**Sebastian Pup** is a major character in the animated feature film, The Enchanted Pup. He is the only son of the late King Blacktail and the late Queen Dalila. As the first-born grandchild of the Pup family, Sebastian was blessed with voodoo magic. Sebastian's autistic traits, generalized anxiety disorder and penchant for making cornhusk dolls made him feel like a stranger in his own family. When his parents tragically died, his evil uncle, Wolfgang banishes Sebastian after hearing the werewolf confess to his parents' murder. Following his disappearance, Sebastian was presumed dead by the kingdom expect for his family who refuse to believe that Sebastian died. Despite the severity of his anxiety, Sebastian remained in the kingdom because of a deep, strong love for his family.

## Background

Born into the Pup family, Sebastian is the only son of Blacktail and Dalila, the rulers of EverRealm. In addition to being the nephew of Bloodmoon, Burnskin, Luna, Robert, Giselle, Wolfgang, Blackmane, Eddie and Angel, Sebastian is also the cousin of Adam, Karen, Timmy, Ace, Runt, Abigail, Martin, Dwayne, Sierra, Charles, Hansel, Archibald, Artie, Stella and Brodi. As the oldest of his cousins, Sebastian is the first-born grandchild of the Pup family. Before the birth and blessings of his younger cousins, Sebastian was the ruler next in line to take the throne as king. Sebastian's future as king triggered his anxieties as a child. This would lead him to go to the council for support.

On his eighth birthday, Sebastian was blessed with voodoo by the gods of Mount Olympus. When given a room, he was given several a collection potions, wands and dolls, items that he took great care of. Sebastian was present at the births and ceremonies of his younger cousins. While living in the palace, Sebastian was the target of Wolfgang's jealous mistreatment because of him being the heir to the EverRealmian throne. On the night of Hansel's blessing ceremony, Sebastian was called into the council's office where they have a vision about Hansel being next in line to assume the throne as king. Sebastian was both relieved and happy by this announcement. One night before his parents' anniversary, Sebastian encouraged them to go to the beach to celebrate their marriage. He was hoping of surprising his parents with a beautiful voodoo ritual, a way of showing he mastered his abilities. Sadly, Blacktail and Dalila died while traveling.

Sebastian is giving the tragic news by one of the guards and was devastated. He spent most of the week in his room, silently mourning his parents' death and blaming himself for their deaths. He believed that if he didn't suggest that they go on that trip, they would sell be alive. Sebastian later got himself ready for his parents' funeral. While getting dressed, he overheard Wolfgang confess to Blacktail and Dalila's deaths. Shocked by this, Sebastian attempted to tell the family, the truth but is stopped by Wolfgang's henchman. Sebastian confronts his uncle and asks him why he would do such a thing. Wolfgang blames Sebastian for his parents' death, stating that if he had never convinced to go on a carriage ride then they would still be alive. He manipulated Sebastian into believing the family would disown him for this. Fearing that he may be shunned by his relatives, Sebastian leaves the kingdom.

Following Sebastian's departure from Chillrock, Wolfgang manipulated the citizens of EverRealm into believing Sebastian was overwhelmed by guilt and killed himself. With Sebastian out of the palace, Wolfgang became EverRealm's king. Sebastian traveled all over the kingdom trying to find shelter. He eventually found home in the Gold Volcano, where the Elemental Council (who banished themselves after Blacktail's deaths) resided. They befriended the orphaned Sebastian after he tells him what happened between him and his uncle Wolfgang. Having been convinced that the family wouldn't miss him, the council gives Sebastian a vision of the present and it shows his cousins setting up an altar in his former room to mourn his death. Touched by this, Sebastian used voodoo magic to collect his family portraits from his room and put it in his new room. In the present, Sebastian, the Greek Gods and the Elementals were the only beings who knew the truth about Wolfgang's rise to power.

### Development

Originally, Sebastian wasn't part of the Enchanted Pup storyline. His character was inspired by Bruno Madrigal from Disney's Encanto. In the film, Bruno was considered as the black sheep of the Madrigals due to his ability to see into the future. The visions he would give to the village would result in the villagers seeing Bruno as a sadistic and monstrous person. This did put strains on his relationship with his family, most notably his mother, Abuela Alma and his older sister, Pepa. The reactions that he would get from the villagers about his visions led Bruno to believe that he makes bad things. He eventually left the family after giving a vision to the future of the magic following Mirabel's failed gift ceremony. The vision showed Mirabel in front of a crumbling Casita which would give the family and the village, the idea that Mirabel is going to destroy the magic. Not wanting his niece to go through discrimination, he shatters the visions and leaves the family. Sebastian and Bruno share several similarities which includes being imbued with magic, has a deep strong relationship with his family and shares a close bond with younger family members.

