Behaver (witch)

## Behaver

**Behaver** (Japanese: **ビヘイバー** *Behaver*) is a witch who appeared in the Johto saga of *Tales of Harmony*.

## Bio

### Appearance

Behaver looks identical to a Braviary. However, she is much larger, and seems to be about 20-30 feet tall.

### Personality

While purely well-intentioned since all she wants is to keep Dragonet safe and wants to get her back so she they can reconcile and be together again, Behaver is *extremely* blinded by her grief and frustration to the point where she throws a massive temper tantrum while crying and destroys buildings out of anguish, though she tries to only express her anguish where there are no people or Pokémon to avoid harming them (despite unintentionally causing several injuries). She also refuses to use her love-stealing abilities on anyone.

She is constantly reminded of all the happy times she had with Dragonet by the moving pictures on the wall of her barrier, something that drives her insane and only makes her anguish worse. The second she sees her friends and Dragonet in her barrier, she becomes so madly excited at seeing them that she starts chasing after them intending to talk to her and reconcile, but she doesn't understand that this only pushes Dragonet further away rather than making her want to come back. She finally calms down when Dragonet goes up and tells her the three words she badly wants to hear but also calls her out for not considering her feelings, and she goes up and hugs her, which causes her to be purified.

Her well-intentionedness and lack of any malice is also shown by her barrier, which resembles a cozy living room furnished with chairs, couches, pillows, and blankets, is not surreal-looking, and has no traps unlike other witches. It even has a dining room with a fully set table with all her friends' favorite foods on it (such as feta pasta for Nanette, vegetables for Bailey, muffins for Nova, tofu kurokke for Ash, ketchup for Thunders, and even alcoholic drinks - or cans of soda in the English dub - for Jim) as well as a bowl of cashew butter.

## History

## Skills

Behaver has all the abilities of a real Braviary, such as flight, being able to use a Braviary's moves, and extremely acute vision. She is also able to forcibly drain someone's love, which will cause them to become extremely weak or fall unconscious, though unlike other series (despite the fact that one such scene *was* reused in a Johto saga trailer), she doesn't use this ability. It is also implied she has the ability to create things that her friends like (but can't create just anything, since it has to be something her friends like, such as their favorite food), as shown with the dining table in her barrier that has each one's favorite food.

## Barrier

Behaver's barrier resembles a living room, with all the remarkably soft furniture and carpets colored sky blue, though there are also perches for her to perch on due to being a bird. On the walls are numerous picture frames (with the pictures moving and resembling memories) of her and Dragonet being happy together, representing her extreme desire to have her back and grief over her believing that she will never see her best friend again and that she hates her.

## Trivia

* Behaver doesn't use a bizarre artstyle like most other witches, but instead looks like a giant version of a Braviary. This is also due to her well-intentioned nature despite her being terribly misguided.
* She is the only witch to lack any malicious intentions whatsoever, but is rather extremely consumed by grief and frustration. However, the other Magis mistake her for having malicious intententions when she starts chasing them, even though she only wants to reconcile with Dragonet and them and is upset that they don't understand this rather than trying to kill them.
* In one scene during her rampage, she even breaks the fourth wall by smashing *the screen*, causing it to become static for a few seconds.
* Though Behaver doesn't appear again, and doesn't witch out again, she *does* appear in Dragonet's fantasy in "The Old Raise and Switch!" when she says she hopes a witch doesn't show up at the school on Monday.
* Despite Braviary being all male, Behaver is still female. It is, however, quite jarring to hear a massive Braviary, which is otherwise a male-only species, speaking in the voice of a young girl.
* In the English dub, when the table with her friends' favorite foods on it is shown, the alcohol and pack of cigarettes she put there for Jim are changed to be cans of soda and a box of lollipops.
