Paul

**Paul** is one of the seagulls who lives on an island that's located above the reef village somewhere in the Southern Seas.

## Appearance

Paul has white feathers, black feathers on the head, a long orange beak with a brown tip, and dark-green eyes. The only way to distinguish Paul from Ringo and George is his "feather hairstyle". He has eight black feathers on both sides of his head.

## Personality

While John is the leader of his flock of seagulls, Paul serves as a de-facto leader of the trio (himself, Ringo, and George). The trio may not be the brightest birds altogether but out of the three, Paul is the schemer who would often come up with different ideas on how he, Ringo, and George would capture Ricky and Ella whenever they visit the island to eat them. But while he and his flock all want to capture the two turtles together, Paul would often become greedy and hypocritical, wanting to eat both Ricky and Ella all to himself without sharing them to Ringo and George. Because of it, sometimes Paul would argue with them about the tactics of catching the turtles, which lead to them being constantly outsmarted by Ricky and Ella.

## Relationships

### Ricky and Ella

Like the rest of the seagulls, Paul has a huge appetite for eating baby sea turtles because they're his natural prey. Whenever Ricky and Ella visit the island, Paul and his flock would try to capture them to eat them, but they would often get outsmart by the two turtles.

### Ringo and George

Because of John's refusal to eat any sea turtles after Sammy and Ray rescued him during the events of *A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise*, Paul serves as the de-facto leader of John's flock. He would often come up with different ideas for the flock to capture Ricky and Ella all together whenever they visit the island. But because of their greed, Paul and his flock would often argue over who gets to eat the two turtles all to themselves without sharing them.

### John

While John serves as the leader to Paul, Ringo, and George, he forbids his flock from eating Ricky and Ella whenever the turtles are visiting the island because of his refusal to eat them after the events of *A Turtle's Tale 2*. However, because of their appetite, Paul and his flock would often try to eat the two turtles whenever John's not around, as revealed in "Feathered Turtle" and "John the Terrible".

In "John the Terrible", John's refusal to eat the turtles leads to Paul and his flock having enough of him and they decided to not have him as their leader anymore, viewing him as a traitor to his kind since John would constantly stop them whenever he sees the trio about to eat Ricky and Ella. Unbeknownst to the trio, John was very upset about being kick out of the group that he asked Ricky and Ella for help to reclaim his title in the flock by pretending that John is going to eat them again. While Paul and the flock didn't see through the ruse, he's very impressed that John is willing to reclaim his role within the group by "capturing" Ricky and Ella to "eat" them all to himself. But John's plan backfired when Sammy and Ray believe that it was happening for real, which lead to Paul and his flock going after Ricky and Ella while John left to talk to them. In order to rescue the kids, Sammy and Ray both pretended to be "infected" by a virus after eating a coconut which leads to them wanting to "eat" the seagulls. John arrives and helps "rescue" Paul and his flock when they all fall for their trickery, which leads to Paul deciding to have John back as their leader for his "bravery".

### Coralia and her children

When Coralia visited the island to lay her eggs in "Eggheads", the seagull trio all want to steal the eggs so they can eat her hatchlings. After she left the island to wait for her eggs to hatch, the trio stole her eggs and brought it to their nest. Paul and Ringo were both unaware that George secretly cares for Coralia's children after they all hatched without them knowing, but they didn't show any remorse to George when he intentionally helps Coralia get her hatchlings back near the end of the episode.

### Lulu

Because Lulu is a teacher to both Ricky and Ella, Paul also views him as an enemy. In "Eggheads", he and his flock distracted Lulu while he's guarding Coralia's eggs so they could steal the eggs to eat the hatchlings.

### Sammy and Ray

While Paul doesn't interact with Sammy and Ray a lot, he seems to view them as threats to the seagull trio since the two turtles are both grandfathers to Ella and Ricky, respectively. When the trio is about to eat Ricky and Ella in "John the Terrible", Sammy and Ray both pretended to be "infected" by a virus after eating a coconut which leads to them wanting to "eat" the seagulls. Paul and his flock all fall for their trickery and escape from them, leaving Ricky and Ella alone.
