Click here to see quotes from Billy.
**Billy** (formerly known as **Toots** in *A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise*) is a clownfish who lives in the reef village. He serves as the village's resident comedian who's responsible for keeping the villagers happy and smiling all day by telling them his jokes.

## Appearance

Billy is a clownfish with orange scales with white and black stripes. His eyes are light brown and he noticeably has teeth.

## Personality

Billy is nice, friendly, sociable, and talkative. Because of his sense of humor, he cares about the opinion of others about his jokes and he would get heavily offended whenever someone criticized him for it. This is seen when Ricky unintentionally criticized him that his jokes are unfunny to him in "The Clown Fish Syndrome", which leads to Billy losing his inspiration and temporarily resigns his position as the villager's clown. However, Billy is very caring to his friends and he wants to do what it takes to keep their spirits up whenever they're feeling down.

## Relationships

### Ricky

When Billy is teaching Ricky and Ella about his role in the reef village in "The Clown Fish Syndrome", he explains to them that his role is to make the villagers laugh. According to him, every day he'll pick a fish to tell a joke to and they'll spread it around to keep them happy. However, Ricky unintentionally criticized him that his jokes aren't funny to him and he unwillingly bored them during observation day, which hurts his feelings and becomes depressed to pick up another joke to the villagers. This leads to him quit his role as the comedian and lets Ricky take his place. Later, Ricky apologizes to him for criticizing him and Billy returns to the village after he found out everyone misses him which leads to him learning to accept a person's opinion, whether or not they don't like his joke or not.

### Jimbo

Billy and Jimbo seem to be good friends since they're often seen hanging out together. And as mentioned by Jimbo in "Sweetheart Jimbo", Billy has also told him a couple of jokes to make him laugh.
