Matthew (owner)

**Loyal Heart Dog** is one of Gaspard's stuffed animals and one of the major characters in the Black Lion franchise.

## Background

Loyal was given to Gaspard by Robert and Giselle Wooten along with Braveheart and the others. Matthew enjoyed playing with Loyal as a child. After Robert and Giselle's death, Matthew and Charles moved to a house close the woods for the 13 years until they moved into a mansion after Wolfgang's death.

Loyal was brought to life along with the other toys with the help of Matthew's invention, the Brain Antenna. With the brain antenna on Loyal and the other toys, they were closer to the gang. However, they had to keep the invention and the toys a secret because if the secret was exposed, people would exploit Loyal and the other toys. The secret got out when Butch saw Braveheart at school. He convinced Matthew to show him how the Brain Antenna works and he won't tell the school. The experiment lead to disaster and Butch told his gang about the Brain Antenna.

They stole the Brain Antenna blueprints and made some modifications to it. When they tried it out on some electronics, they became monsters seeking energy from humans. Luckily, the gang was able to defeat and destroy the electronic monsters. Butch and his gang were arrested for causing the monster attack and Matthew deactivated the Brain Antenna and placed Grumpy and the other toys in the attic to keep them from causing any more chaos.

### Personality

Loyal Heart Dog is based off the Care Bear Animals from the Care Bear franchise. He is truly a loyal friend and has a lot of faith in his caring heart. Loyal talks to his friends in a calm and sweet tone. He's also very shy and emotional. He has a tendency to cry especially when Grumpy yells at him or when Matthew isn't with him. He has a sensitive personality and will express his emotions very deeply. Out of all that, Loyal has the personality of a puppy, by being loyal and playful to their master.

Out of all the toys who love Matthew, Loyal loves Matthew the most and always wants to be by his side. He enjoys hugging and snuggling up against him in bed. Along with the other toys, Loyal was afraid to see Matthew grow up because if he does, he won't be with his friends anymore. Luckily, Loyal learned that no matter what age, Matthew is, he'll always be with him.

In most of the episodes or movies, Loyal is mostly quiet and usually nodes his head yes or shakes his head no. This shows a trait of how shy he is.

### Toy Tale

Right after Matthew and Charles leaves the mansion for the beach, Adam and the others spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing. Meanwhile, in the attic, Braveheart uses a cinderblock to break free of the attic. His attempt worked and after revealing himself to Adam and his brothers in the movie room, Loyal and the others appeared. He and the other toys learned that Matthew was at the beach, so the toys made an attempt to go over and reunite with Matthew. Adam quickly stopped them to tell them that Matthew's archenemy, Professor Jack Cat will kidnap them if he has the chance. Along with the other toys, Loyal was surprised that Matthew had an archenemy.

While Adam and the others were fixing the attic, Loyal and the others were looking at a picture of Matthew graduating middle school. Along with the other toys, Loyal was extremely sad and disappointed that Matthew was growing up and that he wouldn't be close to him anymore. Suddenly, Jackie and Stinky kidnapped Loyal and the other toys and silently left the house.

Once Matthew and Charles returned from the beach, they quickly dashed to Jack Cat's lair. Loyal was overjoyed to see Matthew but Jack Cat activated the mind-control machine and the toys became mindless zombies. The machine was too powerful and Matthew knew how to destroy the machine and save his friends. He started reminiscing all of the good times with the toys. The good memories were strong enough to cause the mind-control device to short circuit and explode.
