Percy (T&F)

**Percy** is a main character in *TOMY/TM Thomas and Friends*. He is one of the original engines to work on the North Western Railway, and is considered a mixed traffic engine, as he is perfectly capable of pulling both passengers and freight. Even if he isn't as big as the other mixed traffic engines, he makes up for his small size with hard work and enthusiasm. Throughout the series, Percy is seen pulling mainly freight trains, and hates dealing with the nonsense of the Troublesome Trucks. He enjoys spending time with his closest friends Thomas and Toby, spending his free time bumping the trucks around the yards.

## Personality

Percy is a rather cheeky, but kind engine, and generally behaves well, except when he is getting into mishaps from being over-eager. He loves teasing the others, especially the bigger engines, such as Gordon and James, but is always brought down to earth in due course by anyone who gives him the moral to learn, especially the Fat Controller.

Percy is incredibly accident-prone and has many accidents, sometimes due to his own silliness or his tricks backfiring. He holds the dubious record of the most accidents, with seven - crashing into some buffers, falling into the sea, being pushed onto a brake van, colliding with a lime cart, being hit by a falling crate of treacle, and colliding with a luggage cart. So far, his silliest accident yet was when he slipped on oily rails and crashed through the chocolate factory and emerged covered in chocolate. Despite this, he always tries to do his best, learn from his mistakes and get his jobs done, a loyalty which Sir Topham Hatt has praised him for on many occasions.

Although their friendship has been turbulent at times, Thomas is generally portrayed as Percy's best friend, and is also good friends with Toby as well. While he has had a small rivalry with Harold, stemming from their race, they are always willing to help each other when in trouble.

Percy can also be seen as an easy target for teasing by the big engines, especially whenever he has an accident or when he is afraid of something. He also has held a grudge from them about their tricking him into misinterpreting a signal, but silenced this with some help from Duck. This shows that, when nonsense goes too far, Percy will not stand for it and seek help to settle the matter for good, even if he faces a reprimanding from Sir Topham Hatt for it.
