Fidget the Bat

**Fidget** is a peg-legged bat and the secondary antagonist in Disney's feature film *The Great Mouse Detective.*He is Professor Ratigan's right-hand man for most of the film.

## Background

### Personality

Fidget is a cowardly, greedy minion in the employ of Professor Ratigan. He is somewhat forgetful, as he left his hat and Ratigan's list (which allows Basil to track him down and find Ratigan's hideout, respectively) when he ran away the first and second time, respectively. Despite this he is also cunning; he tends to use stealth to carry out the tasks given to him by Ratigan. For example, in the toy store, he set off several toys on Basil and Dawson and hid under a baby doll's crib to arouse Olivia's curiosity, taking advantage of her youth. And in spite of his physical hardships, he quickly mauled Hiram when he broke into his house, who put up a very meager fight by comparison. He isn't a very good speaker, as he has difficulty with speaking properly about what happened to Ratigan's list.

## Trivia

* In Italy Fidget was called *Vampirello*, literally "Little Vampire".
* Fidget has several disabilities, notably his peg leg and a crippled wing which prevents him from flying. However, in the comic book, he seems to have overcome the latter injury, however, how this was accomplished was unknown.
* According to Basil, Fidget likes to drink a drink called *Rodent's Delight*.
* Fidget likes to hang upside-down (much like real-life bats do).
* Oddly, Fidget wears his hat at the end of the film despite that he lost it when he was at Basil's house. This could mean he has more than one hat.
* It is not clear if Fidget was a carny before or after the movie.
* Fidget has a raspy voice.
* Disney thought of making Fidget a scary, yet lovable character to viewers.
* In the German dub, Fidget is known as "Greifer", although it is occasionally misspelled as "Griefer."
* Fidget was Candy Candido's final notable role before his death in 1999. Since Candido normally has a deep, croaky voice (as with his roles as the Indian Chief, the Goons, and Captain Crocodile), his voice actually had to be digitally sped up in order for Fidget to sound high-pitched.
* His design is similar to the Gremlins from the 1984 Steven Spielberg film *Gremlins*.
* Fidget became Ratigan's sidekick in *Thomas and Twilight Sparkle Meets The Great Mouse Detective.*
* Fidget and Ratigan returned in *Thomas and Twilight Sparkle Meets Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs* to get revenge on Thomas, Twilight and their friends for foiling their plans of crime.

* Fidget is great partners with T.R. Chula.
* Fidget also hates Fievel Mousekewitz and enjoys beating him sometimes at every encounter.

Chuggington Docks

**The Docks** is where ships arrive to drop off and collect cargo from Chuggington and beyond. Skipper Stu runs the Docks, with Harry and Hamish handling deliveries and transport, and Russ handling sorting. As of Season 6, Tai works here as a shunter. On the premises is:

* Stu's control tower, built on the remains of a sea fort,
* a massive dock crane which Stu operates to unload and reload ships,
* a storage depot for containers,
* an old steam crane,
* a warehouse,
* a repair shed,
* a carousal for Daley's pickups,
* a lighthouse island,
* and a roundhouse for the four Dockers.

Captain Charlie frequently comes in with his ship to collect and deliver cargo.

The docks also has a lengthy quay for use of one one of the first activities of the day for the team: Docking the ships that arrive. Two chuggers are attached to tow ropes, pulling them into place for the crane to unload. It's a job that, depending on the day or job, has gotten everyone on the Docks crew involved.

## Biography

The docks were frequently mentioned in the first four seasons, but finally appeared in Season 5. Many incidents have happened here, including a closure preventing freight from coming in, the Massive Crane breaking down, forcing Stu to improvise and fire up the old steam crane to get a consignment of rails delivered, a freeze preventing important fuel supplies from getting up the gorge to the town, and a fire at the Lighthouse that destroyed the lamp room and called for urgent repair by the Chuggineers.

As of Season 6, the docks are now a prominent location, with many more adventures set here and the addition of Tai to the team as a trainee. The trainees nearly delay a delivery of apples for a ship due to a misunderstanding with Hamish, Koko staying up too late nearly delays her bringing Mayor Pullman to the christening of a new cargo ship called "The S.S. Slumber", with her also causing a mess when bringing in a ship too fast due to a power booster, a huge cargo delivery, including a load of boat anchors, caused problems for the team, and the lighthouse suffered mechanical faults due to an over-powered Drop and Load Crane motor, nearly causing a ship to run aground.

