## General

JT is a main character who appeared during Season 2 of *The Story*. He is a unique type of Dawg known as a Whatwolf who has a habit of saying "what" rather frequently.

## Personality

JT is best described as a goof. He mainly serves to be something of an annoyance, bouncing around and saying "what" all hours of the day. He's not too terribly intelligent and that gets him into all sorts of trouble. Thankfully, he doesn't usually realize that he's even in any sort of danger.

## Appearance

JT is an anthropomorphic dog of average height with teal-colored fur and a white underbelly. He has spiky "hair" that is a darker shade of teal than his regular fur. His unique trait is that he has heterochromia, or two different-colored eyes. His left eye is red and his right eye is blue.

## History

JT debuted as a new Dawg character in Season 2 following the departure of Elee, Luno, and RedEye after Season 1. He first appeared in *Case of the Whats* when Amber randomly walked in with him, saying that she found him on the side of the road and decided to bring him home. When she left him alone with Nathan, it became clear that he couldn't really speak properly and would only ever say "what" when talked to. The next few chapters highlighted JT getting on Nathan's nerves, especially when he started saying "hoop" constantly. After this, he and his "what" quirk were toned down as the characters set off on their island adventure and their trip through Moonview Forest and beyond and he started talking normally like everyone else. He stuck around until the end of the Season, serving as a side character that got involved in all sorts of bits and schemes.

While he wasn't a part of the official character roster for Season 3, he did stay for a while and participated in the play at the start of the Season. After which, he was dropped as a main character but continued to appear in the novel in random background roles such as the replacement manager of the cellphone/scone store in *The Last-Resort Method* and the royal chef in *The Princess Sarah Chapters*. This continued throughout Seasons 3, 4, and 5.

## Trivia

* While I've officially made it that his left eye is red and his right eye is blue, the illustrations don't always reflect this because it was hard to remember which was which back in the day.
* Seeing as he was the royal chef in *The Princess Sarah Chapters*, it's clear he has quite the cooking skill.
* His "what" quirk may have some relation to BlueEye's Seryitis disease.
* Interestingly, he still had a room in the house at the beginning of Season 3 despite no longer being a main character.
* A poster of Dennis was found in his room, indicating he might have a crush on him. He might have gotten the idea of a closet poster from Zack, seeing as in Season 2 he found a similar poster of Amber in Zack's closet.
* In *The Possessioning*, Nathan finds a poster of JT in a closet in Anime Castle which makes everyone wonder if he's actually super famous. While it's never confirmed in the novel, he is actually Julian Toronto, a famous actor and comedian who went missing shortly after a mishap at one of his shows caused him to lose his memory.
