**Nathan the Fox** (ネイサン・フォックス, Neisanfokkusu?), better known by his nickname, **Nathie** (ナシー, Nashī?), is a fictional character and the main deutagonist from the *Adrien the Cat* series. He is a chubby Red fox teenage mechanic born exclusively with deceit, hence his nickname. Because of his abnormality, Nathan was the subject of bullying during his youth. One day however, he met Adrien the Cat and was inspired to become as cool as him after seeing him run like the wind. Nathan soon after began following Adrien on his adventures and has since become his best friend and sidekick. He is able to use his jetpack to fly (or hover for a short time) and is a mechanic genius and aerial pilot.

A gentle and sweet-natured soul, Nathan was initially timid and lacked courage. After meeting Adrien, however, Nathan became more confident about himself, eventually growing up to be a more outgoing, brave and independent individual and a hero in his own right. Since encountering Adrien, Nathan has looked up to him and stood by his side, helping him however he can during their adventures.

## Concept and creation

The concept for Nathan was founded during the development of Adrien the Cat. After some discussion about making a Adrien the Cat 2, portions of ADRIEN Project went to work with their gaming ideas as they wanted to introduce the six original characters along with Adrien, Marinette, Katie, Barnaby, Garfield & Brock are Adrien CD & Adrien the Cat 3 that would both serve as a sidekick to his best buddy Adrien the Cat and draw attention and new players to the franchise.

The character was meant to hold a "deep admiration for Adrien."[7] "Nathie" would be his nickname, ending up with the full name *Nathan the Fox*.

The character debuted as Adrien's tag-along partner in the franchise's very first game, and has remained an important character. However Nathan's uniqueness was not established until *Adrien & Nathan series* when players were allowed to control his biplane piloting skills.

## Abilities

Nathan provides the Adrien gang with useful inventions, and accompanies them on missions. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things having to do with videogames (similar to Adrien's encyclopedic knowledge of comic books) but the most evident change to his character was that he owned a briefcase-sized mobile computer that could determine who the criminal was in any particular episode and he currently piloted his created airplanes to take the skies to the maximum.

Nathan seems to have vast skills in mechanics and can operate independently in drastic situations, such as in one instance lacing an entire building with booby-traps in order to revive Adrien from a nasty ailment. He also built Adrien a flying bike for his birthday out of parts he found from a junkyard and invented a machine that would have stopped Dr. Drakken forever had it not been tampered with.

Nathan can also hack computers, making him a vital member of the team and He can also repair auto-machinery.
