Cale Metfin

**Cale Metfin** is a recurring character in *Contact* and *Revolution.*

In terms of the series narrative, Cale is a duck from Cartonia who arrived to Toontown in "They Came From the North." She is later revealed to be a member of the Free.

## Appearances

### *Contact*

Cale made her first appearance in "They Came From the North" when she and five other Cartonians (Blair Fawkes, Evelyn Quin, Jerockle Padraic, Rook James, Tick Hunter) arrived at the shores of Toontown by ship. Her sister is Evelyn Quin. Seemingly seeking asylum after a long journey from the Kingdoms, Cale and the others were shocked to find themselves arrested and hostilely received by the Toons. Cale was extremely timid and nervous during her interrogation with the Toon Council and Toon Patrol. She was revealed to be a BioFreak with the power to control water in "Outlanders." Due to Rook James and Marshall Ihob being too friendly with each other, Cale was moved to Melodyland.

   Cale was released in "Welcome to Toontown" to a house arrest program, sponsored by Piggy Pie and her family. She partook in an interview with Declan Antlin and her fellow Cartonians, in which she spoke of her life in Cartonia. Cale lived with her sister in the former Mallardia on the Gulf of Cartoon, until her sister was forced to flee due to fear of being accused of treason alongside her husband. Cale joined her and together they reached Cervidium and found Blair, Tick, Jerockle, and Rook about to head south. Cale's sponsorship on Piggy Pie's estate was met with mixed reactions in "Truth Will Out." Though Hog Pie and Piggy were perfectly cordial, the other four brothers acted as if Cale did not exist. During her first week in the program, Cale made frequent visits to see her sister in the Brrrgh.

After the Lawbot attack in "Revenge of the Lawbots," Cale and the other non-fox Cartonians were taken to see Dr. Artery who concluded that they likely did not have laff and that they were impervious to Cog attacks. Cale resolved to help the Toons defeat the Cogs. She was scared when Blair was taken by the Cogs at the end of the episode, and wanted to know where she had gone in "This Too Shall Pass." Evelyn and Cale were both recruited by the Toon Resistance to intensify the rain of the Deluge.

During the Deluge in "Split the Heavens," Cale and Evelyn intensified the force of the rain. The Deluge successfully removed the Cogs from Toontown.

Following the Deluge in "Song of the Siren," Cale and the Cartonians found themselves in a more cheerful town. As a token of gratitude for their help defeating the Cogs in the Deluge, the Cartonians were invited to a private dinner in the Gardens. Rook posed the idea of a dinner cruise, and the Cartonians volunteered to staff the events.

On the ship's maiden voyage in "Wistful Oceans," Cale and her fellow Cartonians served the event. After Tick and Blair left on the ship's only lifeboat to ferry Piggy Pie to shore, the Vulpus Ballad of War began to play on the loudspeakers, shocking Cale, Evelyn, and Jerockle. Cale and Evelyn quickly tried to arrange an evacuation as Jerockle descended into hysterics. The ship exploded shortly thereafter, killing nearly all onboard. Cale survived, though her sister did not. As one of only three survivors, Cale was manacled in the gag shop in "Out of the Frying Pan" on suspicion of her involvement. After the foxes invaded in "Into the Fire," Cale managed to escape using her water powers and climbed board *The Imperial Conqueror*. She warned Piggy Pie and Doctor that the Vixen Queen intended to have them murdered in front of a national audience to remove the last shreds of hope for the rebellion. She assured them the Free would save them, and asked them to trust her.

### *Revolution*

In "Aurora," Cale met with Eileen Irenic and Piggy Pie to explain her side of the story. She told them how she and Evelyn were violently converted into BioFreaks as punishment for being members of the Free. They were the first successful water BioFreaks, enabling them to part the hurricanes of Hurricane Haven and reach Toontown. Cale and Evelyn had plotted to go along with Vella Vixen's plan but only to get the heirs back to Cartonia so the Free could use them to build morale for an upcoming revolution. Cale and Evelyn were unaware of the *Chipper* plot and were just as surprised. Cale asked Eileen and Piggy to trust her so she could get the Free to rescue them, but both were skeptical. Cale disappeared after the Toons arrived in Cartonia, allowing them to be gassed to death in Yefoxerinburg on live television.

Despite the apparent cliffhanger of death in "Aurora," twelve of the fourteen Toons survived the House of Intended Design due to the Free's rescue. Cale and Usa Uhuru, a leader of the Free, spirited the Toons out of Vulpus. The plan was to disperse the heirs to their respective kingdoms to garner more support for the coming revolution. Cale stayed in former Mallardia with the Becker family.

When the Beckers were discovered dead in "Assailants Unknown," slain by Scuridian pirates, Cale was nowhere to be found.

Cale returned in "Terminal" when she crashed the conference of the Big Four of the Free at Talonclaw Castle. She arrived with Scuridian pirates including their leader, Chequer Alvo IV. Cale explained how rogue pirates had pillaged the vineyard and killed the Beckers. She demanded to be taken to the Chequer, and used her water powers to escape. She and the Scuridians pledged to help the revolution from the water.

In "Toontown Asunder," Cale threatened to flood the entire port city of Viallastadt with her water powers until the foxes there surrendered. This was a turning point in the revolution, as the former Simian capital capitulated. Cale voyaged with the Toons back to Toontown, but promised to return to Cartonia to aid the Chequer in reestablishing Scuridiae.

"Afterword" revealed that Cale partnered with Pyotr Osvoboda to seek reparations for BioFreaks in the post-Revolution Cartonia. Their efforts resulted in the permanent outlaw of BioFreak experimentations.