### Personality

Due to Sebastian's power to perform voodoo, he is portrayed as elusive, mysterious and eccentric. Being the only son of the mighty King Blacktail, the firstborn Pup grandchild and the oldest of his cousins, Sebastian has a deep sense of responsiblity and dignity. He takes his duties as his cousins' caretaker very seriously and lives up to self-proclaimed title "The Responsible Leader." His obsessive compulsiveness and anxiety makes Sebastian good at his job. It makes him organized, skilled and efficient. His compulsions and rituals does not keep Sebastian from forming loving relationships with his cousins whom he loves all dearly. He shares tender love and affection for the elder members like his parents, uncles and aunts even though he has a deep respect of them for being part of the EverRealmian monarchy.

Although the family holds Sebastian in high regard, Sebastian has insecurities and doubts about himself. One of his greatest fears is disappointing and being shunned by his family for making a mistake. He wonders if his family truly loves him for who he is and not for the abilities he gained from the Gods. Sebastian's anxiety was severe when growing up in the palace. Being the heir to the throne as king caused terror for Sebastian as he felt that he wasn't royal material and would fail as a king to his subjects. Sebastian never shared that with anyone in his family except for Hansel, years later. Wolfgang's cruel mistreatment of Sebastian for being next-in-line only worsened his anxiety. Sebastian felt pressured to keep his shortcomings a secret from the family because he felt that if he disclosed his flaws to his relatives, they would see him as weak and lose faith in him. This led Sebastian to isolate himself in his room when he was done with his work.

Sebastian appeared to have high-functioning anxiety as he was capable of completing his work and interacting with the public of EverRealm. The special relationships he shared with Adam, Karen, Timmy, Ace, Runt, Abigail, Martin, Dwayne, Sierra, Charles and Hansel is what gave Sebastian peace. He did still feel that if he disclosed his insecurities to them, they would lose faith in him. Living in isolation served as a strength and a weakness for Sebastian. Isolating himself allowed to strengthen his powers. Isolation served as the source for his anxiety as it would cause his anxiety to worsen. Sebastian had poor social skills and struggled with bonding his cousins and his only friends were the servants in the castle.

Sebastian had no intent of harming himself in any way. Wolfgang believed that his nephew's anxiety could serve as an advantage to him. Despite the tragedy in his life, Sebastian still had a positive outlook on life. He stated that "someday things will be better" for him, indicating he believed that he can get better at regulating his anxiety. In the events after the first film, Sebastian's personality improves. He spents more time with his family and less time in his room. To his surprise, Sebastian discovered that his cousins suffered from insecurities and tried hiding them from each other fearing of being judged. Admitting his mistakes and faults to his family made his familial relationships stronger than it was before.

Sebastian has always shared a loving relationship with his family. His family's safety, well-being and happiness was the only thing that mattered to him. When banishing himself from the palace, Sebastian's reason for leaving was to help them. Sebastian supported all his cousins with their blessing ceremonies and mastering their abilities. Unlike his uncle, Wolfgang, Sebastian showed no envy or jealousy of Hansel for being next-in-line to rule EverRealm. He was genuninely happy and relieved that he wouldn't have to deal with the stress of ruling a kingdom. Living with elementals for a decade allowed Sebastian to develop better social skills. Even when his cousins are adults, Sebastian still takes care of them and is always happy to help anyone in need.

### Physical appearance

Sebastian inherited his white fur color from his mother and his father's green eyes. He is a thin, slightly muscular thirty-year-old wolf. He has a black nose, sharp teeth and claws. Because of his elusive nature, Sebastian wears a dark purple cloak and pants but he wears no shirt under the cloak. Following his return to the palace, Sebastian started wearing a blue shirt under his cloak, symbolizing his re-acceptance into the Pups. Also, the color blue is his favorite color and the color, his father would wear.

### Powers and abilities

Sebastian has the power of Voodoo; a magical practice from Haiti and Louisiana. Sebastian's magic is associated with the EverRealmian spirit world. Through voodoo rituals, he can gain insight from the residing spirits. Despite the dark nature of Sebastian's room, his power is of a light nature and his magic reflects it. With books, wands, and dust, Sebastian can practice all kinds of magic such as conjuration, spell-casting, alchemy and even nature-related magic.

Through the means of cartomancy, Sebastian can perceive events of the past. Unlike the council, Sebastian can't see into the future and he can't show his visions to other people, only he can see it.
