Barry

**Barry** is a supporting character in the feature film, *Animal Planet* and in the *Enchanted Pup* franchise. He's the youngest son of Benjamin and Abby and the younger brother of Flash.

## Background

Barry was born in Basel's Garden and resides in an apartment with his parents, uncle and older brother, Flash. Like his brother, Barry hangs out with his best friend, Fido. He met Fido at his elementary school during recess. A strong friendship began to form after they played on the playground and eventually discovered that they lived in the same apartment. After school hours, Barry would try his best to help Flash, since the latter idolizes him, greatly.

During Barry's childhood, an evil bird nicknamed Red Bird infiltrated Basel's Garden and took residence in the Bungle Jungle Volcano. He began to mercilessly exterminate mammals that intrude in his lair. It was not long enough until Red Bird became an increasingly-dangerous threat to the mammals. The BPD failed to keep Red Bird in jail, so to ensure safety in the garden, King Basel ordered the citizens of the city to remain inside their homes until the threat has been eliminated. Out of fear, Barry hopes to keep his family and friends in safety until Red Bird has been apprehended.

### Personality

Barry is shown to be Flash's eager to please little brother and a child who loves to play with his close friends and relatives. Barry, however, tends to get easily anxious and has a complicated time explaining his anxieties to his relatives. He is still however, very kind and loyal to everyone he meets. Barry is rather shy when greeted but his playful and loving side will be shown. He socializes with someone by playing a game with them or engaging into a conversation with them.

Barry is fairly intelligent and always provides considerable wisdom for his relatives and friends. For example, in the episode *Overlioned,* Barry tried to tell his brother Flash to be honest with his friends he's struggling to say no to them. The other reason why he does it is because he doesn't want Flash to get into trouble. He shows a great degree of sympathy when his brother gets into trouble and is instantly the first one to approach him when he's feeling regret over his actions. Barry is usually the first one to approach his friends when they're in trouble or if they're having a bad day. He always does everything he can to help his friends and fix their problems.

Barry isn't described as a coward but as mentioned before he has anxiety issues, a trait that he inherited from his father. When Barry and his family were finally captured by Red Bird, he was petrified over the thought of being killed at a very young age. Barry can be calmed down if he's close to his family.

### Physical appearance

Barry is a slender and small lion cub wearing a red hoodie and blue pants.

After becoming the prince of Basel's Garden, Barry is shown to be wearing formal attire whenever he's presenting himself publicly to the kingdom.
