## Appearances

### Appears in

Tales of the Four Worlds; Broken Worlds(story); The Warrior's Quest

### Debut

Broken Worlds(story)

As of the *Broken Worlds* arc, Gray and Max are captives of Dr. Starline, having been captured as part of the doctor's plans, with the hope of using them as leverage against the warriors

## Appearance

Gray is a short, twelve-year-old domestic cat. He is a gray-and-white tabby, with mostly gray fur, darker gray stripes, ears, and a dark tail-tip, a white muzzle, chest, belly, hands, and feet, and blue eyes

He wears a gray hoodie with a blue hood sleeves, and blue jeans. He commonly has a slingshot at his waist, but he lost it when he was kidnapped

## Personality

Gray is spunky, friendly, kind, and surprisingly clever and mature for his age. He loves to hang out with his friends, is a huge fan of the warriors, and absolutely loves his slug Sparks

However, Gray does appear to be traumatized to some extent. As shown in a Google Doc story, Gray looks to Sparks as a sort of security blanket. Without Sparks, Gray becomes a nervous wreck, and begins panicking until his slug is returned to him

## History

**Before the Series:** At an unknown point in time, Gray's father moved their family to Mobius for reasons unknown, implied to be some sort of trouble in *Tales of the Four Worlds*. Soon after moving, Gray befriended two young citizens, Max and his friend Bailey

### *Broken Worlds*(arc)

As seen through a vision(and a Google Doc story), Gray and Max(specifically Max) were targeted by Starline with the hopes of gaining leverage against the warriors. The boys hid in the house of Max's old neighbor Mr. MacGellan, but the man was badly injured, and the boys were captured anyway

Later, Gray tried to escape with the aid of his slug Sparks, who he was able to smuggle in, but Max froze and was recaptured quickly. Gray tried to hide in a storage room, but was also found fairly quickly

Because of Sparks, Starline was able to work out where Gray was actually from(as he had tried to use his glove on the young cat before, but couldn't because it was Mobian-made, and Gray is from Slugterra), and resolved to keep the boys apart, to prevent anymore escape attempts. He also had Sparks taken from Gray with the aim of learning more

In the epilogue of *The Warrior's Quest*, when Starline begins transferring his things to his new base, the boys are included. Gray tried to make a run for it after his cell is opened, but is caught only seconds after he bolts. After Starline explained what was happening, Gray stubbornly insisted that he and Max go free once the doctor had what he wanted, and that he get Sparks back

Starline grudgingly agrees, but was Gray doesn't know is that the doctor has no intention of releasing them, intending to dispose of them once he's finished

## Trivia

Grayson's nickname is "Gray", a trait he shares with Graywing the Charizard, though Graywing appears perfectly happy being called by his full name

Gray is the second character in the series that prefers going by a nickname, the first being Maxwell Veschell. Ironically, both of their nicknames is just a shortened version of their first name
