Lello

**Lello** is a grey parrot/cockatiel, and he is a recurring character within the Planet Pals' Minecraft content. In every incarnation, he is Pixel's most beloved pet. He has often been criticized for his violent and judgemental tendencies, but Lello and his lawyers always deny these accusations.

Lello is a perpetually jealous bird. His jealousy extends to other pets, as well as human friends. The only other pet he openly likes is his fellow parrot Kiwi, though he occasionally tolerates others.

## Biography

### Planet Pals SMP

Lello lived as a wild parrot until late 2021, when he was discovered and tamed by Pixel. He was taken from his jungle home, and he moved into The Caverns, where he lived for several months. Within the first week in his new abode, Lello gained a feathery roommate named Kiwi, whom he would later befriend.

   On February 21st, 2022, Lello moved into the Planet Pals' holiday home. He was joined by Kiwi, as they were a bonded pair. He soon fell from public favor after being blamed for Clyde's spontaneous death. Following his trial, he was released back to Pixel's care, and his life continued as usual. Naturally, he was quite feared after the incident, but he was notably quite pleased by this development.

Lello assisted in the building of Phroggie's Mushroom Mansion, as one of three regularly-assigned companion pets. Unlike his companion counterparts, Squishy and Lulu, Lello easily adapted to the long distance travel. He was also the only building companion to not suffer any injury on the job, as Lulu nearly suffocated in sand, and Squishy died of pufferfish poisoning. Lello attended Squishy's memorial service in The Archives.

On April 10th, 2022, Lello attended the Planet Pals' formal dinner, a classy event intended to christen the newly-built dining hall and recreation room in the holiday home. Lello invited Kiwi as his plus one, and the two shared a lovely meal of gourmet wheat seeds. They did not partake in the swimming portion of the event, as they were too preoccupied with their date.

Lello unfortunately fell victim to the Planet Pals SMP's accidental deletion. Though it was brief, his absence was a heavy blow to Pixel.

### Planet Pals Origins

Following the creation of the Origins server, Lello swiftly returned to haunt the Planet Pals once more. He was found and tamed in an oddly-generated jungle during one of Clyde and Pixel's routine exploration expeditions, merely a month after a new incarnation of Kiwi had appeared on the server. Lello moved into The Burrows, briefly living under Pixel's bedroom stairs.

Lello soon learned to safely and non-violently occupy a space alongside other animals, as he lived mainly in the Burrows' main wing, where most pets resided. For a few days, he shared a room with Hector, a donkey escape artist, but Lello was not particularly fond of his new roommate, so he moved back into the main wing. Much to Lello's displeasure, Kiwi decided to remain in the east wing with Hector.

Lello is mentioned to be tolerant of Newt, Pixel's main companion dog and head of the menagerie/west wing, though the two have rarely been seen interacting.

### Planet Pals Paradise

Despite Kiwi having made his first appearance on the Planet Pals Paradise server, Lello has yet to be found.

### ERP Farm (Stardew Valley)

   In the Planet Pals' Stardew Valley co-op farm, Lello has taken the form of a white chicken. Lello the Chicken was purchased from Marnie on October 27th, 2023, and has quickly become a beloved member of the farm. Lello the Chicken is the first female Lello variant. The chicken's name was decided by the game's built-in name randomizer to be Lello, which the group found to be quite ironic.

This version of Lello appears to suffer from separation anxiety, as she has a tendency to pace uncontrollably whenever Clyde is absent from the farm. Unlike her counterparts, Lello the Chicken shows a close attachment to Clyde rather than Pixel, as Clyde was the one who bought her. She is also the first Lello variant to not be accused of criminal activity thus far.

One day after the arrival of Lello, another chicken was introduced. Kiwi, a brown chicken variant of Lello's bonded companion, moved into the ERP farm on October 28th, 2023. The two chickens share a coop on a small hill near the bottom of the farm. Their yard is decorated with torches and a convenient silo for hay storage.

On October 29th, 2023, a grange display featuring one of Lello's eggs won third place in the Stardew Valley Fair, with a rating of 63 points.

## History of Crime

Lello's previous crimes have included such notable entries as Arson, Attempted Murder, Manslaughter, Petty Theft, Shoplifting, Tax Fraud, and Treason. It is an impressive list of crimes committed by a bird, although some of the listed crimes are heavily debated.

Lello was accused of causing Clyde's spontaneous death during the Planet Pals' holiday home committee meeting. After a trial, he was ruled not guilty, and he walks free to this day.

## Trivia

* Lello's name is a play on the word "Yellow", referencing the yellow feathers on his head.
