Gerrell

**Gerrell** is a friend and former enemy of Dee and Bobo who was tricked into fighting them by Terry, but Jarell again found out he was tricked.

## **Concept and Creation**

He was created by series creator Deiontre Carter because he wanted to make a rival for Dee.

He is once again based on another real life figure of Deiontre Carter's personal life, a friend of his called Jarell. The reason bring was because they'd always play basketball and it had a very Sonic and Knuckles element to their relationship.

They'd compete for a win, but were still on friendly terms.

He based his design on Knuckles the Echidna from the Sonic The Hedgehog series so that he could match the Sonic and Knuckles rivalry he has with Dee.

## **Appearance**

Gerrell is a slender and athletically fit boy, who at the time was slightly shorter then Dee in height. He has wide hair that goes in curls sideways to both of his ears. He also wears punk-sytle wrist gear that allows him to dig and climb. In his first appearance, he wore a red gym t shirt with grey shorts and dark shoes.

## **Personality**

Jarell is rather solitary and has a short-temper. He is quick to snap and always eager to prove his strength. He is rather tactical, quiet and prefers a calm rational solution to every situation. He gets angry easily and often prone to violence as the first answer if he's mocked, insulted or looked down on. Gerrell is one to trust enemies too much and it often has precautions for Dee. He gets annoyed by some of the smallest of problems, especially involving Kollan. He is a devoted guardian and hardly ever leaves his island while protecting the Gator Teeth. Though due to occasional boredom, he at least tries to leave his island and get out more, exploring the city in the process. He prefers to do everything on his own, which often leads him to be stubborn and unable to accept help when he needs it and when he's outclassed by superior opponents or villains. Though he has grown out of it, and has grown more mature, understanding when it's important to never handle things alone. He has also grown to appreciate Dee as a friend and worthy rival and has helped him more than once.
