In reality, Robert is flawed just like everybody. There are times where he has made mistakes and humbly accepts them. Robert is not ashamed or embarrassed when admitting his mistakes. As a teenager, Robert's greatest fear was letting down the people who loved and looked up to him. He used to believe that the only reason why everyone loved him was because of his reputation but that belief disappeared after spending intimate time with Giselle. She made Robert realize that people loved him for who he is and not just for his achievements. Robert's confidence throughout the years were fractured but his love for Giselle is what fully healed his psychological wounds. Giselle's loving and supportive soul is what made Robert fall in love with Giselle. The two are always patient when it comes to dealing with their individual anxieties.

According to Bloodmoon, Robert loves children and dreamed of starting a family. Just like Giselle and the oldest Pup family members, Robert is affectionate with the younger members. Since the birth of his children, Robert has encouraged them to follow their dreams and to not give up until they make their dream come true. He is playful, funny and loving. He shared a special bond with his youngest son. Robert is equally affectionate with his nephews, nieces and grandchildren. When reunited with his long-lost brother, Robert seized the opportunity to get to know his nephews and niece. Having grown up with self-expectations, Robert doesn't place any expectations on his children. For his middle son, Charles, Robert always provides him with affection and validation for his achievements. When the council gave Robert, a vision about Hansel's future as king, he ordered the elements to not to tell the family or even Hansel about the vision, as Robert doesn't want his son to spend the rest of his childhood worrying about his future ruling EverRealm. Despite Robert's love for the castle's traditions, he isn't afraid to break tradition for the benefit of his family. One of the former royal traditions was arranged marriages and Robert is immediately against anyone's idea of having his children betrothed.

For years, Robert has shared a loving bond with his family and wanting nothing more than for them to be happy. Despite Wolfgang's bad treatment towards his wife, brother and eldest nephew, Robert couldn't bring himself to banish him from the palace seeing him as the only blood he has left in the family (with Eddie being away in Woolsville). Although Robert refused to banish Wolfgang, the safety of his wife and kids came first when Wolfgang made an attempt on their lives. The love Robert has for his family is so powerful that he was willing to give his life so that his children could live. Following his return to EverRealm, Robert decided to follow Blacktail's legacy and look after the family. When Wolfgang died, Robert started to reminisce the years he spent with him and continues to wonder why he would betray the family. In the sequel, Robert missed his brother, Eddie very much and lamented his absence. When he comes home from after decades of separation, Robert was in tears and gave him a big hug. Robert is shown to welcoming and sociable to members who married into the family, for instance, he is shown to be fun-loving with his son-in-law, Kirby.

His casual attire is a grey sweater and black pants. Robert wears stylish but casual clothing for when he's lounging around the palace or working at his tuxedo business.

### Powers and abilities

* **Ice Magic:** Being an offspring to the Snow Dog species, Robert has the ability to control ice and snow, a power that he shares with his childhood friend, Marley and a power that he passes down to his youngest son. Before Hansel's birth, Robert was the most powerful Snow Dog in the universe. When he fell in love and eventually married Giselle, her divine magic combined with Robert's snow powers not only created four puppies with unique powers but a puppy whose powers was so powerful that it could match up to the elementals, powerful animals that EverRealmians christen as almighty gods.

## Appearances

### The Enchanted Pup

In the beginning, Robert sits with an eight-year-old, Hansel as he prepares for his blessing ceremony. He tells his son a story of how EverRealm became a magical civilization and how the royal ancestor, Dhark created a legacy for his descendants. Time comes for Hansel's ceremony and the two walk to the palace's throne room. While walking, Hansel becomes nervous and expresses his concern of being graced with an ability amazing as his father. Robert kindly assures his son but telling him that he'll be given a power that is just as great as everyone else on EverRealm. Sometime later, Robert and his family had to be separated after learning someone wanted to kill them. The kids went to live on Snowi with his best friend, Prince Marley while he and Giselle set up residence on Earth in the U.S.

The events that led to Robert's departure was unknown for years. Whenever Hansel asked Marley about it, all he could say in response is that a rival from college wants revenge against Robert. On the twentieth year of Robert and Giselle's stay on Earth, a spirit from EverRealm's council lures the Pups back home to reveal answers about the past. The Pups' adventure through the kingdom soon puts them in danger when King Wolfgang wants to have Hansel killed for unknown reason. After avoiding Wolfgang and his army for days, he manages to catch up to the Pups and has Hansel executed by throwing him off a cliff. Hansel's presumed death shakes Robert back on Earth. This shock causes Robert to faint out of his bed. Giselle comes to Robert's side as he begins to have a panic attack.