## Trivia

* Salty and Porter occasionally helps out at the docks since they're dockside engines from Equesodor and good friends with Skipper Stu and his crew.

Hoot and Toot

Hoot is slightly dimwitted and gullible, which can lead to him being used by others, but is forgiving and always helpful. Toot, on the other hand, while she is also kind and helpful at times, is often manipulative, greedy, and usually thinks about herself and not about the impact that her actions may have on others; for example, to get out of doing track inspection, Toot lied about an illness, and by the time that she admitted to fibbing, everyone was deeply worried and Koko had made a run to Tootington to fetch a new engine part for her.

Despite the fact that what Toot had done was terrible, Hoot forgave Toot, as he still cared about her even if she had done something terrible. While Hoot and Toot do argue a lot, they do secretly like each other, and while they are often separate, they would rather be together.

Carla Delgado

**Carla Delgado**is Victor Delgado's daughter and the tertiary antagonist in the second season of *Elena of Avalor*.

## Background

### Personality

Like her father, she is extremely ruthless as shown when she does anything to help her father get what he wants and doesn't care who she hurts to ensure this. Being a teenager, she also frequently shows the awkwardness that can accompany being at that age, plus other signs of immaturity such as a bad temper, and is also very spoiled. Despite her flaws and maliciousness, Carla does care about her family, as she is loyal to her father, joins her mother in a loving embrace when they are reunited, and expresses delight over her parents being together again (though she is unaware that her parents are actually at odds with each other and are hiding their mutual discontent from Carla).

After Victor is turned into stone by Ash, Carla cries over his petrified body and refuses to go with her mother, effectively disowning her. As she is being arrested again, Carla sadly tells Elena that she thought her mother cared about her and her father, but she was wrong; this not only proves Carla's capacity for maturity, but helps her and Elena relate to each other (Elena having been wrong about Esteban) despite them being enemies. She even begs Elena to restore her father, promising she'll do anything Elena asks.

Carla is afraid of thunderstorms, as she fearfully clutches Victor in her arms when Hetz conjures one. Additionally after joining Team Avalor, she finally respects Mateo enough to get his name right.

## Lyrics

### Regular version

Red: Now I know you've been malicious

Spiteful and a trifle vicious

It's no secret that you cheated and you've lied

And you've done some double dealing

Scheming, swindling, and stealing

You're an amateur, but heaven knows, you've tried

Carface (spoken): I answered your ad didn't I?

Money, power, stature, oh 100 brimstone

Red (spoken): Good boy. And very soon you're efforts will be rewarded

(resumes singing)

You'll develop so much faster

Now you're working with a master

Who will help you cultivate your darker side

You'll discover wicked ways you've never known before

And you'll find that when you're really ROTTEN TO THE CORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It feels so good to be bad

So delicious to be a despicable cad

It's just so thrilling and so fulfilling

To give somebody the worst time they've ever had

It feels so good to be bad

(spoken): Case in point

(sung):Charlie doesn't know it, but he's in my power!

He's gonna wish that he was never born!

I promise you that by the sunset hour

I'll have Gabriel's Horn!

Carface (spoken): Boss why can't I get it for you?

Red (sung): Cause you had your chance and you blew it

I entrusted you to do it

But you bungled it and threw your chance away

It's a problem you created

If the horn can't be located

I'm not naming names, but SOMEONE HAS TO PAY!

Carafce (spoken): Arrrggghhhhh! Try again boss

Red (spoken):You'll never find it. Only angels can give it's heavenly tone

Carface (spoken):But I'm an angel

Red (spoken):Not any more. You work for me now.

(resumes singing):

Though you gave me cause to doubt you

There's a loathsomeness about you

That attracts me to you as a protégé

And when you've learned every creepy crummy thing I know

You'll taste the joy that comes when you're the LOWEST OF THE LOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It feels so good to be bad

So delightful to be a deplorable cad

It's so appealing to have the feeling

That what you're doing gets trouble brewing

And drives everybody MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You've got my guarantee

It feels so good to be bad

So exciting

Carface: So Inviting

Red: So good to be bad!

