**Nathan** is a supporting character in the *Enchanted Pup* series. He's the oldest son of Blue and Angela, and the oldest brother of Andre and slightly younger brother of Candice.

## Background

### Development

Nathan is loosely based off, Nuka from *the Lion King II: Simba's Pride.* When Elkwood saw the movie and saw how Nuka had a rocky relationship with his siblings, it gave Elkwood an inspiration. He decided to make a character similar to Nuka, but instead of him being a villain, he'll be a hero. Also, Nathan will have a close and loving relationship with his siblings. Nathan will show no envy or hatred of his siblings, instead he'll do everything he can to support them. Just like, Andre, Elkwood decided to have Nathan form a close bond with his father.

### Personality

Nathan is portrayed to be a cowardly, cautious and worrisome individual who cares strongly for keeping his family and friends out of harm's way. Despite Candice being the oldest in the family, Nathan shows a little bit of pride by bragging about he's the strongest and smartest in the family. He expresses his pride by teasing Candice, which gets them to different arguments. Despite his sibling rivalry, Nathan cares for Candice and does everything he can to keep them safe. Nathan does prove to be brave and heroic when he's assisting his family with defending the kingdom from Blackeye and his dark magic. Despite being nervous in some situations, Nathan does maintain a calm and composed demeanor when explaining his fears to his relatives.

Nathan has a close relationship with his younger brother, Andre and does everything he can to make sure, he's safe and happy. Nathan unintentionally ignores Andre when he's arguing with Candice. Nathan does show a level of maturity by putting his pride aside to help his family and friends with the problem. Usually in situations, he encourages Candice to help the family, instead of teasing her. Nathan, along with his siblings show a great level of independence by handling a situation or rescuing a friend.

Aside from his cowardly and worrisome nature, Nathan does have a sense of adventure. He enjoys helping Hansel on his adventures and feels sympathy when they don't work. However, just like Tito, he can unintentionally make Hansel angry, but he tells Hansel, that he doesn't mean it. One trait, that Nathan shares with Andre is his mischief and curiosity. Like some of the kids in Elkwood media, Nathan and Andre's curiosity can lead them to unintentionally causing trouble in Tabari. Luckily, when they release their mistake, he and Nathan do everything, they can to fix their mistake. On some occasions, they can often get into fights while misusing a magical tool, they find.

One of the things that Nathan hopes to have when he grows up, is his father's large and lustrous mane. Nathan hopes to help more people when he grows up and he happily encourage his siblings to follow their dreams, no matter what anybody says. Nathan isn't afraid to stand up to those who corrupt Tabari or who tease his relatives. In the *Brave Lion,* Nathan showed a significant amount of selflessness by risking his own life to rescue Toby from Blackeye's wrath.

### Physical appearance

Nathan is a slender and lanky lion. He has a long mane that is coming in but it’s very scraggly along with his goatee. He has dark golden fur and brown eyes.