Unknown to the Pups and EverRealm's populace, Hansel survived and made it over to the Gold Volcano, the council's secret residence. From the elements, Hansel learns the truth about his family's move from EverRealm to planets Earth and Snowi. EverRealm's king, Wolfgang is Robert's brother and Hansel's uncle. Because of Robert's mother's marriage to the widowed king, Odin, Robert and Wolfgang became royalty and the stepbrothers of Odin's late son, Blacktail. Jealous of Blacktail for being king, Wolfgang devises a plan to steal the throne and this leads to murder Blacktail and his wife, Dalila in cold blood. He covers his tracks by making their murder look like a carriage accident and by having the monarchs' only son banished. Then by the being the next oldest sibling, Wolfgang would automatically inherit the throne with no suspicion by the family and the citizens. Wolfgang even started the fire at the museum in an attempt to kill Robert and his family and ensure Hansel doesn't foil his plans.

Wanting to return things to once it was, Hansel rallies the council and his family to help battle Wolfgang. As a team, Hansel and his family defeats Wolfgang and saves the universe from a reign of terror. With Wolfgang gone, Hansel and his family are out of danger. Through the power of Hansel's newly-gifted staff, he locates Robert and Giselle in Massachusetts. Hansel and the gang take a spaceship down to Massachusetts.

Inside his mansion, Robert is seen quietly working on his business reports when he is approached by Giselle, who is still worried about her husband after his panic attack, the previous night. She asks him what happened last night. Not completely knowing what caused his attack, Robert said that he can't spend another twenty years away from his kids, he's afraid that something bad will happen to his kids. Giselle comforts Robert by hugging and reassuring him. Suddenly, Robert and Giselle hear a rumbling sound and sees a ship land in their front yard. Recognizing it as Marley's ship, Robert and Giselle rush down the stairs and enter the balcony where they are greeted by their four children. Robert is in shock at the sight of his children after being separated for two decades. Robert approaches Hansel and sees how much the dog resembles him. He calls "Hansel" in a whispery tone and Hansel says "Dad" in response. Robert tearfully embraces his son with his older children and wife joining the hug. Hansel tells Robert and Giselle, the truth about Blacktail's death. Although sad about Wolfgang being Blacktail's murderer, Robert is glad that his family is safe and that he can go home.

Upon returning to EverRealm, Robert reunites with Bloodmoon and Burnskin who give their long-lost stepbrother, a big bear hug. Robert later watches in joy as Hansel helps the EverRealmians rebuild their destroyed homes. Once damages to the city and palace have been repaired, Robert stands next to Charles and watches as Hansel becomes the new king of EverRealm. Through the entire coronation and wedding, Robert is in tears. In the end, Robert and Giselle move back into the palace and becomes close to his children and the rest of his family again.

In the film's credits, it is shown that Robert has reunited with his friends from high school and they have begun to have a monthly "Guy's Night." Robert has rebuilt his museum that was destroyed by the fire. With his designing skills and Giselle's experience as a florist, they sell their tuxedos and flowers in the museum's gift shop. Despite having lost so many years with his children, Hansel, Charles, Dwayne and Sierra have become close to their father and sees him as the man who saved them.

He expresses his lamentation of his brother's departure by wishing that he's continuing to do well and that someday they be reunited.

The next morning, Hansel leaves Amber in charge of the kingdom while he goes to a Nepali village to find someone who help protect EverRealm from future attacks. Robert stays behind to help his daughter-in-law with ruling. Days later, Hansel returns home to EverRealm with the Mastiff family. Robert is absent during the Mastiffs' arrival. After the Mastiffs' departure, Robert comes to comfort Hansel after he is distraught over not finding the figure from his vision. While comforting his son, Robert brings up a memory with him and his older brother going to a farmer's market together. In that moment, Robert identifies his brother as Eddie. Hansel then asks his father if he has a picture of his brother. By looking at an old family portrait, Hansel realizes that Eddie is Robert's brother which makes the Mastiffs, his relatives. With this revelation, Hansel returns to Woolsville to rescue the Mastiffs from Wolfsbane. Robert is left perplexed by his son's excitement. When his son and relatives return to EverRealm, Robert spots a familiar figure with his son. As the figure came closer, Robert realized that it was his brother, Eddie. With tears of joy, Robert embraces Eddie, happy to see him finally home after three decades of separation. The two brothers reconnect with each other during the kingdom celebration. They are later seen together at the family photo.

In a post-credits scene while Hansel and Brodi leave Ralph's room after reading him a bedtime story, the Pups spot their fathers sitting on the castle's balcony gazing at the stars.