#### **Reprise**

Red: Make sure he doesn't disappoint me

Carface: You got it boss

Red: It's so, so stirring

I feel like purring

Carface: It's deeply pleasing to be the richest

Both: So many will be so SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD

Red: Three cheers for treachery

It feels so good to be bad

**Class 40**, also known as **The Diesel**, **D4711** (in the Railway Series), **D261** (in the television series), or simply **Diesel** is a green diesel who once came to the North Western Railway on loan from the Other Railway.

## Biography

Class 40 was built at the Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Meadows, Lancashire, England. Class 40 was sent to Sodor in 1962 to assist the engines with goods and express work toward the end of Stepney's visit, but he only insulted the other engines by saying they should be scrapped and replaced by diesels. He got his comeuppance when an inspector's bowler hat jammed in his air intake, causing him to break down and to become as sick as boiler sludge. He sulked in the shed while Duck and Stepney took the Express for him.

While everyone was fare-welling Stepney, a disgraced Class 40 crept away, leaving behind "a rather nasty smell of bad manners and a battered bowler hat".

## Personality

Class 40 is arrogant and abusive, he's also very stubborn, believing that diesel engines are superior and should take over from steam engines. Despite this, in the magazine stories, there are some occasions in which the Diesel is polite and helps out the steam engines.

## Trivia

* Class 40 is also best friends with Gilda and D199 (until Glida reforms in *Thomas' Adventures of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic - The Lost Treasure of Griffinstone)*.
* Class 40 guest star in *Thomas and Twilight Sparkle meets Paddington* and *Thomas and Twilight Sparkle meets Pocahontas* since it took place on the Other Railway where he lives.
* Class 40 is also partners with Vinnie since *Thomas and Twilight Sparkle meets Paddington* despite he's a diesel and Vinnie's a steam engine as a reference to *Thomas Creator Collective.*
Elena Flores

**Elena Castillo Flores** is the titular protagonist of *Elena of Avalor*. She is the oldest daughter of King Raul and Queen Lucia and the former princess and current queen of Avalor, who, before she could become the one, learned to rule as the crown princess until she came of age to be named queen.

## Background

Elena was born to the late King Raul and Queen Lucia of Avalor. She resides within the kingdom's castle alongside her family, consisting of her sister Isabel, maternal grandparents Francisco and Luisa, as well as her scheming maternal cousin, Esteban. She is additionally accompanied by a trio of comedic, flying jaquins that double as her friends and mode of transportation, as well as the wise spirit fox Zuzo, whom only she can see on her own free will, as a result of her magical abilities.

### Personality

Elena has the heart and mind of a true leader. She is devoted to the welfare of her subjects, her family, and her friends. She is shown to hold her father in high esteem and looks to him for inspiration. Like the Princess who freed her, Elena values keeping promises no matter what and has a strong dislike of disappointing her loved ones to the point where she can take on more than she can handle. Also like Sofia, she has a personal approach to leadership and a disregard for her own personal safety. Unlike Sofia though, Elena is very confident, to the point where she can be careless. Also unlike Sofia, who is quite particular, Elena can rush into things and miss key points. Her grandfather Francisco noted this to her through the story of the king who thought he had lost his crown, a way of telling her she wasn't ready to rule alone. Elena is reluctant to take advice at the beginning, while Sofia can take too much advice. She's also shown to love Dia de los Muertos because she sees it as a party where everyone you love is invited.

In "The Race for the Realm" while she was focusing on getting the rest of the pieces of the Scepter of Night the flashbacks of Shuriki murdering her parents got the better of her, so much so Elena decided to kill her that moment instead of waiting for later and protecting the pieces.

## Trivia

* The age gap between Elena and Isabel is six years.
* Funnily enough, Elena was still in mortal peril even when she was trapped in the Amulet of Avalor. Had Princess Ivy's attempts to destroy it succeeded, Elena would more than likely have perished.
* Elena mentions in "Realm of the Jaquins" that she has three more years until she becomes queen of Avalor. Having turned 17 by then, she will be 20 when she becomes queen.
* Princess Elena meets Thomas, Twilight Sparkle, The Lion Guard and The Wild Kratts in *Thomas and Twilight Sparkle Discovers Elena and the Secret of Avalor.*
* Princess Elena, along with her friends and family guest star in Thomas and Twilight Sparkle's Adventures Series.
