Navel

## Bio:

In 1964, Naval was resting in the sheds outside of London talking with Bowler, Spamcan, Bear, and a diesel shunter who told them about a group of steam engines that she had seen last night while passing Oxford station. When Bowler mentioned that the Diesel Justice Division is after the steam engines, Naval told them that she was going to go to Gloucester to see what was going on, as she pulled away she made a crack at Bowler to not let any bowler hats fall into his air in tank to which Bowler groaned at the remark. When she arrived at Gloucester, she met up with Roderick, Levi, Goyle, Western, and Whistler who were sitting in the sheds nearby. They were surprised to see her, though they filled her in on what was going on. Naval asked Roderick if he could look the other way and that the steam engines were just scared, but Roderick told her that they simply couldn't do that and that they have orders from BR to hunt any steam engines down that doesn't have clearance to run on British Railways, he also stated if she wasn't here to help to stand aside and not get in the way. Naval reluctantly did as she was told and said she would help out anywhere she can, Goyle made a crack at her saying that if she got in the way, Roderick would use his claw on her, but he was quickly silenced by Roderick. After the steam engines were apprehended that night, she was instructed by Roderick to take Meryl to Swindon Works. As dawn began to break and they made their way down the main line, Naval asked Meryl where she lived to which the GWR castle told her Didcot, instead of taking Meryl to Swindon, Naval took her back to Didcot much to the surprise of Meryl. She then told her that she wasn't going to take her to get scrapped and that she deserves to live for a little longer. Meryl was very grateful and hurried into the sheds while Naval headed off for home.

In 1969, Naval came across Eliza at a junction asking the green saddle tank what she was doing. Eliza explained to the maroon class 42 warship that she was trying to find her way to Sodor, with Naval mentioning that several of her friends have been there before and one of them was allowed to stay. Naval then reassured Eliza that she wouldn't tell anyone about her, she then offer to escort Eliza to the nearest harbor so she can catch a ship to Sodor, Eliza agreed to the offer and Naval told her to stay put until she return with her goods train. When Naval returned with her goods train, she told Eliza that there's a ship heading to Sodor at Wyre Harbor in Blackpool and that it would take a few hours to get there. Eliza then coupled up to the back of Naval's goods train and the two engines were off. After a few hours they arrived at Wyre Harbor where Naval bided farewell to Eliza as she left to collect her next goods train.

## Trivia:

* Naval is a character who originated from the Thomas fan story: "Liz's Journey Begins" written by Liz Productions5784, and thus created by her.
	+ Though she does have a name in MrAthehedgehog's head cannon, she is just called by her number D812 in Liz Productions5784's story as she only has a small role in "Liz's Journey Begins".
	+ The real BR Class 42 numbered D812 that Naval is based on was called The Royal Naval Reserve 1858-1959, thus how some fans have named her Naval. The real locomotive was withdrawn in 1972 and was cut up on July 4, 1973.
