Travis Hawke

**Trent "Travis" Hawke** is one of the main characters in the *Bowser's Koopalings* series. He was initially introduced in *Bowser's Bodyguard*, where he first met Wendy and the two had a pleasant conversation, before Wendy had to leave. He later saved Bowser from Tyson in the same episode, and made regular appearances throughout the remainder of Season 5 before being promoted to a main character at the start of Season 6. He is portrayed as calm, laidback, and slow to anger, and has a good reputation around Dark Valley as handsome and popular, with even Camilla having a crush on him. He and Wendy started dating presumably after *Love Triangle*, after the two had a successful date together at the castle, though Wendy was smaller than her normal size due to the effects of a spell Kamek used to try and get Wendy back to her normal size.

## General Information

He first appears as a barman at the Dark Valley nightclub Wonderworld, where he meets Wendy O. Koopa and sparks an interesting conversation with her before she is dragged home by Larry and Ludwig. Luckily for Travis, Wendy left her phone, so he arrived at Bowser's Castle the next day to return it. To his surprise, however, Tyson was about to activate a Remote Bob-omb in order to get the throne. Saving the day, he attacks Tyson, causing him to drop the remote to activate the Bob-omb, and gets hit by a shadowy punch from Tyson before Kamek blasts Tyson with teleportation magic to send him away from the bomb.

## Backstory

Most of Travis' backstory has yet to be revealed. It is unknown how long he has lived in Dark Valley or how long he has been working as a barman at Wonderworld. He also is shown to own a car in *Ludwig's Dilemma*, though it is unknown how this was acquired. Characters like Carl & Gooper in the *Carl* series also own cars despite being around the same age as Travis, though Carl's was bought as a gift by Calvin and Linda and appears much cheaper than Travis', whereas Gooper gets into shady activities and potentially stole it or doesn't pay for it. Ludwig seems to believe Travis has a shady background, though this seems to be an assumption brought upon by Ludwig's prejudice for his popularity.

Travis' real name was confirmed to be Trent during his interaction with his parallel self who also goes by that name, adding that there is a lot that Wendy and her brothers don't know regarding his personal life and having the Parallel Trent keeping Travis' secret.

## Personality

Travis is portrayed as a calm, cool and popular guy in his teens. He is shown to care a great deal about Wendy, going as far to travel all the way to the castle to return her phone in *Bowser's Bodyguard*, and following Larry, Morton, Lemmy & Ludwig to Stardust Fields in *Ludwig's Dilemma (1/2)* on her behalf. He is very slow to anger; he has been insulted by Bowser on several occasions, despite saving Bowser from Tyson in *Bowser's Bodyguard*, but unlike other characters doesn't try to fire back or criticise the king himself. He is viewed as handsome by several of the female characters, with Wendy developing a crush on him very easily, and earning the affection of Camilla, despite Camilla already being married to Roy. He is well-liked among most of the other Koopalings as well, with them often calling him chill or cool. Ludwig on the other hand is shown to find Travis very annoying, likely due to his popular social standing. Bowser also sees him as a bad influence, likely also due to how quickly he and Wendy grew close.

## Appearance

Travis is a tall, thin Koopa in his mid-teens, being mostly similar in design to Larry and Iggy, having a pale yellow mouth, large eyes and two fangs on each side of his mouth. His pupils are yellow and the top of his head is blue. He also has distinct blue skin, as well as platinum blonde hair with ice blue tips on the end of his fringe. He wears a white shell with a gold casing and rings around his spikes, as well as the front of his shell being gold rather than the usual pale color. His cuffs are also white with gold casings. The amount of gold in his appearance the fact that he owns a car could imply he's somewhat wealthy, despite his job as a barman.
