Josh Tomar

**Fitz Fellow** is the large and imposing gardener at Tangle Tower. Although he gives off an intimidating air, he's actually quite shy and unassuming. He is the cousin of Freya and Fifi, the nephew of Felix and Flora, as well as the fiancé of Penny, though he's also implied to have a secret romance with Poppy. He appears in Tangle Tower as a suspect in the Murder of Freya Fellow.

He is voiced by Josh Tomar.

## Appearance

Described as, *"Well over six foot.." -Detective Grimoire*

He has jaw-length, wavy, purple hair, in a middle-part, red eyes and wears a shirt with overalls. As far as body type, he is very muscular and intimidating in appearance.

## Personality

Fitz is the second-most quiet person living at Tangle Tower, and very shy. Unlike Flora, he does talk though. Overall he seems very down-to-earth. Considering he likes Penny enough to want to marry her, and breed a flower that looks just like her, he probably likes colourful things. Additionally, he breeds many other plants that are not only colourful, but that bear gemstone fruits. When asked what he does with these fruits he replies "you look at it." He also often wears earmuffs while working to discourage people from talking to him.

## Story

### Background

He is the son of Flint Fellow and Emily Everstone, whose relationship was very short, according to Professor Pointer, and they never married.

He grows a variety of exotic and even one-of-a-kind flowers in his greenhouse, which he attributes to the unique properties of the lake water around the tower. At some point he got engaged to Penny, and spent ages breeding a flower in her image. Turns out she's not good with plants, so he regularly sneaks into her room to take care for it. He has established friendships with Freya and Poppy. He let the former gather bugs from his greenhouse, and teaches the latter about gardening.

### Day of the Murder

The gardener's day naturally started in the greenhouse with some watering and weeding. After a while he was joined by Penny, and they talked a little. In the early afternoon they both left, and Fitz went to his room for a bit, before working in the main gardens, and then in the rooftop garden, where he was joined by Poppy. Out of the blue they heard a loud noise, like a scream, but inhuman, from Flora's Tower. They went to investigate, but the door was locked, as it usually is, so Fitz kicked it down. Inside they found Freya lying on her back, dead. Flora was less noticable on the floor by the windows. After everyone had gathered and then started to leave again, Fitz went to notify Detective Hawkshaw of Freya's death.

### Tangle Tower

Throughout the story he expresses on several occasions that he's very fond of Penny, and that he sees past who she pretends to be while others make assumptions. It's implied the relationship has been less than good recently. It's made clear he likes Poppy as well, and there are many moments that could be implying that their relationship has taken a romantic turn, just as Penny claims, but nothing is comfirmed. There are also other possible interpretations, such as them being awkwardly aware of Penny's jealousy, but still wanting to nurture a platonic friendship with each other.

Fitz barges into Flora's Tower at the end after Grimoire and Sally have been knocked out. He says when they come to that Penelope "was crouched down beside" them with her crossbow, implying she may have been about to harm them, but suggests she may simply have been checking they really were unconscious. Crossbow *is* a longrange weapon, but Fitz is also the one who was most fond of Penny, and most likely to give her the benefit of the doubt. Either way, Penny jumped out the window and escaped on the boat. Thanks to Fitz, she left the Golden Beetle behind. Fitz carries Grimoire and Sally to the Lake's Edge, where they wake up a while later.
