## Brief History

Rover was the first robot introduced in Missouri, so he was immediately a hit. He'd entertain guests with his bass guitar and he'd tell them jokes and sing. In 2000, Bethany died, so Jack became his owner. In 2017, he was destroyed by Clark's axe, so now he has a permanent limp. He was replaced by Toy Rover as the mascot but he still remains a crucial part of the band as history and a back-up bass player. When he's not napping, that is.

## Appearance

Rover has green eyes, brown and white fur, a black nose, black whisker spots, and black eyebrows. He has a white tail tip, a white stripe down his face that goes into his muzzle and a white belly. He has brown feet and hands. He has floppy ears with pink insides and he has about 15 teeth left due to his age. He has a limp left leg that he drags around because the knee is permanent broken. He wears a green bowtie. He's supposed to wear a knee brace but he doesn't. Sometimes he uses a cane though. He has a speech impediment where he says his "L's as "W's" because of his missing teeth. He says "Wion' as "Lion" and "Cwover" instead of "Clover"
